 Resources Are Valuable
 From Alaska's coastal waters is taken annually the worlds largest catch of salmon, while her rivers and streams teem with trout and grayling.
 Tt is land of gigantic beauty tc lure and fascinate with it's mighty glaciers that tumble into the sea- mountains that seem to pierce the sky; the deep blue wat CTS of the famous Inside Passage; ; it's sunsets; it's northern lights; and it's gorgeously brilliant wild flowers abounding everywhere in astonishing profusion.
 And yet we find grain fields and vegetable gardens; dairies and livestock; schools and churches; paved streets and automobiles; happy homes with healthy, rosy checked kiddies. Here we find the worlds farthest-north Agricultural College and School of Mines, To- cated at Fairbanks, within one hun dred miles of the Arctic circle. That is the Alaska of today.
 Its development from an indus trial standpoint is now well under way in it's fisheries, mining, lum- bering and fur. A start is being made in agriculture, controlled fur farming and in growing reindeer IL is becoming mecca for an ever-increasing tourist travel.
 "If you will open your geographies you will see that three-fourths of Alaska lies within the north tenn perate zone and in the same lati- tude as Scotland, Norway and Sweden. Only one-fourth of it ex- tends beyond the Arctic circle.
 Tt should not be surprising therefore to find many of the ag- ricultural crops, including livestock, suitable to these northern attitudes  growing in the Territory.

Injured Quartet Improving Steadily But Still Con-

With no serious complications ap- parent in any of the four persons who were badly battered and bruis- cd in the Willoughby Avenue auto mobile crash, Thursday the pa tients are reported to be materially improved today.
 Mrs. Jennie Soberg, re3 suffered five broken ribs, a fractured collar bone and many other minor injur- ies, passed a good night at St. Ann's hospital and is resting easier today She was the most seriously injured of the quartet, and is i'm proving as rapidly as could be eX- pected, according to her physician.
 X-ray pictures taken of all the victims yesterday revealed that Harry Regis and Mrs. Begis each suffered cracked shoulder blade. Other than these, and the fractures sustained by Mrs Soberg, there were no bones broken as far as the X-rays revealed
 While Mike Kosoff was probably the least seriously hurt of all he is still suffering from shock and bad bruises and contusions. The patients are confined to their beds and are still experiencing consid- erable pain from bruises and cuts.

VIRGINIA'S MENTORS
WORKING WITH LINE
Ball Carriers Appear Able, but
Are Given Little Help in
Game With Duke.

UNIVERSITY. Va, October Earl
Abel, Virginia head coach, and Gus
Tebell, his chief Of staff, are holding
lengthy conferences this week planning
the campaign of the Cavaliers in their
next four games, against Pennsylvania,
V. M. l., Kentucky and Maryland.
On the Virginia squad there are many
feet backs, more than are usually avail
BILE on Lambeth Field in an average
season. But most of the linemen are
inexperienced, and they showed by their
play against Duke last week that they
don't know how to open holes for the
ball carriers.
What the coaches hope to do before
the Cavaliers make their next public
appearance, against Penn on Franklin
Field, is to devise a way Of getting these
backs started with the defense opened
up.
Thomas showed by his runs of 50, Il
and 80 yards against Duke that he
knows what to do when he gets in the
open. Bryant, Sippley, Beury, Gravatt,
Ptnder and Sackett also did well on the
few occasions when they got past the
line of scrimmage.
How to get these backs past the
scrimmage line with greater regularity
is now puEzling the coaches. They hope
to find a way.
The backfield squad has been
strengthened by the return Of Brewer,
first year fullback last season, who has
been out for 10 days nursing an infec-
tion.' Brewer is another good ball toter
and Is in addition q fine defensive
player, especially in backing up the
line.

show the effects of the strain Of keep
ing pace with Earnshaw.
After Bing Miller had grounded to
Colbert, Mule Haas beat out a bunt
to Grimes. He then stole second, be-
ing declared safe after Frisch dropped
Grimes glove, which put runners on
first and third, with one out.
Here was our chance, and Connie
Mack decided to make the most of It, so
he sent Jim Moore, our rookie out
fielder, to bat for Earnshaw. Grimes
was crafty, and he walked Moore, fill
ing the bases.
Bishop and Dykes, however, were not
equal to the task, and Grimes shut
our rally of without score. 1t was
o great chance to win, and we booted 1t.
in the ninth with walk. Connie was
shooting for the moon. It was a case
Of all or nothing, and he refused to
order q sacrifice, though it seemed the
logical thing.
It's not often during the season that
you see Simmons or Foxx bunt and
these games are just the same as the
others. AL had his healthy cut but his
best was fly to Colbert in deep short.
Jimmy Foxx was next, and did he con-
meet!
Straightens Out Curve Ball.
Grimes threw only three or four
curve balls all day. Foxx hit one of
these for a single earlier in the game.

game for us.

VICTORY DESERVED
I BY ROCKNE ELEVEN
SaVoldi's 90-Yard Run From
Kickoff Made Possible
by Interference.
BY BOB ZUPPKE.


Foot BAH COACH University Of Illinois.
- HAMPAIGN, Ill, October
4 7.-Notre Dame n d
~ Northwestern stand out as
foot ball teams of great po-
tential promise, judging from
their successful openings against
Southern Methodist and Tulane.
True, Notre Dame broke q tie to win
in the closing minutes, but the Irish
deserved the victory. My observer tells
me there was no question Of the justice
Of the decision for interference with a
pass receiver which gave Rocknes crew
their opportunity.
Coach Ray Morrison's Methodists
were magicians in handling the ball on
passes, and their receivers performed
marvelously, but the Texans were help
less against Notre Danes running at
tack. When Savoldi ran 90 yards from
the kickoff to score 1t mean fine inter-
ference.
Northwesterns defeat of Tulane was
much more decisive than I expected
for the Wildcats might well have
doubled the score If Coach Hanley had
used his nrst Strtngers more. North
Westerns line was too big and strong
defensively for the lighter Tulane wall.
The Southerners may not be as strong
as supposed, but Northwestern probably
Is good.
Wild Tosses Ruinous.
Although guessed Minnesota to beat
Vanderbilt, expected a tight game,
and Vanderbilt victory by a close
score would not have surprised me.
But Vanderbilt scored five touchdowns
to one by Minnesota, which certainly
was unexpected.
The game demonstrated that those
who profit by the pass shall also perish
by 1t, for Minnesota's wild losses were
turned into scores by Vanderbilt. It is
a dangerous thing to pass in your own
territory, especially II you do not have
skilled throwers and receivers. South
ern Methodist got away with it, but
Minnesota Is new to the open game,
and her linemen probably interfered
with each other and couldn't get around
faS, enough.
Ohio States % points against Indi-
ana in the only Big Ten contest looked
impressive, but am afraid that In
diana Is even weakc- than supposed.
Our Illinois "B" team, certainly not a
strong outfit played 6-6 tie with
Miami Saturday, and Miami previously
had held Indiana to two touchdowns.
