Trojans To Get
Great Welcome

LOS ANGELES, Nov. %. U.P)-
Southern California To-Day planned
a great celebration for the team
that defeated Notre Dame Saturday.
Details Of the homecoming re-
ception have not been worked out
completely, but thousands of Tro-
jan enthusiasts-headed by Mayor
John Porter, various other civic dig
nitaries and perhaps Governor
Roiph-were preparing to meet the
train that brings the team back.
The cheering enthusiasts will
have in mind mostly that a possible
national championship awaits
Southern California, that the Troj-
pms came from behind to win and
that the popular Johnny Baker
wrecked a personal vengeance on
Notre Dame.

L0yOla Defeats
Olympic Team

LOS ANGELEg, Nov %. UP
The San Francisco Olympic club
had tasted one OF its few defeats OF
the season today, because Loyola
University took advantage of its
weakness in reserves and pounded
out ID to 0 victory Saturday night.
A good portion of the Winged-O
team had been sent to Honolulu to
meet an island team next week, Sc
the squad which faced the Lions
lacked its usual good punch. Bill
Brosseau scored the Lions first
touchdown in the first quarter
when he crashed over center, and
Sullivan kicked goal.
Euge, Loyola halfback, paved the
way to the second score in the next
period when ne ran 10 yards from
scrimmagc to the Olympic 15-yard
line from where Pheasant plunged
over on five attempts.

Centric iourned to Inglewood and
was defeated on q muddy field Is
to 0.
Last year e. Centre went to Fs-
condidC for q Southern California
playoff, winning 20 to 6. By these

PROVES
MAT SKILL

Local wrestling fans were today
clamoring for a match between
Dick Shikat and Jimmya Londos
or shikat and Karl Pojello at the
washington Auditorium.
shikat proved to the satisfac-
ton of approximately $500 fans
at the Auditorium last night that
he has lost none of his own skill
when he threw Ray Steele in 81
minutes with a series Of body
slams and flying mares.
It was q fast bout, loaded
with action and thrills. Both
grappIers were at their best and
the fans went home satisfied.
Shikat succeeded in breaking
the strongest holds of his rival
and also withStOOd his hardest
punches.
There were several damaging
elbow and open-hand blows de-
livered by both men and neither
collapsed to the mat. During
one hot mix-up the matmen stood
toe-to-toe and exchanged singing
jolts. This brought the fans to
their feet.
After nearly an hour had
elapsed Steele began to weaken
and Shikat's better condition was
telling. Steele couldn't recover
quick enough from Shikat'S tight
headlocks, flying mares and body
slams. Finally, after Shikat had
used all these holds for about 10
minutes, he tossed Steele heavily
to the padded floor to end the
duel.
The most excitement among
the preliminaries was furnish ed
when "Tigah" Nelson and Ref
cree Bennie BOrtnick exchanged

Find New Means
 of Fire Protection

Residents of Hyder, B. C., have discovered a new means of water storage for fire pro- lection in the shape of cisterns situated on the bluff overlook ing the Hyder- Stewart road. Joe Moran and Jim Outfit are credited with the discovery that water storage pits may be easily sunk in what appears to be a peculiar decomposed rock deposit on the rocky bench overlooking the road. The material is said to be soft enough to be easily dug but will hold water. They recent ly completed a reservoir of this character opposite the Crescent Rooms which is cap able of holding several thou sand gallons of water Water from springs and rain flowing down the higher hillside is sufficient to keep the cistern filled. The stored water pip ed to the Crescent building, has a fall of about 150 feet, a sufficient head to be very effective in case of fire.
 Alex Frazer, owner of the Frazer Hotel, is planning to construct another and larger cistern opposite his establish ment and other property own CTS along the road are said to be contemplating similar ac- tiOn.

