WASHINGTON (UPD-Charities from coast to coast have netted approximately $2 million from games in which the Washington Redskins have participated under sponsorship of newspapers and civic organizations. uicker, 1 oo I I i CHAEUIE'S PARADE of LIQUOR VALUES and the two linebackers, center Wayne Harris, 190, and guard Gerald Gardner, 187, are exceptionally agile and they really go to the ball on defense.

The end corps, led by Steve Butler, Billy Tranum, Leslie Letsin-ger and James Saxton, all fall in the 185 to 195-pound range and they're quick too. Texas, of course, is quick for its size in the line and plays much the same style of ball that Arkansas does. What's more, it has Jr a I 1 By LOU MAYSEL The University of Texas, which has probably boasted an edge in speed over every team it's played so far, finally runs into one Saturday night at Little Rock, that can show the Ixmghorns something on speed work. It's the Arkansas Razorbacks, who probably have the Southwest Conferences fastest team and more important, its quickest. The two go hand in hand to some degree but stopwatch clock ings mean little in football without quickness and it's here where the Razorbacks excel.

Arkansas' quickness is probably accentuated by a lightweight line, which has to be able to move to survive, and survive it has. Expected to be overpowered by TCU two weeks ago at Fayetteville, on a soft field, the Razor-backs' 198-pound line actually carried the day. Quickness, spurred to its maximum by desire and cultured by the coaching of Frank Broyles' staff. was the answer and when the Razorbacks went after a ball- MARLIN EPP Arkansas' quick and 3.59 WELLINGTON Defending Champ TCU Fighting for Survival Bottled in Bond, 8 years old FOOTA .3.09 Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 86 proof JOHN BEGG 5.59 Scotch Whiskey, 86.8 proof DUTCH KLINE Fupil vs. teacher theme (See Looking LOOKING By JOE carrier, they looked like an angry Likewise the Williams twins.

This, coupled with a great wide threat that TCU didn't have and couldn't have used against Arkansas because of the weather if it had, could be a telling point but even at that the Razorbacks will probably give Texas a rough time. The psychological edge for the Saturday 8 p. m. game at Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium, will belong to the Razorbacks, al though they re a seven-point un derdog.

Undefeated in four eames like Texas, the Razorbacks should be charged high because this is eyed as the make-or-break game for mem since they have a 2-0 jump on the rest of the CWS. Texas might not respond to the warn ings it been given about Arkansas because it's incentive can't be as high as last week's peak against Oklahoma. The Longhorns wound up their preparation for the game, which has an assured sellout of near 40,000, with their Thursday polishing drill and they're to leave on the 130-minute flight to Little Rock at 2 p. m. Friday.

The 37-man travelling squad will arrive in time for an afternoon familiarization drill and is expected to meet agreeable weather.

We don't have their kind of speed. They gang tackle, they're quick and they react to the situation," he said. This tells you that the Razor-back line, even if temporarily overwhelmed, can bounce back quickly and hold the ball-carrier to a menial gain. Offensively, the same quickness pays off if used right. Broyles apparently is on the right path now after first fearing the Arkansas lightness.

Last year he thought that the Razorbacks would have to double-team their way to gains and used a slow-developing attack with a lot of reverses. After a drab start, he saw that the Razorback line quickness would go best on quick-breaking plays before the defense has time to fight off the initial charge and it's on this style of play that Ar- kansas has patterned its eight- game winning streak, which car ries back four games into last year. Arkansas speed has been more EX-WEAKLINGS LA ROSA o99 tootball brawl at House Park. Myers is now the Travis head coach and Kline is calling the shots for McCallum. "He'd know more about that other team than they knew themselves," Myers recalled recently, looking back upon the scouting reports Kline compiled at Waco.

"He has the sharpest eye and sees more stuff than anyone I've ever seen. I know he knows what we're (Travis) going to do and know how to defense us." Waco was a recognized state power when Kline and Myers were familiar names to Tiger fans. In 1945, Waco under Harry Stiteler tied Highland Park of Dallas, 7-7, for the state championship. Tlit game was played before 47,000 fans at the Cotton Bowl, Portuguese Rose Wine FORT WORTH (UPD- Texas Chrisian's frustrated Frogs, staggering on the brink of championship oblivion after only the first round of their Southwest Conference title defense, entrust their hopes Saturday to an obscure quarterback well acquainted with frustration. TCU entertains the surprising Texas Aggies here in a game it must win if it is to stay within challenging distance of the survivor of tomorrow night's clash of the unbeaten Texas' and Arkansas at Little Rock.

The football patterns of the team and the player Jackie Sledge have much in common. Basically, both have failed to live up to the glowing press previews of their prowess. TCU started the season loaded with talented veterans of a cham pionship club that carried TCU into the Cotton Bowl for the third time in four years. It was con ceded that the Frogs might bow to national champion Louisiana State, but nobody else was expect ed to even extend the power- laden outfit, at least until late in the season. Sledge matriculated at TCU with a flowery schoolboy reputa tion built up as engineer of an explosive New London, High School team and a "most valuable player" award in the state's annual all-star prep game.

He had a fine freshman year and his varsity career was anticipated with much optimism by both coaches and fans. TCU's first outing of the sea son provided a clue of what was to come. A sophomore-led Kansas team pushed TCU's brawny line around with ease and the TCU offense misfired repeatedly before chugging to a disappointing 14-7 victory. Against LSU, the defense perked up and made the nation's No. 1 team extend itself to get 10 points, but the TCU attack still stalled within sight of the goal.

