JUNEAU BOY IS ROOKIE ON BIG TEAM, PICINP.I. with Thomas G. «“Tommy” Kelly, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kelly and grandson of Mrs. Jack Hayes of Juneau, along with a photograph of the Juneau boy, entitled “Rookie of the Year” appears in a recent Seattle Scene column by Frank Lynch, in the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Lynch’s column concerned young men, aged 19, 20 and who had enlisted in the Armed Forces last month at the Seattle recruiting station and he had chosen Kelly of the group for an in- terview on how he had come to join up and what he thought of the sit- uation generally. Lynch called the Armed Forces The Big Team, “Dear Old Kahki,” taking a leaf, he said, from the boys in sports today. He found Kelly and his fellow re- cruits not concerned as to why some joined Old Kahki, and some didn’t, why some were picked, and some, for the moment at least passed over. They had come on their own to apply for training camp, not agog at the chance to join Old Kahki, but quietly going about the business. There had been sad talk to the effect that they were bornj in a generation earmarked for war.! “It's the way it is, Kelly said. “What can you do about it?” When Lynch asked Kelly was he | maybe a little anxious to get on the club, that grand Team that has never lost a game, Kelly replied, blushing, “I'm not (hat much of aj hand with the corn.” The new recruits set out for tr: ing camp the very night of the day they had signed up with “ Old Kahki” and climbed aboard a Fort Lewis bus. No popping flashbulbs, no rela- tives, friends or wild-eyed fans to see them away, wrote Lynch. ‘If Kelly, and the others, were disappointed they didn't show it. And, of course, there are a great many of us who think of all who go | as candidates for All American honor. A very great many of us think of them as Rookies of the Year.” Kelly left Juneau shortly before Christmas and had been studying and living with relatives in Seattle. He operated the Parcel Delivery with his parents and worked last summer in the Haines district. Be-| fore he left this past fall he was on thé Columbia Company basket- ball team and last year played w the Moose quintet.
