IIIini Coach Unhappy
After Live Workout

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 26
(AP).-Big Ten champion Illi-
nois seems in no danger Of
leaving its Rose Bowl game on
the practice field.
In fact, the Illini may be
hard pressed trying to find
their championship form be-
fore the New Years Day foot
ball game with Washington.
I'VE had lousy blocking,
lousy hitting. bad ball-han-
ding and were awfully slow, 4"
snorted Coach Pete Elliott
after a Christmas Day scrim-
mage which marked the first
Illini live" work since Thanks
giving Day.
Tests Offense
The Illini celebrated Christ
mas with a two-hour mid
afternoon drill highlighted by
a 30-minute offensive scrim-
mage against deep reserves
equipped with expected Wash
ington defenSes.
Elliott was so upset by the
ineffectiveneSS of his first
three units in trying to move
the ball, he allowed the de-
fensive scrubs an early start
to the showers and made the
varsity puff itself out of breath
in wind sprints.
We're not close to game
sharpness by any means" said
Elliott, whose Illini started
drills here a week behind the
Huskies.
I'VE have a long way to &c
and time is running out on
us. You can say we will have
to scrimmage again, probably
today"
The Illini, rated approx
mately a one touchdown favor
lite over the Big Six cham
pions. began drills at Brook
side Park adjacent to the Rose
Bowl last Sunday. They have
five single daily drills left.
HuskieS Nearby
Sixteen practice days are al
lowed for Rose Bowl prepare
tions. Washington had two.
a-day sessions at nearby Long
Beach from December 16 until
last week end.
The Illini worked out five
days at Champaign. Ill, before
arriving here Saturday, but
sub-zero weather kept then

Chicago Sunday is almost a
must" for Coach Allie Sher-
mans men. The Giants have
failed in four tries for the big
apple in the last five years.
That's some sort Of a record. al
though only two can be charg-
ed against Sherman. The Pack
ers beat him twice, and the
Colts won two in a row from
Jim Lee Howell's last two Giant
elevens.
The Bears have a 80 edge
on the New Workers in these
post-season romps. and only
once have they lost the title
when it was decided at Wrigley
Field. The Redskins, believe it
or not. handed them that set
back In 1887 when Wayne Mill
'ner, Cliff Battles, S m my
Baugh and Co. skidded to q 28-
81 decision. Skidded is the
proper word and the rink, er,
gridiron, may be in the same
condition this week.
Playoffs are almost always
cold and, for the press, uncom-
Portable. But Sunday can't be
any worse than 1945 when the
Redskins lost a 1914 verdict to
the Rams, then based in Cleve-
land. 1t was so bad the Red
skins band instruments froze,
as well as some typewriters in
the press box. Well never know
how the poor guys on the side
line, substitute players. sur
vived.
We had one little oil stove in
the long, narrow, and at the
time unheated Cleveland press
box. The late Denny Shea,
league treasurer, squatted next
to it and was the only one
who derived any benefit from
it's pale blaze. 1t was 6 degrees
outside, but the enclosed press
box was colder. The glass kept
the "heat" out. Anybody with a
nip to ward off pneumonia
used to wipe the frosty glaze
off the windows-hang the risk
Of illness-to see what the
players were doing on the field
1t was q day on which digni-
fied-lo looking men and women,
who tried alcohol to fight the
penetrating chill and ended up
numb anyway, were dragged
down runways, literally, like
sleds at the games end. They
couldn't walk and would have
frozen to death If left behind
Understanding police carefully
tucked them into paddy wag-
ons and took them to hotels
railroad stations or even home.
1t was quite a day.
Three years later the Eagles
and Cardinals clashed in the
memorable battle Of the
snow" at Shibe Park in Phila-
delphia, but the outdoor press
box wasn't as uncomfortable a.
that in Cleveland. At least you
could brush off some Of the
snowflakes.
Few, including the officials
knew exactly what was goinl
on because nobody actually
knew the yardmarkers' posi-.

ployed his crew around the field
to mark out-of-bound lines anc
