Grades Top Frosh 19-14,
32nd Edges Varsity 34-32
In Friday Basketball
By Herb Williams
In Friday’s games at the High
School gym the 7th - 8th Grades
beat the High School Frosh 19-14
and the 32nd Detachment edged
the varsity 34-32.
The Polar Bears were limited
to just six men because of the
absence of Ozenna, Sahlin, and
I. Larsen, gone for a two-week
training period with the ANG.
The 32nd Det. led throughout
the game, but the High School
rallied and nearly tied the game
in the fourth period but fell short.
Clarence Willoya for the losers
was high point man with 13, fol
lowed by George Bell with nine.
Honsburger, Gilzow and Minnick
scored seven points each. The
half-time score was 29-15.
In the preliminary, the Grade
School Mustangs made it two in
a row over the Freshmen. The
winners were led by George Kost
and Don Newton with nine and
six points respectively. For the
losers, Dave Bell eight, Robert
Summers four, and Sam Mogg
and Robert Herman two points
each. The Mustangs led at half
time eight to four.
Games out at the base tonight,
starting at 7, the Army against
the 32nd and the CAP will meet
the 142nd Radar.

Old “Vic” Still Hauling
Cargoes To Alaska
A lOVfe-ton diesel engine base
being rushed to Anchorage to
prevent a threatened “brownout”
was loaded aboard the Alaska
Line’s steamer Victoria, Dec. 18
at Pier 42. The power plant in
Anchorage normally operates 3
generators but one has been shut
down for over a month, creating
a critical power shortage. The
new diesel engine base will house
a rebuilt generator unit.
In her 81 years afloat, the Vic
toria has carried many kinds of
cargo. During the days of the
gold rush the Victoria brought out
as much as two million dollars
worth of gold in a single voyage.
When the ship went to Nome
she was usually the first to arrive
in the spring and the last to
leave in the fall.
With the delivery of the diesel
engine base to avert the power
shortage, the old “Vic” lives up
to her tradition of getting impor
tant cargoes through.
LAW WRITERS TAKE NOTE
In promulgating esoteric cogi
tations, philosphical or psycho
logical observations, beware of
platitudinous ponderosities. Let
your extemporaneous decantings
and unpremeditated excurses be
free of thrashonical bombast and
exponible vocal vagaries. Eschew
all conglomerations of flatulent
garrulity, asinine affectation and
jejune babblement. Let your state
ments possess a clarified concise
ness, coalescence, consistency, and
compact comprehensibleness.
In other words, BE BRIEF !

day is 5000 pounds of milk yearly.
