CABLE SERVICE ALL NIGHT '
FOR SOME TOWNS '
The government cable has estab
llshed an all-night rable service, which
went into effect last evening. So far
it only Includes Juneau, Sitka, Valdez j
and Fairbanks, but why the Cordova j
office is not included in the list is a j
matter for the Chamber of Commerce
to take up.
As we have both the cable and wire \
less there Is no good reason why Cor (
dova should not receive the same ser- e
vice that has been accorded other1
towns.

NEW YORK. Feb. 18. — Yale Unl
erslty alumni in general, and football
ollowers in particular, are confidently
waiting the formal announcement,
hat T. A. D. Jones has been appoint
d head football coach for a term of
everal years. According to those
rho have their ear to the ground,
ones has been the choice of the no~
uinating committee from the first mo
iient that it became apparent Or. A.
,. Sharpe could not be pried away
rom Cornell. There was considerable
lelay, however, in reaching the terms
if the general agreement, which in
hided a radical change in many minor
etails of the present Yale football
ystem.
Thirty three states and Canada have'
urnished 702 entries for the Kentucky i
I'uturity for foals of 1915. As Is na
ural, Kentucky leads with 274, while
Jew York is second with 109. Ohio
akes third place with 57. Illinois

ico third with 35. Walnut Hall Farm

Cuba is to make another bid for
he Oylmpic games. The offer to hold
he 1910 meet having elicited no re
ily an invitation has been extended
0 Baron de Couberttn, president of the
nternational Olympic Committee, to
isit Havana and inspect the facilities'
iffered for the holding of an interna-|
ional meet in 1916. There is, of
ourso, no possibility of the games'
icing held in Berlin next July, as
scheduled immediately after the 1912
neet in Stockholm. Not even the
nembers of the committee can fore-1
as* what may occur during the next
wo oi three years.
Members of the intercollegiate foot
■a'l rules committee, which meets in
Jew York late In February, will de
ote considerable attention to the
lalnei armor and protective devices
.hidi players wear in the gridiron
:nme. The impression has been
rowing that in some cases the pro
ective articles are more useful for
iffenslve purposes than for defence
gainst injury.
