ANCHORAGE MINERS ARE
 LED A5TRAY
False Report Regarding Priorities Creates
 Small Panic

B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com missioner of the Department of Mines, received two telegrams to- day, indicating that false report that all mines in the Territory had lost their priority ratings had caused a small panic in Anchorage:
 The Anchorage Chamber of Com merce, in it's wire, said that the move meant a "ruination of the community" and urged MT. Stewart to take steps toward regaining pref erence ratings for mines The other wire was from the Departments representative at Anchorage.
 MT. Stewart said the report evil dently had started when gold lode operators last week were informed that their preference ratings had been lowered to the same level as held by placer operators-A-10
 MT. Stewart immediately sent re- turn wires, explaining the situation. The new rating is the same that is enjoyed by steamship and railroad companies and most governmental agencies.
 All Territorial mines engaged in mining strategic minerals, still re- ceive their former high preference rating. The new order also pro- vides that gold mines may in emer- genoies apply for higher ratings for certain materials.

Wide World Photo.

One day a bum and the next day
a hero is the way Washington
hockey colony is rating Goalie Craig

receiving end of loud boos only last
Tuesday when the Eagles went down
before the New York Rovers, 11-3
McClelland the next night found all
was forgiven when he turned in
really brilliant performance by stop
ping the Baltimore Orioles, Al.
He gets a chance tonight to con-
tinue as a hero when he takes his
post in the nets against the Johns
town Bluebirds, club with a real
jinx for the Eagles, at Riverside
Stadium. This Is the only team in the
whole Eastern League over which
McClelland can't claim victory.
In fact, the Eagles have won over
the Birds only once In seven games.
One ended in tie.
Tonight's game easily could be a
battle of goalies because the Blue
birds carry with them one of the real
Eastern League stars in Goalie
Frank Ceryance, who has an especial
knack of stopping Washington
drives. Even with the Baltimore
Orioles two seasons ago he was a
special pain to the Eagles and is
responsible more than anything else
for the third-place rating currently
enjoyed by Johnstown.
Aside from Ceryance, Hank Dyck,
Johnstown forward, also figures to be
in the Eagles way tonight and rates
third among the leagues scoring
leaders.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Jan. 30.-In
vast Memorial Stadium, built during
the pre-Grange era of Bob Zuppke-
coached Illini football teams,
Zuppke pupil named Ray Eliot will
direct the University Of Illinois
gridders next fall.
With spring football drills sched-
uled to begin shortly, Eliot today
plunged into his new duties with
the declaration:
I'VE will start right away to get
things in shape for next fall. We
have a great bunch of kids who
love to play football, and it's going
to be our job to mold them into a
real team"
Just years old when Zuppke
began his 29-season reign here in
1913, Eliot held the position of line
coach when his appointment was
announced yesterday.
There was elation on the campus
at the sudden announcement, for
presumably it meant the end of
four-year period of athletic wrang-
ling. The 72-day coach hunt came
to q conclusion when members of
the Athletic Board agreed on Eliot.
In some corners both Illini and
non-Illini inquired: who's Elliott"
Part of the explanation for his
relative obscurity is the fact he
went through school as Ray Nuss-
pickel, adopting the name Eliot only
a few years ago.
Many Illinois graduates recalled
the Ray Nusspickel, who, despite the
handicap Of glasses, played on the
football teams Of 1880 and 1881 and

pionship at that. But it should be
carried on just the same.
Should Invite Publinx Boys.
To make it true District OF Co.
lumbia championship the solons OF
the game would do good job to
invite the winner and runner-up IN
the public links championship OF
this year to compete in the District
title tourney, if they change their
minds and hold the eventc 1t isn't
likely a. public links lad would win
the tournament. Dick Jennings, the
reigning public links champ, has
not yet proven that he can win
tournaments against the best of the
private club group. And Dick Is (or
was in 194D the best OF the boys
playing public links golf.
The point is that the public links
lads should have shot at the Dis
trict title. They've been denied that
shot q long time. There have been
vague questions as to what will
happen to our championship cup If
a public links player wins it?" and
so on. The championship cup, if a
public links golfer won it, wouldn't
have to 60 to East Potomac Park or
Rock Creek Park or anywhere else.
It could be held by the secretary Of
the association.
Public links golfers, by and large,
play the pay-as-you-play courses
because they cannot stand the ex-
pense OF golf at a private club. But
that does not mean they are any less
golfers or good sportsmen. We know
of many men who play public links
golf who can we'll afford to belong
to country clubs, and some who
play the public layouts who do be-
long to private clubs.
But generally the boys who use
those courses do so because the
nut" of country club golf is a little
high for slim purses. That, in our
book, doesn't make them pariahs,
or men not worthy of playing in the
District championship. They should
get boost up the ladder. And how
they would appreciate the chance
to play in the title tournament!