ID URGE EARLY
 CONSTRUCTION OF
 HIGHWAY BRANCH

A special meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce has been called for W ednes- day evening with the object of furthering the early construct ion of the proposed branch of the projected International Highway to Stewart and Ny der.
 The meeting will be attended by representatives of the Stew art Board of Trade, who will present proposals for jcint ac- ton by the two bodies aimed at securing the cooperation of the two Canadian steamship lines and also for enlisting the support of Vancouver in hav- ing a local branch of the big highway built as soon as pos sible.
 It is pointed out that a branch road to Stewart and Hyder will provide an opportunity for thousands of auto tourists tc visit Alaska long before north ward extensions of the high. way to other parts of the Ter fitory could be completed. This would be of vast benefit to Vancouver and other Canad- ian towns along the highway route and should be a strong incentive for their cooperation in getting the short route to Alaska under way as soon as possible.

STEAMER PASSENGER
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Walter Mckenzie, a passen- ger from AnyoX, on board the Canadian National steamer Prince George, slashed his throat with a razor in a suicide attempt while the steamer was docking at the Stewart wharf Thursday morning. In addition to cutting himself three times across the throat, Mckenzie also slashed one wrist.
 Following his grisly act, which occurred in his state room, Mckenzie rang the bell for the steward before he fell to the floor unconscious. Re spending to the call, one of the cabin boys found the man GOV cred with blood from his wounds and the room resem- bling a shambles. Dr. Whillans was summoned from Stewart and found the man in a critical condition and ordered him to the hospital.
 On regaining consciousness in the hospital Mckenzie would not discuss his rash act but said he wanted to see his father, who is a resident Of Smithers, B. c. Mckenzie, who is about 30 years of age, is believed to have chance for recovery. He is said to have been in Anyox for about five weeks but could not obtain work until a few days ago. He was apparently enroute to Smithers at the time of his rash act, which appears to have been done in fit of des- pondency.
 As attempted suicide is punishable as a law infraction in Canada, Mckenzie is held in custody by Constable Pot terton and is guarded day and night in the hospital pending the outcome of his injuries.

New U. s. Marshal Arrives

Speculation regarding the identity of the next incumbent of the local office of the Unit ed States Marshal was set al rest Thursday with the arrival of Warren s. Harding from Juneau to take over the duties of the office, recently vacated by Donald E. Martin, who was transferred to the main office at Juneau.
 MT. Harding is an old-time Alaskan peace officer, with many years of experience as deputy U. s. Marshal and special agent for the national prohibition enforcement de- partment in the territory. He also has held the position oi chief of police of Juneau. Dur ing his years in Alaska MT, Harding has visited over 9 large part of the territory be- tween Nome and Juneau and is a real Alaskan in every re- spect. The writer has known the new deputy marshal by reputation for many years and is of the opinion that United States Marshal White could not have selected a better of ficer for the local position.

Chamber Commerce Launches
 Highway Branch Campaign

A new plan for advertising the Pacific Yukon Alaska Highway project and showing that Hyder is the first Alaska town that may be made access sible to tourist travel by a short branch road was launched by the Hyder Chamber of Con- merce when the Herald job printing department completed the printing of a quantity of envelopes for that body, each bearing on the reverse side a two-color map of the High way route, showing the proX- unity of Hyder and Stewart and bearing the caption: "Hy- der the first Alaska town on he International Highway by 500 miles"
 The location of Hyder and Che Highway are shown in red and the map, which displays 2 large section of the upper British Columbia and Alaska coast lines, was reproduced from the official map issued by the United States Internation- al Highway Commission.
 To secure the widest possible publicity through the medium of the map, the Chamber of Commerce has authorized the Herald to make use of the plates in printing stationery for local business houses and others. Virtually every busi- ness in Hyder has ordered a supply of stationery bearing the map.

 Plans Early Action

Early commencement of con- struction activities by the Port land Canal Power Company on its Davis River power project is indicated by Edwin R. Wright, resident engineer of the company, in a letter to Oren F. Hill received here Thursday.
 The message, written at Seattle April IT, states that the company is assembling materials for the coming con- struction activities. The letter gives no indication regarding the probable time of starting, although intimating that the decision is awaiting the return of MT. Willis T. Batcheller, president of the company, from the east.
 MT. Wright also dislosed the intention of the company to employ as many local men as possible on the construction work by inquiring as to the probable number that will be available.
