looking to the future. If war condi-

take them a couple of years to re-
gain their status of always being a

Redskins Fare Well
with { Home Dates;
Bears Will Visit
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON.

A non-league game with the
champion Green Bay Packers would
satisfy completely the Redskins
1945 schedule ambitions.
Their representatives arrived home
today from the week-long National
Football League meeting in New
York with everything they went
after. They wanted six home games,
including one with either the Pack
ers or Bears and got them, coming
up with the Bears. An early season
game with Green Bay would COM
plete the picture.
The Skins did all right on their
schedule, which includes home and
home series with the Yankees, New
York. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
in the East and singletons with the
Cards and Bears. Particularly pleas
ing is the New York arrangement.
which gives them a breathing spell
between games with their arch
rivals
Washington goes to New York the
last Sunday in October and the
Giants come here to wind up the
campaign December 9. In l943 and
1914 they played the last two Sun
days of the season and last year
the Tribe wasn't physically up to
it.
Hold Travel to Minimum.
1t is significant that Washington
has no trips outside of its own
Eastern division and can make
every road game a one-day hop.
With even the Baltimore exhibition
games apparently dispensed with,
the club seems to have gone from
one extreme to another.
Transportation also will be the
deciding factor in the selection of
a training camp and RedSkin Off
cials will request ODT officials per
mission to talk it over with them
before making decision.
Completion of the schedule was
held up by the unwillingness of sew
eral teams to tackle the potentially
strong Philadelphia Eagles in early
season games. Greasy Neale's crew
finally wound up with two Western
Opponents-the Cardinals and De-
trait-and Washington for his first
three games.
