Rocky Marciano May
Retire From The Ring
* NEW YORK, UP)—Rocky Mar
ciano’s big decision—to retire or
not to retire—is due within 10
days and may be made today
when the heavyweight champion
meets with his manager, A1 Wiell,
at Macon, Ga.
Since Weill and promoter Jim
Norris, president of the Interna
tional Boxing Club, have patched
up their “feud,” only the word of
Marciano is necessary to start the
drums beating for a big Septem
ber match.
Norris revealed plans for a
series of elimination bouts to pro
vide a September challanger—or
a new champ if Rocky quits.
The blueprints for a tourna
ment already are in the hands of
Norris. A Johnny Holman - Bob
Baker match is set for Miami on
May 9. A Floyd Patterson-Hurri
can Jackson bout is in the making.
Archie Moore, the lightheavy
champ who defends against Yo
iande Pompey in London in June,
also figures in the picture.

Wolverines Break Into
Buster Creek Camp
Earl Towner reported yester
day on returning from a flying
trip to Buster Creek on Nome
River, that wolverines had broken
into the Straub camp there. '
Towner was flown to the camp
by Don Bruckner and he says
the depradations looked very
fresh and that when he entered
the Straub camp, he had his
gun at the ready and Bruckner
was covering him in case the
wolverine Was still inside.
The marauder chewed his way
through a plywood wall of the
building and caused considerable
damage inside.
Towner said other buildings of
their mining camp had not been
molested because they were com
pletely covered with snow. He
reported also that the dredge
was in very good shape this
spring as the creek had very little
overflow.

Good Acting In
Nome School Play
Enjoyed By All
“No More Homework,” present
ed last night by the Nome High
School, is a lively comedy that re
quires expert direction, which
Mrs. W. Cameron has given it. It
also requires much good acting in
all the parts, and the cast supplied
that.
Members of a school’s Student
Council are assigned by a School
Board member (Bob Dunbar) to
take over when the principal
(Chuck Snyder) and his secretary
(Carol Tanner) are unavoidably
absent. Pamela Jones (Helen Gla
vinovich), Council president, be
comes principal; her boyfriend,
“Buzz” Bailey (Paul Glavinovich,
assistant principal; and Shalimar
Ames (Lucie Fagerstrom) the sec
retary.
The math, science, English and
history teachers (Ruth Glavino
vich, Pearl Rotman, Gay Weyer,
Ron Engstrom, respectively) don’t
think much of this turn of events
but make the best of it. The hap
py-go-lucky coacl\ (Chuck Fager
strom) takes it in stride, however.
The plot thickens with the as
sistance of a sleepy freshman (Bob
Russell) who dozes at the right
time and place; a cute rumor
spreader (Dianne Boucher); an as
piring actress (Lorene Larsen*,
and the basketball star (Tom
Drake).
“Tick” Tok the janitor (Fritz
Chambers* and Mrs. Ratchet the
cleaning woman (Barbara Trigg)
were show-stoppers with their hi
larious feuding.
Arlene Muller, business man
ager for the play, saw receipts
for a capacity audience of adults.
The school children saw the play
Wednesday afternoon.

27 Whooping Cranes, Last
Survivors On Earth, Start
Summer Flight North
WASHINGTON, (£>—'The north
ward flight of the 27 whypping
cranes making up the only known
surviving flock has started, the
Fish and Wildlife Service said
today.
The service appealed to humans
not to molest the big white birds
on their 2,500 - mile flight from
the Aransas National Wildlife
Refuge in Texas to their summer
grounds near Great Slake Lake in
Canada. A regular resting place
for them is along the Platte River
in Nebraska.
The service said there are only
eight young whoopers in the
world today so far as is known.
Last fall 28 whoopers made the
trip to Aransas but during the
winter one of the adults disap
peared. There were only 21 of
the cranes in the northward flight
last spring.
The birds are large enough to
be seen easily and recognized —
five feet tall with a seven-loot
| wing spread, white except for a
| red crown and black wing tips.
