forward passed hipiself frbm the’ Uni
versity of Chicago to Stanford, to
the University of Maryland, and to
Pittsburgh, Is on the move again—out
in professional football.

Washington Redskins.-'
He will retain his college post with
the Pitt Panthers, which is reported
to carry an annual salary of $12,000^
and serve the eaetem champione in sn
sdvieory capacity. Hia biggeat job
will be to show the Redakine how to

Comdr. George Halae, owner.coach of
the Bears, started perfecting 1(^ years

the Bears use it—le something like a
forest fire—easy to start, but hard to

counter with a aucceaaful defense.
