OF the team we believe will win.
On the West Coast, I feel the long
rest and the law of averages both
will favor Michigan as they upset
California. In the Cotton Bowl,
our opinion Is that Coach Blair
Cherry will bow out victorious as
his Texas Longhorns defeat Ten

change our opinion on the game
we are going to see in New Orleans.
It's still Oklahoma over Kentucky

Clemson Over Miami.
Miami's Orange Bowl will have

many years as the home town
team from the University of
Miami plays host to Clemson.
Neither team lost a game this fall

The G.adGe Roe9e4

The Teen-age slang term "it sends me-" and "out of this world" are the only terms in which I can describe my feel ing over the marvellous skies and a w e-inspiring color dis plays in our Alaska skies.
 All day, for instance, ever since MT. Howell called our at tention to the strange and beau tiful mother of pearl cloud a little after eight o'clock this morning, 1 have worn myself out, running from the type writer to the door, to watch the changes in it.
 I did not know until after noon that there was anything very unusual about it, suppos- ing it to be just another of the beauties of Seward. Since hear ing, on the authority of the Weather Bureau, that it is really a phenomenon, I've gone nearly out of my head trying to keep up with it. Wish I had a loud speaker so> I could go about and call everybody in town to come and look at what The Man Upstairs is doing for Sew ard.
 l am not the only one, either. Everybody in the shop has taken turns peeking out the window between trying to put news paper together today. After all it's worth getting excited about, we get out newspaper twice week, and from what we hear, see mother of pearl cloud maybe once in a lifetime.
 P.S.: This is just an interlude in the planning of the Kenai Peninsula Potlatch. We haven't forgotten it.

BALTIMORE WOMAN
 BAGS BIG BLACKIE

An attractive young matron from Baltimore, Md, already wellknown there for her craftsmanship, will return home with conclusive proof after a two-week hunting trip in Alaska.
 Mrs. H.. N Busick nailed a brown bear with a running shot at 155 yards, and she also shot black bear which equals the present re- cord, squaring seven feet, six inches. Near Rocky Pass, Mrs. Busick also had the unusual experience of see- ing two wolves attack black bear.
 MT. and Mrs Busick brought back two other blacks from the hunting trip to Kuiu and Kupreanof Islands, where they went with Arthur H. Kinnan aboard his 60-foot craft, the Vermarco. All the bear showed signs of having come out of hiber- nation only two or three days be- fore.
 Busick had bagged four bears on his previous trip. in 1889, with Kin nan. This was his wife's first visit to Alaska, nor will it be the last one.
 Besides Kinnan and the Busicks, the party numbered two guides from Petersburg Arnold Israelson and Frank Wooten-and the crew. Mary Hargraves was cook, as she has been for three years aboard the Yer marco. The party returned to Ju- neau last night.
 MT. and Mrs. Busick were guests at the Baranof Hotel, planning to start their return home this after noon by Pan American AirWays.
 Busick is president of the Lord Baltimore Hotel Company.
