Travelling on C.P. R.
 Boats from Skagway
 May Be Permitted

The Maritime Commission has recommended that passengers be allowed to use the facilities of Canadian vessels between Skag- way and other Alaskan ports in reporting favorably on Delegate Bartlett's enabling legislation.
 The bill introduced early in 1947, would permit such transpor- tation until July of this year Chairman Smith, of the Maritime Commission, in approving the mea- sure, states, There is a continued necessity for better passenger ser vice between Skagway and other points in Alaska, which cannot be supplied by United States flag ves- sels in the present circumstances. There appears to be no prospect that under the project interim op- erating contracts, which will ex- pire June 30 1948, United States flag vessels will be able to furnish sufficient passenger service between points in Alaska. The permission granted by the bill will be in effect only until June 30, l948. By that time, it is expected that some permanent plan can be worked out to meet the water transportation problem in Alaska here involved"

Special pispo,eh 10 The s,os

WAKE FOREST, N. c., Sept
16.-Both Wake Forest and George
Washington, which meet here Sat-
urday ct 3 o'clock In the Southern
Conferences opening game, are
well manned with the pass receivers.
The Deacons have q quartet of
glue fingered ends who, their sup
porters are confident. rank with the
best In Dixie or anywhere. John
ReO O'Quinn Is top aerial grabber
for the Deacons and in two seasons
has caught . total Of 81 passes for
some 800 yards and eight touch
downs.
Other outstanding receivers at
Wake Forest are jim Duncan. Ed
Hoey, and Ed Bradley. Until he
was injured in midseason last fall
Duncan made many sparkling
catches, one Of which resulted in q
touchdown and helped the Deacons
upset North Carolina 10 to I. Hoey
bagged many passes and one Of
these figured strongly In the 14-13
upset win over Boston College. Ed
Bradley failed to make a touchdown,
but he caught passes that put the
Deacons in scoring position time
and again.
Halfback Harry Dowda also Is
gifted In the art Of receiving. Dow
da was topped only by O'Quinn as a
receiver last fall and caught no less
than IS aerials for some $50 yards.
He also made a sensational catch
in the Carolina game for Q touch
down.
To oppose this fine array OF pass
catchers, George Washington has
its best corps Of receivers In years.
The two starting ends. Frank Close
and Charley Butler are exception
ally flne catchers. They are sup
ported ably by Henry Bartelloni,
Bill Szanyi, Charles Jones, and Tom
Reilly, all ends. One of the most
versatile men on the squad is Tail
back Dick Rooster, who excels both
as passer and receiver. He prob
ably will be used some at end to
receive and likely will be called
back to do some Of the hurting.
All indications are that Satur-
days game will be a wide-open con-
test with the Deacons pitting their
explosive new T offense against the
Colonials' deceptive single wing
The game will mark the first test

"The Bears are still tough" sale
the Tribes head coach. 'The Giants

the Bears will be ready to roar again
Sunday and we expect to roar right
back at them"
After setting a new record for the
guest-appearance circuit with a
Rotary luncheon in Washington, two
television shows and one radio show
in Baltimore, the Skins head man
was just getting around to detailed
look at Herman Balls scout report
this morning. But he saw the
Giant-Bear clash on television and
got a pretty good idea of what his
men are up against Sunday.
Harry Gilmer had his first work.
out In a month yesterday and
showed he has lost none Of his
passing skill In brief appearance
on the American University field.
But Sammy Baugh was absent, hav-
ing his teeth repaired; Dick Todd
didn't work and Howie Livingston
was absent. Livingston and Gilmer
definitely are out of the Bear game,
and Todd is only the vaguest sort of
probable starter, but even with the
continued manpower shortage Ed
wards expects the Skins to make a
decent showing. ....
Gilmer Happy in Workout.
After this game the Redskins will
have met four of the toughest teams
in the National Leagues Western
division, and II they come through
with no more serious injuries they'll
have as much experience and. will
be as well conditioned as any Wash
ington team that ever faced the
barrier. But Edwards wants a 500
average for the preseason games
and needs this one to get 1t, so the
assistant whip-crackers were plying
their trade with vigor yesterday.
Gilmer was happy about the deci-
sion to let him work out. He made
lanky Bones Taylor, Charley New
man and Harold Crisler stretch for
long passes and was plugging Jim
PEBBLES, Doug Turley and the backs
like a farmer shooting chickens. But
he can't run through signals or make
any sudden stops or turns on his
ailing leg. That might rip the mend
ing muscle. He's only supposed to
timber up, get his eye on the target
and keep his arm loose for the time
being. He may be able to play part
of the opening game with Pitts
burgh, but he probably won't be 100
per cent right until the Giants come
to town October 3.
Edwards isn't worrying about how
to stop the Bears famed backf1eld
of three quarterbacks-Sid Luck
man, Johnny Lujack and Bobby
Layne-and a fullback. He's more
concerned about his own offense,
which has suffered through the abb
sence of gddie Saenz and Todd. The
Skins have scored only 40 points in
their first three games-two less
than they made in their debut
against the Eagles last season, and
