CALIFORNIA PLANNING
 BIG ATHLETIC STADIUM

BERKELEY, Cal, Nov 30-The University of California will have l concrete athletic stadium rivaling that of Harvard and Yale if pres ent plans of the college authorities are carried out. according to R. w.. Cortelyou, assistant graduate man ager. The stadium would cost about S600000, CortelyOu said, part of which will be paid for out of the Henry Crowell bequest to the uni versity, which will be available soon. The students intend to secure a large portion of the cost through the ad vance sales of tickets. The demands for tickets to the annual "big game" between the University of California and Stanford University November 20, indicated, it was said, that the stadium must seat more than 60,000 the seating capacity of the Hayvatd statium.

AMERICAN WOME.N'S HOCKEY TEAM WELL
 LIKED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Nov. 30-The American Women's Hockey team has been cor dially received in England and news papers have devoted columns to it's members, not because of their smart ness in play, but because of what writers call their sportswomanship and pleasing personalities. When they arrived they frankly stated that they had come to learn more of the game from the experienced British CTS and they proved good losers in their early matches.
 Much has been written about the American costumes The English girls wear their playing skirts well above the knees and were surprised to see the American girls come into the field with skirts far below the knees The short skirts undoubtedly gave the Britishers an advantage in the early games. The skirts, smart sweaters and permanent waves, the latter admitted by some of the Am orleans, came in for more comment from the newspapers than the de- tails of the play.
 In tKe first games the Americans showed to disadvantage in nursing the ball in which the English girls are so proficient, but they have -ried to improve their game in that respect.

AIR ROUTE FROM EDMONTON TO OIL.
 FIELDS PLANNED
Planes to Span 900 Mile Gap Between Fort Norman and
 The Alberta Capital.

EDMONTON, Alta, Nov. 30.-Th establishment of an air route from Edmonton to the oil fields of FoIt Norman on the Mackenzie River $ the latest talked of development in connection with the pressing trans portation problem existing as the result of the Fort Norman point being so far removed from the busi- ness centers of Alberta.
 Edmonton aviators are entering into negotiations for such a service with a zest indicating that as little time as possible will be wasted in the preliminary arrangements.
 The proposal calls for the estab- ,shment of landing stages at inter- vals along the route and the trans portation, in the first instance, be fore flying, gasoline and other sup plies essential for the successful op- eration of flying machines. Tho distance to Fort Norman from here is about 900 miles as the crow flies. Three or four days at the most would be sufficient to accomplish the distance when once a relay sec- vice of planes is established.

AGED INDIAN WOMAN
 BURNS SELF IN CABIN

Preferring death to senility, the ancient mother of Gambler Bay Jim," tyee of Gambler bay, last week set fire to her cabin and cremated herself in the smoldering ruins of what had been her home for nearly century, according to word re- ceived by the Juneau Empire. For several years she is said to have brooded over increasing infirmity.
 Gambler Bay Jim Himself is more than sixty years of age and he too has lived all his life at Gambler Bay, traditional hunting grounds of his family For many years he keenly re- sented the white mans intrusion and was even considered a dangerous man by the interlopers. Of recent years, however, he has quieted down and apparently is reconciled to the cannery operation and other activi- ties of the whites.
 He is quite well fixed in worldly goods, owning a fine gasboat, a young wife-tseveral of his older ones having died much fishing tackle and other wealth
