When the team managers and the Lions Club Tournament Committee met to draw places last Monday morning, it was unanimously de- cided that the winner of the last game would be declared Champions If Ketchikan AA. wins tonight, they will be giving the Sitka ANB team a taste of the same medicine that team gave to the Metlakatla Vets in the 1949 Tournament Fans will recall that Metlakatla beat Sitka at the beginning of the 1949 Tournament, placing the lat- ter in the loser’s bracket. Sitka then went on to win every game atter| that while Metlakatla was doing the same in the winner’s bracket e final game saw Sitka the win- | r of the Tournament by beating Metlakatla, even though each team had only lost one game to each| other. The same condition may de- velop tonight unless Sitka ANB wins. The team managers and the Tour- | nament Committee felt that since the Tournament officially ends to- night, there is no chance for a play-| off if Ketchikan wins, and they must be declared Champions. The Tournament Committee points out that this was agreed upon before the first game. Following the final game tonight, the usual awards will be announced by Harry Sperling.

Wright won Friday's heat in the| 3,000, hundred-mile event in two | urs, eight minutes and 11 sec- | onds. | Dan Snyder, Eskimo racer tromi Kotzebug, finished only 29 seconds | behind. Earl Norris of Anchorage | finished in 2:09.05. | As they faced the final lap, the otal elapsed times for the 75 miles for the three leaders were: Wright 5:25:40; Snyder 6:31:26; Norris | 6:37:29. | Jake Butler of Gulkana, who had dog trouble Friday, ranked fourth with 6:53:44. The bad luck element which could knock any one of the leaders out of the running streak struck But- er yesterday. One of his dogs in- jured a shoulder, greatly reducing the pulling power of his already small team of five. Here's the order in which the rest of them stand: Ken O'Hara, Gul- tana; Danny Ewan, Gulkana; Dick Mitchell, Anchorage; Tom FProut, Nome; John Savetilek, Unalakleet; Charles Maclnnes, Anchorage; Elmer Brishois, Anchorage; Dale Potts, Anchorage; Ben Taylor, An- chorage. MAKERS OF "CHEAP SMOKES' SAY TAXES UNFAIR; ASK DROP WASHINBTON, Feb. 25— & — Manufacturers of “economy brands” of cigarettes asked Congress today to cut the taxes on their smokes. They argued that it was unfair for the government to collect the same amount in taxes on a pack of their cigarettes than it does ocn a pack of higher-priced cigarettes made by the big-name companies. Spokesmen for tobacco-growing North Carolina farmers quickly filed a protest. They argued that a con- sumer shift ‘to lower-priced cigar- ettes might reduce the price farmers get for their tobacco. The arguments were made to the House Ways and Means Committee which is considering revisions in the tax laws. CAA MEN HERE Eugene H.

(International) BOXER DIED BY ACCIDENT, DOCTORS SAY NEW YORK, Feb. 25—(M—Five doctors okayed boxer Lavern Roach for his fatal fight of last Wed- nesday night and an autopsy showed death was “accidental.” These facts were revealed at an open hearing conducted by the State Athletic Commission, with Chairman Eddie Eagan presiding and 10 witnesses in attendance. Eagan said a report will be made “sometime next week.” Another probe was launched be- hind closed doors at the district attorney’s office and will be con- tinued Monday. Twenty witnesses appeared for the investigation, in- cluding many who had attended the state commission’s hearing. Much of the testimony dealt with a sore nose Roach had complained of last Sunday. According to Dr. Alexander Schiff a physician on the commission staff, “Nothing happened to Roach’s nose during the fight that might have caused his death.” This statement was backed by Johnny Abood, | manager and close friend of Roach.
