Blue and Gray Had Stronger
Team Than Rivals in
This Section.
BY II. C. BYRD.

Local foot ball teams have had a sue
| cessful year 1t is probable that there
! has been few exceptions when more prof
! liable schedules have been played by the
| several college elevens. Georgetown,
Catholic University, Maryland Agricul-
tural College and Gallaudet all have
something of which they may feel graf
| flied.
Georgetown, as during recent years, had
| by far the best of the elevens. 1t is in
much higher class than either of the
other four, and is really above the class
OF the teams in this section It's eleven,
While possibly not as capable as the one
which represented it last fall. is a COM
bination which has done credit to itself
| and to the institution which it represents.
| 1t has won the south Atlantic cham
| pionship and has scored more points on
the eleven which defeated it than has
| any other school of its size. with the ex-
ception of the athletic institution in
Springfield.
The Blue and Gray has won from every
team in the south, with the exception of
Virginia, by score which indicates that
it is out of its class. And then that
score which Virginia rolled up against
North Carolina yesterday does not make
the margin registered against it by
Georgetown look so small
The Maryland AggieS have had
stronger eleven than in years, and they
have probably had a more successful sea-
son. The team went through its sched-
ule of nine games with only one defeat,
something which has never before been
accomplished by any team representing
the college.
Gallaudet also had stronger combina
ton than it has had in many seasons.
1t made better record than has been at
tanned since back in the days of old foot
bal. The Kendall Green lads, although
they lost three contests, p4ayed a superb
article of foot ball ali year and got away
with Their most coveted contest.
Catholic Univel sitiy had a disastrous
year from one standpoint, and yet when
it is understood that the attempt is just
being made to put foot bail on a solid
ba sis at that school it did not do poorly
by any means. 1t won its big game, de-
feating the most bitter rival on the
schedule. The victory of yesterday great
ly atoned for any other defects there
have been in the seasons play.
Not in a long While have the foot bali
teams representing local institutions, as
a whole, been as successful as during
the season which closed yesterday.

in which they seemed abe to keep from

Word has been received at White horse that the Arctic Chief mine, one of the richest copper properties in the Whitehorse belt will resume operations after being shut down since 1907. The mine paid when copper was cheaper than it is to- day; when transportation was high. CT, and when the ore had to be hauled seven miles in wagons. With a spur built from the railroad to the mine and the much cheaper rates on ore there is no doubt but that the property owned by John Irving of Vancouver will pay well. H. w.

Alaska May Solve the Meat Prob lem Falcon Joslin says: "It is not difficult to foresee a time when the railroads of Alaska will be carrying millions of pounds of reindeer meat to the south coast. thence to be ship ped ill cold storage to the Pacific ports and distributed throughout the nation as a food supply as cheap and incXhaustible as the fish supply which is now just beginning to be developed around the 25.O0O miles of Alaska'S coast"
 Mir. Josln also believes that when the white men take up the herding of reindeer the herds that are now numbered by the thousand will then be numbered by the million, and says that the naked tundras of the Arctic coast will then produce q food supply as abundant as the best ranges of Texas or Montana.
