OH N THINK COLLEGE BEATS CRIMSON BEARS: IN EASY SHAPE [xperience and Marksman- ship Give Collegians Too Much of an Edge | Experience and superior mark- | manship proved too much for the| local High School cagers Wednes- day afternoon, and the Crimson| Bears bowed to the Alaska College quintet by a score of 17 to 48. But| the game was fought on mors nearly even terms than the lopsid- ed score indicated. Chances to score were almost cven. The light and green local squad matched speed on even terms | with the Collegians, and its passing while ragged at times, was on many occasions as high class and its} teamwork as good as that of its| ier gnd more season2d oppon- | en | Pc-r Shooting to Blame Inability to cage the casaka was the cause of the Bears' downfall| more than any other.

North Carolina State heads the Jist with seven coaches, including the one to be elected soon to re- place John (Clipper) Smith, who resigned a few days ago. Auburn i pi State College each has had six and ther2 is a possibil- ity that Auburn soon will be seek- ing another, for Chet Wynne is prominently mentioned as a suc- cessor to Harry Gamage, who re- signed at Kenfuckv. The average “life” slightly less than four of a coach ’ ing the pericd since the southern conf:zrence was 1922. Dan McGugin, who ; started at Vanderbilt in 1904, and W. A Alaxander, who has just comp'ated his fourteenth year at| Georgia tech are the only survivors of the group who were head coach- es 12 years ago. H. C.

WELLS PALO ALTO, ‘Cal, Dec. 28.— Those who believe Stanford picked a weak opponent when Columbia was chosen to represent the east in the New Year’s Day game at Pasa- dena can tell it to the world if| they wish, but not to the seven scrappy sophomores and their team mates who toppled Southern Cali- fornia from the coast footkall throne. Coaches Tiny JThornhill and Ernie Nevers won't let them. “Were mnot fooled by the talk about Columbia’s lack of strenzth’ id a spokesman for the univer- . “It would be a h for eastérn prospects if that idea could be gotten aeross to our team, which got its right to represent th> west by sheer fight and the will to win. “It would be great psychology and it probably would defeat Stan- ford, but we're not going to forget for a minute that beforz the & lection of the eastern team was an- nounced we got nothing' but glow- ing reports on the prowess of Lou Little's aggregation.” !

Against California it was the ability to break a set of speedy backs inio the open. It will be Stanford’s first game in the Rose Bowl since 1928, when the Indians defeated Pittsburgh 7 to 6. The year previous Stanford and Alabama played a 7 to 7 tie. Stanford’s only other appearance was in 1925 when it lost to Notre Dame 27 to 10. e ————— The Houston, Tex. city council refused to permit dog races or marathon walking contests in Sam Houston hall, site of the national Democratic convention of 1928. \S THIS RANGY TEXAN = coLumeaia ONIVERSITY CAPTAIN OF THE COURT QUINTET.

Charley Gehringer and Gerald Walker broke up two no-hit con- tests. On May 4. Vernon Gomez was battling Detroit. Not a hit did he allow unfil the ninth when Gehringer led off with a home run and Walker followed with a double. On June 13, Oral Hilde- brand beat Detroit. 1 to 0, but Gehringer and Walker each hit a single. The St. Louis Browns were held to one hit three times.

Willle Kamm led the third basemen in effective- ness for the seventh season with a new world average of .984. His record of 379 chances in 131 games is, however, far from a record.

Art Scharein tied the third base record for assists on ning. ‘Three days later, Hilde- brand let the Browns down with a single one base blow by Scharein. But the closest the Browns came to being blanked was on June 13 when Whitlow Wyatt kept them hitless until two were out in the ninth. Ted Gullic then spoiled the afternoon for Wyatt. Bridges later turned the same trick against the Washington Nats but it happened the only hit was a home run by Kuhel in the eighth inning. The other one hit game went to the credit of Johnny Al- len of the Yankees. He allowed Coleman of the Athletics to make a single in the first inning, and from then on not another safe blow. \ You Don’t Have to Go to Hollywood For the Famous Swedish Massage That the Picture Stars Employ for a Youthful, Beautiful Figure You Can Have the Very Same Treatments Right Here in Juneau Swedish Massage Will Build Up or Reduce Weight Phone 10, Gastinean Hotel for Appointment Mrs. J.
