ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 23.-William
and Mary, which has helped the
Navy start its football season regu-
larly for the last nine years and
been its opponent in four other
contests, will occupy its regular role
when the MILDLY team has its OPEN
ing contest here next Saturday.
The Navy team of this season,
having added Clemson to its sched-
ule, has found itself with seven
strong opponents, instead OF the
usual six, and the local contingent
is by no means certain that the list
will not be extended to eight by Vir-
ginia, always dangerous to the Navy.
Cavaliers give Navy its second game
on October Z.
Larson Has Only Two Aides.
Maj. Emery Larson OF the Marine
Corps, in his first year as head foot
ball coach at Annapolis, has stuck
to the single-wing back formation,
with numerous variations in details,
however, and, in the main, to the
other lines of play which have been
in use.
The new coach has, however, made
important changes in the routine of
practice. Edgar Rip) Miller and
Keith Molesworth, for the line and
backfleld, respectively, are the only
assistants with the varsity.
Maj. Larson also has made an
early selection of a tentative first
choice varsity. Within four days
after the opening of practice the
coach assembled this varsity:
Left end, Hal Hanson; left tackle,
AL Bergner Captain; left guard,
Tom McGrath; center, Hal Har-
wood; right guard, Bex Trimble;
right tackle, Dick Opp; right end,
Lou Burke: quarterback, Ed Gillette:
left halt, Emmett Wood; right half,
Monty Whitehead; fullback, Cliff
Lenz.
Counts on Wood and Lenz.
The team is heavy, averaging
1877 g. II pounds. The average of
the line is 206 4-7, and may be
heavier at times.
Navy is counting heavily upon
the ball-carrying ability of Emmett
Wood and Cliff Lenz, and both also
are being considered to succeed Lem
Cooke as the passer of the first back
held. Ralph Anderson, a senior, and
Bob Leonard, from the plebes of last
year. are also doing good tossing.
After meeting William and Mary
at Annapolis the Navy team starts
its big series with Dartmouth in
the Baltimore Stadium on Octo-
Der IA; Notre Dame, at Cleveland:
Clemson. at Annapolis; Pennsyl-
vania, at Philadelphia, and Colum-
bia, at Annapolis, follow in a row.
The team will have its layoff be-
tween the Columbia game, Novem-
ber II. and the game with Princeton
at Princeton, on November Is. but
Will play the Army, in the Philadel-
phla Municipal Stadium, a week

CRUEL ACT OF KINDNESS

Caution in applying immigration formulas to
the economic salvation of Alaska is urged edtorally
by the Cincinnati Enquirer in commenting on the
Slattery report
The plan, even if it worked as we'll is hoped
by the Interior Department would be only partial
solution to the European refugee problem the news
paper says.
The United States should guard against what
might be "a cruel act of kindness in rescuing people
from political social persecution and setting them
down part of the world where they would not be
able to make living, the newspaper
question mark is placed by the Enquirer after the
title IAN Alaskan Haven?" The editorial is as follows
"A 94-page pamphlet entitled The Problem of
Alaskan Development prepared by the Department
of the Interior discusses engagngly the possibility of
making Alaska haven for European refugees with
mutually beneficial results
"As the pamphlet points out Alaska has extensive
and almost entirely unexploed resources. It's popu-
lation density in 1880 only one-tenth of person
per square mile The present commercial interests in
the Territory meager and hardly start has been
made upon agricultural development Physically, AL
aska is comparable to the Scandinavian countries
where 100000 people live yet the American territory
in 1880 had population few short of 10000.
THE Department of the Interior approaches the
subject from the standpoint of the desirability of
veoping Alaska and suggests that the purpose could
be served by the immigration of unemployed Americans
and dispossessed Europeans. The study not adj
vanced specifically solution to the refugee problem
However promising the plan sounds, it offers, at
best only partial solution of the perplexng refugee
problem Nor is it one to be accepted at face value
without careful study of its possible consequences
four years the Federal Government has been expert
menting with the Matanuska colony, without results
conclusive enough to establish the practicabty of
arge-scale colonization of the Territory by under
privileged Americans. That suggests caution in pro-
ceedng toward complicated plan for colonization of
economic racial and political refugees where differ
ences of environment and tongue would be added to
those of simple physical adaptabity. The United
States should not advance Alaska haven for refu-
gees without knowing certainly that the arrangement
is practicable 1t must guard against what might be
cruel act of kindness. Further study of the Depart
ment OF Interior plan should proceed with that thought
in mind"

