It's passed along upon its way
To history, foot ball's heaven;
Tut long may Il live In memory

The season OF 1911.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The foot ball
season OF 1911 is now a thing OF history
50 far as the so-cailed championship
games are concerned. In many respects
IL has been a most successful season. and
there are many matters for congratula-
ton; likewise there are few for regret.
Summarizing, there have been a few sea-
sons productive OF as many interesting
features. and probably none in the annals
% foot ball that has held the interest OF
The public in general as has the one just
slosed.
Every big game turned up a large
crowd-in May instances a record-break-
.ng crowd-aEd there were more big
names than ever before. Whatever the
reason or reasons for this fact Il ~
plainly indicative Of steady growth OF
the gridlron game into popular favor.
Root bail IS more distinctly an American
game than any other that VIC have, des-
9lte the prominence OF base ball The
trouble with foot ball--and the regret
$ that II can only be played during the
cold months OF the year. and then only
about once a week by each team. Taken
strictly as spectacle. Il IS such a game
IS would draw forth capacity crowds. but
never was there a man who could play
DOT ball every day and live.
The game this year was more strictly
foot ball for the spectator" than ever
before. The limitations placed on the
forward pass and on Interference, as well
as the cutting up OF the game into four
periods, proved Of great benefit TO the
game as a whole this season, as the
coaches and men had been given a full
year TO adapt themselves 10 the new con
ditions. 10 is likely that next season will
witness a further advance along the line
OF scientific foot bali.
One thing to be noted with pleasure Is
the rise OF the smaller colleges In the foot
ball world. Brown. by virtue OF It's VIC
tory over Yale the previous year ana It's
defeat OF Pennsylvania in the early sea
son, proved one OF the greatest drawing
cards of the year in the games against
Harvard and Yale, although the Provi-
denee aggregation proved the under-dog
in both these contests. Pennsylvania
State rushed into the limelight by thrasht
lng both Cornell and Pennsylvania.
Georgetown sprung It's big surprise by
tieing the Army, conquerors OF Yale. Le-
high entered the dark horse" class by
uelng Princeton.
Carlisle, always In the spotlight. pre-
sented a wonderful eleven this year,
which went through an unbroken string
Of victories. experiencing probably the
most remarkable career of any Indian
eleven In history.
The resumption of athletic relations be-
tween Harvard and Princeton was an
other Of the memorable events OF the
season.

Hockey Has Again
Come Into It's Own

MONTREAL, Que, Nov. 25-Hockey
has again come into it's own. Practice
is now in full swing in all the Kinks.
When the teams take the ice to start OFT
what promises to be the greatest of all
hockey seasons numerous changes will
be noticed in the makeup OF the teams.
Starting with the famous Ottawa team,
champions of the world, one change at
least will be seen in the lineup. They
will be minus the services of Bruce Rid
path, their sterling right-wing man, who
is struggling between life aud death in
st. Michaers hospital, Toronto, as the
result of being struck by an automobile.
Even IL Ridpath RECEIVERS he viii never
be able to play hockey again. This is to
be greatly regretted, as Ridpath was
true sportsman.

down a similar Job for Princeton. Il was
thirty years before. on November "a.
1851, when the fathers OF these youths
fought fer the Tiger and Bulldog respec-
lively in one Of the most memorable bat
even, neither side being able to score,
which was due in large measure TO the
work Of Camp and Baker for their re-
spective teams. Each Of the younger
generation a week ago showed himself to
be "a chip off the old block" and the
jolly thing about it was that their veneer
able "daddies' were up there in the

This year has its crop OF heroes just as
have It's predecessors. but It Is TO be
lanented that some Of those who deserve
the most credit do not stand out so prom.
inently as more fortunate ones. Prob
ably the great cause for this IL the prao.
tIee OF 'smothering'' the star player OF
team, the entire defense OF the opposl-
ton concentrating its efforts towards
stopping him. A singularly striking IN
stance Of this was seen IN the Harvard
Princeton game, In that contest, the
dashing, smashing. unstoppable ground
gamer, Wendell OF Harvard, showed no
more conspieuously than his running
mates, Huntington and Campbell. Yet.
who will deny that Wendell Is q more
valuable carrier of the ball than these
two put together, good men az they aref
The reason Wendell failed TO cut loose his
usual dazzling runs was because tho
Princotonlans had their eye on him. They
laid Tor him and hardly ever did he
get n chance to 90 far on a play, Yet
this "smothering process did not by any
means lessen Wendells value 70 his team
ia the game. Most decidedly It did not.

fathers were great before them. The

work of each prevented score by the
others team the contest winding up in
a nothing-nothing tie. The Camp and
Baker of the last season were great,
even as were their fathers. Both were
good punters and both starred equally as
much on defense as on offense. Both
were also halfbaeks, just as were their

 The Iditarod district added Sl0O2, 59O64 to the total gold yield of Alaska last year, according to the reterns ot the United States assay office at the be- ginning of the year, and, therefore, the figures may be taken as authoritative The production this year should be seT- eral times that amount, and the cost ot operating the mines should be reduced considerably because transportation facilities promise to be better and gen eral supplies cheaper. Iditarod district this year will probably lead all Alaska in the production of gold. The appar- ent failure of the Kuskokwim country to develop anything like continuous paystreak is cause for general disap- pointmeut, and although the outlook for that section is not particularly bright just now, it does not fellow that extensive pay ground will not be found perhaps in the immediate fature. That region is too large, and much too little work has been done there to condemn it during the first few months of its aG- istence as mining district.-IdharGt Nugget.
