MARRIED MEN TUMBLE JUVENILES:
Three times have Company K»s best, cor*>03fti single men, challenged the
old married N.C.O-1 s an! three times h-rve the boys been ronned on. On Oct. 26
the first game was played and the oldtiners took all three gane3 for a very
decisive Victory. On N0v. 2, a rejuvenate! five tried again, but the N.C.O.'s
were so strong in the first game that they lost the next two by small margins
and still had the boys for total points. After another week of very satisfac —
tory practice the youngsters cane back with blood in their eyes and determined
to subdue the benedicts, but theye seemed to be too much of Powell, Stevenson,
Gebhardt, Harney and Oolar, so all three games went to the old timers. If any*
one doubts the ability of the beiiedicts, just watch the boys at practice and
then think of the old boys getting 219 more in three games!

BIG ATTENDANCE AT JOINT ARMISTICE DAY SERVICE3 IN HAINES
Ihe seating capacity of the Haines Presbyterian Church was taxed to its
utmost capacity last Sunday evening by the crowd which attended the Armistice
Day services there. A feature of the program was the singing and recitations
by the Haines Public School children and the Mission school* Gardiner Cook,
son of Captain and Mrs. Cook, took part in the number presented by the inter*
mediate grades of the public school, and Hiss Bafy Loving in that presented by
the higher grades. Judge Stout of Haines, made a short address in which he
called attention to the fact that the Armistice, despite hopes, had put no end
to r; that until all nations lived up to the teachings of Christ, there would
be no end to war. Captain R.C. NrighSt delivered an address. -Die services were
conducted by the Rev. Hr. Bromley of Haines Mission*
IHE SIB.OLLER SAYS^THIS 73EK:- "The only similarity between Pete Allard, the would
be pugilist fron Sitlca and an amateur raiio set is that they are both better at
receiving than at sending. ^llard, *vho seems a very decent 3ort of man, exhibit
ed wonderful ability as an absorber of punishment and of gameness by taking it as
long as he did* As a prize fighter, however, he is very nuch of a novice, espec
ially when in the ring lith a nan of the fistic attainments of Soldier Butler.The
later is doubtless the best ring nan ever in Alaska and he is certainly the clean
est fighter ever seen here. He knows just how, when snd ^Aiere to deliver a punch
that will produce slumber. It has been suggested that a contest be arranged be
tween Butler and the two Indians, Allard andCollier, and that he taken them on to
gether, each apparing in alternate rounds. The later Frank Gotch, known at the
time as *1rank Kennedy, once took on two different 'wrestlers in alternate rounds
in the north, and it wa3 a decidedly interesting contest—until the locals were
sprawled out on their backs."
SOUTHEASTERN ALASKANS iTANT TSRRI TORY UEVIDED; Ac cor ling to newspaper reports, the
election Tuesday in Southeastern Alaska on the question of dividing the territory,
resulted in an overwhelming victory for the division. Of 1,353 votes cast, 1,264
were for division* Haines had but one vote opposed to division^ according to lo
cal reports. Reasons given for this sentiment are that the majority of the peo
ple and taxible property is in southeastern Alaska, which is taxed for the main- *
tenance of the rest of the territory•
TREATS NOT ON THEM. THEY STILL PROVIDED DOUGHNUT,}-S0 confident were the un
married men that tlie treats would be on thebenediets after the recent feaskstfea
bowling contest mentioned above, that Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Golar were pre
vailed upon to bring doughnuts andpuneh to tlie contest. Perhaps the youngsters
had better come prepared to put out the eats next tine.
