Whelchel Seeks Cure For Redskin Faults As Steelers Loom By Lewis F. Atchison This is-strictly third-hand information, because only the Cardinals and their coaches know what went on in their dressing room between halves of last Monday game with the Redskins, but the following could account for what happened to the Tribe. Co-Coach Phil Handler, or it might have been Buddy Parker, because he was one of those scouting from the press box, walked to the ever-present blackboard. is the defense he announced, drawing circles and on the board. If they come back into the same thing this half we have any trouble with it.

You know what to" Tribal Defenses Faulty. The kickoff went to tjie Cards and six plays later they had the game-clinching touchdown. What happened? Simply that Charley Trippi picked up 43 yards on two well-spaced lateral passes from Pafll Christman, Elmer Augsman got 15 outside end and Pat Harder went the final 14 on what was evidently a trap play. Nothing happened, except the defense failed to click. Individually the Redskins as bad as 38-7 sounds.

Collectively they failed to function consistently. Coach Billick Whelchel is trying to find out why they failed in order to avoid a duplication against a tough, durable Pittsburgh eleven next Monday night. In the first half A1 Demao, Herb Shoener, Badaczewski and Bob Hendren stopped the Cardinals in the for one trap play in which Trippi went 29 yards to set up the first score. In the second half the same group, plus Niemi and Jim Peebles on some plays, helped tighten up the line, but it was in this half that the Cards piled up most of the 265 yards they gained on the ground. During this time they were is, two of their linemen were hitting one RCdskln, and lateral passes the Skins stop.

Either the Tribe guess what was coming or simply have the defense to stop it. It was unfortunate, too, that the usually reliable Dick punting was the poorest ever shown. He was kicking in the fangs of oncoming Cardinal linemen all night. The blocking was poor, but he seemed slow, too, getting the ball away. He was forced to kick deep in his own territory time and again, and had no luck at all.

Trippi returned one punt 18 yards to set up the second touchdown. Two more punts that went out of bounds on the Cardinal 49 and Redskin 37-yard line also opened up scoring avenues for the victors. Trippi Lucky With Kicks. Trippi, on the other hand, kick well either, but was lucky. His high punts were hard to handle, and on at least one occasion the Redskin backs were snoozing.

That was when they let Bill Blackburn ground the ball on the 1-yard line without trying to block him out of the play. But all that was ancient history today as the Tribe busied itself with preparations for Monday game. The loss of Hal Crisler, rangy pass-catching end, who has a lame shoulder, is a blow. Crisler hopes to get back into the line-up by Monday, but the doctor thinks it would be inadvisable. If Joe Tereshinski continues to grab passes the way he did against the Cards, Sammy Baugh and Harry Gilmer may get along nicely without Crisler.

The Skins are working this week at American University, and with no other serious injuries should be in good shape for the Steelers. Party for McKinneys In Alexandria Friday Bones McKinney of the Washington Caps and family will move to East Myrtle street in Alexandria Saturday and to celebrate the occasion Bones will be given a at the Alexandria Arena Friday night.

Hoyas' Mattingly Is Example Of'Local Boy Makes Good' By George Huber Frank success as formation quarterback in his first college game is an especially welcome addition to the boy makes series. Not many athletes from around Washington become sters at local colleges. The best dt them too frequently are lured by out-oftown schools. Mattingly is one local product who made the grade right at the start and prospects are that he will give the Hoyas expert quarterbacking and passing not only for the rest of this season but for two more years as well. He started last Saturday by handling the Hoyas as they upset Holy Cross in their first game under Coach Bob Margarita and will be back under center on Friday night when Georgetown attempts another upset against Maryland at College Park.

Against the Crusaders Mattingly completed eight of 16 passes for 122 acceptable figures against a team of Holy his direction of the team was considered generally good. Mattingly was something of an all-around athlete with lots of natural ability and a good prep school reputation before he entered Georgetown, but his success in college can be credited to hard work by Coach Bob Margarita and his assistants as much as anything else. The kid was a good passer, but he still had much to learn about other things. His ball handling was inept, and he was inclined to become upset when everything work just right. Constant practice polished his ball handling and the coaches straightened him out philosophically.

Coach Margarita was prepared to stick with Mattingly even if he flubbed a few against Holy Cross last Saturday. Mattingly also is some shucks as a baseball had a couple of no-hitters while at Charlotte chances are add to his athletic stature with Coach Joe baseballers next spring. He was bom at Leonardtown, but has spent most of his life in Washington. His family moved back to Southern Mainland about six years ago and first two years in high school were spent at Great Mills High. Only sports there are soccer and softball and Mattingly go for those in a big still carries a scar on his right leg as a memento of his soccer he transferred to Charlotte Hall.

There is participated in baseball, boxing and football, but in college will limit his activities to the grid and diamond. Red Sox Facing Scarborough (Continued From Page C-l.) the ball would be caught, and thereby created a traffic jam. Robinson, halfway to second, was forced to retreat rapidly when he discerned what confusion his blow had fomented. Out of that the Nats got one run, for Sam Mele fouled out, Sam Dente Hied to Stewart to and Jake Early grounded out. Dobson Blows Up.

Oil pinch single, a walk to Eddie Yost and successive singles by Sherry Robertson and Stewart fetched the Nats two runs and shelled Dobson to tfee showers in the eighth with none out. In came Walter Masterson, the exNat, and out went the Nats. Bob Ortiz hit into a double play, producing third run of the inning, and Robinson Hied out. Mele opened the ninth with a single, but Dente chilled hopes of an uprising by drilling a double-play grounder at Shortstop Vem Stephens. A walk to Stephens and Bobby double manufactured first run in the second inning.

Singles by Dobson, Dorn Di Maggio and Ted Williams brought across another run in the third and the Red Sox poured across four runs in the sixth, when Calvert hung around longer than necessary. In that inning the Sox whacked Calvert for five singles and had considerable fun on a rundown play with runners on first and third and one out. A1 Zarilla slapped a grounder to Robertson at second. He closed in on Stephens, trapped between thiro and the plate, and chased him back to third. Much Ado On Base Paths.

pursuit was unsuccessful, for he missed the tag at third base. Stephens headed for home, but Early caught throw and chased him back to third for the kill. While all this nonsense was going on Doerr whisked from first to third and Zarilla wound up on second. Bill Goodman was passed purposely and Birdie Tebbetts singled across two runs. Dobson delivered the fourth run of the inning with a single before Calvert was yanked.

Only bout announced so far by Matchmaker Gabe Menendez for Arena brings back Featherweight Jimmy Cooper, a big attraction here following his upset triumph over Bantamweight Champion Manuel Ortiz, against Charlie Titone. Titone is a 20-year-old Brooklyn-Italian who claims a two-year undefeated record. He shows kayoes over Jimmy Shields and Joe Kay and decisions over Jose Cardenas and Filberto Osario.
