Fans Enjoy Two
Sometimes Hilarious
Basketball Games
In non-league exhibitions last
night at the school gym, two fine
and sometimes hilarious basket
ball games were played for the
fans.
In the first contest an all-girl
show was featured as the Girl
Alumnae five out - fought, out
gunned and out-did the younger
girls from the High School by a
20-16 count.
In the second game the B.T.’s
(with substitutes) licked the High
School Junior Varsity 37-22.
The girl’s game was close all
the way and never a sterner game
was played. Little Jean Mogg
showed the way for the winners
with 8 points and Lilly Tungwe
nuk followed with 6.
Lucille Atuk led for the losing
club with 8 and “Tweet” Hardy
ended up with 6 as she exhibited
the best all-around floor game of
the night for the girls.
In the B.T.-Jayvee tilt the old
sters outdid the youngsters as
Larry Minix hit for 10 and Bob
Emmons hit for 7 followed by Doc
Woodcock with 6 and Virgil War
neker with the same amount.
Paul Oksoktaruk led the losers
with 8 and “Cookie” Johnsen was
close behind with 6.
In all, the crowd was the most
pleased with the games and re
sponded with loud applause and
appreciation at all times.
It likewise was remarked that
the B.T. squad was aided no end
by the fact that they had team
mates in Doc Woodcock and Rev.
McCreary—The doctor to aid his
teammates in first aid and the
reverend to aid in last rites if
the pace became too fast for the
aging B.T. squad.

believe.”

eighth Christmas.

too enjoyable to be called work.”

Difference of Opinion
JUNEAU, OP—Republican lead
ers have disagreed over how hard
they and their colleagues have
worked during the first state leg
islative session.
Senate Minority Leader John
Coghill of Nenana told the Sen
ate yesterday he wanted the pub
lic to know he thought the Legis
lature was working hard and had
covered a lot of ground during its
first three weeks. He said he knew
of no one who was shirking his
duties.
Coghill’s remarks were prompted
by those made by House Minority
Leader Bruce Kendall in an inter
view with the Anchorage Times
Saturday.
The Valdez representative said
he did not think the Legislature
had accomplished “anything of a
very constructive nature.”
Back in Juneau yesterday, Ken
dall said:
“All I can say is the record
speaks for itself. It’s all in the
minutes of the Legislature.”

Edward R. Murrow To
Take Year’s Leave of
Absence From CBS
NEW YORK, 0to — Edward R.
Murrow will take a year’s leave
of absence from the Columbia
Broadcasting System effective
July 1.
He said in a letter to CBS Pres
i ident Frank Stanton that his con
i tract contains a provision for
leave, and said his only reason for
seeking it is to take time for trav
el and reflection. Stanton replied
that the network was happy to
grant the leave and looked forward
to his return.
Murrow’s move followed reports
of strained relations between him
and CBS officials. It was reported
that his leave has nothing to do
with his health nor with the con
troversy that followed a recent
radio program on prostitution.
Murrow, 50, has been with CBS
j since 1935.
