been footed of its only possession gold" and now it is the desolate waste of yore." The poor shrimp little he knows about Gods country he IS probably one of those stiffs who has never been beyond the limits of the city in which he exists and spends his Sundays on the Common. He states in his editor- ial that any attempt to resuscitate Alaska would be as hopeless as pouring gold dollars into the shaft of its abandoned gold mines. He had a beautiful dream of Fair banks, the population of which; he says, fifteen years ago was IS, 900 inhabitants, he is good on figures but he handles facts rather care lessly. He ought to knock his brains out against a rock and pray to God for a new set. He also states the natural resources of Alaska are a joke.' If that pin head editor would walk into one of our canneries and see one days catch of fish, he would wilt in his tracks, he would see more of the finny tribe in that same day than he would see if he hung around T wharf for two months.
 He knows nothing about the s4. ooo,o 900 in gold that was taken out of the Panama alone in 1913.
 He calls our towns "dacadent and rotten" and that the 'loose living and consequent disease are beyond description" Thank God the imaginary disease does not effect the brain, which seems to be the defucalty with the Bean City editor. That guy is hollering up the wrong stump. Forgive him Lord; he knows not what he says.

Now that President Wilson has !, clared himself and demands ;..e opening of Alaska we see a faint glimmer of hope in the dis tance. God knows Alaska is greatly in need of transportation faoi ties. we know transportation is the key to the promised land.

CLEAR WEATHER IS
PROMISED FOR GAME
Michigan Practices Today in
Preparation for Clash With
the Crimson.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 3o.-Clear
weather Is promised for tomorrow's big
clash between Harvard and Michigan,
though a heavy mist shrouds the stad-
ium today, and the outlook is for every
seat in the immense structure to be oc-
cupied when the first whistle sounds at
2:45 o'clock.
This afternoon the Michigan squad will
practice in the stadium behind closed
gates. Coach Yost says that all he needs
to learn Is the way the air currents
cross the field after punts have risen
to the top Of the walls. However, the
Wolverines will engage in light signal
drill as we'll as kicking.
Harvards preparations have been Con-
cluded. Eddie Mahan will be relied upon
to do whatever dropkicking Is needed,
while Francke will share the punting
with Mahan. 1t has not yet been decided
whether or not Stan Pennock, the all
American guard, will be in the lineup
at the start, but he is expected to play
at least part Of the game.
The Crimson lineup follows: Coolidge
and Hardwick, ends Trumbull and Par
sons, tackles; Weston or Pennock and
Wilmington, guards Wallace, center /;
Logan, quarterback: Mahan and Brad-
lee, halfbacks; Francke, fullback.
Michigan will line up as follows: Ben
ton and Staatz, ends; Riemann and
Cochran, tackles; Watson and McHale,
guards: Raynsford, center; tIughitt,
Quarterback Maulbetsch and Lyons,
haIfbacks; Splawn, fufiback.

PROBABLE LINEUP.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Today's Western-Eastern champion
ship battle is considered the decisive
contest to see which team will keep
out of the cellar position. according to
many Of the high school followers. Both
schools will be out in force. and there
will also be many Tech and Central men
watching the efforts Of both teams in
order to be perfectly safeguarded
against having either team spring an
upset in the later battles.
Western appears to have the bulge
on the Fasteners in weight and expert
No sort of work as that displayed
against Business is going to trim East

lightest in the history of scholastic
football 1t possesses the necessary dash
and fight calculated to turn Western on

Eastern, let It be known. is hard up
for players. Injuries during the past
week have robbed the team of Reds
Ledoux, one of its strongest linemen.
Ledoux may be shot into the contest
as last resort, although late reports
said he was suffering from water on the
knee.
Western has been working harder
than ever since the defeat by Business,
and seems to have rounded into a fair
aggregation at present. The tendency
10 slow up this season has been one OF
the greatest faults in the work Of the
Red and White.
It is pointed out that Western will
have a heavier rush line than Eastern
in today's battle. the Red and White
forwards being something over eighteen
pounds heavier to the man, If weights
as given out by Coach Kimble, of East
ern, are to be credited.
Dutch" Peck, Edwin Giblin, Charles
Matthews, Thomas Hume, and Torn
Peyton,. counted among the strongest
players on the Western squad, are re-
ported to be eligible for the last two
games of the series. With these players
in the line-up at the start Of the cam
paign the Red and White would have
had an excellent chance to make the
running.
Peck's work with that Of Giblin last
year was exceptionally good. Besides
being an accurate forward passer. Peck
