Using tactics of breaking off the block with a cutback, the Starettes so confused the visiting Frederick lassies, that Rockville's sextet almost scored at will.

Feb. 19 vT)--Last year, the Los Angeles Hams lode to a National Football League divisional title on a dazzling aerial attack, but next semester they're tossing all that on the scrap heap. The Rams will now stress amentals, their new coach, giant Joe Stydahar announced today. The Rams will concentrate on simple bread-and-butter plays. The Rams will feature a running game a la the Chicago Bears and George Halas and Joe Stydahar.

And in the Opinion of Chirk Shaughnessy, Stydahar's ousted predecessor, the Rams will also finish somewhere in the division cellar or environs. Shaughnessy was fired yesterday for causing wiiat club President Dan Reeves called "internal friction" in the organization. The master of intricate T-formation football bade his adieu by remarking: "I can take any high school team in the country and lick Stydahar's Rams." "I realize that my only answer to that is to get results," Stydahar replied today. The 37-year-old jumbo served three years coaching the Ram lino. He is inexperienced as a head mentor.

He is steeped in the tradition of the Chicago Bears. He played four years under Halas and tour times was named an all- league tackle. "The primary principle of Halas' offense is that the running attack must go," Stydahar declared. "I'm not going to give the boys more plays than they can understand or remember." The Rams were one of the pas- singest elevens in the country last season. But when it came to running plays, they seemed to grow roots.

Stydahar has a one year contract with authority to pick his own staff. "I have coacning job wltn Mr. Shsughncssy ran the Rams like a one man uliow. He wouldn't let anybody do anything. I didn't lenrn a thing and I wanted to move but 1 never dreamed it would cud like tills."

Pete Castiglione could come closest to beating him out. Fernandez and George Strickland are added insurance.

Fernandez drove in 128 runs batting .312 for St. Paul and Indianapolis, The only question about Strickland, 24, drafted from Birmingham, is his hitting. Tom brought up from Indianapolis, hit .322 finishing up in the Buccaneer outfiefd last season.
