Aukruk Board Bowlers
Disappointed by Small
City Council Turnout
By TOM MARTIN
Board Chairman
A number of spectators showed
up Sunday afternoon to see the
playoff between the Bowlers, Inc.
board and the city council. They
were greatly disappointed when
only two eouncilmen showed, Carl
Glavinovich and Keith Hedreen.
The mayor being out of town was
excused but the missing council
men were listed as afraid of bowl
ing combat.
Since the entire Aukruk Board
was on hand, volunteers were ac
cepted to fill in for the council
and the game was on. With the
help of Ricky Young, Larry Mar
tin, George Waldheim and Ben
Young the council team defeated
the Aukruk Board by 90 pins.
That’s the way it goes. So we
will sharpen up a bit and then
issue a new challenge.

Sen. Humphrey Calls For
Public Airing of Question
Of Soviet Missiles In Cuba j
WASHINGTON Sen. Hubert j
Humphrey, D-Minn., called Tues
day for public congressional hear
ings on the controversy over whe
ther offensive Soviet missiles and
bases remain in Cuba.
Humphrey, the deputy senate
leader, told a news conference he
believes public hearings should be
held since there have been charges
that the Russian military buildup
on the island is more menacing
than the Kennedy administration
admits.
“Candor is required in this sit
uation,” Humphrey said. “We
should have open sessions on these
matters. There isn’t any informa
tion that is going to be kept secret
anyway.”
Without staying so directly,
Humphrey indicated he thinks
President Kennedy favors public
hearings.
But at the White House, Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger, when
asked about this, said he thought
Humphrey was speaking just for
himself. Salinger said that so far
as he knew Kennedy had not ex
pressed himself on the question of
public hearings.

nurses at Iowa Methodist Hospital
read: “The uniform skirt may not
be shorter than two inches below
the popliteal space.” That’s physi
cian talk for the back of the knee
joint, folks.

Basketball Teams
Rated Next Week
Where will the Nome Nanooks
be ranked?
Rating of 24 Western Alaskan
high school basketball teams are
due next Monday in the State Act
ivities Commissioner’s office. Fol
lowing the ranking by members of
the Western H.S. Activities Assn.
Schools, the top eight teams will
be subject to challenge by other
member schools.
Top rated teams will be notified
of their position by Friday, Feb.
15, and challenge games are sched
uled for Feb. 21-23 on the court
of the team challenged.
The eight seeded teams are de
termined by summary report of all
member schools with 20 points for
the strongest team, 19 for the next
strongest, and on down with the
cumulative total determining final
placement.
Any unranked team (below No.
9) can challenge any of the seeded
teams. The challenge is for the
best two-out-of-three games on the
court of the challenged team. No
seeded team is required to accept
more than one challenege, but
must accept a challenge or forfeit
their spot in the standings.
If a challenger defeats a seeded
team the challenger replaces that
team in the tourney. If more than
one team challenges the same
seeded team, the challenger that
ranks highest on the rating sum
mary has first choice.
Following the challenge round
the eight top teams will meet in
the West Anchorage gym for a
one-game elimination, consolation
bracket tourney the following
weekend, Feb. 28-March 2.
If Nome High should rank in
the top eight in the summary rat
ings they will probably be chal
lenged by one of the other schools
and would host that team in a
three-game playoff Feb. 21-23. If
NHS does not receive ranking in
the top eight they will have to
challenge one of the top eight
teams, and will have to play on
that team’s floor.