And, last week, the offense clicked for two quick touchdowns and then faltered while the defense jelled just enough to fend off Texas Tech, 1 14-8. Sledge's parallel pattern started in 1957 when, as a sophomore, he was too slow to keep pace with the rest of the backs, and his passing aim went sour and his defensive play was mediocre at the best. He played only 83 minutes. It was so disheartening.

Sledge rea-sninea nimseu last season and sat out his sophomore year. He showed little signs of im-i provement in spring and fall drills, but this week with regular quarterback Larry Dawson side-: lined with an injury, Sledge moved in and suddenly started: hitting with his long passes in practice. Coach Abe Martin, who has tried everything else in an effort to put some firepower into his floundering favorites, decided to give Sledge a chance to prove himself. "It just might be what he and the team both need," Martin said. "He's an excellent play selector; and the best ball handler among all our quarterbacks.

Maybe those are the ingredients we've been lacking." At any rate, Sledge and the Frogs partners in frustration-get what may be their last big chance tomorrow in a game overshadowed by the Texas-Arkansas struggle. i In other action, Southern Methodist and Rice open their league play against each other at Hous-i ton and Baylor hosts member-; elect Texas Tech at Baylor.

One of Myers' teammates that season was end Froggy Williams, later to earn All-America recognition at Rice. Waco made it to the quarterfinals the next season before being derailed by Lufkin.

Myers assumed the Travis coaching duties in 1958 and one of the Rebels' two victories was a 26-6 verdict over Kline-coached McCallum. Still Myers said in admiration, "He had us defensed better than any club we faced all year." The second meeting between the two appears an even match. "I feel they're as good as we are," Myers says. "I just hope we can get there the quickest with the mostest." The Rangers have been hurt by injuries in the line this season, but should be able to slip past St. Joe's.

These will be the result of five games pitting 10 unbeatens, highlighted by Texas' game with Arkansas, Southern California's battle with Washington and Air Force's encounter with Oregon. In addition, eighth-ranked Syracuse meets Holy Cross and un-scored upon Yale travels to Cornell. Texas, third ranked and moving in highgear after last week's 19-12 victory over Oklahoma, will send an attack headed by halfbacks Jack Collins and Rene Ramirez against a defense as tough as its own.

"AUSTIN'S HOME OWNED STORE FOR MEN" publicized than this quickness but possibly in seeing this quickness, lKxple are prompted to talk about speed, Even so, Broyles has probably the league's fastest starting back-field but he's also right when he claims, "Everybody talks about our speed but we don't have as much where it counts as people say we do.

We don't have many 9.8 men above the third team Broyles probably has only one true sprinter on his first two units He's Lance Alworth. the 180- pound sophomore right halfback from Brookhaven, Miss. Alworth last year had a 9.6 clocking in the 100 with an aid ing wind in limited track work with the frosh. The rest of the fast backs with track potential like Billy Kyser, Tommy Bach and Bruce Fullerton are all back below the alternate squad. However, there's nothing wrong with the speed of Jim Mooty, the 1 1 2-pound starting left halfback.

He may not be able to crack 10- flat in the 100 but he comes close and he's a tricky stepper to boot alternate halfbacks, have superior speed judged in terms of football. The fullback, Curtis Cox, and his understudies Joe Paul Alberty and Paul Dudley, all are explo- sive runners with the latter two actually more the halfback type than line pounders, and they do nothing to slow down the quick- striking potential of the back-field. James Monroe, the 188-pound quarterback starter, is a strong jbut slowish runner; however, his understudy, George McKinney, can move well In the line, the main attribute is quickness. The two Arkansas tackles are good examnles. Marlin Epp, the 208-pound left tackle, who really blossomed last year with the Texas game, is quick for his size and plays very aggressively.

His opposite num ber, Jim Hollander, a 212-pound- er, is much the same type as Epp and he showed his great de- sire by cutting down from 235 to 195 last year so that he could improve his agility. The middle of the line, espe- jcially the first one, has great quickness too. Left guard Biily jLuplow, 208, was quick enough to have been a high school fullback 49ers to surprise even their most diehard fans in the smallest city in the NFL. What's the reason for Green Bay's return to power after the 15 years since Don Hutson was startling the football world with! his fantastic pass receiving? The answer has to be' Vince Lombardi, who was talked into leaving the New York Giants by a five-year contract as head coach and general manager. Lombardi, noted as an offensive genius as an assistant coach in New York, has aided the Packers i by instilling in them a fierce de- sire to win and by making shrewd deals.

It was a case of "Put out or get out" when the 45-year-old former Fordham star greeted his squad in training. Then followed a long period of installing his intricate defense and offensive pattern. Vince, happy and smiling one moment and flashing his fiery! temperament the next, fooled everyone by stressing defense. He figured that was his top problem. "We have to stop the other clubs from scoring before we can win," he explained.

"We'll pick up our offense after getting our defense straightened out." To bolster the defense, Lombardi picked up veteran Em Tun- nell from the Giants. Then he managed to grab Bill Quinlan in a trade with Cleveland. A few more deals and Lombardi's team was molded. Defensive-minded, the Packers won four of six pre-season exhibition games. And loyal fans in this city of some 50,000 began wondering.

(AP)-The Green Bay Packers, weaklings of the National Football League in recent years, are on the march1 again. And during a so-called re building period under a new coach who didn't know whether he wanted the job.

For the moment, I have come to lhe conclusion that an ex-coach knows less about picking games than the boy who delivers the morning paper. I have rationalized last week's mistakes wi'h the view that I selected on tne basis of what should have been instead of what was to be.
