HUSKIES IN
KC TOURNEY
By JACK HEWINS
SEATTLE, March 20 —(API—You’ve
heard about Houbregs who’s hot
Tjrith a hook and Guisness who’s
great on defense, but the guy who
U leading the Washington Huskies
ihto the Western Regional Hoop
scramble at Kansas City is a pale,
skinny blond named La Don Hen
son, and don’t say we didn’t warn
iou.
The Huskies, basketball cham
pions of the Pacific Coast confer
ence, left here by air yesterday
transferred to a train at Denver
and were due in Kansas City to
day. They will battle Texas A. and
M. Thursday night in the western
section Of the National Collegiate
A. A. tournament.
; Whether they go on to the second
round and on to the finals could
depend on the thin, undemonstrative
Henson, who is captaining the team
for the second successive year.
* Frank Guisness and high Bobby
Houbregs are the boys who do the
heavy scoring and land on the all
star teams. Doug McClary and sub
forward Duane Enochs catch your
eye with spectacular rebounding
and corner shooting. Tubby little
Louie Soriano is the team’s holler
and-color man.
But Henson — he’s only the cap
tain, only the man who delivers
when the team is behind and a
couple of quick buckets are needed.
When the team was rolling at a
hot pace in midseason Henson's
scoring was only average, but then
the race got serious. So did La Don.
In his last six conference games
he tried 46 shots and connected on
38 for a .609 percentage.

DAMAGES SETTLED
OUT OF COURT
A settlement out of court was
made in the case of Harvey Hildre
versus C. F. Lytle Co. and Green
Construction Co. scheduled for Jury
trial in the Federal Court this
morning. Harvey had filed suit
against the contracting firm asking
judgment in the amount of $450 for
alleged damages to his automobile
when it was struck by a truck
owned by the defendants on the
Haines Highway last summer.
The amount of the compensation
agreed on between the plaintiff and
defendants was not disclosed.
The members of the petit jury
were convened at 10 o'clock this
morning in court and with no cases
on the calendar presently set for
jury trial were dismissed by Judge
Folta subject to call on ten days'
notice.
Judge Folta continued the case
of Wilmer Austin until Friday
morning, after appointing J. A. Mc
Lean as his counsel. Austin, age
18, had earlier waived indictment
and entered a plea of guilty to a
burglary charge of taking funds
from the office of the City Cafe.
The Judge instructed McLean to
make investigation concerning
Austin before a sentence is pro
nounced.
Judge Folta allowed the claims
against the Douglas Plumbing and
Heating Company, in priority as
named by The First National Bank
of Juneau, the Alaska Personnel
Services and the United States of
America. Testimony was heard from
the plaintiffs in court Monday.
Sentence was continued until 10
a. m., May 1, on a motion to show
cause in a contempt of court for
failure by the defendant to make
payments to plaintiff as required
by a divorce decree granted pre
viously in the case of Eleanor Mur
ray versus Reece H. Murray.
The case of Wheat and Scott
versus H. Blyberg is set for March j
22. Fred Eaataugh is attorney for
the plaintiffs and J. A. McLean is j
attorney for the defendant.
It is expected the present calen
dar will be cleared by the end of
the week in time for the Court
to go to Ketchikan for a court term
set to open there March 26. The
Court party is scheduled to leave
Juneau Sunday on the steamship
Denali.
LONGER LEASES
ALASKA AIRPORTS
ASKED BY SAWYER
WASHINGTON. March 20.—<2P>—
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer has
asked Congress to authorize 20-year
leases of airport property in Alaska
to private concerns.
In a letter to the Senate, Sawyer
said the action is necessary to
insure proper development of
federal airports in the Territory.
He said Fairbanks and Anchorage
have aeclined to pay a share of the
cost of the developments and that
the only way private capital can be
interested in building hangars and
providing other services is by per
mitting them to occupy the prop
erty for 20 years.
The present lease limit is five
years.
