A throng of 78,000 people saw the
annual Yale-Harvard football game
at New Haven. The largest crowd
that ever watched a game in this
country filled the Yale bowl to over
flowing and saw Yale cross the Har
vard goal line for a touchdown the
first time in seven years. Yale won
the game 6 to 3. Neville, Yale's stur
dy back, made the lone touchdown
and Robinson scored a field goal for
Harbard. .
The Army beat the Navy on the
Polo grounds by the score of 15 to 7,
before 45,000 wildly enthusiastic fans.
Many notables and people prominent
in society saw the gamfe. President
Wilson was not present on account of
a very bad cold. However cabinet
dignitaries, high officers in the army
and navy, members of both houses of
congress and many other federal,
state and municipal officials were in
terested spectators. New York itself
contributed hundreds of persons not
able in financial, social and artistic
life .
Ohio state won the middle west
championship by defeating North
western 23 to 3. Both teams have
gone through the season undefeated
and Northwestern followers were bit
terly disappointed over the crushing
defeat. Ohio scored all her points in
the last quarter and while the North
western’s line held up to this time it
crumbled and went to pieces at the
critical stage.
Illinois and Wisconsin played a
scoreless game while Minnesota
simply played rings around Stagg’s
Maroons.

The executive committee of the An
chorage Chamber of Commerce met
last night and transacted business of
importance.
It is understood a movement is on
foot to organize a Boosters’ club
among the business and professional
men of Anchorage.
The Times is in receipt of a wire
from the Ruby Record-Citizen that
reads as follows: “What are the dates
of Anchorage Kennel club races?
Ruby teams may compete providing
prizes are sufficient and dates not
conflicting.”
A representative of The Times took
the matter up with Tex Jones and Art
Schonbeck this afternoon and these
two worthy representatives of clean
sports will bring the matter up before
the Kennel club at once and advise
The Times of the result. The Times
has also had several other communica
tions in regard to the races and would
suggest at this time that now is the
time to start the agitation for the an
nual Anchorage sweepstakes.
APPLICATIONS FOR POSITIONS.
(Alaska Railroad Record.)
More than 60,000 applications for
positions are already on file in the An
chorage office of the Commission, and
every mail brings 50 or more letters
from all parts of the United States
from persons desirous of entering the
service.
During the winter months, the work
ing conditions require that the forces
of all divisions of the project be re
duced to a minimum, and, therefore,
applicants at this time are given little
encouragement. It has been the policy
of the Commission in engaging em
ployees to give the preference to resi
dents of the territory and to former
employees of satisfactory record. No
difficulty has so far been experienced
in securing suitable help in Alaska for
all branches of the work, except in a
few cases where technical knowledge
or skill is required.
DISBURSING OFFICE.
(Alaska Railroad Record.)
The total disbursements made by
the office at Anchorage for the period
December 8 to 14, totaled $81,363,67.
The payment of salaries and wages
amounted to $50,854.47; for local pur
chases, $3,092.63; to contractors, $24,
398.93; other expenditures, $3,017.64.

ANCHORAGE MACHINE SHOP.
(Alaska Railroad Record.)
One of the most notable improve
ments made at Anchorage terminal
during the season just passed is the
new machine shop, which is now near
ing completion.
The building consists of a main
structure 50 feet wide by 250 feet long,
flanked by a shed portion 40 by 250
feet, affording a total floor space of
22,500 square feet. The main struc
ture is spanned by 21 heavy trusses,
50 feet clear span, spaced 12% 1 foot
centers and at a height sufficient to
give 40 feet clear space below them,
Two tracks on 22-foot centers run the
entire length of the building and will
readily accommodate ten units of roll
ing stock for repairs or overhauling.
Under these tracks, at the easterly
end of the building, are located twin
concrete steam-heated repair pits, 50
feet in length, connected by a trans
verse wheel drop-pit of sufficient size
to handle locomotive drivers up to 84
inches diameter. Next season speci
ally designed hoisting cylinders will
be installed in the pits to facilitate
the removal of locomotive drivers ‘aVirf
trucks; and an electric overhead crarte,
traveling the entire length of the
shop, of 40 tons capacity, with auxil
iary 15-ton hoisting block, will be pro
vided.
The blacksmith shop occupies the
westerly 100 feet of the shed portion
of the building. The present equip
ment, consisting of six forges, a 2000
pound steam-hammer and plate rolls
with a capacity for handling plates
up to % of an inch thick and 12 feet
wide, is to be augmented later with
punches and shears, pillar cranes and
the other necessary apparatus.
Next to the blacksmith shop is the
tool and supply room, ywith the usual
equipment of grinders and lathes.
Carried overhead at this point and
supported by the roof trusses are two
35-h. p. motors, which are to drive the
line shafting as soon as current is
available. These motors are very
heavy, slow-speed type and were form
erly in service at the Panama Canal,
' and it is to accommodate these and
I other similar electrical equipment
that makes necessary the use of 110
i volt direct current for power purposes.
In the extreme east end of the shed
! portion of the building are the shop
' offices, where provision has been
made for private offices for the master
mechanic, shop foreman and clerical
force. A stationery supply room has
also been provided.
Between the offices and the tool
room, and occupying the remaining
length of the building, is the machine
shop proper. The usual equipment
has been installed, including a car
wheel boring machine, planers, radial
drill press, axle lathe, bolt cutters and
pipe cutters. In addition, a new P>fl
inch lathe and 30-ton wheel press
have been placed.
The outer walls of the machine
shop are double, with eight-inch air
space between the plank surfaces. The
entire roof is planked and covered
with asbestoes roofing.
Pipe coils and radiators utilizing the
waste steam from the power plant,
through a vacuum system, will furn
, ish heat for the entire building, sup
erseding the stoves now in use.
Natural lighting is provided by 148
large and 40 small windows and a
skylight 130 inches wide, running the
full length of the building, made up
of sheets of wire-reinforced glass, 44
by 130 inches and weighing about 280
pounds each. Artificial lighting will
be provided by 300 and 200-watt
Mazda lamps suitably distributed
throughout the shops.
It is planned to install a large
amount of additional equipment next
season and when this is done the An
chorage shops will be of ample ca
pacity to undertake all ordinary rail
road and floating equipment repair
work, even of the heaviest type.
