CHICAGO, June 22.-Providing
conflict with the last scheduled base
ball game Of the season here can
be eliminated, the Washington Red
skins pro football team will open its
l943 championship season in Griffith
Stadium against the New York
Giants on Sunday, October 3, accord
ing to the National League schedule
finally agreed upon by the club
owners as they wound up their
emergency meeting here.
Schedule-making proved tougher
than usual with President George
Marshall of the championship Red
skins insisting on six home games.
He finally gained his point.
Two Baltimore Exhibitions.
RedSkin followers will be able to
get a line on the clubs ability, eX-
pected to be more than fair COM
pared to that of some of the other
War-Wrecked teams, in two exhibit
ton tits scheduled in Baltimore be-
fore the loop schedule begins. The
Skins meet the Green Bay Packers
there on September and the Chi
cago Bears on September II. They
also will meet the Bears in a league
game here or November q and will
90 to Milwaukee for a loop tilt
against the Packers on October II.
Another exhibition game was
added today to the Redskin sched-
ule. The champs will play the Chi
Cago Cardinals at Buffalo September
26, following two games at Balti-
more
The scheduled opening game here
on october 3 conflicts with base
ball game between the Nationals and
Detroit. The baseball game, of
course, has priority at Griffith Sta
dium. If Washington is out of the
pennant race by that time the game
probably could be moved up how
ever.

Redskins meet New York, Brook

Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh -Phila-
delphia in six home games, while
on the road they play Green Bay,
