BILL UP IN SENATE i;
 DUNN SPONSORS
of Auditor Pro- posed Would Succeed
 to Secretary's Duties

The creation of the office of Auditor of Alaska and provision for popular election of it's encum- bent for a four-year term are pro- vided for in Senate Bill No. 5, in- troduced yesterday afternoon by Senator John w. Dunn, of the Fourth Division. It is generally in accord with one of the recon mendations made by Coy. Parks in his message to the Legislature yes terday.
 The first auditor, under the terms of the measure, would be elected by the present Legislature. At the general election of 1880, the of flee would be filled by popular vote, the term being for four years beginning March l, 1881.
 No particular technical quaiifica- tions are imposed by the measure. The minimum age requirement. is 30 years. and ten years residence immediately preceding election, or appointment is required. The sal ary is fixed at $40O0 per year. The office of auditor will handle all Territorial duties heretofore dis charged by the Secretary Of Alas ka. Senator Dunn's bill provides for the Auditor to be registrar of vital statistics. The Governor yes terday recommended this section of the work, together with all vital statistics records, to be transfer red to the Health Department.
 The measure carries an eme~gen- cy clause that would put it into effect immediately following it's passage and approval.

Since the inception of car rying mail by plane in 1918, when the Government started the serv- ice. the loss from fire has on the general trend decreased, even though the amount of mail car- ried has steadily increased. In 1918, the first year of the service, the pounds of mail carried was 17,831 and there was no resulting loss from fire; in 1919 the amount car ried increased to 30,251 pounds and the fire loss was 258 pounds. From 1918 until 1924, when the air mail contracts were let to private con- certs, there were three years with no loss from fire, and during two of these years the greatest amount of mail was carried, well over l. 500.000 pounds.
 MT. Smith thanked the Chamber for the great assistance that he had received while working here and assured the body that Juneau was to have it's air service, and this summer.

VIRGINIA TO|L|NG
FOR Y. P. |. CLASH
Coach Abel Sends Players
Through Fundamentals
in Long Drill.

T UNIVERSITY, Va, November S.
Virginia's varsity foot ball
squad has gone back to drill
in fundamentals In preparation
for the game with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute next Saturday on
Lambeth Field.
Earl Abel, head coach, is far from
pleased with the performance of his
charges against Maryland and he has
given them to understand that they are
going to have to do better against "
P. I.
Practice started yesterday with long
drill the dummies In both tackling
and blocking. There was no rest for
the men who played last Saturday.
As the routine of plays were run off
the coaches gave special attention to
the blocking in the line. This is where
Virginia appeared very weak against
Maryland and the coaches know that
they cannot expect to defeat v, P. I.
unless play In this department is a great
deal better.
Faulconer started out as varsity field
general, but he soon turned over the
position to Capt. Sloan, who was in
uniform for the first time since he was
pected that the Cavalier captain will be
able to start the game against Virginia
Tech.
Today. tomorrow and Thursday prob
ably will find the varsity squad going
at top speed through a long practice
period. On Friday the Virginia first
year eleven plays the freshmen from
v. P. I. and the varsity will not have
a long drill with this game on the card.
Defensive scrimmage against the
scrub eleven drilled in Gobbler plays
probably will be on the program for
this afternoon. The men aren't mind
ing being worked overtime, for they are
all anxious to upset the Virginia Poly
eleven.

IOWA TEAM STANDS

Menace to Both Minnesota
and Purdue, Unbeaten in
Big Ten Race.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

- HICAGO, November 5.-Minne-
4 sofa and Purdue, racing step
and step toward Western Con-
~ ference foot ball honors, both
are haunted by the same spec
ter-Iowa.
The Iowa menace is Minnesota's con-
Germ this week. for they will meet at
Iowa City Saturday. With Northwest
ern and Indiana out of the way, Coach
Spears started yesterday to elaborate
on his offenSe in preparation for the
game that may make or break the
Gopher season.
The situation caused by the schedule
may work to the advantage Of Purdue,
which will meet Iowa after Minnesota
takes its crack at Burt Ingwerson's
team. The contest is almost certain
to be a test of physical endurance, and
the Hawkeyes may be softened up for
Purdue by their experience with Min
nesota.
Ohio States prospects Of a victory
over Northwestern Saturday were halt
ed Yesterday when Coach Sam VILLA
man of the Buckeyes suspended Charlie
Coffee. one of his star halfbacks, for
the remainder of the season for infrac-
ton of training rules while the team
was in Pittsburgh last week end. Coffee
was the most consistent ground gamer
for Ohio State in the Pittsburgh game
and Willaman had expected to start
him against the Wildcats.
Illinois started drilling for its inter-
sectional clash with Army Saturday
after Coach Zuppke finished telling the
varsity how bad it looked against North
western last Saturday. Frosty" Peters
was in uniform yesterday, but will not
know If he will be able to play against
the cadets until he is given an X-ray
examination Wednesday.
Although battered in its defeat by
Purdue, Wisconsin received no day Of
rest yesterday. Coach Thistlethwaite

Kipke hopes to unearth the missing
scoring punch. Indiana has an open
date this week and faces little work.

There has been criticism from
time to time of the Masonic ASSo-
cations method of determining {,
champion. It operates under a
handicap system, to which few OBJ
ject, but it has been held that the
league would be better off from
the standpoint of interesting COM
petition If it were divided into sew
eral sections, with a championship
play-off among sectional winners.
1t would be no mean distinction to
be section title winner, If that
meant the ScalpS of II teams.
AS matters now stand there is only
one objective for SO teams where there
might be at least three.
1t is said that some teams carry on
in the Masonic Association out Of 10y
atty to lodge, having little or no interest
in the disposition of pennant or prizes,
albeit six prizes are awarded teams
winning the most games in the last 10
weeks Of the season. The extra prizes
were thought of as a means to keep up
interest of teams far in the ruck. How
ever, when one Is fifteenth or twentieth,
not to speak Of thirty sixth, in any
sort of race it ceases to be sport and
rather becomes a matter of finishing

team has done this, finishing far down
the list year after year. This is the
leagues fifteenth season, and only six
lodges have won the pennant, despite
the handicap system.
The North of Washington League Is
divided into two sections, with q cham
pionship play-off to wind up the cam
paign. In each section several teams
are fighting for the lead, and probably
with little thought at this time Of the
main title. They have before them an
immediate objective and one plenty
important to summon all their COM
petitive spirit.
Then there's the Odd Fellows League,
with "a teams, divided into two Sec
tions. After the first two series, the six
leading teams of each section will be
thrown into a separate league to play
for the pennant, and the second six in
each will battle for consolation honors.
