Heckman, President of the Miners’ and Mer- chants’ Bank of Ketchikan, who visited the Alaska Department of the Chamber ol Commerce yes- terday. Blueberries grow in abundance in Alaska, and at present mere- ly go to waste, except for the Gomparatively few picked for dn-‘ mertic canning, he said. Their'! abundance would supply any mlr-! ket which could be developed in the United States, he believes, Heckman suggested canning of the berries might be linked up! with operation of salmon can-| neries, whose season closes by the: time the berries are ripe. The industry © would furnish two months' employment to cannery worker: — ——— Beginning January first d until further notice this store will be closed evenings except Saturdays, when we will keep open until ten olclock. jadv.

In spite of all the schemes to draw more col- lege students into athletics, such “two team” football plans, five Big Ten ath- letes out of some 35,000 students who are entitled to varsity let- ters in three sports. There are but 50 or so two letter men in all these Western Conference univer- sities. Bennie Oosterbaan, Michigan's All-American end, is an outstand- ing exception. Bennie is likely to become a nincletter man, being almost as good at basketball and baseball as he is on the gridiron. Cotton Wilcox of Purdue, one of the greatest all-around athletes the Big Ten ever saw, has cap- tured all three teams in the major eports—foothall, basketball and baseball. Bud Stewart of Illinois is a bet- pitcher. than halfback, and good enough to win his letter at basketball. Mally Nydakl, captain of the Minnesota basketball team, also the football and base- although not quite =0 as on the gym floor. one of the best outficlders in the Conference, is equally good at basketball, and good enough to be a regular end on the football team. Since these are phenomenal ex- and first-rank athletes Big Ten coaches »n ball fields, Luke Johnson, are scarce, | metropolitan centers are the most skeptical of the two-team football idea, doubting whether anyone would turn out to see the second team play. - MARRIED YESTERDAY Miss Laura M.

"FIREMEN FIVE MEETS EAGLES Local Team Plays in Doug- las — J. H. S.-Unalga Contest Called Off The Juneau Firemen's basket ball quintet will go into action for the second time this season when it plays its first away-from-home game tonight with the Douglas Eagles in the Natatorium Douglas. This will be the only game on the Channel tonight as the game between Juneau High School and the Unaiga, scheduled to be play ed thi, evening in the A. B. Hall, was called off when the Unalga sailed for Cordova last night. Although the Eagles were out played by the Juneau Hilltoppers last night they have put up sev- eral scrappy contests this sea son, and should put up a hard fight against the Firemen, who have won their only game this vear, having defeated the local High School 39 to 17 last Friday. Lineups for the games have not been announced, but it is expected | that all the men in both squads will have an opportunity to par- ticipate. A special ferry will leave Ju-i neau for the other side of the Channel at 7:15 o'clock this eve ning, and a good crowd is expect- ed to follow the team across. INTERIOR SPORTSMEN SUGGEST FEW CHANGES At a recent meeting of the Tanana Valley Game Protective assoclation, held at Fairbanks, number of suggestions were sub- mitted to the people of the inter- lor district and if approved by them, will then be forwarded ‘o the Alaska Game commission for consideration at the forthcoming annual meeting of that organiza- tion. The suggestions follow: 1. Is it expedient to ask Con- gress for funds to fight the rapid- ly increasing coyotes and wolves, or should the territory bear this expense? 2. Is the hlack bear entitled to protection in the interior of Alas- ka? Shall caribou cows calves be protected and pei only the killing of bulls? Is feasible to allow only a t the seasonal limit of caribou to be taken in August, the rest to be taken later in the seasou when danger from spoiling s past? 4. Shall beaver be trans to the upper Tanana valley? the introduction of other fur bear- ers such as the fisher, Siberian kolinsky, Siberian blue squir of BASKETBALL JUNEAU FIREMEN vs. DOUGLAS EAGLES DOUGLAS N —TON ATATORIUM IGHT — Special Ferry Leaves Juneau at 7:15 Expe IsaS rt Motor Car Service cience Continue enjoyipg the comforts the factory bui It into your car by having it serviced by experts.
