 Traps Hard Hit
 The trap recommendation covers only the waters in Southeastern Alaska north from the 57th parallel, or about on a line drawn through the vicinity of Rake and northward. In that area it is recommended that all traps be placed not less than two miles apart South of the 57th par allel trap fishing would be unaffect- ed. It is understood that MT. Sut- ter, who represents the packers on the Committee, objected to such a drastic provision, but without avail.
 Touching on seines, the Commit tees recommendations said:
 "Throughout Southeastern Alaska only one seine should be permitted per boat. They should not be of less depth than 200 meshes, nor of greater depth than 300 meshes. No seine shall be of less than 15O fathoms in length, nor longer than 25O fathoms, measured on the cork line. No leads will be permitted. The mesh of seines shall measure 312 inches stretched"
 The following areas and close sea sons were recommended:
 "In the waters of Southeastern Alaska between the 58th and Goth parallels of north latitude, commer- cial fishing should close at 6 p. m. August 5 and remain closed for the remainder of the year.
 ''In the waters between the 57th and 58th parallels, commercial fish ing should cease at 6 p. m. August Ii for the remainder of the year.
 "In the waters south of the 57tn parallel, excluding those of Prince of Wales Island, north of Marrow Point along the northern shore and along the west shore from Pt. Baker to Cape Chacon, and the waters of Etolin Island along the west and southern shores, the close season should begin August 20 at 6 p. m. and continue to September 15. An other close season should begin Oc- tober 15 at 6 p. m. and continue to the end of the year.

STERN MEASURES FOR ALASKA FISHING ARE
 APPROVED BY BOARD

Regulations more drastic than any ever before attempted for the sal mon fishing industry were contained in recommendations passed by the Alaska Fisheries Advisory Commit tee to put into effect for the season of 1925. These recommendations, which were made public by Gov. Scott c. Bone, Chairman of the Ad- visory Committee, will be submitted to Secretary Hoover with the re- quest that they be embodied in regu- lations for issuance as soon as pos sible so that canners and fishermen may have adequate notice of the re- quirements for next season, say the Empire.
 The meeting, Gov. Bone said, was very harmonious and satisfactory in every respect. It was attended by the Governor, Calvin c. Hazelet, was was elected Secretary, Harry E. Ellsworth, Carl A. Sutter and Sam uel Buttes, members, and U. s. Fisheries Commissioner Henry o. Malley and Asst. Fisheries Agent E. M. Ball. The Committee was in session virtually all day, ending it's first meeting at D. m. on the eighth.
 Ask Many Restrictions
 The Committee asked for many re- strictions, beginning with the mouths of the Yukon River and extending through all of the various areas to the southern border of the Territory. They follow largely the suggestions made by Commissioner O'Malley.
 In Southeastern Alaska for next season the recommendations involve: Thirty-seven individual closed areas covering as many bays, coves, pas sages, etc.; four distinct districts with varying close seasons on com mercial fishing for salmon; sweep ing regulation of traps in the north ern end of the Division; and severe limitation of gear on seine boats.
 A close season is recommended for the Yakutat area in addition to the regulations applying to the current season.
 In the Copper River, it is requested that stake nets be entirely abolish ed and gear limited to drift gill nets of specified sizes. Close seasons are also asked for in this area.
 A close season in Prince William Sound is also recommended ana l.,inor regulatory measures sought.
 Other recommendations included a three and one-half day closure in Resurrection Bay; close season in Cook Inlet and the establishment of restricted zones around stream mouths; opening small area near Cane IIvak clnsinr IIoanik Rau Wis.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. 1s.-
When informed today that Yale
coaches were declaring IIarvard's
reported list of injuries was moth
ing more than the old "wolf cry"
Bob Fisher, Harvard head coach,
smiled sourly and said:
/ II only wish these injuries were
not 80 serious. / have never known

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. H.
With the Yale squad in perfect
condition, betting today on the
Harvard game became quite brisk
in and around the common. Most
of the Yale money was looking for
the long end Of five to one odds
that ELI would win, but It looked
in vain. Harvard is said to be de.
handing as high as three to one
before it will back IT'S team. Con.
siderable wagering has been done
at even money that, Yale viii win
The indications this afternoon
were that the coaches would ease
off in the amount OF work given
the varsity in order to maintain
the mental and psychological effect.
The return of Noble and Gill
to the squad has left the varsity
without a major injury of any sort.
