Local College Boy Leads Poker Chase Fame as a greased pig chaser came to a local boy in Missoula, | last week. George L. Gucker, university sophomore and son of Jack Gucker,l Juneau broker, turned out to be |1| hero in a campus porker round up.| The Missoula paper the following aay commented on the occasion; thusly: “Yesterday's greased pig chase turneq into a cross-country ob- stacle race for the crowd and con- fusion for the contestants before they saw George L. Gucker, Juneau, Alaska, hoist the pig into its pen. “Somewhere along the trail an-; other pig chaser, Amos Svennung- sen, Big Sandy, was picking him- | sclf up and wondering where veryone was going. Amos thought had won. After all, he had eaught the greased swine not more than 30 seconds after the M club released the snorter before a charg- ing crowd of nearly 100 pig chasers. Amos let the pig go when Judge Lou Rocheleau, Missoula, told him he had won. “It was then that someone de- cided the person who put the pig in the pen would be the winner. It was darkly suggested that this was an M club trick to get the animal back without ti»m having tc get messed up in the process. So they all left it to Gucker. And George brought back -the bacon after a thrilling chase across the oval, past the Art building and over to the Jumbo lot. “The upshot of this greasy, con- fusing, crowd-pleasing chase was a detlaration by Judge Henry Ford that both Amos and George had won. They got $2.50 each and ap- peared to be happy as they trudged off to the showers. Few persons got close enough to offer congratu- lations. “Both Amos and George listed themselves as amateurs in the greased- pig-chasing game. George didn't think it had been worth the effort, while Amos made light of the contest by informing the crowd that “The pig wasn't hardly greasy at all.” i FOR SUNDAY Dl\l\ER Baked Ham or Roast Turkey, Salmon Creek Country Club. $2.50. *|Peninsula, where the |ing of Kukak Bay is | sure U.5.C.66.5.
