JUNEAU ROY IS
ROOKIE ON BIO
TEAM, PIC IN P.l.
An interview with Thomas G.
“Tommy" Kelly, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Kelly and grandson
of Mrs. Jack Hayes of Juneau, along
with a photograph of the Juneau
boy, entitled “Rookie of the Year
appears in a recent Seattle Scene
column by Frank Lynch, in the
Seattle Post Intelligencer.
Lynch's column concerned 20
young men, aged 19, 20 and 21,
who had enlisted in the Armed
Forces last month at the Seattle
recruiting station and he had
chosen Kelly of the group for an in
terview on how he had come to join
up and what he thought of the sit
uation generally. Lynch called the
Armed Forces The Big Team, "Dear
Old Kahki,” taking a leaf, he said,
from the boys in sports today.
He found Kelly and his fellow re
cruits not concerned as to why
some joined Old Kahki. and some
didn’t, why some were picked, and
some, for the moment at least,
passed over. They had come on their
own to apply for training camp, not
agog at the chance to join Old
Kahki, but quietly going about the
business. There had been sad talk
to the effect that they were born
In a generation earmarked for war.1
“It’s the way it is, Kelly said.
“What can you do about it?”
When Lynch asked Kelly was he
maybe a little anxious to get on
the club, that grand Team that has
never lost a game, Kelly replied,
blushing, "I’m not that much of a
hand with the corn.”
The new recruits set out for train
ing camp the very night of the day
they had signed up with “ Old
Kahki” and climbed aboard a Fort
Lewis bus.
No popping flashbulbs, no rela
tives, friends or wild-eyed fans to
see them away, wrote Lynch.
‘If Kelly, and the others, were
disappointed they didn't show it.
And, of course, there are a great
many of us who think of all who go!
as candidates for All American'
honor. A very great many of us
think of them as Rookies of the
Year.”
Kelly left Juneau shortly before
Christmas and had been studying
and living with relatives in Seattle.
He operated the Parcel Delivery
with his parents and worked last
Bummer in the Haines district. Be
fore he left this past fall he was i
on thd Columbia Company basket- '
ball team and last year played with
the Moose quintet.

ROUNDUPOF i
BASKETBALL
(By Associated Press)
Now comes the time when the
thoughts of many basketball coaches
wander to the coming of spring, and
not necessarily for the usual reason.
Spring generally means greenup
time but to the coach it’s tourna
ment time.
The pressure increases and per- >
formances from now to the middle
of March will determine which
teams are invited to the NCAA and '
National Invitation tournaments,
and the NAIB for smaller colleges. I
Semester examinations are over at ^
most schools and the turning point
of the season came in with the.
month of February.
Several major fives hav.e import- ^
ant tests coming up this weekend, j
Tonight’s games include:
Bradley (18-3) at San Francisco.'
Rated the best team in the country
last month and now just another |
also-ran, Bradley could boost its >
omeback chances by whipping San
Francisco tonight and Stanford to- j
morrow night.
Kentucky (16-1), the country's
No. 1 five, at Mississippi State.
; Southern California (13-2), Pa
icific Coast Southern leader, vs. San
ta Clara.
Idaho at Oregon (12-7), Pacific
| Coast Northern co-leader with
Washington State.

Douglas High Huskies surged up
in the first game last night to give
the Imperial Imps a run for their
money but lost the game to the
Imps by the score of 46 to 39. The
