DIXIE SQUAD READY
FOR TOUGH BATTLE
Intent Upon Defeating All
Three RivaIs--Good Day
for Game Forecast.
LABAMA'S Crimson Tide

A LABAMA'S Crimson Tide
~ rolled into Washington
4 u shortly before noon today,
ready and eager for an at
tempt Saturday to become the
first foot ball power in history to
vanquish three varsity opponents
in one day.
The "a gridders who will face
George Washington, Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown in that
order in 20-minute battles were a
happy crew as they put up at the
Harrington.
The unusual contest just ahead serves
double purpose for them. 1t brings
about reunion of the pals who fought
through 100 per cent victorious sea-
son last year and it gives them oppor-
tunity to strike once more for the glory
Of their beloved 'Bama.
After luncheon at the Harrington, the
squad, under the direction of Head
Coach Frank Thomas and his chief aide
at Alabama, Hank Crisp was to visit
the President and Congress. At 2:30
O'Clock this afternoon a public workout
was on tap at Griffith Stadium.
THE squad is composed entirely OF
L players who took part in the Rose
Bowl game on New Year day, eight
of them being members Of this years
varsity. All appeared to be in playing
condition and great majority of them
on keen edge.
The winning spirit was manifest.
We're out to take all three and no
foolin'," said Freddie Sington, who, with
Foots Clement, gave Alabama the
greatest pair of linemen in the country
last season
This outfit is hungry for action, !"
said Coach Thomas, who gathered it
from many points in Dixie, where most
Of the players have been coaching.
Ordinary mortals, pygmies In COM
parison, gaped in astonishment as the
tide swept into the Harrington lobby.
1t was almost as though the Ringing
pachyoerm troupe had occupied the
place. AS formidable a lot of grid war
riors as ever came to Washington, they
appeared, albeit congenial.
Once settled, they had many ques-
tions to ask about the teams they are
TO meet. All seemed confident of VIC
tory, but conscious Of a trying struggle.
IN the meantime the ticket sale was
i progressing promisingly at the
stadium and at Spaidingis. with
pasteboards Scaled at $3.50, So and
$3.50 for adults and admissions TO the
cerlter-held bleacher at SO cents for
high school students.
Favorable weather Saturday is ex-
pected to bring out the seasons largest
attendance.

T<HERE seems to be chance that
the West Coast will not get to
see the South's two crack ends
in action-at least, not at their
best. Catfish Smith of Georgia has
been suffering from an attack of in
fiuenza, while Jerry Dalrymple, Tu-
lanes star, is now in the hospital and
may not be able to play again.
This isn't Southern California's fault,
but Smith and Dalrymple have been
leading factors in their teams big sea-
son, during which Tulane has won II
games. Only Tulane has beaten
Georgia.
The foot ball jinx has been at full
gallop all this season. Few teams have
escaped "the bludgeonings of chance"
Smith may be able to start but the
odds now are against Dalrymple. And
with all Tulane's speed and power, Tu--
lane needs Dalrymple, a great end and
an inspirational leader.
CHICK MEEHAN, president of the
W American Foot Ball Coaches AS
sociation and leader of New York
Universitys grid teams, in an interview
has outlined a plan which should be
popular with the myriad of friends OF the
pigskin game who at this season Of the
year must grid themselves against the
inevitable chant of overernphasis
Bluntly, Meehan lays the mounting
injuries and ills to the foot ball-min-
imizers, who have forced curta1ment
of Spring practice and shelled the
game from all angles, breaking down
the organization and expert direction
which are the great safeguards Tor
young athletes against injury.
pated by Princeton's agitators in re-
storing the prestige of Spring practice.
That's the time when the correct
methods of blocking, tackling and run
ming can be leisurely and painstak1ngly
taught. No man Is used when out OF
condition, the air is free OF tension,
and the scrimmages are carried on In
the non-hysterical spirit.
AS long as colleges permit an athlete
to play foot ball in the Fall and base
ball in the Spring, there should be no
complaint against Spring foot ball. 1t
takes no more time from study, and on
the positive side, as Meehan points out,
toughens the fiber and builds up morale
for the hectic Fall season. 1t Will not
be surprising if, in spite Of the concern
over injuries, the pendulum now swings
back to more Spring and early Fall
practice.
THE overlapping of the foot ball
l. season with the Winter sports
campaigns is more pronounced this
year than ever, due to the post-season
activity on the gridiron for charity.

Sandlot foot ball will do a complete
fadeout after this Sunday, when the
Fraters and Dixie Pigs win clash at
Seat Pleasant and the Centennials and

the last of the grid games.
The Frater-Dixie Pig game should
produce plenty TO look at, however. The
Fraters, by winning, can clinch the un-
limited championship of the Capital
City League, but they are sure to find
the Dixies stubborn foes. Though out

NEW YORK, December l0.-The

pardon for any impression emanat-
ing from previous number that the
Cadets were not enthusiastic about
the coming foot ball game.
Let 1t be said right here and now
that the second class staff does not
hold with the theory that the corps
is Indifferent to the Navy game" the
editorial says. There can never be
any indifference about Navy game
as long as there is a corps and a
service behind the team"
The editors close with this SEN
tence and pause for a reply:
THE corps compliments to the
regiment, and beg to state that We
can lick the socks of any Navy team
that ever stepped off battle wagon
or a tin fish"

miliarity with nautical terms, is

By Ronald Bean, Rake

In the olden days before the
 coming of the white people to Southeastern Alaska, the Native people lived according to then
 old customs. Most of the villag-
 es in this district, including
 Rake, were ruled by a local
 chief. Chief Tom was the last of
 these men who ruled the people
 of Rake.
 The people made "moCnshine" in their homes, were drunk al
 most every day, and sometimes
 they had terrible fights.
 { During these days a mission
 ary by the name of Moon W. sent here Sometimes when N
 Moon and Jimmie Coffin wou
 go through the houses preachir 2nd praying with the peopl they would get thrown oua,
 which shows how bad the peep }
 were when the old customs we } among them. On Sundays whcl he would ring the Church be i some of the people would go to
 church while drunk. When
 church was over the pe0r,e would go home and give feas 5 and spend a lot of money and get drunk again.
 Finally, his preaching ant praying began to take effect on the people and they commenced to see how foolish it was 10 spend all their money on such things as funerals. potlatches, land drink just to show off.
 In 1910 there were no board walks in Rake; graves and to- tenn poles were scattered all through the town, and it was in such an unsanitary condition that the people were always sick. That year Charles Gunnock, a Native was given federal power as a policeman. With this au- thOrity he influenced the peo- pie to move the graves for sani- tary reasons. This was the first step taken at Rake to change from the old to the new life. They dug up all the collins ana burned them up, totems and all. Some of the people were against this, but the leaders did not lis ten to them and stuck to their job until it was cleaned up.
 In 1913 Haynes DeWitte, Chas. Gunnock, John Howard, Pat Cooday and Dan Skeenay, all Natives, decided to organize a government and to educate the people to better ideas. Thus on October, 1913, without any out
