ANCHORAGE WINS
SECOND GAME BY
SCORE 7 TO 3
In a fast game the Anchorage girls
last night outplayed the Seward five,
winning the second game of the ser
ies, by the score of 7 to 3. The visit
ing team smothered the local players,
blocking their attempts at field goals
and keeping the ball pretty much in
their own territory the greater part
of the time. The guarding tactics of
the Anchorage team and pass plays
were unfathomable, apparently, by the
local quintet, who went down to de
feat fighting desperately to the last.
The boys first and second teams
played once more, both teams show
ed considerable improvement over
their playing of the night before. The
game was rough but the playing wras
fast and marked by a few streaks of
team work on the part of the first
team.. Nip Johnson was the outstand
ing player of the evening. The score
was 31 to 4 in favor of the first team.
Both sides played a clean game,
but a hotly contested one, some of the
rallies around the ball bringing the
audience to their feet times without
number. Without detracting in any
way from the local players, the game
was lost because they simply were
outplayed, and not through any ele
ment of luck or chance. Our girls
play a fine game, but lack team work
and practice in throwing. By the time
they visit Anchorage they will prob
ably be perfected to a point where
they will be dangerous antagonists
for any rival team.
So many good plays were made on
both sides it would be hard to give
personal mention £o any one player.
The line-up for the teams were as
follows:
Anchorage—Alice Lindsay, right
forward; Helen Welch, left forward;
Ruth Anderson, right guard; Edna
Allenbaugh, left guard; Gertrude Nel
son, center.
Seward—Dorothy Baughman, right
forward; Helen Balderston, left for
ward; Clara Manthey, right guard;
Melba Johnsrud, left guard; Patsy
Ray, Cecil Leslie, center.
Referee, Nip Johnson; scorer and
timekeeper, Wm. Manthey.
Resume of Game
Both teams started out fast and
furious but Referee Johnson soon put
a stop to this by calling them close.
The first quarter was hard fought and
at the end neither team had scored.
The girls came back in the second
quarter equally as strong. Anchorage
slipping out from under guard and
scoring one field basket, the quarter
ending 2-0. In the third quarter Bal
derston scored for Seward and also
made one free throw. Anchorage also
made a basket. The last quarter told
the tale, once more the visiting team
slipping out from under cover and
throwing a field basket. The game
was marked by many flashes of fine
playipg. Both teams put up a won
derful defensive game. The guarding
on both sides was perfect, and it was
only on rare occasions that either
team had a shot at the basket. Neither
Anchorage nor Seward had much luck
with their free throws, each team
annexing but one score out of many
throws.
Tonight’s game promises to be the
best yet as the Seward girls are de
termined that Anchorage shall not
take all three games. Coach Mathews
will probably use the same line up
she has used before, except Cecil Les
lie will probably play the entire game
being much recovered from her recent
attack of tonsilitis. The Anchorage
line-up may be changed as one of the
players is sick.
MARRIAGE EXPERT
MAY BE THE NEXT
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 3.—
When John and Hildy quarrel in time
to come, one or the other will step
to a phone and call the “marriage
expert” if predictions of Francis H.
McLean, field director of the Ameri
can Society for Organizing Family
Social Work, come true.
“It will be no reflection on the
mental ability of people if they call
an expert social worker to adjust
their marital difficulties,” McLean
said.
“The co-ed who marries a college
man needs the advice just as much
as the wife of a factory worker.
Married people can’t see their own
difficulties as some disinterested per
son can.”
M. Hadak, a former Sewardite, and
James Newman, also wrell known here,
arrived in town yesterday from Snug
Harbor on lower Kenai Lake, coming
by way of Moose Pass. The trip
was a hard one requiring about 18
hours mushing to reach the railroad.
The lake is frozen as far as Quartz
creek, but the ice is becoming spongy
and dangerous. Messrs. Newman and
Hadak have ten pairs of silver gray
foxes on their ranch at Snug Harbor
and the animals are doing nicely.
Jazz and Movies Are
Wrecking Home Life
Says Judge Lewis
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.—Jazz,
movies and the general craving for
excitement is battering cupid for a
knockout and driving nuptial barks
on the rocks.
That is the opinion of Judge Lewis
of the Domestic Relations Branch
of the Municipal court.
“The marriage institution is un
dergoing some sex-ious changes and
old adages which people once quot
ed as infallible are entirely discred
ted today,” Judge Lewis said.
“There are two good sources of
trouble and both at the root have
the same cause. It is, the modern
desire for excitement.
“People are not contented with the
simpler pleasures of the home that
satisfied nearly everyone a few years
back. Many matrimonial troubles
have arisen because the husband has
advanced more rapidly than the
wife, through his business, which
took him out among people, while
she remained at home.
“In other cases the wife does not
stay quietly at home. She also

LAW AIMED TO STOP
CUTTING OF XMAS TREES
SEATTLE, Dec. 31.—A measure
aimed to prevent the cutting of young
firs for Christmas trees and street
decorations was approved yesterday
among other proposed forest protec
tion laws by the Washington forestry
conference at Olympia, the legislative
committee announced today.
The conference urged that a section
of the 1923 forestry code, vetoed by
Gov. Hart, be re-enacted. The section
gave the State department of conser
vation and development authority to
close any forest region whenever a
forest fire crisis existed in April, while
slash burning was still allowed by
law. Stringent amendments to the
code, which would give state officers
authority to close forest operations in
times of critical danger and bar any
equipment endangering the woods
were recommended.
Among the recommendations were
reforestation plans.
craves excitement and attends the
movies regularly, cramming roman
tic fancies in her head which makes
her discontented with the matter-of
fact routine of married life.”
The divorce court is a real men
ace to family life, for in most cases
where children are to be given in
custody the family can not be treat
ed in piecemeal fashion—it must be
considered as a unit—according to
Judge Lewis.
Marriage is a most human insti
tution, one which must be protected
and steered safely through troubled
waters,” he said. “Those troubled
waters are not for the most part
huge, dramatic typhoons, but little
disturbances, day after day until
the husband or wife can bear it co
longer and feels there must be a
u-ical ending in the divorce court."
In ten years the Domestic Rela
tions Court here has handled cases
involving £3,353 families.
