Minneapolis ‘Star Features Nome
High Nanooks Basketball Team
The following story about our
own High School Nanooks basket
ball team is reprinted from the
Minneapolis Star:
One of the more remarkable
high school basketball teams is
the Nome Nanooks of far’-off Al
aska. It perhaps is the only team
that does not play another high
school before it competes in its
“state” tournament. The boys
play intra-squad games before
they embark for the Alaska tour»»
nament at Anchorage or Fair
banks. Yet, they have been good
enough to win the Class B tourna
ment, for enrollments of 100 or
less, for two years in a row.
Going to a .tournament is quite
an event in itself. Air transporta
tion to the tournament site at
either Anchorage or Fairbanks,
500 miles away, is $1,296. Board
and room costs another thousand.
For some of the boys it’s the
first time they ever have seen
another town.
If you aren’t up on your geo
graphy, Nome is 500 miles west of
British Columbia Will Not
Trade “a Foot” of Land

VICTORIA, B.C., UP — British j
Columbia will never give “a foot”
of land away in exchange for cor-1
ridors through the Alaska Pan-!
handle to the Pacific, Premier
Bennett said.
The corridor proposal, at the
talking stage for a number of
years, was raised again last week
by a Yukon member of parlia
ment.
Premier Bennett stated emphat
ically no consideration has been
given to exchanging B.C. property
for the corridors, which would
give northern Canadian mining
fi»ms access to tidewater.
Small Boy with Air Pistol Gives
London Policemen Guarding
Russian Bigwigs A Scare
LONDON, liP—A small boy with
an air pistol had London police
men on the jump Thursday.
The youngster was in a crowd
outside Buckingham Palace where
Soviet Premier Bulganin and Nik
ita Khrushchev were visiting.
Suddenly an air pistol fell to
the street with a clatter. Police
swooped down and carried the
young owner off.
“No further action will be
taken,” they reported later.

Honolulu. The team’s nickname is
Nanooks, which is Polar Bear in
Eskimo. All of the boys except
two are of Eskimo extraction. A
Minnesota man and Hamline
graduate really started things
humming in Nome. He is Eugene
C. Beimer, the first well-trained
coach who took over in 1948. The
current coach is William Ullrich.
And if you have been chilly re
cently, get a load of this as con
veyed to Chet Berg of Minne
apolis by his good friend, W.L.
Angell, superintendent of Nome
public schools and former Litch
field, Minn., man who has kept
things going:
“Twenty - two below this mor
ning (April 5). We are the only
public high school in the Second
Division, an area twice the size
of the state of Minnesota. The
population is about 12,000 for this
area of 150,000 square miles.”
(The Bergs visited Mrs. Berg’s
sister in Nome last summer. It’s
a mere 4,500 miles from Minne
apolis).
“If you get this picture I sent
you into the Star, buy a dozen,
cut out the sports page and send
to me so I can give one to each
of the kids.’’ That is one request
that will be granted as a special
dispensation to a gang of kids
that likes its sports that much.
Japanese Survey Ships
Sail For Salmon Grounds
Closed By Russian Edict
KUSHIRO, Hokkaida, Japan, UP
—Four Japanese survey ships set
said Thursday for disputed north
Pacific waters where Russia has
clamped a ban on salmon fishing.
The vessels are the first of a
fleet of more than 500 Japanese
salmon boats standing by in Hok
kaido ports for the signal to sail.
The salmon season extends from
mid-May until September.
The Soviet government recent
ly ordered waters north of Japan
approaching the Siberian coast
closed to salmon fishing.
The Moscow announcement said
the restrictions were temporary
“until the conclusion of a suit
able agreement with the inter
ested countries," needed to end
“rapacious” salmon catching on
fishing migration routes in the
open sea.
Japanese trade union leaders
have predicted disaster in their
fishing industry unless the ban
is lifted. They charged the Rus
sian edict violated the present
Russian-Japanese fishing treaty.
A Japanese mission will leave
for Moscow Saturday to try to
iron out differences over the sal
mon fishing issue.
Olaf Halverson Will
Copyright Theory On
The Aurora Borealis
For about 30 years now, Olaf
Halverson has been working on a
theory concerning the northern
lights. His first ideas on the
cause of the phenomena origin
ated in northern Minnesota -while
teaching school there. On long
evening hikes he would entertain
himself by trying to explain the
i cause of the display. His main
! theories have changed very little
since those days.
While teaching on the Canadian
border a tew years later he
added considerable knowledge,
even from the behavior of stu
| dents on certain days when the
, atmosphere was favorable for
northern lights.
In 1937, at Bethel, Alaska, he
heard about the sun-spot theory
but it merely confirmed his own
ideas.
While teaching in Nome Mr.
Halverson has been working on
a theory of coloration.
He plans to have his theories
protected by copyright before re
leasing any information.
