Redskin Salaries
Depend on Films
BY MORRIS SIEGEL

FOR LAST YEARS Redskins 1t matters not now If
they lost but how they played the game. Their
1868 salaries depend It,
During the next several weeks, Bill McPeak, who
them play live will watch them again on film He has
fixed ideas already about who did and did not cut the
mustard but the films will tell him positively how good
and bad his troops
After viewing the rushes McPeak and Co. will grade
each player and mail him copy Of his grades along with
his contract Some of the boys will be disappointed in the
pay offered them for IA week ends Of activity in 1853 but
they shouldn't blame McPeak.
He didn't originate the system Of relying on films
The Chinese did years ago. when they suggested pic
ture worth thousand words. In the case Of pro
football players, it also may be worth thousand bucks
EVERY PLAYER EXCEPT TWO will be graded in
various categores Doug Elmore who did most of the
Redskins punng and George Izo who did least OF the
quarterbacng won't be watched by McPeak and his
staff Of censors
Elmore punted so poorly that McPeak doesn't want
to remind him of it, Izo didn't letter until the last game
Of the season. However each will get token raise OF
about $500 For morale purposes suppose explained
McPeak who coachgeneral manager, is George Mar
shall's paymaster as well as his drillmaster
Bill doesn't expect argument out OF either, but
YOU never can te he warned after the 1851 80
per cent Of the squad demanded raises All Of them told
me what great year they had All know is we won only
one game that year, so how good we're they"
BOBBY MTCHEILs salary won't be cut nobody will
for that matter but the films undoubtedly will intercept
the TANKER backs anticipated pitch for pay hike.
The Redskins didn't get poral-toportal performances
out Of Mitchell They want to know why When the play
involved him. nobody put out more When Mitchell was
not involved nobody exerted himself less not the
bench-ridden Izo, who watching, at least.
Next Mitchell will have to pattern every
time Just can't afford to have him stand there and do
nothing" McPeak said when Bobby goes downfied he
takes at least two defenders with him. If he just stands
the line when it isn't his play he hurts US.
I'VE want him to be like Tommy Mcdonald He flies
downfeld every play regardless of whether the ball is
going to be thrown to him or not When Mitchell does
nothing enables the defense to switch another man to
one of our pass receivers"
THIS WEEK WILL BE devoted to grading the defensive
talent. Checkponts include how the behemoth reacts
when play is at him away from him. how he
starts his charge his ability to diagnose play his pursuit
and how he rushes the pasSer Routine stuff to be
Less routine will be the coaches critical viewing of
how effectively their bull elephants employed gesture
known to the trade as forearm technique" This is
little exercise wherein the forearm delivered to the
chest and neck"
It's all quite legal according to McPeak, and also
quite necessary This type Of mayhem is designed to turn
the opposing nneman's head. "Once you've turned his
head" McPeak continued sadistcaly you've got him.
You can then his whole body Bob Tonen does it
best for US"
This weeks horror movies begin at II daily in
the Redskins Building.
