They had to wait seven years, however, to see the Huskics roll into the Rose Bowl but it was worth it the way Phelan’s charges knocked off every Pacific coast con- ference opponent except Stanford this season. The Indians held the Huskies to a 14-14 tie. Now Phelan rates tops with the alumni and everybody else in town, and he is in line for a nice new con- tract—possibly for three years. Last season Washington gave him only a l-year contract after some of the boys began to talk. In conference and non-conference competition the last seven years Phelan has won 39 games, lost 18 and tied 5.

(Associated Press Pho!o) AMATEURISM? WHY ALL THE WORRY, ALLEN LAWRENCE, Rans., Dec. 28.—The eligibility of a varsity athlete would depend on progress toward gradua- tion rather than on the passing of a minimum amount of work; the term “amateur” would drop into a state of disuse; and college ath- letes would be limited to two years!| of varsity competition under a plan proposed by Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Among changes in the collegiate athletic setup suggested by Dr. Al- len are: Limit intercollegiate competiton in major universities in two years,' the third and fourth following ma- triculaton. Limit intercollegiate competition in small colleges—the ones allow- ing freshmen to compete on varsity teams—to three years. Forbid compeition between var- sity teams from schools of the two classes, but have sophomore teams of “junior varsities” to play each took off for Prince Rupert this morning in the Marine Airways Fairchild plane piloted by Alex Hol- den. The plane left Juneau at 8:35 this morning but. had gone but a few miles when ice commenced to form on the wings, and Holden was fore; ed to turn .back, postponing the flight until tomorrow. The plane arrived back at its ramp here at 9 o'clock. McDonald will return to Juneau from Vancouver as soon after the first of the year as possible, and will then assume his new post as superintendent of the Kensington Mine. — -, Daily movements of the foliage of the “praying palm” of the orient is caused by changes in tempera- ture. $ ————————— Raleigh, N.C., has 49 preachers, 61 doctors and 157 lawyers. other and to play the smaller col- leges.
