WIN LOSE OR DRAW

1T LOOKS AS IF the Redskins, moving
closer to their second exhibition Of the
summer against the Philadelphia Eagles
on Saturday, are going to sink or swim
with the present corps Of running backs.
Bill McPeak, general manager and head
coach, isn't having much luck in swinging
a trade for the kind of ball carrier he pri-
vately feels he needs.
McPeak returned emptyhanded to the
Carlisle pa training camp after talking
to the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns,
New York Giants and Detroit Lions over
the week end. He has been stockpiling
linemen, Bill admits, SO as to deal for a
