cliffs a conical rock, the navigator's signport, rose from the deep. Soon the long ice wall of Petowik glacier rose, and beyond, to the eastward, we perceived the waving white of the overland sea of ice which submerges the interior of all Greenland.
 lis kind of coast extends poleward to the lands end. It is the abundant sea life which makes human habita- tion just possible here, though land animals are also important.
 The people of the farthest north are crowded into a natural reserva- tion by the Arctic ice wall of Mel vile Bay in the south and the stu pendous line of cliffs of Humboldt Glacier in the north.
 This coast extends over but three degrees of latitude. but with its many bays and the great lords of Wolsten- holme Sound and Inglefield Gulf the sea line Is drawn out to about four thousand miles.
 Home of the Eskinos.
 Widely scattered in small villages. the northernfnost Eskimo finds here good living. A narrow band of rocky land between the land ice and the sea offers grasses, upon which feed ptar- migan, hare and caribou.
 Numerous cliffs and islands afford
 
 of marine birds that seek the small life of the icy waters. Blue and white fox wander everywhere. Seal walrus narwhal and white whale sport in the summer sun, while the bear, king of the polar wilds, roams over the sea at all times.
 Seeking abundant game, this little tribe of most primitive man does not feel his hopeless isolation.
 The vqnhf dOdt0ed the ipph0rcrG and dangerous rocks in the fog about Cape Athol, then turned eastward to cross Wolstenholme Sound.
 As we neared Table Mountain, which guards North Star Bay, many natives, came out in kayaks to meet us. Some were recognized as old friends. There was Myah. he of many wives; O6bel- iah, who had executed Angodgibsah, styled the villain by Gibson. at Red cIiffe House and Pincoota, husband of the queen, in whose family are to be found the only hybrid children of the tribe. M
 Later Knud Rasmussen, Danish writer living as a native among the people, came aboard With him we got better acquainted during the winter. Our engines were disabled by loose unoversal joint, so we lowered a launch and two .doriss to tow the yacht to a safe anchorage At high tide the ves- sel was grounded a propeller which had been bent was strengthened anI the universal joint put to rights. In the meantime the launch was kept rushing to and fro with Mir. Bradley and the writer as passengers. On shore the harpo0n gun was tried, and around the bay waters we bagged q number of elder duck.

 Would we not place ourselves at ease and stay for a day or two as their husbands would soon return? We were forced to decline their hospital ity, for without the harbor there was too much wind to keep the yacht waiting.
 Eskimos have no system of saluta- ton except greeting smile or part ing look of regret. We got both at the same time as we stepped into the launch and shouted goodby.

PUNTS AND PASSES.

Dartmouth has only two veterans on
its line. Brushee. at center. is the great
est loss.
II Knpatrick's knee doesn't bother him
he will be a great help to the Blue this
fail.
Michigan has adopted rule that not
more than 81 shall be charged TO witness
any football game.
Houser. OF Carlisle, who was a good
player before the war, is practicing the
art OF drop kicking.
West Virginia proved a harder game
for Penn than many expected. The Vir-
ginians have pretty husky team.
Not one OF the big Five" has shown
form worth talking about as yet, but
Yale appears best at this writing.
The name Of O'Flaherty doesn't seem
TO go right in a Harvard livery He's a
good one. too. Should be at Holy Gross
Swarthmore misses Eberle greatly.
The defeat by F. and NJ Is TO be at
tributed greatly TO his absence from the
team.
Rishor. the little quarter back, is hav-
ing a hard time holding his place al
Dartmouth; in fact, It looks as II he
would lose out
Princeton finds II q difficult task e
find a quarter back the equal Of Dillon
Dawson and Chrystie are showing W
very well for new men.
II able coaching counts, there is NJ
reason why Pennsylvania should no.
turn out a winner. Penn has the mos
aggressive staff IN years.
Taking everything into consideration
the weakest part Of PENIS play IS TIT
handling of punts. No one seems to b.
able to catch the oval with any degre'
OF certainty.

Hopes were held out that he would finally

has recovered fully from his recent III
ness, and with him In the game George

better an-round boxer than Phlladel-

Ketchell, who win fight Johnson at Col
ma next Saturday afternoon, say no. and
use the statement as an argument that
Ketchel can win. They say Johnson
Is no faster on his feet or more scien-
ti1c with his hands than O'Brien, but IS
the latter's superior physically and in de-
fensive tactics. Taking O'Brlen as a

Fast Work in O'Brien Bout.
Before O'Bden met Ketchem. It was gen
orally conceded that the former was the
fastest boxer in the ring-fully as fast as
/ J. j. Corbett-and IN a class By himself
as ring general. yet Keteheu had speed
enough 70 follow O'Brien closely enough
TO land Knockout blows. Ketchell rushed
necessarily. taking all the blows that
O'Brien could deliver. and by means Of a
whirlwind attack so bewildered the
crafty Quaker that his clever defensive
tactics had the resistance Of tissue paper.
Ketchell was the first pugilist 70 put
| O'Brien away The latter. up 20 that
| time, had taken part in more than 160
mills. including among his opponents
/ Maher, Choynski. Walcott, Fitzsim-
mons, Burns, Mccoy. Ryan, and others,
but he had never been on the verge Of a
| knockout
Yet Ketchell. lacking hrst-class ring
/ knowledge. managed TO get him in over
/ whelming fashion II IS true that
O'Brien. thirty-One years old, was on the
down grade at the time. but IL is also
I true that IN a six-round bout in Phila-
delphia last May Johnson was unable 10

KetcheII n Great Hitter.

son has never met hitter Ike Ketchell
before, and that his gameness has never
been tested They admit that his defen-
siye work may prove a puzzle TO tie
Michigan Lion at first. but say the latter
will finally poke through and administer
a few terrific punches that viii make the
champion stop.