It did about as we'll as I expected" !"
he commented.
Herman said he had heard of the
controversy over whether the Dodg-
ers should train again in Cuba, but
added he was not worried by any
thought Of danger.
II like it in Havana. I don't care
whether we go by boat or by plane
and in fact the boat trip might be
more interesting right now" he said.
"I weigh 1873 pounds with my
clothes on and feel fine. My back is
perfectly all right. 1t gave me a
little trouble for few weeks after
the series, but up till the middle Of
December did a lot of hunting and
walking and worked the trouble out.
Since then I've been doing a lot of
ice skating and playing basket ball
around home"
Herman twisted his back in the
fourth game of the World Series
and his absence from the lineup in
the last game gave the Dodgers an
added handicap in their final stand
against the Yankees.
His home is near Louisville and he
reported that Shortstop Peewee
Reese is just as "enthused" as he
for the start of the baseball season.
Reese is expected in Brooklyn in a
couple of weeks to sign contract.

By the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 3d.
Coach Bernie Moore already has
called his 1912 L. S. U. football team
together for Spring" practice, and
If some of the boys are drafted be-
fore fall-wen, they'll be in condi-
ton to fight, anyhow.
Serious work will start Monday
and end March 18-three days be-
fore spring actually arrives.
I'VE have q coaching staff capable
Of handling the present squad so we
plan to 60 ahead as usual" said
Bernie. 'If we lose some men after
we get started it won't be waste
of time because We'll have con-
ditioned these men for Army and
Navy life"
Already the Army has taken L. S.
us trainer, C. F. Striplin, and
George Schwab. manager Of the
fieldhouse, who were first lieutenants
in the Reserve.
Even without the draft, Bernie
will have to do some patching to
make up a team. About seven Of

However, an outstanding fresh

Ex-Open Champion Plays
In Lower Group Today;
Sturs Stort Tomorrow
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Eports Writer

RANCHO SANTA FE, Calf, Jan.
30-Golfs cycle of luck has an odd
way of turning. That's why Ralph
Guldahl leads an array of less re-
nowned players into the first round
of the S. 900 Bing Crosby Golf Tour
nament today.
The overcrowded entry list was
split, the first division playing its
18 holes today and the second half
going out tomorrow in this sixth
annual links battle.
Saturday being a better day for
attendance, the name players, in
cluding Defending Champion Sam
Snead, Benny Hogan, Byron Nelson
and company, swing into action to-
morrow.
Still Out to Regain Stride.
Guldahl goes today, but whirl that
cycle of luck back to 1887 and 1898
and you'd find the National Open
champion of those consecutive years
a star studded registrant in the spe-
cial attraction class.
The tall, slope -shouldered fellow
from Texas has shown but infre-
quent flashes of the Guldahl of
Oakmont Country Club in Michigan
in 1887, and it's been many months
since he's looked the same perfec-
ZIONIST who plodded to repeat
Open triumph at Denver's Cherry
Hills.
He labored years in obscurity be-
fore reaching that peak, however,
and there Is no reason to believe he
won't regain his stride.
He could do it in this tournament,
because he's playing over a course
he adopted two years ago when he
bought a home in Rancho Santa Fe.
Whether his cycle Is ready to spin
remains to be seen, however.
Snead 3-Time Winner.
Snead won the tournament for
the third time last year with a So
hole score of 67-69-136, and Craig
Wood finished with 69-68-137. Ho-
gan, sensation of the California
winter tour, had rounds of 69-70-
139, tying Nelson, Jimmy Demaret
and two others in this bracket. Gull
dahl had a pair of 73s.
Snead plays with the tournament
host, Crosby, and Hogan and Come
dian Bob Hope round out the fea-
tured foursome Of pros and amateur
