Saturday designated the former Standford All-American as the starting signal-caller for Sunday's pre-season game with the Cleveland Browns I had hoped that Brodie would play at least half the game against Washington," Albert said, "but those Redskins were a lot tougher than we expected them to be. It was an uphill battle all the way for the 49ers: if I had put Brodie in and he had a pass intercepted or made a mental mistake that cost the ball game, I might have nurt me commence that any rookie needs in this league." Ablert declared he hopes Brodie can go the entire first half against the Browns. "If John can't move the club, we'll get Y. A. Tittle in there," the 49er coach said.

"And Earl Morrall will be ready, too." R. C. Owens, the 6-3. 205-pound rookie from College of Idaho, gets another starting call at flanker back. Owens snagged a touchdown pass against Washington and also caused eyebrow-lifting with his excellent blocking.

Bill Bowman. 215-pounder from William and Mary, steps into the starting fullback position. Bowman was the "afterthought" part of the trade which also found Bill Slits, first-string wingback, coming to the 49ers from Detroit in exchange for John Henry Johnson. Bowman, a candidate for NFL ''Rookie of the Year" honors in 1954. when he especially starred for the Lions in a 48-7 larruping of the 49ers, has been slow rounding into shape, but the San Francisco coaches figure he's ready to go now.

24-15. and the Redskins. 27-20. The Browns lost their pre-season opener to Detroit, 20-10, then bounced back to whip Pittsburgh, 28-13. last Saturday night.

Jim Brown, 220-pound fullback from Syracuse, gained his spurs for Cleveland against Pittsburgh, scoring two touchdowns. He was a teammate of Jim Ridlon, 49er, rookie defensive halfback, on the Syracuse Cotton Bowl team last year. Cleveland has a quarterback problem that Coach Paul Brown had hoped would be solved by obtaining Bobby Garrett, another ex-Stanford Ail-American, trom Green Bay. Thus far. however, the aerial attack has been generated by Tommy O'Connell o( Illinois and John Borton of Ohio State.

A native Oregonian, he was named on the All-City football team in Portland while playing for Jefferson High School. The youngest member of the new grid staff is 25-year-old Jack Peterson who will assume the duties of backfield coach. This will be the first coaching assignment for Peterson, for he went directly into the Air Force after being graduated from Oregon State, receiving his release last June. Peterson played his high school football at Billings. Montana, where he made the Montana All-State team as a halfback.

He received two football letters with the Beavers as a hallback and tailback. In addition to football, Jack is a sprinter in track.
