Blizzard in England
DOVER, England, —A bliz
zard that lasted 20 hours—the
worst in 15 years—blocked roads
Tuesday through County Kent
with 10-foot drifts.
Road officials threw 100 motor
ized plows against the blizzard,
which started Monday, but the
heavy snow buried some of them
and they had to be dug out.
• Willoya Sets New
Tourney Scoring Mark
With 26-Point Average
ANCHORAGE, Defending
Class A champion Anchorage and
Class B darkhorse Nome are the
winners in their respective divi
sions of the 1955 Western Alaska
Basketball Tournament.
In the lowest scoring champion
ship game since 1949, the Eagles
toppled Palmer High School, 31
27, while the Nanooks walloped a
hard-fighting Valdez five, 46-38.
j The championship games were
1 played here Monday night before
; a turn-away crowd.
: The Eagles won their eighth
crown since the tourney’s origin
, in 1946, while Nome won for the
third time.
Nome, like Anchorage, was
! forced to play a grinding schedule
after suffering an opening day de
feat at the hands of last year’s
titlist Kodiak Naval. The Nanooks
competed in six games in seven
| days.
The Nanooks also carried home
another title. Milton Willoya,
Nome’s sharp-shooting pivotman,
' set a new tourney scoring mark
i with a 26-point average for six
! games. Willoya topped all scorers
i Monday night, in both divisions,
i with a 29-point performance.
Nome took an 8-5 first period
; lead in the opening contest and
was in control the rest of the way.
i The Nanooks were ahead 18-13
at halftime and 34-21 at the three
, quarters mark.
The Nome team has won pre
vious honors in this tournament
as follows:
In 1951, 1953, and this year it
won the Class B championship;
in 1949, 1950 and 1954 it won sec
ond place, including a sportsman
ship award in 1950; and in 1952
it won a sportsmanship award in
Class A.
The Eagles will next meet the
winner of the Southeastern Alas
ka Conference action in a two
out-of-three tournament starting
Thursday in Anchorage for the
All-Alaska High School Cham-1
pionship.
Rumors of Romance
I Attend Homecoming
' Of Princess Margaret
LONDON, OPi—Princess Mar
garet told Britons Tuesday she is
happy to be home from her
Calypso tour of the Caribbean,
eventful though it was.
But in her appearance at the
Mansion House as a luncheon
guest of the City of London, she
made no allusion to the prime
topic of the day—rumors she will
marry RAF group Capt. Peter
Townsend, 40-year-old former
equerry at Buckingham Palace.
Instead she spoxe warmly of
the “friendly and most loyal peo
ples . . . waving fields of sugar
cane and deep blue water beyond
the coral sands.”
Spectators took a fresh and
lively interest in the princess be
cause of the widely published re
ports that, after she becomes 25
next Aug. 21, she may renounce
her third place in succession to;
the throne to become the bride of
Townsend, a divorced man who,
is British air attache at Brussels.

How our 125 “dry holes” last year
helped keep you on wheels
If you’re anything like the average motorist,
you’ll use about 690 gallons of gasoline this
year. And that’s just a beginning. Keeping
you on wheels and supplying you with the
thousand and one “oil-born” products so
vital to modern living requires 2 gallons of
petroleum a day for every man, woman and
child in the U. S.—an increase of 58% since
1941. Helping to keep this oil flowing to you
is Standard Oil Company of California’s
biggest, most expensive, least predictable
job. In fact, we plan to invest $200 million
during 1955 alone in exploring for new oil
fields and developing existing ones, to help
replace the petroleum you’ll use.
Some 700 times this year, Standard drillers
will start bits spinning. As much as 16,000
feet of pipe may follow the bit before oil is
found or the well is abandoned. Either way
it’s a costly hole: drilling an oil well may run
from $125,000 to over $1 million. And every
one is a risk—only 1 out of every 9 wells
drilled in the U. S. in a promising but un
proven area turns out to be an oil producer.
Yet new sources of oil must be found to
keep our nation’s supplies from dwindling.
Risking “dry holes” is the only way to find
them. So the 125 “dry holes” we drilled last
year are good evidence of the job Standard
does to help keep you on wheels.
Standard plans ahead to serve you hotter
