 About this time the news was announced that the Peterson was landing with soldiers from Fort Seward and the next bout was held up so that the soldiers could see their man perform. During the in terim some challenges began flying when Jimmy Golding of Juneau challenged any one in Alaska to fight him at 112 pounds, and Mon- tague of the 310 issued challenge to anyone at 115.
 The Army and Navy met and the Nav ywent down with flags fly ing in the next go when Steady De Armond of Fort Seward met Nilsson of the sub chaser 310, De Armond, who is a tough bird, wasted no time Adding around, but after a minute and six seconds of fighting reached clear down to the canvas after a haymaker that he swung on Neilson's jaw. Nelson called it a day when his head hit Bertha going off When Do Armond challenged anyone ip Alaska short ly afterwards at 150 pounds there were no takers, he did not get a call.

 The cloud of gloom that had been hanging over the navy corner like a smoke screen lifted, the sun start ed to shine and this was good old world when in the fifth Elliot of the Navy put the +. O. on Hig- ley of Treadwell. These two men who were billed as being the main event of the evening, were all of that and then some. They were evenly matched and it was no ones fight until the very finish. Elliot was a rugged man, fast on his feet and clever, and used good ring gen eralship. Higley was also clever and bod a good punch. Higley broke even on the first round, the second was Elliott's and the third was Higleys. In this round Higley had his man in distress several times and might have won if he had followed up his advantage. The fourth was an even break. Both men came up strong in the fifth; Higley stung ais man several times in the first part of the round with right swing, but Elliott started connecting with the target and had Higley in distress. The third time that Higley went down he was clearly knocked out. The gobs car ried their man out on their shoul- ders.
 Almost seven hundred people, all men with the exception of a very few women were present. There was no one asked for their money back at the door. The bouts were all good clean matches and up to high standard. There was no brotherly love stuff and all were ou to win It was some smoker.

INVESTIGATE SCHOOL WORK.
Investigators From State University
Make Survey Of Two Courses.

|
DR.. H. A. Green and DR.. E. E
Lindsay, OF the department of edu-
cation of the state university who
have been here for two weeks MAX
Ing q survey Of the work in English
and mathematics at the high school
have completed their work. Their re-
port, which will be issued later, will
include reports on the Individual
work Of pupils as we'll as a general
survey on class work.
The. survey is the result Of the re-.
quest OF the high school that the
work be investigated, for the rur-
pose Of furnishing guides for i'm
provement wherever possible.
Before leaving, the investigators
said that the survey had been the
most thorough they had yet been
given an opportunity to make in any
school. Special examinations were
held for the purpose and covered the
ability to apply arithmetic, algebra
and geometry in the mathematics
tests. In the English department the
tests were designed to show the pup
lis ability to write composition. and
their knowledge Of grammar and the
classics.
Some of the test papers are to be
examined here and some at the de-
partment Of education. The results
will be given out. They will furnish a
basis for recommendations for i'm
provements in the high school
courses.
