CLERK TO
 COLLECT TAXES
 ON MOTOR CARS
Territory Changes System of Collecting Automo-
 bile License Fees

A change in the Territory's meth cd of collecting automobile license taxes will be made January 1, it was announced today by Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, who has designated as collectors of such fees the city clerks of various municipalities and United States Commissioners in others
 Formerly the licenses have been collected by regular tax collectors of the Territory, or directly through the Treasurers office. The new collectors are allowed commission of per cent on all fees collected.
 The new system was created by Chapter 83, Session Laws of Alaska 1881, which also imposed tax on $10 on all kinds of motor vehicles, including delivery trucks and mot orcycles which have not been taxed by the Territory in past years. Two license plates, instead of one, will be issued by the Territory beginning January l, under the law which requires them to be at tached to the vehicle so as to be visible from both rear and front. Where a municipality has a full time, paid City Clerk, such officer has been appointed collector of automobile licenses. In all other places, the United States Com missioners have been designated MT. Smith said.
 The law is effective now, but taxes are not due until January l, next year. A provision in the Sta ute requires it's enforcement by the United States Marshals of the several divisions.

Relate Narrowing Experi- ence of Being Adrift

HAD GIVEN UP HOPE
 OF BEING RESCUED
U. s. Mine Sweeper Swan Directed to Scene by
 Airplane Pilots

COLON. Nov. 14-Eleven sur- vivors of the crew of the motor ship Baden Baden, which foundered off the Colombia coast last Mon day, rested here today.
 The eleven survivors recounted their experience of three days and three nights on a storm-tossed sea in an open boat, facing starva- ton.
 Soon after the big freighter sank, the survivors said they saw sec ond lifeboat overturn carrying five comrades to death.
 Airplanes Afford Cheer
 The eleven men heard airplanes overhead, which cheered them, then they waited. They had no fresh water and only two cans of beans, some cheese and one banana.
 Hours wore into days and they parcelled the last rations.
 Chills and fever came and they were losing their fight for life and began to despair when they were finally sighted by the Swan, Unit ed States mine sweeper. The crew of the Swan saw the survivors drop to their knees and thank God they were at last to be rescued. The Swan had been directed to the rescue by reports of airplane pilots.
 Owners Lose Lives
 The survivors confirmed earlier reports that Hans Lau and Adolph Schoenck, owners of the Baden Baden, were among the five men in the lifeboat that overturned and lost their lives.
 The motors of the Baden Baden failed last Monday as the gale was it's height. Capt. Walters said a shifting of the cargo caused the freighter to list and she began to sink. Within twenty minutes after the cargo shifted the Baden Baden went down. This short time gave the crew no time to properly pro- vision the life boats.

Many Small Colleges Fared
Better on Grid Than in

BY JOHN L. GRIFFITH,
Commissioner of Athletics for the
Western Conference

H1CAGO, December % IP). -
The year 1881 has demon
Y strated the hold that school
and college athletics have on
the American people.
The spectacular games have been
we'll attended, as in the past, and not
many Of the educational institutions
have discontinued their athletic pro-
grams. Next year the minor sports
and intramural programs will Of ne
cesSity be curtailed, but curtailment
should be but temporary, because
there is no evidence that the interest
in college athletics has been decreased
With the return of business prosperity
We may expect a return also of ath-
letic prosperity.
THERE was decrease in foot ball
l. gate receipts at some of the large
universities, but many of the small
colleges Jared better than they did in
1880, The reason for this being that
people who formerly made long trips
10 see spectacular games this year
saved money by attending games
nearer home.
For some unknown reason there were
more serious injuries received in con-
nectlon with games played by ma jor
institutions this year than is usually the
case. An attempt is being made to as
certain why this is true.
Inc Rules Committee for a number
OF years has been attempting to remove
the unnecessary hazards, clipping had
been prohibited and piling is taboo.
EURTHER, there have been fewer in
l. fractions of the unnecessary
roughneSs rule this year than in an
earlier day. The fields are better kept,
the coaches use more substitutes, the
players are being given better equip
ment and their medical supervision
leaves but little to be asked for 1t
would seem that more fatalities than
usual occurred this year, but perhaps
they may be classified as unavoidable
accidents. The American youth still
enjoys personal-contact games.
College base ball showed some signs
OF reviving interest in the game on the
part of the school and college under
graduates. Base ball is a losing sport
financially in the educational institu-
tionS. as indeed is track, and these two
sports consequently have suffered in
comparison with foot ball and basket
ball. However, the average American
boy likes to play base ball. and so long
as there are enough youngsters with a
fondness for base ball entering the COL
legeS annually this sport viii not die,
The American Legion base ball pro-
gram has been the greatest single con-
trlbutlng factor to the development of
amateur base ball.
