Now If / were Jimmy Jump
up writing in The Star" the
Redskins owner would say,
this is how I would write the
story" But his advice was ver-
bal, not actually written out.
1t was risky, not to say dan
gerous, to whip out a pencil
in Marshall's presence. The
man wouldn't stop talking. He
was almost as bad as the late
Jim Tatum on the telephone.
The late Clark Griffith
wasn't above telling a story in
the interest Of better public
relations for the Senators.
Heinie Miller delivered re-
sounding blasts from boxing
commission headquarters.
College coaches were unfail-
ing pipelines of information,
and even a Congressman would
get into the act from time to
time. But would these gentle
men write the stories for you?
Never. Especially not in serial
form.

This opens up undreamed-of
possibilities for future genera
tons of writer's. Knock the
team, insult the president, take
a verbal swat at the coach or
manager, or possibly just write
the plain truth and-zingo-
here comes a weeks supply Of
stories. Then sit back, look 'em
over and issue a statement.
The lengthiest document this
corner ever received from the
Redskins was an irate note from
Marshall confirming that the
club did so have a payroll of
over 100000 a year. This ar
gument, No. 5,732,974,604-B of
a series, dated back to sendoff
sports writers gave in honor of
Eddy Gilmore, who was leav-
ing for an assignment in Lon
don for the Associated Press.
Somehow it didn't seem to
us that the Redskins payroll
was particularly heavy at the
time (the early 1940s) and we
said so. After the affair George
hustled back to his office, got
out the books, toted up the
salaries and wrote a briStling
note informing us of his find
ings. He also sent one to Burt
Hawkins, then a writer for The
Star, on the ground that Burt
had heard the discussion-as
who in the room hadn't-and
was entitled to know the facts.
The memory of this came
back at a remark made by
Wayne Millner at the last
meeting of the Redskins Alumni
Association.

BraxtOn Saves
Mackin With
Clutch Basket
BY JIM CAWOOD
Contributing Writer

Even If Butch Braxton isn't
shooting, he's a most valuable
player to have in the Mackin
High School lineup.
Still hobbled by a muscle tear
in his left shoulder, suffered
last week against DeMatha,
Braxton stole the ball with 80
seconds remaining and scored
the winning basket in the Tro-
JAMS 1864 victory over Fair
mont Heights yesterday on the
losers court.
With the score tied at 64-64
and SO seconds left, Fairmont
tried to freeze for the last shot,
but Braxton, who sat out the
entire third quarter with four
fouls, intercepted a pass at
mid-court and went all the way
In for the winning two points.
Art Baylor added an insurance
basket in the last seconds as
the Hornets suffered their first
loss in seven games.
At first it was feared that
Braxton's shoulder was broken,
but it is healing nicely, al
though it still is sore and ham
pers his shooting. Yesterday the
6-foot-l senior was able to take
only seven shots, not many for
a player averaging 1873 points
per game last year and so far
this season.
With Braxton nullified as a
scorer, Bill Butler and Jim
Shaw had to shoot more than
usual, making 40 field goal at
tempts between them. Butler
scored Is points to pace the
Trojans and Shaw added Is.
Baylor grabbed 18 rebounds,
Butler 13, and Braxton 10, five
of them in the last four
minutes.
Julius Johnson, whose shoot
ing was off target in the first
half, made up for it with nine
points in the last quarter and
led Fairmont with II points.
Royce Day, a 6-foot-5 sopho-
mora garnered IA points and
is rebounds for the Hornets.
In winning their eighth game
in 10 starts, the Trojans con-
tinued their pattern of playing
the close ones. In all but two
games the margin Of victory
has been eight points or less.
The biggest margin, outside of
a romp over Anacostia, was a
12-point victory over DeMatha,
the Trojans' opponent Friday.

UNORTHODOX BALL HANDLER
Taylor Triggers Tech Triumph
BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

Ed Taylor Of Mckinley Tech
High School has an unusual
way of handling a basketball,
but he's successful in the scor-
ing department so neither he
nor Coach Artie Boyd plan any
changes in his style.
Taylor, who dribbles with his
left hand and shoots with his
right, spanked Tech to a come
from behind 47-43 victory over
a scrappy Balou team yester-
day at Ballou. 1t was the
Trainers second straight VIC
tory in the Interhigh Leagues
East Division. Ballou is 0-2.
The Tech star scored only
three points in the first half
as Ballou kept him from get
ting inside. But Ed got hot in
the fourth quarter and scored
nine of his teams last Is
points as Tech broke up a close
game with a quick squirt.
Taylor now has scored l51
points in six games for a 25.l
average. He has hit 81 points
twice this year,
Ballou jumped off to a 1913
first-quarter lead but Tech
battled back and was behind by
only two at halftime. The score
was 31-31 after three quarters
but Tech put on a press and
moved ahead, 1885, at one
point.
Ballou, led by the shooting of
Sophomore Don TIL pson,
came right back with a spurt
of its own but it fell short. The
Knights lost the chance to pull
the upset by throwing the ball
away countless times while
Tech pressed on defense.
Taylor switches hands so
quickly that it often fakes the
defensive man out Of position,
giving him a clear shot. How
ever, Ballou made him look bad
in the first half by applying
pressure on the outside. Ed
broke that up with some quick
drives in the second half.
Willette Graham took some
Of the pressure off Taylor by
scoring IA points for the Train
ers. Tim Moore netted 10 for
Ballou, hitting on four long
Jump shots.