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER

This is day of fair promise. There
is encouragement for initiative in
business affairs, but caution should
be exercised to avoid deception. 1t
is not a lucky date for signing con-
tracts. Erroneous judgments will pre-
vail and cause trouble in national
and international affairs.
HEART AND HOME: An unfa-
vorable day for love affairs, because
deception may be successful. Letters
should be restrained and conven-
tional under this sway which makes
misapprehension likely. Members of
the family should avoid a critical
attitude of mind and should watch
their words, for they may discour-
age important plans.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS; The early
autumn should be prosperous for
business men and for those in the
learned professions. Lawyers will
have increased business, especially
cases involving frauds or sharp prac-
tees. Thrift is enjoined on all per-
sons. Large holdings of real estate
should be reduced.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussions
regarding initiation and banking
policies will engender much differ
ence of opinion. Third term agitation
Tor the Presirent will gain support
ers. Secret information will cause
he administra ton to emphasize de-
tense measures and the Pacific Coast
will provide a sensation at an early
date.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Hitler is to have two years more of
power. according to the seers. He
will meet a great crisis in the spring
Of 1941, if not before, it is forecast.
Spectacular and sudden coups will
continue to mark his policies. He
will have the reluctant aid of Mus
solini, who will be as cautious as
possible. &c
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of moderate
good fortune but litigation should
be avoided. Women should try to be
less personal in their points of view.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be extremely active and
industrious, Subjects of this sign
have quick tempers that should be
firmly controlled

ST. LAWRENCE
BROWN BEAR
MYTH PROVED
Eskimo Herder Shoots Biq
Brownie on Island
Sends Hide Here

A recurring but heretofore pooh
poohed report, that brown beal
had been seen on st. Lawrence Is
land, was proved to be fact yes
terday.
Conclusive proof was brought tc
town by the Office of Indian At
fairs vessel Boxer which delivered
to the Alaska Game Commits sion
the skeleton and hide of big
brownie shot last May 20 at the
east end of st. Lawrence Island
by Sepellu, chief reindeer herder
at Savoonga.
st. Lawrence Island lies in Ber-
ing Sea. As miles from Siberia ard
100 miles from the Alaska coast.
How the bear got to the island is
a very neat question. The only
bears previously known to inhabIt
st. Lawrence were polar bears.
Asiatic Species
Executive Officer Frank Du-
fresno of the Game Commission
said he had examined the hide of
the st. Lawrence brown bear and
found it to differ from any he
had ever seen in Alaska. He be-
lieves it to be an Asiatic species.
The hide measures eight feet
square, good sized" brownie.
The Eskimo Sepellu reported the
bear was shot near the fawning
camp and that deer meat was
found in the bears stomach. Du-
fresno said the Eskimos did an
excellent job of preserving the hide
and bones They are being dried
out here preparatory to shipping
to Washington to be compared by
the Bureau of Biological Survey
with other species to determine the
origin of the brownie, if possible.

While in Juneau, Ross met
George Pendo, Assistant Mine Fore

his wife. is visiting Mrs. Pendos

Mrs. Martin Lavenik.
Ross, making his first trip to

This is the most beautiful
country I've ever SEEN" he. de-
clared emphatically, adding, And
I've been over lot of country in
both the United States and Can
