The way Coach Blanton
Collier explained it, the con-
cept of the Cleveland Browns
passing offense always has
been to hit a variety of re-
ceivers.
Standing in the D. c. Sta
dunn dressing room after the
27-20 victory over the Red
skins Sunday. Collier pointed
out that none of his pass re-
ceivers is listed in the 10 top
in latest National Football
League statistics.
That is" he emphasized,
Gin number of catches. But our
Gary Collins now has caught
13 touchdown passes. That's
two more than the club record
Dante Lavelli once caught II
in a season"
Collier was asked to explain
how a second-year TANKER
even an All-American when he
was at Maryland, could cross
the goal line so often. Going
into the week end, only Terry
Barr Of Detroit had caught
more scoring tosses-12-ano
Barr is the fourth leading re-
ceiver in the league.
WELL" the coach began ir
cropping for a reply. Gary has
great hands, good moves, fairly
good speed and when he gets
down close to the goal line he
goes up and fights for the ball
And he's big enough not to
get sidetracked by those defen-
sive backs when he's in the air. "
Collins caught two I'D passes
Sunday. The first was a "a
yard play in which he got be-
hind Dick James, but it also
appeared that Claude Crabh
could intercept. Crabb was
waiting for the ball on about
the 5-yard line, but Collins
took the initiative and went up
for it. He came down with it,
too, but almost dropped it as
he stumbled across the goal.
The other Collins touchdown
came on the second play of
the last quarter, a relatively
simple thing in which he out

On the way to the showers,
Ross Fichtner, a defensive
safetyman, leaned around his
locker and yelled at Collins;

had two interruptions today

the right personnel-the men
who can block, tackle, carry
the ball, catch 1t and smear the
opposition. Good players can
make even q bad coach look
good. After four years of pick
ing and choosing, calling the
shots, etc., Bill should have a
winning squad.
The 1864 campaign will be
the most important Of Nc
Peaks coaching career. It can
make or break him as q head
man, and the guess here is
that there will be q new atti-
tude In the dressing room. Nc
Peak doesn't necessarily have
to change character, but little
mistakes that make q big diff
ference In the outcome of q
ball game probably won't be
CLOSED over. A player either
will produce or hit the road.
We have a feeling there also
will be q tightening up on the
coaching staff. The big mistake
against the Browns late In the
game Sunday was q classic
example Of q bad piece Of judg-
ment from the bench. Bill took
the responsibility for calling
for q rush" when Gary Collins
dropped back to punt, but he
might be taking the rap for an
assistant.
The Browns were extremely
lucky to wiggle out of q trap
they set for themselves. They
passed on third down, when
they should have called a run
ming play to help waste time. 1t
missed and not only stopped
the clock for the Redskins, but
Cleveland had to give up the
ball on a punt. Then Redskin
.lineman Andy Stynchula
bumped Collins, causing q pen
atty against the Skins and the
Browns kept the ball.
Win, lose or draw-and q tie,
was the most the Redskins
could have gotten, it would
have been far more exciting to
watch the Redskins striving for
a last-second touchdown on
the last play Of the season,
then to see the Browns run out
the clock.
IT called the rush." McPeak
explained yesterday, but they
weren't supposed to touch the
kicker"
Obviously, a coach can't con-
troll his players on the field like
a puppeteer, but when a team
bungles as frequently as the
Redskins, the coach can re-
move the offenders from the
scene-or should.

Carroll High School, after
losing its first two games, has
won three In a row in an ef-
fort to reach a peak for its

day, after the announcement
that he would be back in 1864,
Bill spoke Of an expanded
scouting system. It's q good
move. This should be a depart
ment in itself with no other
duties for its chief than to con-
fer with ivory hunters, look
over reports on prospects, re-
view films and sign players
once they've been drafted.
The Cowboys installed q
5000 BM calculating ma
chine to sort and grade reports
on players dug up by their
scouts, and the No. man on
their list was Halfback Charley
Taylor Of Arizona State Univ
ersity. The Redskins, who
drafted ahead Of Dallas, got
him, and they think they land
ed a good one. They didn't use
a machine but the eyes and
ears of various scouts who saw
Taylor in action.
In street clothes Taylor is
not impressive. Their No. 2
choice, Paul Krause, who
signed yesterday, is not impress
Sive either. Nor is Tommy Mac
Donald, 18th draft choice from
Notre Dame, who paid q visit
to the clubs offices yesterday.
But men who watched all
three, men who know a good
move from a bad one, men who
are expert at sizing up material
say all three have pro talent.
For McPeak's sake we hope so.
Only one more item remains
to be settled before Bill can get
on with plans for 1964-wheth-
er or not he will continue to
serve as general manager as
well as coach. Holding both
offices has advantages and
penalties. It might be better for
McPeak to give up the general
managers post. retaining only
the right to draft, sign and
trade players, and let someone
else handle the paper work.
Heaven knows he spends en-
ough time now on strategy
without having to worry about
training camp menus, plane
schedules, printing tickets, etc.
Wrapping up the old year
one can look back at several
mistakes, in both personnel sell
ection and performance. which,
If avoided, might have given
the team better than a Sill re-
cord. We can only hope they
won't be repeated, that McPeak
not only finds the men needed
for a winner, but comes up
with smart, imaginative foot
ball to bring out the best in
them.
