To GUARD
AGAINST PASS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-The
University Of Pennsylvania football
team, fs cling the second half Of its
football schedule, must meet four
teams of major caliber in succession
starting next Saturday afternoon
on Franklin Field. with the Naval
Academy.
Following the Middies, Penn State
will make its annual visit to
Franklin Field. A week later Penn
sylvania will invade New York for
the first time since 1921 to meet
Columbia on Baker Field. The
Cornell game Is the last OF the
quartet and will be played as here
tofors, on Thanksgiving Day on
Franklin Field.
Three Of the four teams,
State. Columbia and Cornell,
were defeated last season. The
Navy, the only team to defeat
PennsyIvania last season, won
6 to 0. Judging by reports,
every one of the four teams Is
greatly strengthened over last
season which would indicate
busy afternoons for Capt. John
Utz and his teammates.
Ths MiddIes have been a thorn IN
tho side of Pennsylvania for the
past two seasons. In 1927 two for
ward passes resulted in touchdowns
and a 12-to-6 defeat. Last year
another aerial succeeded in causing
disaster.
This year Lou Young and his
aides will have a team on the
field drilled in every phase OF pass
defense in an effort to thwsrt the
best plans Of Bill Ingram, the Navy
coach. That Navy has a team as
strong II not stronger than last
year Is clearly displayed in Its
record to date. This time q year
ago the Middies were smartins
under three defeats but this year
they have an entirly different story

UNTHINKING USE OF AIR
 MAIL IS DISCOURAGED

WASHINGT0N-"0f the many services of the Post Office Depart ment, the air mail is one of the most useful; at the same time it is one of the most expensive, the air mail rate being 15O per cent higher than ordinary first-class postal rate," said Walter F. Brown, Post master General, in an address to the Advertising Club here.
 Tt follows, therefore, said the Postmaster General, that the air mail should be used only when speed is of such importance as to justify the increased cost, and then only between points which are ac- tualIy served by air transportation. The department does not recom- mend the promiscuous use of the air mail service and does not ap- prove ballyhoo campaigns designed to influence the public to make all mailing by plane.
 "Our reasons are two: First pro- miscuous use of the air mail service is not good business for the mail CT; second, it is not good business
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-11-07

for the department. We estimate that about S5 percent of the mat ter carried by mail does not require extraordinary speed.
 The use of the air mail service for important business eommunica tions, banking items, securities in process of delivery by seller to buyer and exceptional personal and social communications. is adyanta geous between points situated ca air mail routes which are so far apart that mail train cannot tray el from one to the other between the close of business of one day and the opening of business on the next.
 Tt should be borne in mind that mail carried on night trains is usu- ally worked en route-that is to say, it is separated for distribution at the end of the run; whereas air mail, owing to the physical limita- tions as they exist today, at the end of the route must be taken to the local post office and there worked or sorted for distribution.
 When the air mail service was instituted by the Post Office De- partment governmental encourage
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-11-07

ment of civil aeronautics was as much the underlying motive as rapid transportation of mails. The contribution which the Post Office Department has made to conner cial flying in the United States can not be underestimated. It would seem that aviation at this time re- quires no further stimulation. But is the Governments task ended? We think not. We believe that while obsolesenee is such an im- portant element in aviation and until the people of the United States become more thoroughly con- yinced of the safety and utility of air transportation for themselves, it is the duty of the Government to continue it's support.
 My own experience in the air convinees me that adequate emer- gency landing fields, lights, radio, reliable weather information, to- gether with modern planes and ex- pert pilots, under government in spection and supervision, will make flying as safe as any other means of rapid transit.
 My own judgment is that the Federal Government should con-
