VALUE OF INTER-CITY ATHLETICS
The make-up of youth being for the most part ener
gy, any medium through which it may find expression
and at the same time bestow a benefit merits encourage
ment. This fact has been recognized by the greatest so
ciologists, who find in athletics the greatest medium for
permitting youth to give vent to welling energies because
athletics inculcate the idea of skill, contest and fair-play.
Possibly no departure affecting the youth of this portion
of Alaska is doing more than the inter-city contests such
as are now on between the Anchorage and Seward High
schools. They promote and cement the golden friend
ships of youth, which endure thruout life and are the bane
of misanthropy, which is often the product of lack of
knowledge of the cardinal virtues of one’s fellowman.
These athletic contests should be included in the budget
of civic considerations along with the most important
affairs, for they are as much a part of community concern
as any other element. Mature society owes altruistic ob
ligations to youth that it may emerge clothed in all that is
emblematic of sterling manhood and womanhood and keep
active the adhesive substances which bind the nation into
brotherhood. In patronizing the basket ball games an
opportunity is given for viewing the results of clean ath
letics as well as receiving entertainment and contributing
to the general cause. The S. A. C. hall should be packed
tonight, when all may be transported back to the golden
days when we, too were standing at the threshold of life.
ANTICIPATING MUZZLING OF THE PRESS
After reading and digesting the report of the At
torney General and especially his recommendations with
respect to contracts between master and servant, limita
tion of misdemeanor to $35, restricting the provileges of
the press with respect to politics, we are convinced that it
merits comparison with Sir Henry Vane’s tract (1656)
expounding the principles of civil and religious liberty;
Nathaniel Ward’s first code of laws established in New
England (1578-1652); John Winthrop’s “Arbirtray Gov
ernment Described”—(1644), and “The Instrument of Gov
ernment,” adopted by Cromwell and his Council of Officers
in 1653. For succinctness, clarity of vision, erudition and
display of profundity of interpretation of legal and socio
logical matters, and the philosophies of institution of gov
ernment on earth, it could not be o’ermatched even by
Blackstone himself.
(This is printed before the Attorney General’s recom
mendation with respect to printing misleading statements
in the press is enacted into law. Otherwise even the print
er’s devil would be doing time for the remainder of his
life.)
A complaint laid by a citizen to the effect that a bunch

ClAL LOSS DUE TO EXTRA
SMALL ATTENDANCE
Seward High school girls won the
series with Anchorage last night 'by
taking the second game 9-7. While
the battle was not as remarkable
as that of the night before, it was
much more stubbornly contested.
Checking was so close that few
shots at the basket were possible,
and as a result Anchorage scored
only two field goals and Seward
four. In the defensive department
I the individual honors undoubtedly
belong to Wilma Harrison. Her un
canny guarding allowed few close
shots by the Anchorage forwards
and her ability to intercept passes
is remarkable. Katherine Neville also
played a fine defensive game and
Cecil Leslie did not allow Ruth Carl
son, the opposing center, to score.
For the visitors the honors belong
to Nichols for her excellent defen
sive work and Nelson, clever for
ward. Lily Hedberg, probably the
best all-around player on the visiting
team, was held to a single field
goal although she led Seward guards
a merry chase at all times.
Elsa Larsson and Cecil Leslie
divided scoring honors with four
points each. Bert McIntosh was
forced to leave ,the game in the
third period, but Viola Sheldon sub
stitute guard, played a fine game 1
during the final quarter.
The lead was held by Anchorage
during the greater part of the fray.
At the end of the first quarter Sew*
ard led 3-1, at half time Anchorage
had a 5-3 lead which they later in
creased to 6-3 and held until the
middle of the final period.
Play on both sides was clean and
not as rough as that of the previous
game. Five personal fouls were
called on each team, Anchorage con
verting three and Seward -two. “Nip”
Johnson refereed to the satisfaction
of both teams.
The crowd was again small, only
$25 being taken in at the gate. This
is disappointing to the High school
student body, who are facing a
financial loss on the series. Another
good preliminary has been arranged
for toinght, the High School Midgets
meeting the Jesse Lee School. Both
the Anchorage and Seward girls are
out to win -tonight and it is hoped
that a large crowd will :be on hand
to witness the final game.
Last night’s line-ups:
Anchorage—Hedberg (4) F. Nelson
(2) F. Carlson C. Staser (1) G. Nich

Seward—McIntosh (1) F. Larsson
(4) F. Leslie (4) C. Harrison G. Nev- >

“FIRE-FLIES WIN AGAIN
In a fast and exciting preliminary
game the Fire-flies added another
victory to their unbroken string by
walloping the “Wild Cats” 20-17. The
“Fire-flies” thereby maintaining
their record of being undefeated this
season. Individual stars were too
numerous to mention.
