 Football is only worth while as an intercollegiate game when watual regard and sportsmanship prcYail.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
 FOR PRODUCTION
 OF FUEL SUPPLY
Analysis Shows High Grade Deposit on Marshall Claim,
 Admiralty Island.

That the work done this winter on the coal deposit on Admiralty Island for which he asked lease encourages the belief that an ade quate fuel supply can be developed right at home, is the statement of John B. Marshall. who is now using some of the coal produced in his own furnace with entirely satis- factory results Mir. Marshall said that he hoped to begin shippinS coal to Juneau for sale next summer
 'I had a small crew working until December 16. on the coal outcrop at Chapin Bay" he said. for which l have an application pending in the Department of the Interior, and 1 am also applying for an oil prospect ing permit on the same ground. based upon an oil seepage found there by one of the natives working for me.
 'I am not at all excited about tte oil as yet, but I am burning the coal in my furnace, and it is very satisfactory. The coal seam is three feet thick, and has been exposed att points along the surface for dis tance of about 800 feet l think, therefore, that it will prove to be q workable deposit.
 Just what this means locally twill be realized when you consider that Southeastern Alaska is paying for it's coal supply about one half mill ion dollars annually. This does not include the charges of the local transfer men for hauling the coal and the bulk of this large sum goes to the owners of the Canadian coal mines, and the transportation com panies. If we can produce our own coal, with our own capital, not only will the cost of mining and trans portation, but the profit on the sale of the coal as well, remain here.
 Last fall l had the coal analysed by l.. J Till at the Treadwell plant. with the following result:
 Moisture .-.-....-.......- 0.97 per cent Volatile combustible
 matter ......-.-.....-... 27.9S per cent : Fixed carbon .....--..-- 62 20 per cent Ash -..,.....--.--.-.....--.,... 8.S5 per cent
 Tot2l ...-..-..-....-..100.0 per cert Sulphur ..................-. O5o per cent
 My application for coal and oil
 leases covers all the ground lying betw@n Chapin and Herring Bays, on Admiralty Island. Chapin Bay is q sp1al land-locked harbpr, with an ample depth of water and the coal deposit is so situated that it can be worked at a very low cost For sometime early in the summer, l l hope to be able to supply the ! Channel town with coal.
 'I expect to have arrangements l completed to start work again just as soon 2s the frost is out of the ground in the spring Asked if he would be an applicant for any political office, Judge Mar shall stated emphatically that heI would not and that he didn't want any political office. "I an consid- erably more interested in coal than in politics right now" he continued "In fact, you might say truthfullyl that coal is the burning issue with me, and that 1 have some coal that burns.

have reference TO the so-called
strategy that lot OF managers in
dulge in every day as to their pitch
ing selections.
Most managers have a pretty good
idea the night before who they in
tend pitching the next day. Occa-
sionally there is a doubt as TO the
possible selection.
Yet IL is analmost everyday oc-
currence to have the rival man
ayers try to pull something, by
covering up their pitching selections
until the very last minute.
In the American and National
League there are certain clubs who
are weak against left-handed pSch-
ing. Some OF these clubs have
enough reserve force to combat any
weakness by shifting the lineup to
meet the pitching selection.
In order to make as much trouble
as possible. some managers always
have both a left and right handler
warming up. That keeps the man
ager Of team that is weak against
left handlers up in the air. In order
