INTEREST IN ALASKA STILL
 KEEN N--PARKS
Head of Field Service Returns With Added
 Duties

Alaska and Alaskan affairs remain very much to the fore in Washing ton and many visitors, official and semi i-official, are planning Alaskan trips during the coming Summer, ac- cording to George A. Parks, Chief of Alaska Field Service, Department of the Interior, and chairman of the two Interdepartmental Committees, who was in Cordova yesterday on his way to Fairbanks. He has been in Washington since last December on official business.
 Col. Alfred H. Brooks, Chief of the Geological Survey in Alaska, is expected to make a lengthy trip to the Territory this year, said Mir. Parks. Colonel Brooks was a mem Der of the Huston party making the trip to Alaska and the Orient last year and suffered a slight paralytic stroke in Japan. He has made con- siderable improvement and is again on active duty. High officials of the Interior Department may also visit the Territory next Summer. It is not impossible, said MT Parks, that either Secretary Work or First As sistant Secretary Finney may make the trip.
 Transfer of the tOwnsites along the Alaska Railroad to MT. Parks was announced by him, orders for such change being received by him since arrival in Alaska. Heretofore ad- of these townsites has been vested in the Land and In dustrial department of the Alaskan Commission. Arrange ments for the formal transfer have not been made but it will probably take place about the time that Col. Frederick Mears is relieved and the new management of the railroad un- der Col. James G. Steese inaugurated.

MAY CHANGE RULES
ON SHIFT, TACKLING

ATLANTA, Ga, December 31.-Im-
portant changes may yet be made in
the gridfron rules. coaches from all
sections Of the country declared be-
fore taking their departure follow
ing the final session of the annual
meeting of the National Football
Coaches Association.
Despite the declaration by the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion foot ball rules committee that
the regulations by which the game
is now played are satisfactory to all
concerned, many coaches were said
to have expressed themselves in
favor of a revision.
The agitation appeared to have
been centered around the jump shift
and tackling. 1t was recommended
that the jump shift be abolished
or two-second wait between shift
and the snap of the ball be required.
Many of the coaches also were of
the opinion that the flying tackle and
the tackle below the knee should be
reinstated. The present rules state
that player must have one foot on
the ground when he makes a tackle,
and that no man, except the center,
the two guards and the two tackles
may tackle below the knees.
Establishment of a central board
which shall be final authority on
Interpretation of rules and to be ap-
pealed to in case Of disagreement,
was also being urged by coaches, it

ARRAY OF FIGHTERS
TO INVADE AMERICA

NEW YORK. December 31.-In-
foreign boxers after setting a new
high mark in 1923 romises to estab-
lish another record in the new year.
Prospects of profitable matches in
this country have attracted ambitious
talent from Europe and South Amer
lea. the latter sending two formidable
candidates for honors in Louis Angel
Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, and
Luis Vicentini, Chilean lightweight
Two European champions already are
in this country seeking laurels, a
third is due early in January. while
others have come in search of ring
prominence, despite lack of titles.
Within the last few weeks two title
holding Britishers have arrived-Ro-
land Todd. European middleweight
champion. and Harry Mason. wearer
Of the European lightweight belt.
Todd was defeated by Tommy Lough-
ran. Philadelphia light heavyweight
in his debut here. largely because. of
handicaps in weight, height and
reach. Mason has yet to show his
fistic wares.
Ermino Spalla Of Italy. European
heavyweight champion, will join the
invading ranks within a fortnight
when he arrives to prepare for a
match with Gene Tunney, American
light heavyweight champion, slated
for February /.
A fourth European champion
Edouard Mascart of France. feather
weight titleholder-may come here in
the spring to seek a match with
Johnny Dundee. the Italian American.
who wrested the featherweight
laurels last summer from another
Frenchman, Eugene CriQui.
George Carpenter has another pros
pective f1stic venture in America early
in 1924 to meet leading American
light heavyweights, while Battling

already is touring this country.
Firpo looms by far as the most
dangerous invader. The wild Bull

Dempsey out Of the ring before finally
going down to defeat last Septem-
Der at the Polo Grounds, will return
to the United States, probably in
March, to campaign for another title
match.

receiving a setback at the hands of
Johnny Shugrue, but plans to return
in February and fight his way to a

The Navy players delighted the pig
nimbleness and celebrity which proph-
cts predicted would sink Washing
tons hopes. Others foretold that If
rain should bring a slippery field 1t
would be the Navy that would be
sunk.
1t is believed that Washington will
not rely on an aerial game but rather
on line plunging. Ziel. Tesreau and
Wilson are expected to play an i'm
portant part in this department Ziel

inside the 45-yard line.
Navy is expected to count heavily

Most of the $4,000 seats have been

| To fans, who expected to catch \
glimpse of the Navy goat at the hotel

made with a Pasadena goat to rep

BASE BALL IS FACING
DOMESTIC PROBLEM

CHICAGO, December 31-The do
mestic side of the major league base
ball club is presenting a difficult
problem in the form of the Urban
Shocker case. on which a decision is
expected soon by Commissioner Lam
dis.
In dispute over refusal Of the st.
Louis American League Club to per-
init him to take his wife on the last
eastern trip of the 1923 season,
Shocker balked and was suspended
and fined $1,000.
The difference in rules on such mat
ters among the clubs has compli-
Gated the problem.
Announcement that Manager Sisler
of the Browns would not agree to the
sale or trade of Shocker is believed
to point the way toward a settlement
of the dispute, although Shocker has
insisted he be declared free agent"

MARYLAND FISHING
LAW Will BE TOPIC

Fishermen from Garrett, Allegheny.
Washington, Frederick, Carroll and
Baltimore counties, Md, and members
OF the Maryland State Game and Fish
Protective Association will gather at
Frederick Thursday to discuss state
ishing license law.
Two tentative drafts of legislation
to provide money for stocking the
inland streams with fish have been
prepared by E. Lee Lecompte, state
game warden. One would add SO
cents to the price of hunting licenses
as fee for fishing, while the other
would make the anglers license sep
arate from the hunting license If
the latter plan were adopted county
licenses would cost 81, permits to
hunt any place in the state, $3.50 for
residents and $40 for non-residents.
Lecompte suggests that the money
from these licenses would be used for
hsh hatcheries and an expert to take
charge of them.

Getting rid of the ball is good
basket ball because basket ball is a
teamwork game. When a player in
possession of the ball passes to an
unguarded player he changes the
position of the ball, thereby rem
dering the opponents defense more
vulnerable to attack. Many a game
has been lost because a player held
a ball a second too long. An entire
team must be kept mentally alert
for perfect participation in the game.
By the use of the short pass game,
much of the trouble of holding the
ball can be eliminated, and the light
ming rapidity of the passing from
one man to another, which is so
delightful to watch, contributes to
the bewilderment of the opponents.
