Apparently convinced that the
Redskins are begged down in mid
season because they were in train
ing two months before opening
their regular league schedule,
George Marshall, president Of the
club. will press for a later start
of the National Football League
campaign next year, he said today.
He made a similar proposal at the
league meeting last January and
was voted down.
In Philadelphia, Commissioner
Bert Bell was reported to be
sounding out club owners about
starting and ending the season at
least a week later in 1851, but
Marshall may offer a more dras-
TIC plan. He sees no reason why
the regular schedule can't run
until a week before Christmas,
with the championship playof be-
ing held on New Years eve. @.'

he pointed out. 1.-The newspapers
have no sports to write about dur
ing the holiday season. except the
bowl games, and we'd get our
share of space. And people would
have their Christmas shopping
and other things out of the way.
Some Of these club owners are
afraid Of snow and cold weather" ;"
he continued, but we usually
have some good weather. about
that time Of the year and we can
get the snow and cold in Novem-
ber as well as later"
Marshall said he would ask the
league to consider a schedule
change, and would ask that only
Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day, when they fell on Sundays,
be eliminated as possible closing
dates.
Most Of Squad Will Return.
Still convinced that the Red
skins have good enough material
to be a championship contender
Marshall thinks the squad may
have rushed its training too fast
for its own good. He would pre-
fer to spend next September play
ing the exhibition games, with
plenty of rest in between. The
later start also would give every
team a chance to get its rockies
back from the Chicago All-Star
game and use them in their first
exhibition.
