BOARD HOLDING MEETING TODAY:
 TALKS SCHOOLS
Board of Education in Session New Policy in Ap-
 pointing Trustees.

Educational matters were taken up today at meeting Of the Territorial Board of Education, which convened il the office of Gov. Scott c. Bone at 3 D. m. Estimates for the Terri torial school system, the appoint ment of the Commissioner of Educa- ton for a two-year term and the Al aska A. & M. College were included in the subjects set to be discussed
 In speaking of the current vacancy on the Board of Trustees of the col .lege. Governor Bone said today;
 "It is my purpose, when changes occur on the board, to give repre- sentation to other sections of the Territory within easy reach of Fair banks and I indicated this fact in September last in a talk to busi- ness men at the Westward when endeavored to stimulate interest in the institution The operation of the railroad makes such policy feas- able. AS originally constituted, two members of the board were never able to attend meeting and in the lnfllal stages or the cUIeBe the or ganization has been wholly in charge of citizens of Fairbanks, who have rendered most capable service. Now the situation is changed. Fairbanks is today easily accessible and it be- comes possible, as it is highly i'm portant, to identify the institution thoroughly with the Territory at large. In filling vacancies the new trustees will. of course, be citizens who have educational interests at heart and who can be depended upon to keep in close and active touch with the college and help to shape its course wisely.
 'T am of the opinion that the Com missioner of Education of the Terri tory should be, ex-officio, member eff the Board of Trustees of the Col lege, which would be in keeping with the spirit of the law creating the educational system of Alaska, and l shall so recommend to the Legis- lature through the Board of Educa- tion."

 Added Duties.

Alaska and Alaskan affairs remain very much to the fore in Wash ing'ton and many visitors, official and semi-official, are planning Alas kan trips during the coming summer. according to George A. Parks. Chief of Alaska Field Service, Department of the Interior. and chairman of the two Intcrdepartmental Committees, who returned to his headquarters here on the steamer Northwestern last Saturday.

.BEHRENDS WELL
 PLEASED;M0ST
 OPTIMISTIC NOW
Juneau Banker Returns from States - Future Never
 Brighter for Section.

That the outlook for Juneau and Alaska is better than it has been fol a. long time. is the view that B. NJ Behrends, Juneau banker and mer chant, brings back from the South.
 Business is in excellent condition on the Outside and everybody is talk dng Alaska, he said. He looks for greater activity in both the fishing and mining industries and for the commencement of paper mill con. struction before the end of the sum. mer.
 For Paper Mill
 'T never came back to Juneau from a trip to the States" said MT. Behr- ends today, with a more optimistic outlook. I believe, generally speak ing, business is better in Washing. ton. California and Oregon than it ever has been. People are optimis- tic over the future.
 Fishing Industry
 Further, I never heard more hopeful Alaska talk or more people planning on coming to Alaska. I be- lieve that nearly every Alaska can nery will be operated this year. All the old packs have been sold and gone into consumption, and most of last years packs have been disposed of likewise Many of them have sold their last years packs to the last ease. Prices are good and the de- mand large.
 Mining Outlook
 'sThere is a noticeable improve ment in the mining outlook The in- creased demand and price for copper is probably in large measure re- sponsible for this condition.
 Transportation companies are all looking for an immense tourist traf- fife with Alaska, particularly the Southeastern portion of the Terri tory this year"
 Mir. Behrends said he was not at liberty to speak of the details of pulp and paper plans, but authorized the statement that he confidently ex- pected to see work begun before the summer is over.
 MT. Behrends returned home on the Northwestern Saturday night, and devoted most of today visiting employees and friends in the B. M. Behrends Bank and the B. NJ. Behr- ends department store.

Copyright, 1928, by The san Antonio Light.
New Sok, Jan. 4.-The public has al

Cstcd in the Army-Navy football game.
There is little doubt in the mind of any
one today that it will be played in New
ork next fall, but whether thereafter
there is a chance of Baltimore getting
this gridiron classic for her new stadium
is a question.
The reason why West Point. which
has the choice of battle-ground for next
fall. will undoubtedly decide on New
York is that offer made public today of
Colonel Rupert of the Yankees. Rup-
pert says he viii give the two service
institutions 10000 seats. retaining a
mere 10000 for revenue for himself. il
the West Point authorities choose the
new Yank stadium.
The writer can personally state, hay
ing been TO Baltimore for the Marine
Army game that the stadium there has
great possibilities. The seating capacity
could easily be run up 10 10000. But
Philadelphia is nearer being the cen
trail meeting point for the two institu-
tons and for residents of the larger
centers also. As New York is nearer

that Baltimore also is nearer, by two

USE ONE CATCHER to-
DO ALMOST ALL WORK
Once Upon a Time URcom-
mon for Receiver to APP
pear in 100 Games.

New York, Jan. 4.--Being a catcher
in the big leagues is far different from
what it used TO be. Nowadays the
job calls for a great deal more work.
In the old days a receiver was only
expected TO toll every other day or so
and the backSt0pping duties were gen
orally about equally divided between
two men, with a third filling in Occa-
sionally.
4 few seasons back it was more or
less of an Oddity for a catcher 10 work
in 100 games during the campaign.
Anywhere from 60 TO IJ contests was
the usual average. But times have
changed until now the majority of the
clubs depend almost solely on one
catcher 10 do the bulk of the receiving.
Even a second-stTing backstop, a
valuable and necessary asset to a team,
seldom get much Of an opportunity to
show his wares. Obviously. the third
receiver. if there is one. warns the
bench for the major portion of the sea-
son. or else warns up the pitchers
in the bull pen.
During the 1922 penmant race in the
American League there were no less
than seven catchers who performed in
100 games and over. Washington be-
ing the only club which failed TO place
a man in this class. though CHARITY
came within four tits of the century
figure. toiling in 96 games. An. injury
