OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Jekyll and Hyde .- . ;: 'ifT.T "IT! - "- " Skins Have Defense, No Offense (Edilors: This is the flrtt In a series on the 1936 prospects of National Football League teams). By BOB SERLING United Press. Sports Writer WASHINGTON IUP It's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde team the Washington Redskins are fielding id the National Football League mis year. "Dr. Jekyll" is the defense it's as good as there is in the Nation' al Football League. "Mr. Hyde" is the offense it's thin and already badly-crippled with pro-season injuries. It was Washington's spotty and erratic attack which probably kept coach Joe Kuliarich from a divi sion title last season. At that, the Redskins surprised ' the football world by rolling up an 8-4 record and finishing second to the Cleve land Browns in the NFL's East ern Conference. Kuharich has tried to souu ud his offense for 1936. He got a crack blocking guard from the De troit Liorts in Dick Stanfcl, and he figured to bolster Washington's biggest 1953 weakness offensive ends with such returning serv icemen as Paul Dekker and Ken tucky's Steve Meilinger. But disaster hit the Redskins after their opening pre-season con quest of the Los Angeles Rams. Halfback Vic Janowicz was seri ously hurt in an automobile acci dent and may be through as a football player. A few hours after the Janowicz injur)', another auto accident sent the Redskins' num ber two quarterback, Al Dorow to the hospital and the ex-Mich!-1 gam State star the hero ot me Rams' game is out indefinitely. With little Eddie LeBaron nurs ing an early leg injury, the quar terback situation is clouded with uncertainty. Kuharich desper ately trying to groom Don Bailey of Penn State, but the rookie needs more seasoning than an Armv stew. The loss of Janowicz was a bru- tal blow to Washington's hopes. To replace this bread-and-butter vet eran, Kuharich may have to shift workhorse Leo Elter from fullback and hope that rookie Dick James, a speedster from Oregon, may also take up some of the slack, On the optimistic side, they have the same rugged defensive platoon that starred last year led by tac kles Volney Peters and J. D. Kim- mel, ends Gene Brito and Chet Ostrowski, and backs Torgy Tor geson, Ralph Felton. Chuck Dra zenovich and Art Decarlo a trade acquisition from Pittsburgh. Offensively, the Redskins are under-manned, particularly at the halfback posts. At fullback. Dale Atkeson looked good in pre-seuson tests and big Leon Heath of Okla homa is trying a comeback after several years in the Army. Flashy Joe Scudero may be shifted from defensive safety to an offensive halfback post if the Tribes coaches can develop a replace ment for him from a crop of rook ies headed by Michigan Stale's Jerry Planutis. Given a reasonably healthy squad during the campaign, this gang of rough and spirited Braves could go au the way. Indians Counting Vets Out CLEVELAND W General Manager Hank Greenberg has counted third baseman Al Rosen and pitcher Bob Feller out of the Cleveland Indians' planr, for next season. At a luncheon speech Monday Greenberg said he would offer Feller a non-playing job with the Tribe . before this season ends, Rosen, Hank declared, might "be better off playing somewhere else" because he has "completely lost his confidence. "Confidence is an important factor, and I'm afraid Rosen has reached the point where he can't play here anymore," Greenberg said. Rosen, who will be 32 next March and is in his eighth season with Cleveland, is batting only .269 this season, has hit 14 home runs and has driven in 55 runs. That compared with his 1953 peak of a .336 average, 43 homers and 145 RBI a performance that earned him unanimous selection as the league's most valuable player. Feller, nearing 38, made his first start in more than four months Saturday and pitched his only complete game this season, losing a seven-hitter to Boston 5-3. He has two other losses to show for 40 additional innings of work, including one start in April and another in May. Monday night Rosen indicated he might retire from baseball. "I've had a lot of injuries this summer," he said. "My neck and back have bothered me most of the time. Maybe I'm at that-age when you become injury prone. "At any rate, I plan to have a complete physical examination next month. I wanted to do this in as high class a manner as pos sible, so this whole thing is cer tainly embarrassing for me. When I make up my mind and arrive at a decision, there won't be any reconsidering. "No matter how Hank feels, Cleveland is my town. I have a family, friends and a home here, and I plan to stay. Perhaps I'm finished in baseball, but in some other things I'm just getting start ed here. I'm just sorry this thing had to come up this way." Feller's reaction' to Greenberg's offer of another job was that he would "have a talk with myself" before seeing Greenberg and that he wanted no "manufactured work." "It would have to be something where I had a job to do," Feller said. "In the fall I plan to go to insurance school at Hartford, Conn. My other decisions may be made before that time." iM iMnwiMMWftftMwrt art matt iiiiatifft ran mm i n iiiiwiMiMMwwittLI Sports Briefs Ruling Cleared By Frick CINCINNATI itf Declaring there has been some misunder standing about the rule, President Warren C. Giles asserted Tuesday that any postponed games in the National League which might af fect a pennant decision must be plpyed off at the end of the regu lar season. Giles said that prior to a change two years ago, the league rules provided that only games post poned or tied on the last day of the season would have to be played off if they might affect the league championship. "That rule was changed two years ago, Giles said, "and ap parently is not completely under stood, judging by the number of inquiries we ve received lately. "Our rule now states that all postponed or tied games that re main unplayed after the closing day of the season which, if Dlaved. could affect the winning of the cnampionship, are required to be played off." The rule also provides that such PHILADELPHIA (UP) Serv ices will be held Thursday for Jimmy Rumscy; veteran basket ball player and official and for mer Chicago White Sox baseball scout who died Sunday at his home in Manayunk alter a brief illness.

