Government attorneys were re- lieved of the necessity of arguing these matters when the grand jury dropped these charges.

The grand jury is still in session investigating numerous sales of such property by the state of Idaho.

BASKETBALL HOPES Hopes are running high in the| Douglas basketball camp as six re- turning letter men and two reserves | - have returhed to form the nucleus of the 1951-52 court squad. Senior Herb Riley, Juniors Tom Cashen, John Jensen, Pat Wellington, Rich- | ard Isaak, Soph Tony McCurnnck: are hold-overs along with reserves Bob Johnson and Henry Stevens. Several newcomers also show pro- mise. Left handed Tony McCormick, at left forward, is again expected to do most of the scoring although right forward Tom Cashen may also | develop into a high pointer. Pivot | man John Jensen, who tops 6 foot 3 inches is rapidly becoming a mainstay under the backboards | along with guard Pat Wellington. | Richard Isaak, a smooth ball hand- ler is at the other guard post. Herb Riley, equally at home at either | guard or forward, will undoubtedly work into a starting position after he has had mere opportunity to practice. The Huskies meet the Alumni in | their opener on the home court, | November 21 and are expected to put up a good battle against lhei former Douglas stars. The alumni | squad includes Lou Bonnett und“ Curtis .Bach who had a hand in defeating Juneau several years ago, | and Frank and Harry Cashen who played with the University of Alaska several seasons. | The majorettes and band will also make their 1951 debut during hnif~J‘ time. o SHOW STARTS 7: STARTS 20:LCENTURY THEATRE » WHERE HITS ARE A HABIT!
