Sammy Baugh Handicapped By Lame Back
Evanston, Aug. 24. Samuel Baugh of Texas is present and says he's ready for duty but the Washington Redskins will not rely on him against the College All Stars. Coach Dutch Bergman plans to use stand-ins Leroy Zimmerman and Frank Akins if Baugh cannot play, with Baugh to enter at kickoff if the Redskins receive. This lameness stems from a back strain after training in San Diego. The All Stars doubt the extent and will learn tomorrow. Bergman says the team is pacing up to 13 remaining games and will push hard for points early.
