BASKET BALL
(Contributed)
Does McCarthy play basket ball?
ask the Kennecott boys, it was at least
a form of modified indoor football but
every one was satisfied and are anxious- ;
ly awaiting fcr the next game.
Promptly at i^.30 p. m. last Satur
day the looked for series of games
with Kennecott stilted. Kennecctt
immediately jumped into the leadwith
their combination, Scubfce to Myers to1
Saari and this was the combination
that won.
Scubbi’s jumping with Meyers spe
ed and Saari to back both of them
were a puzzle to the McC.A.C. boys
for the first two quarters at the end of
which the score was 13 to 3.
Beginning the second half the home
team bucked up and at the end of the
game were going strong.
The final score 21 to 8 ill favor cf
Kennecott does not tell the full story
as both the Umpire and Referee will
testify, as the terms viere very evenly
matched although Kennecott deserved I
to wi i As all losing teams have an
alibi, McC.A C. claims they went in
vith Jr ck O' Neill on one leg and H <
Olson was severly used in the first half
*rd Gticken had two cracked ribs, but
otherwise no kicks as they claim Ken
necott was lucky and from now on
they will need all that same luck.
Carl Stattel refereed the first half 8c
HelJerick umpired, changing in the
second half. While it is haid to pick
out in lividuils, Scubbi and Meyers for
Kennecott and A nderson and Snyder
fcr McCarthy did particukrly good
work. Saari and O’Neill took the hard- j
est tumbles Special mention should
be made of Snyder’s wall dive, and
Saari’s neck tackle of Wickman. both
of Kennecott.
The teams lined up as follows:
Kennecott, Saari, (Capt.) Meyers,
Guard. Scubbi, Center. Wickman, Fd.

RICT
NOTICE is hereby given that

EDITORIAL
Notwithstanding: the fact that
it was semi officially announced
that the Hon. Jim had been re
commended for the Governor
ship by the Secretary of the In
terior, we fully expected tohave
the pleasure of announcing the
fact of Mr. Hazelet’s appoint
ment as Governor for Alaska in
this weeks issue, taking into
consideration the fact, that “He
had the support of all the Repub
lican Clubs and the personal en
dorsement of the National Com
mitteeman, Mr. J. C. McBride.”
If such strong unbiased ard
honorable support as was pre
sented for Mr. Haz'det is going
to be absolutely repudiated at
Washington on account of Wick
ersham’s critisims etc. etc. it is
time for all decent voters to
think of getting a home on the
Ouside and turn Alaska over to
the Indians
'‘Alaska for A1 •skans” is the
slogan. Sure, the Alaska of ice
and snow,of high transportation
rates and no representation, is
for Alask ins. Bat the meat of
the nut, the appointments! then
Alaska for Outsiders—,s not
this nearer the mark?
This is not trie first time that
a good Alaskan has been turned
down for an appointment in his
own territory, and 0 wont ba
the last if oivsent conditions
continue However no news is
good news; and oy this time
next vVeeu we shall probably
find that ve have been worry
ing unneccessaril.N, which is not
unusual in a publisher.
Washington. April 1st From
Indications here it appears as
though Wickersh am and Hazelet
are both out of the runni n g for
the Alaska Governorship
But theCordova Times of March
30th. announces the receipt of
a wire from the national capital
that Mr. Hazelet’s appointment
is practically assured.
