Brown UphoIds
Luyne Tradition
BY MORRIS sIEcEL


IN HIS FIRST FULL season master of the hudde for
the Steeers Ed Brown already has demonstrated the
Pitts aren't missing Bobby Layne too much
Brown has pitched the Steeers into outside contention
In the East just as Lane did several times before his
ing arm went dead last year Off the field Brown with
sderaby less experience proving Coach Buddy Parker
also chose logical successor to Layne in vital
At the post-game happy hours" Brown doesn't come
near duplicating the phenomenal accomplishments Of
Layne the acknowledged master Who except Brendan
Behan or Joe E. Lewis?
But Brown, hand-me-down from the Chicago Bears,
is not to be discounted entirely Operating tight end
from the convvality formation, Brown definitely is
conner.
IT WAS IN THESE circumstances that he was encount-
cred the other evening hours after the Steeer visitation
to c. Stadium He in company with Joe Scudero the
bouncy brat who lifeline for the Redskins several
ago.
Unlike the Steeers' last-mnute over the Redskins
their meeting not at all surprising. They had
football to discuss and what better place is there for
forum Of this nature than a downtown victory station?
Scudero and Brown have more in common than pro
football Their gridron craftsmanship goes back thousands
of first downs all the way to San Francisco. There,
dozen years ago. they teammates Joe Kuharichs
unbeaten united USF team
That outfit graduated dozen or more to the NIL
At time little Nostra counted nine fultime
performers around the league -Four the Redskins
alone-Scuderc Dick Sanfe the late Roy Barni and Red
Stephens.
Four are still gainfully employed. There's Gino Mar
chet at Baltimore Ollie Mason at Detroit Bob ST. Clair
with the 49ers and of course Brown with the seelers ALL
including lightweight Scudero Snewy chaps who
or less mayhem-prone.
WHO WOULDN'T BE after playing for KuharichP"
Brown asked.
you'd better believe it," Scudero tooed "Joe was
the toughest played for He tried of that
stuff in the NF but it didn't work He smart enough
to cut it out"
THAT stuff" according to Brown, barbaric enough
IN oka Than
week end at the Carousel.
There was the time the USFs getting ready for
the opener Kuharch moved the squad away from
the temptations wonderfully sinful San Francisco and
bvouacked his muScemen in what he thought was Seclu
sion at Corning Calif the olive capital Of the world.
Corning must have been an outdoor Turkish BATH AT
Observation-Disclosures mind you-the temperature was at
least 1907 scudero recalled persprng at the mere memory
And came pass Brown skipped one evening
and reported late for the Saturday practice.
This must have made Kuharich unhappy
yeah he was unhappy all right" Brown grunted "AH
he made me do for the entire twohour practice
period and then lead the sprnt at the end And damned
If didn't win the sprint" he laughed
you should've" Scudero chimed in "You warmed up
long enough"
DESPITE HIS UNDERSTANDABLE partially Brown
is not blind to the Seelers chances Of overhauing the
Giants It's y proposition at best with this S4year
old toughie
I we can take the Bears Sunday if the Cards beat the
Giants lick the Giants the last day Of the
season, we'd be in good shape" he said dreamily.
Brown qualified for membership on the Washington
coaching staff with of his final observations He can't
understand how the Redskins have lost seven in
I'VE lucky to beat them, not only Sunday but
both times he said They're better than their record is
Another thing Brown couldn't understand about the Red
skins was Coach Bill McPeakS poSt-game comment that
surprised to the Steelers let John Henry john
son carry the ball "a times
Who'd he think going to give it to when 1t
third and two, Ernie stautnerP" Brown asked ANY time
got who get that yardage like johnson I'll stick
that ball in his stomach matter how old he is"
The not only plays and behaves lot like Layne,
he talks like him, too.
