Million to Witness Football Tomorrow
ARMY-IRISH TOP
TASTY GRID CARD
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Oct. % Q.N.S).
Uncle Sans nephews and nieceS
will turn out a million strong to-
morrow to view the snappiest edi-
ton of the football follies we have
seen in years.
The late Flo Ziegfeld undoubt-
edly would have awarded top bill
ing to the Fordham-Pitt act on
the Pittsburgh stage, where the
rambunctious Ram will try to grab
the national spotlight by lifting
the most coveted prize on the grid
iron, the Panther pelt.
Pitt may have the greatest team
in the land. 1t may even be as
good as old Pop Warner says, and
he rates it the best college team
he ever saw. Therefore, on form,
we must pick Pitt. Still there is
no law to prevent us taking q
small piece of that 4-to-1 the books
are laying against Fordham today.
GRUELLING TILT
Right here in the home of the
Yankees the Army and Notre
Dame will stage their silver jubi.
lee meeting and we must string
with the Irish, although we ex-
pect the game to be as gruelling
and close as usual.
Columbia and Cornell also have
quite party planned, but here
we are picking frenzied Colun-
bia team, promising to win for
their injured captain, upset the
favored powerhouse from Ithaca.
Holy Cross and Colgate figure
closer than the hairs on your
head, but we are giving the Cru.
saders a razor edge because Of
their superior speed in the back
field.
We are also going slightly out
on a. limb by picking oft-beaten
Harvard to upset Princeton. The
Crimson showed improvement
against Army and put up a whale
Of a fight against Dartmouth.
Dartmouth, of course, must be
picked to trim Yale despite the
threat of Yale's passes.
Ohio State should trample the
wilted Violets of N. Y. u, Syracuse
figures to outscore Penn State,
and, in one of the toughest picks
Of the day, we are giving a slight
margin to Navy over Penn.
The Minnesota-No Northwestern af.
fair is the headliner in the Mid
West. This one might easily end
in q deadlock, but we are inclined
to give nod to Minnesota on the
chance that Van Every's passes
may click.
Michigan State is strong, but
hardly strong enough to spoil
Santa Clara's unbeaten record.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Elmer
Layden's comment on the prob

EAST-The top-line game is
Pitt VS.. Fordham. Look for a
period in the 90 tradition.
Fordham without blocks of gran
lite and with Sophomore Len
Eshmont (apple Of Jim Crow

more to the offensive side Of
the game. Rams will give
Panther battle of the year, but
Pitts power and passes will be
too much.

VAST CONTRAST
Looking over the form Of these
champions, one sees a vast con-
trast in the way these two horses
have been handled.
The Admiral has been carefully
trained and campaigned; for his
qualities were evidently recognized
during his breaking days, and
George Conway trained him with
the expectations of duplicating the

Three Firms Ask for Speci hcations on New Craft

WASHINGTON, Jan. l. = Pros poets for a revival Of the West Coast long dormant ship building industry is brighter in the eyes of the Maritime Commission.
 A most encouraging sign, one of ficial said, was the fact that three coast concerns have asked for speci- fications for twelve fast cargo ves- sells which the commission will build as part of the replacement program to rehabilitate the nations merchant fleet.
 Members of the Maritime Com mission expressed hope that some vessels would be built on the Pa cific Coast.
 Bids on the new ships will be opened in Washington on Feb ruary 1

Fur shipped from Alaska in 1857 reached total value of $2,285, ,710.70, an increase of $379, 9,97l 95 over 1886, according to figures for the year compiled by the Alaska Game Con- mission.
 The gain in fur shipment was due in large measure to the open season on marten, according to Executive Officer Frank Dufresne, of the Con- mission, who pointed out there were 16,969 marten belts taken valued at $27.35 each, or total of $464 ,102 50,
 Considerable increase was noted in the number of blue fox taken, the total being 10,034 compared with 9,026 skins in 1886
 Muskrat also showed a gain from ,153,772 pelts in 1886 to 23l, ,842 in 1937.
 The take of coyotes was the larg- est ever recorded in the Territory A total of ,230 skins. Since the

first showing of coyote in Alaska in 1925, when 61 were taken, there has been steady upward trend, Du- fresne said.
 Despite the large output, there was a slight falling off in the price range, and the Executive Officer said that though indications for 1888 point to a large catch, it is believed now that the continued slump in prices will more than offset the in crease in catch.
 Most encouraging note for the new year, Dufresne said, is the opening of the season on beaver throughout nearly all of Alaska which, it is es- timated, will mean the taking of some 35,000 pelts. The average price during the last year on beaver was $14.
