WOMAN
ATHLETE
OF YEAR
PONTE VERDA BEACH, Ha.,
Jan. 8—/PI—"It's a great thing to
be named woman athlete of the
year!" Babe Zaharias means it sin
cerely.
The Babe has been a big name
in women’s athletics since as a 16
year-old kid from Dallas she won
two events in the 1932 Olympics, j
The award in the Associated Press
poll as women athlete of the year is 1
hers for the fifth time for 1950. She
also got it for 1932, 1945, 1946 and
1947. A year ago she was selected
woman athlete of the first half of
the 20th century.
Yet every time is a thrill to this
friendly, completely unaffected
woman. She goes right on trying
to win them.
"If I can impress sports writers
and the sports public 15 or 20
years more I’ll enjoy it,” she said.
"In fact I’m working on the sec
ond half of the 20th century.”
She’s off to a good start in 1951.
Yesterday she won the Ponte Verda
Club Women’s tlolf Open with a
54-hole score of 228. In the last
round Mrs. Zaharias met and turned
back a stiff challenge from 17
year-old Marlene Bauer of Mid
land, Tex.
Miss Bauer, who was top woman
athlete of 1949, and her older sister
Alice tied for third place of the
1950 poll. Gussie Moran, tennis
player with the lace panties, fin
ished second.

One Armed Cager Here Tuesday
One-armed Boyd Buie, amazing
figure of sport, will thrill the fan^
at Juneau High School gym when
he performs with the great Harlem
Globetrotters basketball team
against the All-Stars of Juneau to
morrow night starting at 8 o’clock.
Playing his fourth season in the
Globetrotter organization, Buie is
greater than ever. Six feet, two
inches tall and 24 years of age, the
crack forward with only a right arm
—his other was amputated after an
auto accident in his youth—appears
to have hit the peak of a meteoric
career this season.
Buie’s eye for the basket, passing
and general all-around floor play
are delightful to watch. The fans
are for him a thousand percent,
especially since they see him get by
on sheer athletic brilliance and ask
ing no quarter. He handles himself
on the court better with one arm
than many cagers do with two. ,
Boyd starred at J. C. Carbon Hi?h
School in his home town of Pine
Bluff, Arkansas. He averaged 18
points a game for four seasons. In
his senior year he captained the
preps to 18 consecutive victories and
was selected as all-state.
Later he was every bit as brilliant
playing three years at Tennes; es
State College. With the collegians
he averaged 16 points a game and
led the quintet to the Midw'est
Conference tournament champion
ship in his senior year. Buie came
to the Globetrotters direct from Ihe
campus. His quiet demeanor and
: pleasing personality have made him
j a gieat favorite with players and
I fans alike.

-C^ ^ DON’T
DON'T OBEY THAT IMPULSE io drive, helier skelier, ai the first fire
alarm, packing the streets, raising a taffic hazard, to satisfy curiosity
and watch a spectacular show, at the fireside. DON'T GO TO THE
FIRE, for Safety Sake, UNLESS YOU ARE A FIREMAN!
Ii's common sense to STAY AWAY
FROM FIRES. Juneau has a good
record for putting out fires. That
record can be made better if YOU,
and YOU, and YOU will give your
Volunteer Firemen a better break.
Wait until the Fourth of July for
your fireworks.
TRAFFIC CODE OF JUNEAU

ForYour Own Safety
IT’S COMMON SENSE to stay away
from fires. Many times last year
work of the fire fighters has been
hampered. Injury hazards are always
increased. A crowd of spectators,
prescent for the sake of “the thrill”
does not help and USUALLY DOES
HINDER efficient operation of the
Fire Department. Therefore we ap
peal to your better judgment, and
ask you to cooperate.
For Yor Own Safety
Stay Away from Fires!
