Crimson Bears
Take ARC; Sleris
Bows to Columbia
In a crowd whistling game that
saw the lead change hands durin
the first quarter, the Juneau High
School Crimson Bears pulled past
the Alaska Road Commission to win
66 to 41 in the first of a double
header basketball game last night
in the Juneau gym.
Engstrom of the Bears, fouled in
the first four seconds, dropped in
his basket from the gift line foi
the first marker of the game. The
ARC had tried for the first basket
but failed.
Mathews of the commission tied
the game at 4-all with a basket
from the end of the slot. He came
back with a free-throw tally.
Ninnis dropped in a swisher after
Mays of the commission got a free
throw and the score was tied at
6-all. Gift shots by Engstrom and
Ninnis followed by a basket by
Ninnis put the Bears in the lead
that was never lost again.
The second and third frame'
found both teams missing the rim
and the Bears losing passes. Mat
hews of the commission carried his
team in the third period.
Ninnis racked up 26 points for
the Bears as high point man while
Mathews tallied 16 as high man
for the ARC.
The Bears were off their usual
pace and missed more shots than
they would care to mention after
the first period.

Charles Favored
Over Joey Maxim
In Tonight's Go
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 12—UP)
Ezzard Charles, who confidently ex
pects to regain the heavyweight
crown next year, is a 1 to 3 favorite
to defeat light heavyweight cham
pion Joey Maxim in a 12 round
fight tonight.
The charity exhibition, in the
Cow Palace, will be broadcast at
7 p.m., PST.
It will be the fifth meeting of the
pair. Charles won all four previous
bouts by decision, including 15 round
defense of his title before Jersey
Joe Walcott knocked him out this
year.
Both fighters are at peak condi
tion. Maxim, who trained at nearby
Santa Rosa, looked impressive
against heavier sparmates. He is
a master boxer and lacks only a
real kayo punch to become a men
ace in the heavyweight- ranks.

one set out the markers for the
Storis with them getting through
the basket oftener. The Lumber
men were checking closely under
the basket but were missing their
own layins and setups.
In both the second and third
frames the Lumbermen hit the
basket on goals less than the Storis
crew but made the gift shots carry
them through.
Each team had a man thrown out
of the game in the closing minutes
of the game for getting into a beef.

Fores! Service
Mas Warns About
Christmas Fires
Be careful of fire starting in
Christmas trees, was the warning
issued today by R. L. Davlin, acting
supervisor of the Admiralty Divi
sion, U. S. Forest Service in Ju
neau.
"Fire experts are especially con
cerned with fires which occur at
the Christmas season. Fire Is tragic
at any time, but it is especially
so when it destroys property or
takes life during the time which
should be the happiest of the year,”
Davlin says.
Here are common-sense rules de
veloped by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters for the best bet
on Christmas safety:
1. Choose a small tree instead of
large one. A small tree can be
just as pretty and it’s less of a
hazard.
2. Don't set up the tree until just
a few days before Christmas. Keep
the tree outdoors until ready to in
stall it.
3. Set up the tree in the coolest
part of the house, away from radia
tors, heaters or fire-places. Stand
it in water, which retards the dry
ing. out process.
4. Do not use cotton or paper
for decorating the tree unless the
declarations are flameproof.

Agreement on Arms
Talk: Vishwkv
PARIS, Dec. 12 </TI —Russia's
Andrei Y. Vishinsky said today that
agreements reached during secret
Big Four talks held out hopes of
.'till further agreement between
j cast and west. But the western
i powers, in a joint statement, said
they were “rather disappointed’'
in the tone of his speech.
I Vi hinskv told the United Na
j liens political committee (hat
I since the Big Four had agreed to
net i’]> a new dL armament eon
I mlr \ n “it enhances our hopes”
J tliat the rival camps could agree
on other issues aiso.
This was generally interpreted
to mer.n that Russia would take part
t in the commission's work even if it
! is set up under western-sponsored
directives which the Soviet Union
opposes.
French delegate Jules Moch said
however, that Vishinsky showed no
tendency to budge from positions
which the w: ,t has declared make
impossible agreement on atomic
centre! and disarmament.
There positions, as restated by
Vishinsky again today, call for
an immediate and unconditional
prohibition of flic atomic weapon,
ard reduction of armed forces by
one third during one year.
The three western powers are
holding out for a step-bv-step re
duction of armed forces, under
stringent international supervision,
w hich would include prohibition "of
atomic weapons after a foolproof
system of safeguards had been set
up.
5. Do not place electric trains
around the tree.
6. Never use candles. Use electric
lighting sets only. Inspect every
socket and wire to make sure the
set is in good condition. Discard
sets with frayed wiring. When buy
ing new sets look for the Under
writers Inc., label or maker.
7. Use flameproof or fireproof
decorations of glass or metal to
decorate your tree.
8. Remove gift wrappings prompt
ly after gifts have been opened.
9. Provide a switch some distance
from the tree for turning tree
lights off and on.
10. Don’t leave lights on when
no one is in the house. From time
to time, inspect the tree and see
whether any of the needles near the
lights have started t oturn brown.
If so, change the position of the
lights.
11. When needles start falling,
take the tree down and discard it
outdoors.

By ED WILKS
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12—Mt-Edward
Raymond Stanky steps gingerly
Into his new role as manager of
the St. Louis Cardinals today con
fronted by a novel problem. Can
he win a starting position on his
own team?
It's definite, says the former New
York Giants second baseman, that

However, the "ifs, buts and mr^brs"
begin to pile up when he's n'-rted
where he will Insert himself in the
Redbird lineup.
With only a few short hours cf
experience as a manager (he signed
a two-year contract with owner
Fred Saigh around supper time yes
terday) Stanky says he isn't ready
to make th»at, decision yet. Or any
others for that matter.
The deal that brought Stanky tc
the Cardinals to replace the ousted
Marty Marion has been kicked
around for a few months now. Yet
it took almost three hours of actual
conference between Eddie and
Saieh to agree to terms.
Saigh held out for a one-year
term, two years at . the maximum.
Eddie originally wanted a three

As for the price tab Snigh placed

say they know about such things
place it at about $32,500 a year.
