FOOTBALL WILL

Uncertainty of College Game
Is Decreasing; Teams
Now at Work

Ne wYork, Sept. 1.-THE gray
clouds of uncertainty which have
overhung the Eastern college foot
ball situation for some months are
gradually being dispelled and pres
ent indications forecast close to so
per cent. of the usual number of
gridiron contests during the coming
season. While the scheduling of
games is still under way, in many
cases the autumn card already pre-
sents several specially interesting
matches, with the likelihood others
will be added.

mouth, Navy, Army, Colgate, SYRIA

State, Brown, Washington and JEFF

lumbia gathering about the football
standards there is every reason for
predicting continuance of the game
as would not have been dreamed of
early in the spring.
Lack Thrills at Finish
There will be lacking, of course,
the usual climax to the Eastern play.
owing to the absence of the annual
Army-Navy contests. AS wartime
substitutes. however, the Pennsylva-
nia-Dartmouth. Cornell-Pennsylva-
MIA, Syracuse Colgate, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Syracuse Brown, Pitts
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Cornell-Co
Rutgers and similar con-
tests will serve admirably.
There will not be as many inter-
sectional games as in recent years,
but even in this department of the
seasons schedule a few fixtures will
prevail. Both Pennsylvania and
Cornell will line up against Michigan
and it is barely possible that the
Army will be seen in its annual
match with Notre Dame. This con-
test was arranged last winter but
whe nthe Army announced that all
the Cadet football games were off, its
opponents began to arrange for other
contests to fill their open dates. The
eleventh. hour decision of the Army
TO continue football will make it
difficult for the soldiers to restore
their schedule to it's original form.
Whether Notre Dame can give the
Cadets the date formerly set for this
game at. West Point remains to be
seen. This contest is always one Of
the features of the season and its
continuation, if possible, is earnestly
TO be desired.

ALASKA'S FUR SEAL HERD
 SHOWS RAPID INCREASE

The fur sesl herd in Alaska now numbers close to 100000 animals, and is increasing at the rate of about 35000 a year. The probable income of the government from the herd in the fiscal year ending June 30 next will be upward of S750,OOO, according to Hugh II. Smiht, United States fish com missioner, and it will increase steadily there after It IS the belief of Mir. Smith that the time IS coming when the government will derive 8 net income of a million dollars a year from the herd without any impair ment of 1t.
 In addition, there Is the income from foxes in Alaska, now amounting to about S6O,000 year. From seals and foxes the government is now making two to three times as much as IS appropriated by con gress for the Alaska work of the department of commerce.
 The total number of seals estimated to be in the herd in 1915, when an official count was made, was 363,872 as compared with 294, ,6S7 in 1914. 268,3O5 in 1913, and 2l5,- TBS in 1912. The number in 1916 was 4l7,329.
 In 1912 5,228 pups of the season were branded on the Pribiloff islands, Subse- quent observations made on these branded animals have been productive of valuable information in regard 10 the natural history and growth of seals. Some of these animals were observed in 1913, and in 1914 they were noted in large numbers The number that returned in 1915 was so large, in com parison with the total number of seel5 un- der observation, as to indicate lower nor talty in the first three years of q seais life Dhan had ordinarily been assume"
 The plan of marketing the seslskins in this country, instead of sending them abroad has been marked success accord ing to government experts who point out that reliable market now exists at St. Louis, which is well supported This home market idea was first given definite impulse in 1915. Seal end fox skins are now dressed and dyed in St. Louis, and the annual safe, are attended by many home buyers.
