In Action

For the first time in the his
tory of athletic relationships with
st. Johns College, Walter Young
ano his Eagles feel confident Of
victory on Saturday.
The American University grid
ders have achieved a new all-time
peak in spirit with the latest dec.
laration, for the Johnnies proved
that they are a strong machine
when they defeated the Yellow
Jackets of Randolph-Macon last
Saturday in startling upset.
Young and his entire squad
journeyed the lis miles to the
game at Richmond and what they
saw was hard-hitting, cool-headed
group of veterans trim the Yellow
Jackets. 1t was a wonderful oppor-
unity to scout and probably one
of the greatest Jobs Of mass scout
ing ever known, but instead Of
being dismayed at the evidence
of Johnny power, they were appar.
emily pleased.
Not Weakened
Man for man, the Eagles match
the Johnnies in both experience
and weight. For the first time in
two seasons Of expected victories,
the Eagles are not weakened by
injuries and ineligibility. Every
man on the squad is in readiness,
and the return of some injured
members has given Young the
opportunity to make changes to
bolster his line.
Joe Carlo, captain and for two
years a tackle. has been moved
to guard position. This is where
Young has desired to put the
Italian youth since his start with
the Eagles, for he is too light for
a tackle, though until now the
best available. Pete Stink, how

Freshmen Ends
The ends will both be fresh
men, but both have demonstrated
ability that will make them the
greatest in Eagle history. They
are two Long Island youths-Dud
Rogers and George Brown. Kim
Der Shoop, out Of the seasons
opener, will be at the other tackle.

REAR ADM|RA
 CRAVEN PLEASED BY IT RRIT0RY
Head of 18th Naval District Describes Alaska Coast
 line as Vital

Much impressed with his first visit to Alaska, Rear Admiral T. T. Craven, United States Navy, Com manding Officer of the 18th Naval District and Commandant of the Puget Sound Navy Yard at Brem- erton, Washington, accompanied by his aide, Lieut.. F. P. Old passed through Juneau this morning on the Alaska, enroute from Cordova to Seattle.
 Rear Admiral Craven stated that he believes the Matanuska coioniza-- tion project to be "step in the right direction" Increased popu- lation. particularly ar influx of youth, is necessary, he said, to the development of the Territory.
 The present trip of Rear-Admiral Craven, the first visit to the Terri tory by any commanding officer of the 18th Naval District, took him to Seward, Anchorage, Matanuska, Dutch Harbor, Kodiak and St. Paul Island.
 The Admiral arrived in Juneau on April 28, aboard the Alaska, and made the trip to the westward as a passenger on the mine sweeper swallow, rejoining the Alaska southbound at Cordova, where a radio party from the mine sweeper at present is engaged in work at the radio station.
 q think commandants should make more frequent visits to the Territory" declared the Admiral, explaining, Tt is a very vital point in our coastline and the study Of peacetime transportation, and such problems as might arise in time of trouble. are worthy the attention of the navy. I am glad to see the in- creasing interest in Alaska on the part of the Navy Department which has become evident during the past three or four years"
 Admiral Craven reported that, ac- cording to information available at the time of his departure from Seattle, several naval vessels VIII visit Alaskan ports during the latter part of July.
 The Admiral evidenced consider able interest in the fact that the early Russian settlers sought the flat places while American pioneers reached for the high mountains. This is probably because the Rus sians were interested primarily in fish and skins whereas the Ameri- cans chief interest was minerals, ' he said.
 Both officers commented on the excellent weather to which they at tributed much of the pleasure of their voyage.

 Trial for Murder

MOSCOW, May 18.-The so-called little dictator of Wrangell Island, territory in the Soviet Arctic, went on trial today for his life before the Supreme Court here charged with starving the Eskimos, and mur- dering a member of Polar expe- dition.

Semenchuk, administrator of the Wrangell Polar station, who during the winter of last year, made hu- mans drag dog sled.

Wulfson who died on trip to Barren Point Blason Marks of violence were found on the body.

 M s. Babusenkin, noted Soviet Arctic flier is acting as special assistant to the judge during the trial.
