CoIoniaIs' Tilt Listed
On 1erps' Improved
1948 Grid Slate

Local and nearby college football
teams are improving their schedules
slightly for next year after frequent
ly taking what they could get in the
first two seasons of postwar football.
Maryland, which continued the grid
sport during the war and which had
the best program with 10 games this
year, probably will have 10 games
again, although the complete sched-
ule isn't definite.
Added to the Terrapin list are
George Washington and Miami. 1t
seems definite that Duquesne will
be dropped, while again on the list
are Delaware, Duke, Virginia Tech
and Vanderbilt. The ether four
teams will come from among South
Carolina, Richmond. West Virginia
North Carolina and North Carolina
State, all of whom were played this
season.
Georgetown will play nine games
next year instead of eight. The
only newcomer definitely announced
is Denver, while st. Louis and Wake
Forest are dropped. A definite i'm
provement to the schedule, as far as
Washington sports fans are con-
cerned, is that Boston College and
Tulsa will be played here. Others
likely returning to the G. U. pro-
gram are Fordham, G. W.. N. Y. U
and villanova, with two others yet
to be signed.
George Washington again plans a
nine-game schedule. Newcomers on
the list are Maryland and Kansas,
with Kings Point dropped. Other
holdovers from this season are
Miami, Virginia, Georgetown and
". P. l., with the other two teams
to be selected from among v. M. l.,
Washington and Lee and Wayne, all
on this years list.
Catholic us schedule still Is In
the making. The Cardinals plan to
stay in the same class of competi-
ton as met this year, although they
may come up with seven games in
stead of six.

Prestige gained by a 40-6 romI

tory over Northwestern. a majority
of the writer's boosted the Big Nine
champions to the No. spot, dis
possessing the Fighting Irish.
Michigan drew 140 first place votes
and Notre Dame 81 as a record

the balloting. Nine placed Southern
Methodist in first tplace, six liked
Penn State best and the other three
put Southern California on top
One first went to North Carolina
which placed 18th.
s. NJ. U. Moves Up to Third
Southern Methodist moved into
third place, although the race for
the lead remained strictly a two
team proposition between Michigan
and Notre Dame. The wolverines
piled up 2,341 points to 2,261 for the
Irish, who had led for three previous
weeks.
Although Southern Methodist had
to go hard to down Arkansas, 14-6,
the Mustangs advanced when Penn
dropped from third to sixth after
its TT tie with Army, marring Its
perfect record Idle Southern Cal
ifornia, which faces U. c. L. A. In
the big Pacific Coast Conference
title game Saturday, also moved up
peg to fourth in the standings.
Penn State, unimpressive in its 20-7
decision over Navy, advanced from
eighth to fifth. The Lions close
out their season Saturday against
Pittsburgh.
Seventh place, behind Penn, went
to Texas, a 200 victor over Texas
Christian, and Alabama's Crimson
Tide surged all the way from 14th
to 9th by knocking off previously
unbeaten and united Georgia Tech.
Tech tumbled from 9Th to 10th on
the loss.

 STORAGE LOCKERS;
 MEAT SOLD AT COST

L. A. Sturm. of the Alaska Meat Company, is planning new deal icr meat buyers which should be helpful in deflating the family food bill Negotiations for the rental of the basement floor of the AB Hall for cold storage lockers have reached the point of a spec ial election, called for January 20
 Sturm hopes through the cleo ton to secure a five year lease on the space He will then sell meat to the public at actual cost to hinseh, with a charge of six cents a pound for cutting, and a yearly locker rental of from SIS to S22. The concern should be operating within two months after the election.
 Customers will be apie jo pur- chase meat at Seattle prices. Ii the election is successful, Sturm has tentative plans for a trip to Montana and other livestock pro- ducing states, to ascertain Wheth- CT or not meat can be purchased and shipped to Juneau at a lower price than is currently charged by Seattle dealers. If so, he intends to pass the saving on to his cus- toners.
 He estimates that the basement of the city-owned AB Hall will accommodate 12 storage units, each unit containing 30 individual com partments measuring six cubic feet with a capacity for 240 pounds ot meat or other foods. He says that it is a new kind of locker, regu- lated at zero temperatures, and operating in room of normal temperature.
 This idea has never been tried before on such a scale" Sturm said, but I feel that something has got to be done. Meat prices are away out of line, and this IS the only solution I can see for providing meat to the public at a reasonable price and still remain in business"
