The score was mo-, mentarily tied, 13 all, but at the end of the canto the Bears had taken the lead, 15 to 14 In the third quarter, the Bears jumped into the lead, 30 to 22, \)'Il the Huskies gave them a run Mx their money in the last heat. The attendance was as large and as enthusiastic as that on the first night of the series. First Quarter Ketchikan's center, Olsen, side. Devon took the ball for Doug- | lass and passed it to Bach in the corner, who shot from that position | and sank the first basket. Ludwig- | sen of the Polar Bears then fouled Pusich and he chalked up another; point for the Huskies. Sig ol.senj then took a pass from Crowder and scored a Bear tally Ludwn;:-} sen then fouled Bach, who made | the throw, bringing the score to| 4-2, favor of Douglas. Crowder then tied the score 4-4 by sinking a sleeper shot on a pass from Olsen. The next scoring came on the same play in reverse. Olsen received a pass from Crowder and scored. As the canto ended, Bonnett took a long shot from the half, bringing the score to 8-6, with the Huskies on top. Second Quarter The second canto started off with | a foul by Pusich, Crowder making the shot. This was followed by a basket by Olsen, who tapped in one off the back-board. Douglas made the next scoring when McCormick holed a‘foul shot and Bonnett fol- lowed with another basket from the half-mark. Ketchikan retaliated | when Olsen tapped in a tally off | the back-board. Bach, for the Hus- kies, then scored from under the hoop, and Savikko got one from the “half-line, tieing the score, 13| all. Olsen then put the Bears in the lead by tapping in tally and the halftime score wa: 15-14, in favor of the Polar Bears.

These last two will appear on sepa ballots {at the City Election on April 3. Mrs. Harold Smitli, sepresenting ‘Uu- Juneau Women's Club, pre- (sented a petition to the council containing 475 signatures king that voters be given a chance to express their opinion on the ques- tion of city-owned public utilities. Councilman Keith Wildes put the city manager plan on the ballot by making a nfotion to that effect. Before reading of communica- tions, Jack Burford asked the councilmen and mayor what had been accomplished towards getting a warehouse built for the halibuters. Mayor Hayes |he had talked with K.

This matter was | referred to the Committee on Taxa- |tion and M. E. Monagle, City At- | torney, will also look up the law to determine the city's liability. The bid from J. V. Cole of $1,582 for a new grid in the small boat harbor was tabled and probably ‘ will be rejected, as the City En- ['mccr stater it was some 5400 too hij Ld Nielson gave a report on the city dock. He said the city, after |all repair expenses are paid, made |a profit of $60 a month. He recom- riended that the next council raise the rent. Chief of Police John Monagle was voted $125 to reimburse him for use of his private car for police work during the past two years. Ed Neilson complained that air- planes were flying too low over the city and suggested something be done about it. No action was taken. The list of election judges for the April 3 election was read by Mayor Hayes. Repairs were ordered to streets and sidewalks and bills were or- dered paid. All members were present at this meeting, the last until after the election.

City NCAA Berth EUGENE, Ore., March 17.—Wash- ington State’s Cougars pulled out a |narrow 53 to 48 victory here last evening over the Oregon Webfoots, io even, at one-all, their playoff ser- ies for the Northern Division Pacific Coast Conference Basketball Cham- pionship. The winners avenged a 51 to 41 defeat by the Ducks, at Pullman last Saturday, In their win last night, the Cou- gars served notice that they will be strong contenders for a berth in Western Regional NCAA Tourn: at Kansas City, next Friday. The win- ner of tonight’s final playoff game will entrain for Kansas City on Sun- day. W. S. C. led all the way after Vince Hanson, in the first minute scored the first of his eleven field goals. Half-way through the first period the winners had a lead of 16 to 8, but held only a 17-16 mar- .gin with only six minutes of the half remaining. The Cougars then raced ahead to close the half with a 33-24 count. During the second half, the Cou- |gars increased their lead to 11 points, then managed to hold off several Oregon spurts throughout the final period. Hanson, the Nations' leading col- legiate seorer, tallied 26 points for | Washington State, Berg scored 15! |for Oregon. ‘BETTINA STAGES | - GAME COMEBACK Carrier Should Be Giv- en States’ Run Airways, accompanied by his wife, is now in Juneau on a combined business and pleasure trip. Wood- ley is the Alaska airline operator who recently appeared before the Civil Aeronautics Board hearings in ‘Washington to put in a plea for an Alaskan carrier to hold a route cer- tificate between Alaska and the States. Woodley said: “As I view this proceeding it is the only and last opportunity of the Alaskan carriers to break away from the limited con- fines of their routes and the limited traffic potential.” He went on to say that the economy of Alaska is dependent upon that of the United States and stated that the migratory workers who come to the Territory each year are a source of treffic between the two areas. Woodley told the CAB board mem- bers he believed there is sufficient taffic between the States and Alaska to warrant competitive operations. He is convinced that only an Alaskan carrier can reach “the remote origins and destinations of the traffic in the Territory.” He said if an Outside carrier were given a route between the larger Alaska towns it would prevent the | Alaska-owned lines from expanding and growing and that the economy of the Territory itself would not beenfit from the operation of Out- side companies. Speaking of a possible reduction | in passenger fares, the Airline op- erator said: reduction of passenger fares in Al- aska is a desirable objective but if the application of the Alaskan car- riers are denied and the operations are established in competition with some of their established services, the effect must be a sudden, radical reduction in throughout Alaska.” Mail Subsidies Low Pointing out that Alaskan planes | receive far less mail subsidy than | airlines in the States, Woodley said that if fares were drastically re-| duced then carriers in the Territory | would have to obtain a higher sub- sidy. Talking further on fares he said, “We are proposing a reasonable re- duction from the present fares to) eight cents a mile basis. We have no prejudice against establishing an | even lower fare if the success of the proposed operation warrants not only on the South Alaska route but | on all our other operations.” If granted the route Woodley would operate daily schedules with DC-3 aircraft and when, in the fu- ture, the volume of traffic warrant- ed, he said, DC-4s would be placed on the Seattle-Alaska run. He quoted the final statetment | from the report submitted to the examiners: “I feel that a trunk-line U S.

Under the bill all juvenile commit- ments will be made to the Depart- ment of Public Welfare. , Present laws covering both sit- uations have been held to be dis- {criminatory and therefore Federal matching funds have been refused the Territory to aid their admin- istration. Public Welfare Director Russell Maynard and Don C. Foster, head of the Alaska Indian Service, both were called for testimony in regard jto the bills. Questioning brought out that the proposed new dependent children law would make the Terri- | tory responsible for a maximum of {200 additional children, at an in- creased cost to the Territory, how- ever, of only about $22,000 a bien- nium, inasmuch as 45 percent to 50 percént of Social Security funds would become available to the Pub- {lic Welfare Department for aid to both whites and Indians. | In order to prevent duplication |of services, it was explained, an understanding has been reached be- | tween the Welfare Department and the Indian Service, whereby the In- dian Service will conduct all social | investigations in areas predominate- ly native, leaving the remainder of the Territory for administration by| Doubleheader BASKETBALL GAME DOUGLAS GYM TONIGHT JuneauHigh vUs.
