FEW TEAMS LETT RUNNING FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
by The Associated Press

{ Dy The ASSOc1aCeQ FTeSS
 1 The snow is just starting
 folks, but for most of the ra-
 tion's college football teams il 1 ended almost before it began. l Perhaps eight teams still
 were in the running for the my
 thical national championship today with the season only one-third completed. This is the earliest mass exodus from
 contention in years.
 [ For the likes oc Army and UCLA, disappoin .cnant came
 early. Both were rated potent
 ial champions before the sea- son started. But now they're in ! the back seat. UCLA still can
 win the Pacific Coast confer ence and play in the Rose Bowl
 of course, but it is eliminated , from consideration for the na- tional crown because of it's de- feat by Maryland two weeks
 ago.
 The big boy on the Coast right now is Washington. which has won four games without defeat, including a stunning TO conquest over Southern Cali 'fornio, the club that was sup
 posed to give UCLA a battle
 for the title, last Saturday. Washington is a team that
 had a miserable 2-8 record last
 year and was completely over
 looked in preseason estimates
 of the PCC. But the Huskies
 still must meet UCLA on Nov.
 12. That one could settle the Rose Bowl question.
 As for the army, the Cadets had to swallow a particularly bitter pill when they dropped a 26-2 decision to Michigan.
 Never before in the five meet
 ings between the two schools
 had the Wolverines whipped the Cadets.
 Furthermore, there was a strong suspicion that if Army was invited to bowl game, it would follow Navy's lead and accept. The West Point brass had high hopes for this team. The most distressing fact, from the Army viewpoint, is that it did everything to help Michi- gan by furnbling nine times Now the Cadets will have to ] wait until the Navy game on Nov. 26 if they hope to salvage any prestige. Until then they
 have no opponent of consequen ce on their schedule.
 Michigan came out of the ' game with it's reputation as shiny as a neW-cut diamond Benny Osslterman's team is the ! one to beat in the Big 10. But the Wolverines still have mur
 derous solid-Big 10 schedule a- head of them, including Ohio State in the final game of the
 season.
 Besides Washington and ! Michl7an, the teams still in the running for the national
 crown include Navy, Notre | Dame, Oklahoma. Maryland, Duke and Georgia Tech. ! Navy and Notre Dame share one distinction. They are the

VISITOR SPEAKS AT CHAMBER LUNCHEON
Page Three

CHAMBER LUNCHEON Franklin D. Ferris, terri torial representative of United Air Lines, was visitor at the Friday luncheon of the Cham Der of Commerce and spoke briefly regarding transporta- ton.
 He explained his firm car ried more Alaskan passengers out of Seattle on connecting routes than amy other airlines. He praised the operation ot Alaska Coastal Airlines, stat ing it was the first opportun- ity he had had to view their amphibious operation. Regard ing Sitka's hope for direct transportation to Seattle, he said he would obtain what in- formation and advice he could on this in the states.
 Les Yiarw gave his final re- port on the special edition of the Daily Sitka Sentinel con taining the open letter to con- gressional committees. Re- cepits totaled $252.50, expens- es: $100 to the newspaper; $25 each to KIFW and KSEW; mis cellaneous expenses, $10.28; total expense $16O.25; balance on hand $77.25 in cash and $500 still due from adver- tisers.
 Myrth Sarvela reported an inquiry from the Tacoma Ma rine Supply %. asking a sum mary of the work of the Nor thern Fishing Vessel Owners Assn. to date on the fight to get a ban on the taking of her ring for reduction purposes in this area. They intend to bring the question before the Taco nra Chamber of Commerce for action. Also she read a letter from the Halibut Producers Coop, stating their officials will talk to F&WS personnel and also attend the Seattle hearings. Mrs. Sarvela also said she had a most coopera- tive letter from MT. McKer- nan, director of the F&WS in the territory.
 Howard Bradshaw, Orville Paxton and John Cushing were named to committee to aid chief of police Burton Dou cette in planning a parade for Alaska Day. Harry Lang and his retail trade cOmmlttee were asked to plan a special trade promotion for the day, also.
 Charles Kidd explained why the commissary issue had been presented to the mem bers of the house committee on territories asd insular afr fairs during their recent visit Mrs. Bands stated she intend ed to send the committee a brief on freight rates to all southeastern Alaska ports. Charles Kidd. Earl Shennett and Warren Christianson were named to a committee to draft brief covering the position of the Chamber on the commis s.ary question.

Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HoLBERToN
Agricultural Extension Service
University Of Delaware

Meats and Poultry: Easter hams
will head many shopping lists this
week. Not only is ham traditional
at Easter, but it is available at the
lowest prices in years. Whole ham
is more economical than a large
half ham, if the family is large.
When a half-ham is selected for
a small family, the shank end will
be found to yield more meat per
dollar.
Many Delaware stores also fea-
tuFe leg of lamb, also a favorite
meat for Easter dinner. Legs
usually run from five to six lbs.
and up. Special prices offered in
most groceries make this another
good choice.
With abundant pork supplies and
unusually low prices, crown roast
of pork is a third possibility for
Ia popular meat for Easter. The
crown roast is made by tying the
rib sections of pork lOins together
to form a circle. 1t also is easy
to prepare since it is roasted
much like pork lOin. The center
can be filled with rice, dressing
or a whole cauliflOwer, and bacon
strips can be wrapped around the
nib bone ends to make the roast
especially attractive.
Prices still are relatively low
on turkeys, making them the best
buy in poultry this week.
Eggs: The current price spread
between large and medium eggs is
not as great as the difference is
weight. Large eggs therefore are
a better buy.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables:
Fresh asparagus now is arriving
in large quantities from California
and prices are down considerably.
Broccoli prices are slightly lower,
while caulifiOwer remains quite
high. Celery and lettuce continue
to be offered at moderate prices.
Cabbage, carrots, endive, escarOle,
turnip greens, kale and spinach
all are nutritious low-priced Veget-
ables. New crop Texas onions are
available at reasonable prices.
Mushrooms, which are produced in
nearby northern Delaware and
southeastern Pennsylvania, are a.
vailable in Delaware at bargain
prices.
Citrus is the leading value in
fresh fruits this week. Keep in
mind that from now until the end
of the season in early summer,
the keeping quality Of Florida
citrus is poor, and supplies should
not be purchased far in advance.
Louisiana strawberries have just
begun to arrive in large volume in
local markets and prices now are
