Cole says
corded his union as apposed to
: the merger.
The only other dissenting
votes came from Dominic Mer
olla, of the Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,
industrial council of the Un
ited Steelworkers, and Frank
England of the iSprinlgfield, 111.,
industrial council.
Quill argued It hat the merg
er would place the CIO under
the AFL thumb. He charged
also that proposed constitution
of the combined organization
i lacked sufficient safeguards a
gainst racial discrimination,
racketeering and inter-union
raiding.
An array of other CIO lead
ers took issue to Quill’s stand.
They included Walter P.
Ruether, CIO president; David
J. McDonald, head of the Steel
workers; and Joseph A. Beirne,
president of the Communica
tions Workers.
They said (that, even if there j
were disagreement over actual
wording of the constitution, the
new organization could be de
pended upon to implement the
words with spirit.

Sitka wins
cumibe in the championship
round tomorrow night.
Employing a pressing man
to-man defense for the first
time in memory, the Wolves
had the smaller SJS quint
off balance throughout the en
tire (game. The SJS crew had
difficulty in finding openings
and their (basket attempts
from the field were few and
far apart.
To the SJS quint, it was a
bitter disappointment. Pressed
and dodged from the opening
tipoff and right down to the
wire, the blue and gold was'
never in a position to muster
together its forces.
Though ragged at times, the
Wolves showed flashes of bril-l
liance and were in command
the 1st two quarters.
Field goals by Carle, Gray,
Hayward and Grant put SJS
out in front, 8-6, in the first
frame. Led by Wood’s 5 points
while Carle of SJS was busy
the Wolves stayed in the game
pushing in 7 points in a wild
second quarter that saw both
teams increase the tempo (to a
breakneck pace that never
slackened. Sitka took the lead,
17-16, moments before the half
time and failed to drop behind
thereafter.
Sheldon Jackson, badly out
done under I he back boards,
for all practical purposes, losT.
the ball game in the third
suarter. Held scoreless for 8
full minutes in a gruellinjg
third quarter, the Warriors
dropped 11 points in arrears as
Pax)1 on did the most damage
for Sitka with 4, while Fred
rickson, Nelson and Wood had
2 each.
Outscored by 16-14 in the
final quarter, John Borbridge’s
outfit played its best ball but
couldn’t overcome the moun
tain size lead Sitka had built
up in the third period.
1iVood was the big offensive
•threat for Sitka and showed a
creditable 17 points for his ef
forts. Paxton had 9, Nelson 7,
Fredrickson 6, Smith 3 and
Martin 1.
Les Carle was good for 9
points in leading the way for
SJS. Gerald Gray, the usually
dependable bell-weather for
the (blue and gold, tallied 8;
Hayward had 4; Hudson 3; and
Grant and Wilson 2 each.
Gil Nettinqs
• by Gil Truitt
Last night’s game answered
a lot of questions but left;
many still unanswered. One iit j
did answer, however, is that
Sitka can play the man-to-man
defense that many thought it
couldn’t . having now
seen the Wolves in action, to
morrow’s title game wii.h Edge '
cum'be should be a dilly if the
Island eagers are “up” as they
were in their practice sessions
with the ANB . Sitka,
the habitual “jinx” (.earn to
SJS, will have to overcome the
spell that Edgecumbe has on
them . those in the
know, expect SJS to be trou
blesome despite its loss to Sit
ka last night . this corn
er says it will be a three way
fight for the local crown.
this observer would do any
thing to see the Juneau Crim
son Bears visit here on Feb.
24-26 ibul; we’ll be long-gone
by then . 8 hours of cor
respondence work is time con
suming so our last whistle
blowinlg job will be tomorrow,
Maybe then we will be able
to give better game reports ..
