ALASKASWEEPS
TO BE RESUMED
Dog Derbies Will Be Taken
Up When Conditions
Become Normal.

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 2S.-The wide
flung sweep of the world war in its
relation to sport has penetrated BE-
yond the Arctic circle and the Clas-
sic dog derbies have been abandoned
until the return Of normal times and
conditions. The long-distance sweep
stakes over the snow tnlils of the
Seward Peninsula have been can
celed. according to the plans of the
Nome Kennel Club. Thus the winter
will pass without either the All
Alaska Sweepstakes or the Solomon
Sweepstakes. both formerly big
events on the Alaska sport calendar
Last winter only the Solomon race
was held. The All-AIaska prize
money Of last year. together with
the purses for this years race. will
be given to the Red Cross or some
cral short informal race meets dur
ing the long dark months coming.
Possibly after the war the big races
will be resumed. Then. as in other
years. the eyes of the Arctic sport
ing world will be centered on Nome
every April when the maIamutps
leap at the whips snap and tug at
their sleds over the 412-mile ALL
Alaska trail to Candle and back
Thousands of dollars changed
hands on the races every year.
when Nome was at its height in the
old gold boom days. the All-Alaska
purse amounted to $1,000. Pioneers
say 100000 was wagered on the re-
suit one year. Dog drivers sprang
into the sporting spotlight as a re-
suit of skill and endurance on the
frozen trails of the Far North.
Scotty Allan. Leonard Scppala. John
johnson, Fay Delezene and others
became known far out into the
States by their victories in the big

penaIized Is yards for holding. Fall
ing to gain in three tries, Preston
of Hopkins, tried a drop-kick at the
3O-yard line. The ball went wild OF
the posts by about a yard. This at

ball on the 2c-yard line, and the
Farmers Immediately punted out of
danger. Jones, of Hopkins. caught
the punt and was downed in midfield.
In the second half Johns HOPKINS

He ran along the side lines and just
barely missed an outside play. That
gave Hopkins first down. Line
plunges by Hopkins back field netted
the locals another first down. Pres

Bill" Mcbride, who has written
his name on the calendar of indie
pendent football history in the cir
cles of this vicinity for many years
past was the real hero in yester-
days battle at American League
Ball Park when the Naval Gun Fac
tory eleven won from the unde-
feated Tenth Regiment Marines by
count of IL to 0.
1t was Bill" McBride's sensa-
tonal line plunging in the early
periods that always kept the Ma
val Gunners in the running. while
his sixty-seven yard run a few min
utes before time was called in the
last period was easily the feature
of the game. Georgia Beyers, the
other half back along with LANCER.
and the diminutive McMahan behind
the scrimmage line for the Gunners
managed to register fifteen first
dows to seven of their opponents
Defensively, Capt. Towers of the
Gunners, Deakins. Burns and Dur
rity easily proved superior over the
visiting Devil Hounds" Coach
Deitz's speed merchants could not
get started on the heavy going and
LANCER easily Out-punted Flanders
of the Marines.
In the first quarter. the Marines
started off with considerable gains
around left end. These end runs were
soon stopped by the Navy Yard COM
petent ends, and their tactics were
drawn TO center plunging They plow-
ed up the field until they reached the
1-yard line, and at this point the
Navy Yard combination braced and
the Marine assaults were halteG.

ly kicked, to insure themselves in safe
territory. The Marines could not pen
citrate their opponents line, and soon
the ball was on it's way to the Gum
ners goal.
successful runs by Mcbride and
Beyers brought the pigskin on the
2-yard line. Mcbride plowed through
the Marine line and reached the s.
yard line before being downed. Bey-
ers was then called upon to do the
trick, which he did by a plunge of
right tackle. Mcbride failed to kick
the goal.
In the second quarter both the
elevens varied back and forth
neither team gaining to an extent
OF any chance of a touchdown. In
this quarter the Navy Yard men
were penalized 80 yards, which
hampered their chances to cross the
goal line. In the third period the
Marine combination strengthened,
and by successful rushes by Sholl
and Wilson. the ball was brought
on the 15-yard line. But at this
point. they lacked stamina, and the
pigskin was lost on failure to make
the 1O-yard mark. Both teams kept
the ball in safe territory for the
few minutes that were left before
the quarter ended. The fourth pc
rfod was marked by a sensational
run of Mcbride, who ran 81 yards
for a touchdown. Mcbride made
this run around left end. and had it
not been for the superb interference
of Dyer. who dumped Eissler, who
seemed to have Mcbride tackled. the
score would have shown to a lower
degree. The balance of the period
was marked by repeated forward
passes by the Marine team, in an
effort to pull a victory away from
their opponents.

upon the contemplated disregard OF

nations who sit at the peace con-

No one who has held conversation

Of the question. what Is 10 be rex

nd how it's fundamental principle is,
TO be embodied in the treaties OF
peace When these viws wre listened
to, the President had made TO pub

what the freedom Of the seas should
mean and how il should be embodied
in the treaty.
There is on the other hand no
doubt about the view taken In Great
Britain or OF popular disapproval
there were that view TO be modified in
any important way at the peace con-
ference. Furthermore there Is no
doubt that whatever England says.
France and Japan will cordially ap-
prove and maintain. Both France
and Japan are IN no small measure

for the development OF prosperity.
