Although Maryland doesn't

worried In the least about the

It's North Carolina States

zled.
This should produce o quick

"Yeh." Nugent said, they

we know he can throw. In fact,
we're going to be prepared for

When you're q tricky guy

Nugent said, painting the pic
ture, "and they went through
the whole thing without once
throwing"
As Nugent sees 1t, this Is like
Barry Goldwater denying he's

are they trying to kid?
The clincher came at Mary

ence. Earle Edwards, the Wolf

Lest there be doubt where
Quarterback Norman Snead
stands In the Redskins scheme
Of things, he'll be the starting
quarterback against the Rams
in Los Angeles Saturday night.
Coach Bill McPeak made the
announcement before the squad
departed for the West Coast.
McPeak found no fault with
George Izo's work at Cleveland
after George relieved Snead in
the second half. Indeed, he had
only praise for the 99-yard
touchdown pass from Izo to
Bobby Mitchell, which tempo
rarily put the Redskins back in
the game. But he didn't blame
Snead for his off day. 1t hap
pens to all Of them.
Snead was criticized for
playing a running game-even
after the Browns had a COM
manding 24-7 lead--by dis
gruntled fans and amateur
coaches who thought he should
have gone to the air. But
McPeak said Norman followed
the game plan he set up, and
that he, McPeak, would take
the criticism.
Plan Goes Awry
The coach again pointed out
that 1t Is extremely difficult
to throw against fast defensive
backs, such as the Browns have,
playing q deep zone defense.
Our idea was to gnaw
away at their line, and we
thought we could run against
them and force the secondary
to move up closer" the coach
said. Then we intended to
throw long on them. 1t didn't
work out that way, but 1t
wasn't Norman's fault. He
only followed instructions"
There Is q good chance that
Izo again will be called on
for help against the Rams If
Snead finds the weather too
hot. McPeak already has in
dicated plans for using every
body to stave off heat exhaus-
ton, and he won't hesitate
to spell Snead. But Izo's ap-
pearance won't be q vote Of
no-confidence in Norman. He's
still No. /.

tunities afforded the Rams.
! There was, for example. the
two-day seminar conducted by
the Executive-Power Founda-
ton, to which all Ram veterans
were subjected. Coach Harland
Svare decided the course would
help dispel the doubts that SO
often creep into an athletes
mind and give him the conf
dence needed to win. 1t wasn't
one of those day by day in
every way I'm getting better
and better" ideas. but a method
successfully used in business to
show men how to face up to
their daily problems and whip
them.
Part Of the course. given by
q Los Angeles psychologist,
dealt with injuries, or the pain
Of injuries. The gentlemen sug-
gested a method Of positive
thinking that would calm
throbbing muscles and ease the
pain. Two injured Rams, Jon
Arnett and Art Hunter, tried
the method and 1t worked.
Nothing tricky, no film flam,
simply a way Of making a fell
low realize it didn't really hurt
as much as he thought.
The brochure describing the
seminar defined 1t as "a con-
centrated, action -oriented pro-
gram A.. . designed with a sim
gle focus to show participants
the way to rapid. dramatic i'm
provement In personal effec-
tiveness. Obviously. the Rams
failed their first test against
the Lions. Or, 1t could have
been that the Lions. knowing
about the Los Angeles expert
ment had taken q course Of
their own, probably entitled "a
concentrated. action oriented
program designed TO stop
the other teams dramatic i'm
provement In personal effec-
tiveness."
Executive-Power is supposed
TO embody a down-to-earth APP
proach, with emphasis on re-
suits. Instruction Is given In
step-by-step application oi
techniques by which the Mega
tive attitudes and habit pat
terms, which restrict the execu-
tive from operating at full
effectiveness, can be quickly

The National League PEN
nant race may be settled, but
it looks like a fight to the
finish for the individual home
run title in the American
League.
Dick Stuart of the Red Sox
hit his 41st round-tripper last
night, but Minnesota's Har-
mon Killebrew stayed right on
his heels by slugging his 40th.
Stuart has seven games left
and Killebrew has eight.
Otherwise, the pitchers DOM

of the Orioles posted his goth

back aside to point out that
he took too many steps the
wrong way and missed the hole.
The Washington staff spent
days, more than three weeks,
trying to brush away negative
attitudes. Only last Sunday,
after the Cleveland nightmare,
McPeak noted that the Red
skins weren't sufficiently "pos-
tive" in their offense to move
the Browns. It had to be the
same stuff the Rams used I'M
der a fancy name with a per-
suasive lecturer explaining 1t.
And 1t only goes to show that
1t doesn't always work, whether
you buy it by the bottle with
fancy labels or ladle 1t up the
old-fashioned way out of the
bucket.
The Rams also have received
a lot of free advice about how
to play the game from column
lists, writer's, fans and palm
lists. Washington's little debate
whether George Izo shoud re-
place Norman Snead at quar-
terback-and why did McPeak
let Galen Hall go-is nothing
compared to Los Angeles fans
stewing over Roman Gabriel,
Terry Baker and Zeke Bratow-
ski. Even Fack Teele, the Rams
publicity director. got into the
act with a bit Of doggerel in
a publicity release. Concern
ing the starting quarterback for
last weeks opener. he wrote:
"Will 1t be Baker2 Or could
it be Brat?
Might Svare pull Roman
out Of his hat?"
One writer shifted at the
Rams horse and buggy" Of
tense. Another scoffed at their
pass-receiving. which netted 1888
yards against the Lions. All
turned thumbs down on a
ground attack that netted only
80 yards. The best that could
be said for 1t was that the
Rams excelled the Packers In
both departments, for the day
at least, and the Packers, who
lost TO the Bears. are the
champions, the Rams the door,
mats.
One item Los Angeles writer's
seem agreed on is that the
ground defense. third worst in
the league last year. has i'm
proved. The Lions gained only
SO yards running, nine more
than the Rams, and needed a
long punt return t58 yards by
Tom Watkins and longer in
Perception return go YARDS TO
get two touchdowns. The Rams
may not be explosive but they're
tough. The Redskins shouldn't
need a psychologist TO explain
that TO them.
