MYTHICAL TEAM OF
WEST TO HAVE
MANY STARS
ENTIRE BACKFI ELD ALL-AMERI
CAN ELEVEN MAY COME
FROM WEST.
CHICAGO. 111., Dec. 5.—Not more
than a casual glance or so at a few
of the representative teams is requir
ed to assure oneself that the middle
west fairly bristles with prospects for
the All-American team of 1924. In
fact, it is well within the bounds of
possibility that the section in ques
tion will outdraw the east in the num
ber of men selected for the first elev
en—a state of affairs that would have
provoked a polite, well modulated
laugh twenty years ago.
You had to be a Heston, a Schultz
or an Eckersall to break through
the wall of eastern incredulity in
those days.
Contrast these conditions with
those that prevail today. For one
thing, it is not at all impossible that
an All-Western backfield will be se
lected. Harold Grange, of Illinois,

is certain of one halfback position.
He couldn’t be kept off the team with
a federal injunction.
Nor will it be an easy cinch, as
the fellow said, to select an eleven
that does not include Crowley of
Notre Dame. On what he has shown
to date Crowley rates the honor al
most as logically as does Grange.
For quarterback it it generally
agreed that Stuhldeher, of Notre
Dame, is the ranking candidate. Cer
tainly there is no man in sight at the
moment to say him nay. His nomi
nation would leave one backfield post
and that part thereof seen by the
writer, can summon Baker, of North
western; Steffen, of Michigan; Ley
den and Dan Miller, of Notre Dame;
H. Thomas, of Chicago; Karow of
Ohio State; Hall, of Illinois, and Par
kin, of Iowa.
And these men would be only a few
among many. Butler, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Marquette,,
Kansas, and Missouri are some few
of the teams east of the Rockies
which will have a backfield candidate
or two.
In the event that an All-Western
backfield is named this section of
the country would be certain to out
score the east in the first team
choices. There would be only seven
positions left open and the east
would have to battle with the west,
the coast, and the' south for the re
maining places. Therefore, its chance
is quite plausible for making the
poorest showing since the All-Ameri
can vogue began.
SUTHERLAND PETITION FOR
EXTENSION OF AIR MAIL
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Dan A.
Sutherland, Delegate to Congress from
Alaska will endeavor to have Con
gress authorize the extension of the
air mail service to Alaska.
Mr. Sutherland declares that the
experimentaal flights conducted by
Carl B. Eielson, now lieutenant in the
U. S. Aviation Corps, proved that the
extension would be entirely feasible.
Sutherland will incorporate the
plan in a bill which he will present
to Congress early in the session, au
thorizing officials to call for
special contracts for carrying mails
in Alaska during certain periods of
the year.
FUNERAL OF M’ARDLE
Funeral services for Dan McArdle,
a Wasilla rancher, who died at the
Anchorage hospital Nov. 26, were held
at Anchorage Wednesday, Rev. Fr.
Turnell officiating. Deceased left a

VOLiVA DECLARES
FLIGHT DOESN’T
PROVE CLAIMS
ARGUES THAT GLANCE AT MAP
WOULD SHOW TO THE
CONTRARY
ZION, Dec. 5.—Flying around the
world does not prove that the earth
is a globe, according to a statement
of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of
the Christian Catholic Apostolic
church community here, who said a
glance at a map of the earth as a
stationary plane w’ould prove the
earth to be stationary as much as it
was globular.
Mr. Voliva exhibited an ordinary
map of the globe upon which he had
penciled the route of the flyers. He
said it showed the aviators merely
flew in a circle over the flat surface
of the earth.
“Advocates of the Coperniean glob
ular theory of the earth’s shape
should note the statement of Profes
sor R. A. Gregory, one of their fore
most authorities,” Mr. Voliva assert
ed. He quoted Professor Gregory as
saying: “Circumnavigation in an east
erly or westerly direction does not
prove the earth to be globular. It
has been pointed out that circumnav
igation would be possible on a flat
surface with the north magnetic pole
at its center.
“The world flight does not prove
conclusively either theory, but it
does prove one just as much as it
proves the other.
“The Bible plainly and unmistak
ably teaches that the earth is a sta
tionary plane,” continued Mr. Voliva.
He submitted abstracts from Profes
sor J. Norman Lockyer, La Place, the
French astronomer, and the late Pro
fessor Woodhouse, of Cambridge, in
support of his contention.
WILLIAM O. SOUTHWORTH
ANCHORAGE GROCER, DEAD
Wm. O. Southworth, who operated
the cut rate grocery store in Anchor
age, died suddenly this week. He
left no known relatives. Deceased is
said to have first came to Alaska in
1S9S. From Dawson he joined the
stampede to Fairbanks, where for a
number of years he worked in a res
taurant as a waiter. About three or
four months ago he removed to An
chorage and opened up the Cut Rate
Grocery.

SHORTAGE OF MEN IN
IDITAROD IS CLAIMED
A shortage of men in the Iditarod
district is claimed by Chester Brink,
who arrived on the coast recently aft
er four years spent in the Interior.
Four others accompanied him on the
trip, viz., Fay Bullock, Gertrude Rody,
Austin Horner and A1 Caldwell. Mr.
Horner and Mr. Caldwell were em
ployed on the Aiken’s dredge the past
summer.
Eighteen dogs were employed in
bringing the party out, and the trail
is reported as in splendid condition.
The weather was about 15 below

plentiful in the district including car
ibou.
ANTI-ROLLING TANKS GIVEN
TEST ABOARD HAPAG LINER
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 2.—
The efficiency of anti-rolling tanks
was determined on the last trip of
the Hapag liner Albert Ballin from
New York to Hamburg, when the ship
for the first time encountered heavy
seas. Scandinavian shipping men
report that the gyroscope pendulum
indicates a rolling movement of but
six degrees against the horizon with
the tanks in operation.
When the anti-rolling device was
put out of service the vessel rolled
to an angle of 16 degrees.
Miss Elaine Cameron, well known
in Seward, entertained the victorious
Anchorage basketball team on its re
turn to the inland city. Three tables
of whist were arranged.

six o’clock please phone us and one
will be sent by special messenger.
