Glenn Ford and Willlam Holden are starred in this epic action drama with color by Technicolor, which is a roaring tale of bruising, brawl- ing young frontier, pulsing to life in the backwash of battle. Sharply etched on the broad canvas of new- born Colorado in post-Civil War days is the personal drama of -two men, lifelong friends, who tear the West apart over a woman. ‘The thundering action starts with} a headlong rush as the terrible massacre of Rebel troops at Jacob’s Gorge in the waning days of the war, unfolds on the screen. Ford, who has ordered it, increasingly te- itrays a fiendish blood lust which overshadows his love for Ellen Drew, and his regard for Holden, his best friend, who also loves Miss Drew. When the raw frontier flames into violence, Ford sees it as an excuse to carry on a hanging party at Exe- cution. Grove with an innocent man as victim. Holden, outraged by this iblcody act, breaks with his friend when the latter attempts more} hangings. 1 1 This is just a starter to events leading up to a smashing climax.

OVER SIXTY SKIERS ONSUNDAY OUTING Probably the onzy people in Ju- neau and vicinity who rejoiced at the week’s heavy snowfall were those daredevils of the hickory sticks commonly known as “skiers.” Sixty-odd people sallied fort! Sunday to make a day of it at the Second Meadow despite the huge drifts. Due to the snow flurries that made skiing visibility bad on the trail this weekend, no races werr held as had been previously plan- ned. Before leaving for the trail, how- ever, 22 members of the Juneat Ski Club were fortified with a very tel's Gold Rcom. Guests at the morning get-together were Mr. and Mrs. Ward Williams of Seward. A short talk about ski safety patrols in Oregon was given by Buddy Hun- ter and the group discussed plans for a ski club paper while lingering over coffee cups. 1 SERGEANT KILLED AT i FAIRBANKS BY JEEP FAIRBANKS -- Sergeant First Class Severino P.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMP Dispute Arises Over Result of Rose Bowl Game; Reported Fumble Starts Big Discussion !, PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 3—®— It's been chilly in these parts, but |the arguments over Art Murakow- | ski's touchdown for Northwestern in whole landscape today. These arguments are, of course, unofficial, but for the fans' hot stove there’s fuel aplenty for a whole long winter; mayte many winters Officially, that score board still says Northwestern 20, California 14. That's the way it’ll stay. The heated discussion centers around what fullback Murakowski did or didn’t do, the newspaper pic- tures thereof, the telecast and what the fans saw, or thought they saw, especially California rooters. ARGUE ON FUMBLE | Murakowski fumbled, and they'l argue from here to there on wheth- er he fumbled an instant kefore or after he crossed the Cal goal line. The officials ruled it a touchdown on the ground he had possession of the ball crossing the final white line, then fumbled. That made the |score 13 to 7 for Northwestern. If the decision had been that Murakowski ing the line, the score would have ‘stayed at 7-7 at the moment and |recovery of th loose ball in the end |zone by California’s Will Lotter, | would have given the Bears the ball on their own 20-yard line. Several newspaper pictures seem to indicate that Murakowski fum- |bled before he got to the goal line, but even some hotheads concede that camera angles are deceptive. WHAT OFFICIALS SAY | Here's what some of the officials |say: Referee Jimmy Cain: “Jay Ber- wanger (field judge) was in a po- |sition to see the play and he called Murakowski over the goal line for a touchdown. The rule is explicit on the point that when the ball passes on or over the goal line it is a touchdown. On his decision, which had to be right because he was where he could see, Murakowski hagd possession of the ball when he crossed the line.” Berwanger, famed former Univer- sity of Chicago star, checked out of is hotel without commenting pub- licly. Coach Lynn Waldorf of Califor- Inia: “If the offi¢ials said he was |over the goal line, that’s good enoush |for me.” EXPLANATION MURAKOWSKI: “I know it (that he was across before fum- bling). There was only a yard to go and I was through the line and over before somebody grabbed me from behind and pulled me back for a second. That’s when I lost the ball.” Northwestern’s Frank Aschen- brenner started the ground-hugging scoring parade Saturday with a 73- yard first quarter gallop. A couple of plays later California’s Jack Jen- sen went 67 yards to tie the score. Tom Worthing'’s 38-yard punt re- turn set up the much-discussed Murakowski score which gave Northwestern a 13-7 halftime lead. Jack Swaner put the Bears ahead 14-13 in the third quarter by going over from the four after an 85-yard California march. The Wildcat's winning punch, a 43-yard scoring run by Tunnicliff, ended an 88- yard drive with less than three min- utes left in the game. —-— Flexible Flier Sleds at Madseu’s.

North Car-; olina State, which won last year, and unbeaten North Carolina have | not seen conference action. | Southwest: Starts this: week. Texas (8-2) has test mark so far.

The' farthest north--and wierdest | —football game of a bowl-crowded day wound up in scoreless tie when sharp-eyed officials found where | Ray Keelin of Wheeler, Texas, had ! stepped out of bounds on the coal- | dusted 10-yard line. i Keelin mushed 40 yards through the foot-deep snow and 25-below- ! zero weather after catching a pass mittered by George Raidel Youngstown, Ohio.
