If President Truman and party
decide to accept the invitation and
season pass issued yesterday to at
tend National Football League games
this fall, then headaches will begin
for Redskin General Manager Dick
McCann. He's the one who'll worry
about seating the presidential party
and accompanying Secret Service
men.
For the President and party 1t will
be easy enough by erecting special
section on the 5o-yard line, but the
Secret Service men also have to be
scattered around the stands. And
practically all seats, particularly
those within cannon range Of the
50-yard line, are long gone to season
ticket holders.

Bert Bell and Redskin President
George Marshall. It's q custom
begun by Marshall in 1888 and re-

lapse. The President told them he'd
like to see some good football and
would try to attend some Of the
games here this fall.
Afterward Bell and Marshall gave
a luncheon at the Statler Hotel at
which other football matters were
discussed.
