[« O FIREMEN FIVES MIX IN BATTLE FOR CAGE TITLE Juneau and Douglas Smoke Eaters Play Deciding Game This Evening ! | | In the final game of the first half of the Channel Basketballl League schedule, the quintets o[i the Juneau and Douglas Fire De-| partments will battle for the cham- | plonship tenight on the local High | School Gym court. Traditional ri- vals for athletic honors on Gas- tineau Channel, the tilt is ex- pected to be the most spirited of the season and should draw out a record breaking crowd. It will be the second game of the evening. The first will bring the Juneau High School girls sex- tette up against the Alumni five of Douglas. It, too, should be a thriller. The Island maidens have a clever, ag- gressive combination. It has al- ready defeated the Douglas Hijgh school, winners recently of the girls' section of the Lynn Canal tourna- ment. It will be the third test for the local girls who have divid- ed evenly in two games with the local Alumni squad. Both Firemen teams will enter the fray at top strength. Not a single casualty is reported on eith- er squad. Betting on the outcome is at even money. . On comparative scores, the Is- landers have a slight edge. Both teams have won three and lost one game. Each was defeated by George Brothers. But the Douglas Smocke Easters made larger scores and won by greater margins from the teams that the Juneau Fire- men also beat. There was one exception. The Islanders beat the United Meat 37 to 16 while the local Firemen snowed under the sam2 five by a score of 59 to 10. The opening game starts at 7:30 o'clock tonight. The League final will start promptly on the conclus- fon of the girls contest. ——~————— The Japanese alphabet possesses the use of men, and hiranage for two sets of character—katanaka for women.

By one means or another, ihe Amateur Athletic Union’s attempt to select the year’s outstanding| amateur performance has en complicated. The list of ten “finalists” in the contest, which carries the Sulli- van Memorial Award with it, fail- ed in the first place to include H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr.,, the world tennis champion for 1932 and by all odds one of the two or three outstanding American amateurs. The only clue I have to this strange proceeding is that the A. A. U. itself regarded somewhat suspiciously the fact that Vines left other pursuits for a tennis campaign carrying him halfway around the world, from early spring to winter. Apparently it was felt this subjected the Californian’s amateur standing to some question, vet it seems hardly possible this gratuitous attitude could have been sufficiently widespread to keep Vines out of a list of ten leading amateur performers in any open balloting. It is a dangerous pre- cedent. Babe Didrickson was, of course, among the ten finalists announced by the A. A. U. but it now seems the Texan wonder girl has auto- maticelly been eliminated from the decisive ballot by reason of her suspension, for the time being, on evidence arising from the publi- cation of an automobile advertise- ment carrying -her picture and en- dorsement. ‘WOOD? METCALFE? At least two other sources of| eyebrow-lifting in this proceeding are the inclusion’of William Barry Wood,. Harvard's former all-around athlete and Ralph Metcalfe, Mar- quette megro sprinter, in the fa- vored list. ‘Wood’s literary efforts- for 1932 hardly would qualify him for dis-| tinctive as an outstanding athlete. True, he did not finish his college career until last June, but his ma- | jor athletic exploits for Harvard| reached their peak in 1931, when| he was selected All-America quar- terback and subsequently nominat- | ed for the Sullivan Award. Barry Wood, in short, will not be re- called as a conspicuous figure inj the 1932 picture of sporting ac- tivity. - Metcalfe, of course, has a better THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1932, By GEORGE McMANUS change uniforms as a result of the t| between the New Y i Nationals.

But he was trimmed twice by Eddie Tolan in the Olympics and the only way he can be given the preference is on the basis that To- lan since has removed himself Zrom, consideration by turning pro- fegsional. VERY STRANGE, INDEED There have to be some rules and regulations, of course, for the Sul- livan Award or any other contest of this kind but it does not seem that a subsequent change in vo- cation or avocation can alter the performances which originally qualify a candidate. The case would be different, of | course, if Tolan or Didrickson, or even Vines had been demonstrat- ed to have violated amateur rules BEFORE they turned in theeir |achievements that put them in the spotlight. That was what cost Jim Thorpe his 1912 Olympic med- als. But no such accusations con- cern the athletes considered here. nor is there any suggestion that the medals or trophies won by Didrickson, Tolan or Vines be re- turned.
