Adjustments Of schedules in the sew
Nral sports and a Tightening up Of
some Of the regulations regarding
scholastic work are expected to be
the main results Of the meetings of
the Southern Foot Ball Coaches AS
ISOLATION and Southern Conference at
Jacksonville Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
At the gathering of the coaches
Thursday night will take place dis.
oussions of some of the technical
problems of foot ball as well AS games
for next Fall. Many changes have
been proposed in the regulat atoms favor
ing the Southern Conference, but it
is not likely that many of them will
receive a good deal Of consideration.
Likely to Tighten Up.
One thing for which there seems
TO be a united demand, especially on
the part Of some of the State universi-
ties, is tighter scholastic require
ments. In three or four institutions
these requirements are far below what
they are in some other schools and an
attempt undoubtedly will be made to
effect some kind Of an equalization.
For instance, in the great majority
of institutions in the conference high
school or prepa ratory school gradu-
alton is required for entrance, while
in some few schools a student may
enter with 13 or Ia credits, make up
the extra credits during the fresh
man year, then be eligible to play
varsity foot ball in the sophomore
year. It seems more than probable
that there may be passed rule bar
ring any student who first enters col
lege with less than the number of
units required for high school gradu-
alton.
The meeting Thursday night will be
entirely for coaches and graduate
managers Practically all the head
coaches and their assistants In all
the schools in the conference will be
present, and everything that relates
to foot ball from a coaching point OF
view is pretty likely to be discussed
and recommendations formulated for
presentation to the conference meet
ings Friday and Saturday.
Will Act as to Officials.
One question to be brought up by
the coaches which Is sure to- get a
thorough going over is that of Of
cials. One proposal has been made to
establish a central board for the
South, such as exists in the North,

had any real foot ball experience be-

June. Most Of the others are oz the

1T took a real fighting heart to pull
such games out of the fire as those

They put UP their greatest defensive
exhibition in defeating Michigan, but
their attack against the Army was one
of the greatest and gamest have ever

Take all this into consideration. the

Huge Iron Pipe Tonnage
 for Big Mining Company

Three thousand tons of iron pipe is to be shipped to Fairbanks from Seattle for the Fairbanks Explor- ation Company, according to a report reaching Seward during the last week. It was on this business that J. T. Cunningham, head of the transportation department of the AL aska Railroad, left for Seattle, last week, it was stated.
 On account of freight rates, it is understood the question of whether the pipe should be shipped north as it comes from the manufacturer or shipped flattened out together with pipe rolling machinery to shape it up in the Interior. Three thous- and tons of iron pipe will require three steamer trips to this port.

Married life for Miss Wilson and Baxter in the picture glides along without semblance of a hitch until Cosgrove, playing Baxter's father, comes to live with the young couple. What happens from this point on we'll leave for the picture to tell. Any one can guess readily enough, but you would never believe it possible Ito get so much fun out of such a situation as Cruze has crammed into Welcome Home.''

 The construction of such a hospital was authorized last year, so the present sys- tenn of caring for the insane lin private hospitals can be abolished.
 Gov. Parks said it was eX- plained that the proposed hospital could be built anc maintained at less cost to the government in Washington. and Oregon than in Alaska. Climatic condition he also urged was another reason for it's construction outside of the Territory.
 It is estimated the cost of building such an institution in Alaska would approxi' mate $630,O00, and S50O,. 900 on the Outside.

Comes a day when old friends must part and in this instance, two esteemed citizens of Seward. and res idents of this district for years, are leaving.
 Mrs. Alvah Flames returned to Seward a few days ago from the States where MT. Flames has been convalescing for the last four months. Returning for the purpose of pack ing their household effects which will be shipped Outside, for MT, Flames has been transferred from the Alaska postal service to the Seattle chief clerks department, and there the couple may make their future nome.