Maple Leafs Place 4 On IL All-Star Team MONTREAL (UP)-The league, "elder Bob Wilson and third base- champion Toronto Maple Leafs, who -grabbed the two most impor tant individual awards, also placed four players on the Inter national League all-star team an nounced today. The Leafs named to the "dream team" by the league baseball writers association were second baseman Mike Goliat, righthander Lynn Lovenguth, catcher Carl Sa watski and outfielder Archie Wilson. Goliat, the former Philadelphia Phillie. was previously named the league's "most valuable player" and Lovenguth, who was the loop's No. 1 hurlcr with a 23-7 record and a 2:57 era, was cho sen the "most valuable pitcher."

He went the route in flatten ing Milwaukee and then scowled his way to a triumph over Cin cinnati. "And" mourned Redleg Manag er Birdie Tebbcts, "he was better than I've ever seen him." 10 WINS When Sal, obtained from Cleve land in May, first put on the once hated Dodger uniform he an nounced that he'd shoot for 10 vic tories this season. Right now his record is 11-4 and he has lifted the ball club by. announcing that he should win two or three more down the last few yards of the stretch. It's another dramatic chapter in the saga of a man who came up the hard way and. once again, re fused to admit defeat. It took him eight years to reach the major leagues and T3 years to " arrive. The first time, after one medi ocre season in 1045, he jumped to the Mexican League in the exo dus of that era. For four years he was banned from baseball and when he finally was readmitted in 1950 and he showed up at the New York Giant camp, Manager Leo Durocher took one look and ob served: "He looks like the barber in the end chair." But before the season ended. the "Barber" was proving it a fit ting nickname as he shaved the oDDosition with the accent on Brooklyn. He won 18 games and then, in that miracle year or vsi, captured a league-leading 23 games. Three years later, alter conquering back trouble, he led the Giants to another pennant with a 14-6 season. "WASHED UP" But in July of 1955, Sal, who had beaten Brooklyn 23 times against 11 defeats, was consid crcd "washed up" and sold to Cleveland. There he received lit tle work and it was a sensation this spring when he was sent along to Brooklyn. But the "Barber", proved he was far from done. He has beaten Cincinnati three times. Milwaukee and Chicago each twice and one time victims are St. Louis. Phila delphia. Pittsburgh and his for mer Giants. Only four times has he been beaten. bawling average!"

L Little To Drop Grid Job NEW YORK m Lou Little of Columbia, one of the few coaches in this area of high pressure foot ball who didn't have to win, in dicated today that he was open to job offers after he retires Dec. 4, his 65th birthday. 'But." added the scholarly pi lot, who guided Lion football teams since 1930, "I haven't re ceived any yet. 1 don t want to be idle. So I m almost certain to go into soma sort of work. I doubt very much if I'll take another football coach ing job. However, let's wait and see." Little announced his retirement come his 65th birthday yesterday. The Columbia athletic department has a mandatory retirement-at-65 rule. "It should be no surprise." said Little. "The retirement rule has been effect for seven years. I made the announcement at this time merely because I didn't want anyone to think I was quitting or that something was wrong with me. "In fact, I don't feel almost 65. I work as hard as ever with the squad and I'm still as fast as ever showing those inexperienced line men how to pull out of the lint on their blocking assignments." Speculation immediately arosa that Paul Governali. one of his prized pupils and now coach at San Diego College, had the inside track on his job. After he was graduated, Governali spent six years as Little's assistant. While Little pooh-poohed the Idea of taking another college coaching job, many of his friends think he'd like to try his luck at a school that plays big-time foot ball to provo he can win when given the material. The University of North Caro lina has had two seasons in which its football teams failed to win a game. That happened in 1888 and in 1891. Worcl Expected From Net Star NEW YORK (UP) Dick Savitt. former Wimbledon champion re garded by many experts as Amer ica's best hope for Davis Cup ten nis play this year, was expected to give cup. officials a final deci sion today on whether he'U ba able to join the team.
