This, counts 10 points. Every so often, free throws are al- lowed “just because,” with this sort of thing going on until a miss. Time out for refreshment means nourish- ing food, the softy Rotarians pro- viding themselves with chairs and tables, too. Lights out at one point, while the scoreboard catches up, from 18-16 to 86-all. At every rest period, Carter,'done out in Prince Albert coat and stove- pipe hat dashes out to measure everyone stretched out. Carter made special awards some- of course, where toward the end. Over-size medals went to Carl Rusher (L) for being the dullest player; Elton Engstrom, (R), the clumsiest; Joe Werner, (L), the slowest; Milton Furness (L), the most valuable pos- sibility; and Dr. Whitehead (R), the biggest crab. Hugh Wade was chief susten- ance supplier and every member of both clubs was in there somewhere, whether recognizable or not. As the scoreboard suddenly showed a 97-97 score at the end, team cap- tains called coins to decide the win- ner. By that time, the score was 38-98. The Lions had the technical win, and both ' captains were awarded what service club members doubtless consider “suitable tro- phies.” Half-time brought clever tumb- ling routines by Kenneth Allen and Hank Harmon as well as a serious little ceremony. President Val Poor of the Lions Club introduced Coach Dade Nickel of Juneau Hi, and presented Capt. Bill Sperling with the handsome gold trophy for the Crimson Bears’ winning the All-Alaska Champion- ship. In turn, Sperling handed it over to Principal Leslie B. Avrit after the 10-man squad and the stu- dent manager had been introduced and applauded. Further, Poor announced that both the Capitol and 20th Century Theatres, through the courtesy of | their managers, Ted Heyder and Zalmain Gross, respectively, had a pair of complimentary tickets for each man. Co-chairmen Keith G. Wildes (Rotary) and Alva Blackerby (Lions) ask that everyone be thanked who contributed to the outstanding success of the novelty event. These appreciations go, they ask, to Mikes of Douglas and the Juneau Columbians; to school offi- cials, and especially, to Alex Rus- sell, janitor; the Juneau City Band; Jim Vuille and Evan Scott, who refereed the real match; and The Sunday Press, The Dalily Alaska Empire and radio station KINY for publieity. “We are pleased,” said the co- chairmen, “that, through such won- derful cooperation, there was a minimum of expense, providing the maximum sum possible for the Library fund.” DAISY CONRIGHT IS BRIEF VISITOR HERE Mrs. Jack (Dalsy) Conright ar- rived in Juneau yesterday via PNA from her home in' Anchorage for brief visit with her sister, Mrs. L. {A.

PROSPECTOR SEES BIG ADVANTAGE IN ~ TAKU RIVER ROAD George Bacon, an independent prospector with faith in a minera- lized rock formation paralleling the International Boundary in South- east Alaska, is looking for a road. He spent several days in Juneau | talking with government road offi- clals about building a means of reaching what he terms “probably |the most mineralized region in iNm'Lh America”—the great body of 'rn‘h rock which is roughly one- | third in Alaska and two-thirds in ;C:mndn, and centered near Tulse- | quah. Bacon, who has been a prospector and mine operator for more than 25 years, believes that there are plenty of rich ore bodies waiting | to be found between the headwaters of Portland Canal, the Taku River, in places not readily accessible. “It's rough country,” he said yes- terday. “The only places which have been touched are along the rivers. You can only travel along the streams."” | And it's along the Taku River that Bacon would like to see a road built. He's a Canadian with interests in mines at the head of the river |But he's sure there would be ad- vantages for the American side if such a road were built. In fact, while he was here Bacon went to the trouble of finding out the re- quirements and regulations govern- ing claim-staking by foreigners. He knows some likely spots on this side of the line. Bacon sat in a conference between H. A. Stoddart, division engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads and Col. John R. Noyes, head of the Alaska Road Commission. Any road building would be under jurisdic- tion of the bureau. Both Colonel Noyes and Stoddart agreed that a road could be built without too much difficulty on the south side of the Taku River, en- tailing about 15 or 16 miles. The Canadians would have some 10 miles to build into Tulsequah, cen- ter of the rich mining area. From Tulsequah to Atlin is 130 miles, entailing not insurmountable work. Atlin is already connected | with the Alaska Highway. Bacon said there are assurances that the Canadians would build a road to the border if the Americans would extend it to tidewater. Such a road would mean for the Cana- dian side the possibility of nearly year-round transport of concen- trates with only one change—f{rom truck to ship. For the American side it would mean development of mineralized areas on and near the river, a less sporatic supplying of the Canadian mines, and a year-round flow of concentrates to the smelter in Ta- coma, Wash., Bacon said. For Juneau it would mean an autq route from Washington State through Vancouver and Atlin, to tidewater at the mouth of the Taku, Bacon said. From there a car ferry could operate to Juneau. The idea is not a new one, Bacon declared. It has been broached many times in the past, as lately as last summer. o He left for Tulsequah by air yes- terday to begin his 1950 work in finding and developing mineral de- posits. While such a road would be built primarily for Tulsequah’s benefit, it would affect Southeast Alaska’s prosperity to a great extent, it was said. The Panhandle section Is closely linked economically Wwith western British Columbia, and what helps one would help the other, ob- servers declared. HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Frances Dean,' Mrs. Robert Nelson, and William Crist were ad- mitted to St. Ann’s hospital yes- terday. Mrs. George Matson and Mrs. Wallace Ludtke and her in- fant son were dismissed. SON FOR NELSONS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nelson of Juneau became the parents of a son shortly after midnight this morning. The child, born at St. Ann’s hospital at 12:09 a.m., weighed seven pounds four ounces. PALMA COMPOUND 1S BETTER ERROL FLYNNIS | STAR IN FEATURE AT ZOIH}ENIURY Errol Flynn faces his toughest opponent in Warner Bros.' “Escape Me Never,” opening tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, with Ida| Lupino, Eleanor Parker and Gig Young heading a distinguished cast The opponent in this particular film does not swing a sword, or shoot a 44 as Flynn’s main battle in “Es-| cape Me Never” is with a piano. | Cast as a musician in the film| version of Margaret Kennedy's cele- | brated novel and play, Flynn had to play on a pianoforte and a con- certina. Ida Lupino is called upon | for two songs, but whereas this act- ress is an experienced singer, Flynn | and musical instruments have never | before worked together in pictures. The ordeal was survived success- fully however, and the music especi- | ally written for “Escape Me Never” by Erich Wolfgang Korngold is given an honest presentation. Besides Flynn's musical accom- | plishments in the film, a ballet se- | quence by the distinguished dancers of the Ballet Russe, Milada Mladova and George Zoritch, Is another| highlight. SOROPTIMIST (LUB HEARS FAST DEBATE BY SCHOOL TEAMS| A lively debate by the teams of | the Juneau high school, was the main feature of the Soroptimist club luncheon in the Terrace room of the Baranof hotel Friday noon.
