National Football league's
tribe of red men - the Red
skins from Washington, D.C.
But to the faithful fans of the
nation's capital, it does seem
almost that long since their
beloved Braves were a con
tender. The 1962 season does not
appear to be the year of a
major Redskins come back.
This is the sad fact despite a
winter of trading, hole-plugging
and overhauling by coacn
Bill McPeak who is merely
hopeful and not overly opti
mistic. "We should be improved
but we still have a lot of work
to do before we find out how
much," says McPeak.
This is a fair statement. The
Redskins should improve, if
only that it's almost impos
sible for them to be any worse
than they were last year -with
only one victory and a
tie to show in 14 games and
last place finish in the NFL'i
Eastern division.
Hare Good Defensive Line
In a nutshell, this is how
the Tribe shapes up for the
new campaign:
-Good defensive line, with
a major linebacking problem
and too many question marks
in the secondary.
-An improved offense with
greater overall speed thanks
to the addition of halfbacks
Bobby Mitchell and Billy
Barnes, but still no outstand
ing ends.
-An apparent weakness at
fullback, where the 'Skins
have only a brittle Don Bos
seler and Rookie Ron Hatcher
from Michigan State.
-A fair offensive line which
still could use a good tackle,
which must rely on an inex
perienced center in sophomore
Fred Hageman, and which is
anchored mainly around two
fine guards in Vince Promuto
and John Nisby.
-A potentially great but
still unproven quarterback In
Norman Snead, who took his
lumps in last year's rookie
season, plus newcomer Galen
Hall of Penn State who could
be the NFL's sleeper of the
year.
Plugs Hole With Paluck
On defense, McPeak's big
gest headache is the mid
dle linebacking position. He
has shifted defensive end John
Paluck to that spot and will
rely on veteran Gene Cronin
to fill Paluck's shoes up front,
The secondary looks im
proved thanks to safctyman
Bobby Freeman, obtained
from Philadelphia, but it still
is not a solid, experienced
unit and McPeak may try out
a half dozen combinations be
