Charlie Justices 51-yard scor-
ing run front punt formation
against the Eagles yesterday in
Philadelphia was entirely unre-
hearsed and pulled off without
his Redskins teammates knowl-
edge.
We've got an understanding
that he can do that If he sees
chance to run," Coach Joe
Kuharich said after the game.
Charlie told me he was looking
for the opportunity and I gave
him my okay. It sure was a
nice run, wasn't it?"
Justice stirred up a bit Of
critical comment by kicking on
third down from his end zone
near the end of the first half.
but Choo-Cchoo said he figured
on making a break for it that
time. The Eagles poured in too
quickly, however, so he kicked.
One. punt was almost blocked
earlier in the game when the
entire middle Of the Philadel-
phia line barged through on
Justice.
Charlie made an S-shaped run
for the touchdown, skirting
around oncoming Tom Scott at
the Redskins left end to break
into the clear. Marv Berschet,
Washington guard, kept waiting
for the sound of the punt, like
others, but when he saw team
mates congergating on the right
side of the field he joined them
to help block for the fleeing
Justice.
It was a real thrill, Justice
seid later. but didn't match the
lift he got on a 43-yard touch
down run against Duke in 1948
after being hit twice behind the
line of scrimmage. That run
brought North Carolina its first
touchdown and broke the game
open, enabling the Tar Heels
to go on to a 900 victory.
Coach Jim Trimble Of the
Eagles can't account for Adrian
Burk's in-and-out performances
this season.
Maybe. Jim commented, "it's
better to have only one quarter
back and not try to alternate
! them"
But Trimble would have been
in serious trouble yesterday with
out Burk to relieve Bobby
Thomason. At one stage. the
Eagles looked SO bad the home
fans booed 'em, and that isn't
good.
Bill Dudley, Virginia's back
field coach, was in Philadelphia
on insurance business and took
in the game. Dudley presum-
ably will return to Charlottesville
next season, but he's open to bet

Don Boil, the big tackle who
got off to a slow start this year

ter. It eluded him and went

In other matters brought up
In the final AAU convention ses-
sion, Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson,
president of the United States
Olympic Committee, told the
convention American athletics
are drifting away from anna
teurism" and he added that
perhaps some of the blame can
be placed on the colleges"
Wilson, a member of the 1912
Olympic team, predicted tough
competition between the United
States and Russia in the 1856
games in Melbourne, Australia.
He said the Russians had bene-
fitted through competition with
the United States and by learn
ing our training methods.
Their teams will far outnum-
ber ours" Wilson said, "but let's
not worry about being outnum-
bered. Let's be sure we keep our
amateurism pure. I'm confident
the Americans will come through
In the pinch"

Summer Tours Explained 10
 Chamber by Guide

Miss Lenore Amerman of Pal mer was guest speaker at the October 6 Chamber of Commerce meeting. Miss Amerman told Chamber members of her work this past summer as guide on valley tours which were conduct ed by the Arctic Alaska Travel Bureau of Anchorage.
 The era of foolish questions about Alaska is past" Miss Amer man told members. The tourist travelling in Alaska today is well versed on it's industry, agricul- ture, and potentials," she said.
 ''The average tourist is around 50 years of age, in the upper mid income bracket and very much interested in Alaska agriculture, recreation, business and inves- ment opportunities, the Matan- uska Valley colonization and work opportunities.
 They also notice many things that do rot seem so aware to us dumping cans along the high Way-lack of paint-lack of cover for farm machines and such.
 Although the valley does not not benefit in a monetary sense, leach tourist spends around S3.50 while in Palmer) we are benefit ing in intangible ways The tour ist is better informed about Alas ka and therefore a better inform ed electorate-the man who will decide Alaska's future. They will take back pictures that tell the story of Alaska and win more friends for us.
 q might suggest" Miss Amer man went on, that this area be advertised as See Alaska, coun- try style and plan for the tourist with square dances-free movies -lectures-and souvenirs - all which could show the charm of the Matanuska Valley"
 Miss Amerman spoke of the need for a low priced souvenir, one in good taste, of good work manship and to sell for "about two bucks" Another suggestion offered by the speaker was some type of identity, perhaps in the form of special pin, that might be given to each tourist to iden- tify him as such, while visiting in the valley.

 Tt would probably be better and safer not to encourage the youngsters to participate in the annual trick or treat" canvass from house to house, this year" Dr. Bailey said. T feel" he said, that it will expose them unnec- essarily to chilling-meeting peo- pie they don't generally come in contact with-and eating foods handled by persons they do not generally come in contact with.
 As a possible substitution it was suggested that small groups of neighborhood children, who frequently play with one another might get together for little part ies. No large-scale parties were recommended.

 M. D. Snodgrass of Palmer, candidate to the house, spoke to the assembly on the acute need for additional agriculture aid in the territory. He gave history of all agriculture aid that has been granted the territory since 1919. Alaska CT loans are of too short duration for safe farm loans, even though they increased to Sl5,- 900 maximum" he stated. "1n the Railbelt, with 80,000 popula ton, we require 60,000 acres in cultivation to produce our food stuff. We have only l2,000 in pro- duction," he pointed out. Tt is time we awaken to our needs and clear land. This should receive serious attention of all voters. he said. He proposed that gen. eral aid, to new settlers as well as old timers, for the land clear. ing program be extended to $5OO,- 900. MT. Snodgrass also stressed the need for an agriculture col, lege here in the Valley. Thirty four of our students have gone Stateside this year, he stated, be cause they cannot get the need ed education here.
