Then promoters are going to camb the country for a “White Hope.” Jack Torrence may eventually de- velop into a threat, despite the fact that many fiscie experts belittle the idea that the foimer oLuisiana State shot-put star will ever amount to anything in the ring. He has knocked out a few hand-picked heavyweights in jig time, but, to date, he has not really been tested. Glenn Hardin, a’ teammate of Jack’s in their college days and win- ner of the Olympic 400-meter hur- dles title in Berli nlast summer, saw Torrance in action recently and was very much impressed. “Not Good-Natured” “Jack handed me a great sur prise when I saw him in the ring,’ said Hardin. “He's as fast as any 180-pounder. Once the bell rang he was like a man possessed, deter- mined to batter his foe to the can- vas in a hurry. When he knocks his opponent down, Jack can hardly wait for him to get back on his feet before attacking again. “All this chatter about Torrance being a big, good-natured boy makes me smile.” Glenn continued. “He’s good-natured all right, but only as long as no one crosses him. Once he gets his danger up things begin to fly. I know—didn't I travel with him for five or six years! “His condition, when I saw him fight, was a revelation to me. He was fat and flabby when we were abroad with the Olympic team. But now that he has trained down to about 265 he looks great. You should see those muscles in his back ripple when he starts throwing punches. In all the time we com- peted at Louisiana State I never knew that his back was lined with such powerful muscles.

The Sheldon Jackson students from Sitka played an outstanding game and were able to gain the victors' end of a 37-33 score over the Ju neau High School Crimson Bears. Just as the final gun blasted forth Roy Smith, the local high school sensation, Yound himself in possession of the ball three-quar- ters of the way down the court in the opponents’ territory. He let go a superlative left - handed shot, which flying high into the air, fell smoothly into the open arms of the hoop. That shot knotted the score 31-all and unleased a din from the raving spectators that floated clear across Gastineau Channel. When the three-minute overtime was called Smithy threw another Jeft-handed bucket and was match- ed by Romey Atkinson to again knot the score. Another overtime period of five minutes was then called and Wallace Leask and Tommy Atkinson, each with a field goal, finally threw the Crimson Bear. Half at 14-13 In the first quarter the Bears lead 4-5, then the visitors ended the half with a one-point lead, 14-13. At the three-quartér mark Juneau returnea to the lead 25-21 and then it was the visitors turn to go the front and as the game ended 37-33.

It was the first time the Sheldon Jackson students have come to Ju- neau for a basketball game and it was such a success that it is hoped that their coach, R. S.

'Income Tax 1 'Returns Deduction for Business Ex- | pense Are Announc- ed to Payers Deductions for business expenses form a large item in the return of many taxpayers and must have certain qualities to be allowed. Such deduction must be for an expendi- ture in connection with the main- tenance and operation of the tax- payer’s business or business proper- ties; it must be an ordinary ex- pense and it must be a necessary expense. In insisting upon the lat- ter qualifications, the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue is upheld by the courts.
