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."

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

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.

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.
