REGARDING SUSPENSION
OF ASSESSMENT WORK
ON MINING CLAIMS

Editor Journal:
Sometime ago the congress passed
n joint resolution providing that the
law requiring 800 worth OF work
annually to be performed on mining
claims be suspended for the year
1919. but that the suspension should
not apply TO more than five claims
In the name OF any one person or
company. This limitation brought
about many complications, and since
then the congress has passed another
Joint resolution, which the president
has now signed. providing for this
suspension Of the law regarding as
sessment work without any limit as to
the number OF claims This suspen-
sion OF course applies only to the
year 1919 and It is expressly provid-
ed THAT every claimant OF any such
mining claim in order to obtain the
benefits OF this resolution shall file
or cause to be filed In the Office
where the location Office or certifi-
cate Is recorded on or before Decem-
Der 81. 1919, a notice OF his desire to
hold said mining claim under this
resolution"
am advised by the Bureau OF
Mines that It is held this applies TO
oil shale claims as well AS other
claims.

VIRGINIA ALUMNI ASK
new COACHING SYSTEM
University Men Discuss Inaugural
tion of Football Changes At
Big Meeting.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. Dec. Z.
Considerable discussion over pro-
posed changes in the football coach
ng system here at a meeting of the
alumni students yesterday is thought
10 be the forerunner of radical de-
larture from the present method Of
putting out Virginia football teams.
Some time ago the formation of a
"" Club. composed OF former varsity
thletes. proposed the adoption of a
Professional coaching system. such as
in vogue at the leading institu-
ions in the country.
During the past two years Virginia
llumni have been dissatisfied with
the alumni system. 1t was decided
o stop all discussion until after the
resent football season. At the
anderbilt game the "" Club took
- the proposition.
Last night the alumni students. rep
'esented by McLane Tilton. discussed
RELY the advocacy of a professional
iystem. 1t is thought that the ath-
'tic authorities at Virginia will be
'revailed upon to adopt more mod
rn methods Of football coaching.
The disadvantages of the present
NIrgi MA system were pointed out at
last nights gathering. While no
drastic resolutions were offered. il is
said Nhat Virginia athletic officials
viii consider the intimated policy.

INDEPENDENTS SET
FOR BATTLE TODAY

Arguments over today's football
game at Union Park between the Rex
Athletic Club and the Navy Yard are
going to continue well into next
week. il the talk heard from rival
factions is to be taken as a criterion.
Most of the "conversach". is bein &
backed by that which goes in this
land as legal tender, which is more
to the point and speaks volumes and
in a louder tone than any human
voice.
All OF which simply goes to show
that the Rex Athletics c}up~players
as well as the Navy Yard players
will have their work cut out for them
today when at y. m Referee Bill
Cusack. the Titian-haired George
town athlete, toots his whistle call
ing the rival factions to battle.
Standing in the enclosure TO take
charge of festivities or hostilities-
whichever you prefer-win be John

There will be a band. The Sea

any other time at which noise is de-
sired.
Admiral A. w. Grant, commsndant
of the Navy Yard, who confesses 20
have played his last football game
at the age of forty-eight, will watch
his lads climb upon the frames of
the Rex players.
other celebrities will be in at
tendance The game has attracted
unusual attention. The Navy lari
has won six games without being
scored on and has rolled up go points
and more. The ReXmen have won
eight games. tied one. and lost one
They have scored more than 20O
points to but seven for opponents.
Add to this the impost OF the
wagers of w. s. S, Roachdale tickets
car tickets. Christmas stamps, pocket
knives and pawn tickets and some
idea can be CLEANED of the willing
ness of the athletes to come off vic
torious.
The time, accordingsto the authori.
ties, is 3 p. m.-whatever that means

points as far North as Philadelphia
and South from WILLIAMSBURG. The
gathering was thoroughly representa-
tive as collegiate. scholastic, tAde-
pendent, Y. NJ. c. A. Army and NV,
men were in attendance.
No such gathering has ever been
seen in Washington for basketbaif
and the assembly was somewhat dis
appointed at the start. when II was
announced that DIR. Raycroft woulo
not be present.
Two hours discussion revealed a
variance OF opinion in regard to inter
probation. IL was obvious that mapy
of the coaches and officials failed to
properly visualize the games when
the rules were Interpreted.
Following the meeting, it was suw-
Eested that the officials. coaches. and
players be invited to attend another
meeting at which two teams could
play. IL was pointed out that a
type" game OF this sort would give
officials. players. and coaches q better
insight than meeting. and that the
rules could be checked up after the
play and discussed at length.
Henry~F Sturdy has promised TO
get in touch with DIR. Raycroft at
once. and TO report upon the possfbil-
ity Of staging such a game here at an
early date
Revisions in the rules were tlken
up and discussed at length. Addtsonal
notes were taken from the corrections
issued by the rules committee
through II. F. Sturdy.
II was apparent that the meeting
was not wholly satisfactory and that
something more should be done in
making clear the various phases OF
points in dispute.
Considerable difficulty arose over
the question OF two opposing PLAYERS
entering the free throw lane .-hf1s
the toss was being made. The ouee-
tion OF personal fouls in the matter
OF blocking. charging. and Interfering
was discussed.
