Navy. recording its first victory over

plete teams against the plucky sons
Of Eli today to crush them, 81 to O..
One statistic. the number OF first
downs, tells the story. Navy rolled
off II and Yale l. The exhibition
left the seasons record throng of
47,oOO, including TOO wildly cheering
midshipmen, pop-eyed as they
poured out of the wnd-swept bowl.
Leading the victor's onslaught
were Ray Busik, despite trouble

Cameron. John McTigue and
Howard Clark.
Navy tailed its first two touch
downs on brilliantly executed for
ward passes. BuSik to LEM. in the
opening period and Clark to Nc
Tigue in the second session. The
final score was made on spectac-
ular 35-yard sprint by Cameron in
the third quarter. Vito Vitucci and
Sam Boothe converted the extra
points for placement.
Navy Varies Play.
And if it wasn't for some excellent
punting. including one that Travelled
II yards in the air and along the
ground, by Hovey Seymour and a
timely tackle by Cape Burnam of
Yale. there's no doubt the score
would have been higher.
The future admirals showed some
excellent strategy. First they
knocked their foes groggy with their
power. Then they flashed their
BOGUS pucus and mousetraps which

Unleashing a crushing second half
offensive, favored Lafayette made
battered Army its fifth victim of
an undefeated and united season
today, 1910.
Most of the 10000 fans had
started to leave Niche Stadium
when Jimmy Farrell, senior half

intended for Ernie White and
dashed SO yards for a touchdown.
There was only 20 seconds of play
left. Capt. George Meyer con-
verted from placement.
Farrell's brilliant run back
followed by only a minute his s.
yard sweep around left end for
the Leopard's second touchdown.
Meyer and Farrell took turns toting
the ball nearer the Army goal after
Lafayette held for downs at mid
field.
Lafayette'S first score came mid
way in the third period. Walt
Zirinsky broke loose for 24-yard
run to the Army 1-yard line. after
seven would-be tacklerS had laid
their hands on him. Two line plays
failed, but on the third try. Zirinsky
plunged for the touchdown from
the 1-inch line His extra point
placement kick was wide.
Army offered little resistance as
the Lafayette powerhouSe got up
steam. Hank Mazur's long distance
and coffin corner punting pulled the
Kaydets out of many spots, but he
was not the same player who earned
Army a tie in his debut against
Harvard last week.

sia is able to supply them. Ac- cumulated stocks of minerals in Germany are estimated not to exceed supplies for six months. There is no telling of course how far substitution may enable Ger many to prolong the war beyond the limit of her present resourc- eS but the end must inevitable be the same.
 Dr. Leith makes the statement that a probable outcome of the war will be an extension of pub lie control of mineral resources both national and international. This is a purely academic point of view of course and must be weighed from much the same point of view as the question of an international police force to keep the nations in order after the war. It would appear reason able however to expect that the countries that posses the greatest wealth of mineral resources should command a high degree of influence in shaping the course of post war events.

Smart Dog Saves Rangers Life

MCKINLEY PARK, Jan. 27 - Ranger John Rumohr's life was saved by his lead dog, Tige when the river ice broke during a re- cent patrol in Mt. Mckinley Ma tional Park. The district ranger sent the following report to Park Superintendent Frank T Been, who considers Rumohr one of the most thoroughly experienced dog team drivers in Alaska.
 The river ice was good ex cept in a few places on Toklat and about 10 miles up the Clear water where the water was so deep in the snow that l decided not to return to the ranger sta tion that way.
 "On Tokla the overflow was bad about eight miles above the patrol station and seven miles further up the river was another bad place.
 Here I was in serious trouble. Breaking through the ice over a deep channel where I could reach no bottom by sounding with my eightfoot geepole, the dogs had to swim to get the sled out. What really saved my life was Tige. The dog had been sick and I was not using him in the team, but let him follow behind. While l was working with the sled he managed to get up ahead of the team and really coaxed them along.
 The sled f1oated but with me standing on the runners sank down behind until the water vas coming through the front of my pants. But it kept the nose of the sled from catching under the ice. It was quite a struggle, for we had about 100 feet to go before We reached solid ice.
 The dogs never would have made it if Tige had not been ahead of them. Whenever he came to a place where the ice would carry him he would turn to the team, cry little and wag his tail. That would put new spirit in them and they would struggle ahead even if the ice broke under them.
 q hope Tige will get a long life. He earned it that day. managed to change into dry clo- thes without freezing myself"
 Ranger Rumohr's modest use of i've" is reminiscent of another Norseman who made that appela ton famous.

METALS WILL WIN WAR" ALASKA ANGLE

Recent press dispatches to the effect the Allied powers will put pressure on Rumania to prevent oil shipments from that country into Germany, threatened to break off diplomatic relations if compliance was not forthcoming, is a direct confirmation of the i'm portance attached to recent ut teranceS of economic authorities to the effect that the nations con trolling the raw materials and es pecially minerals and oils of the world will be triumphant in the world crisis.
 Mine products which are con Strued to include oil are para mount. Alaska with her undoubt- ed extensive latent deposits of es sential wartime minerals is no minor factor in the situation, es- pecially so far as America is con cerned.
 The last session of congress, which set aside some $44,O0O, 900 for development of strategic and critical minerals and supplies, committed the research task to the Bureau of Mines and Geo logical Department which now is testing many submarginal proper ties in various States and Territ- ories. Alaska should work to see that she gets her share of at tention in this program.
 Sheer weight of metal' will win the war for the Allies. ac- 'cording to Dr C K Leith, chair man of the Minerals and Metals Advisory Committee to the As slstant Secretary of War at Wash ington. Dr Leith declares that unless there is social or polit- acal break in the Allies front or unless Germany can wrest con trol of the seas from France and Great Britain, the ultimate deci- sion will be with the "inexorable pressure of raw material sane tons"
 With metals as the primary force on the allied war front it is interesting to note the points which Dr. Leith makes in dis cuSsing this question.
 'Gemany's most critical needs are oil, copper and iron while there are marked deficiencies of Nickel and tin. None of the bulk minerals can be secured in suffic tent quantities from any country to the east and not even Ger many's new friend and ally. Rus
