The fir'I, of the remaining three,

oremaev between the two rival ag
gregations. was not as fact m if
should have been, owing, perhaps,
~o a policy of cautiousness followed
nut by Coaches Bach and Wright
ir. the opening encounter.
Tho holding a one point lead at
•he end of the first nuarter the
Tnleters trailed by the same margin
at the half and had little chance to
'■again the lead from then on. Will
Strandterg, Anchorage forward,
with three field goals and three
fouls shared high scoring honors
with Jack Rosness of the locals who
made nine tallies in the same man
ner. Guy Manthey contributed
seven markers. A little more accur
acy by the Anchorage shooters and
the results might have been differ
ent, In the ed’rly quarters the
'Orange and Black” worked the
ball to scoring distance repeatedly,
but overshot the ring too many
‘imes. The Inlet men counted on
four of their eight free throws,
while Seward, usually capable of
Turning 50 percent Of their foul
chances to their credit, converted
out six out of 17. Twenty-four
oersona! fouls marked the tussel,

POPULAR STORY II ' !
THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
On the boards for tonight’s
program is one of those ever pop
ular stories of Canada’s famous
police force “The Royal Mounted
Police.” The red coated semi-mili
tary organization known thrnought
the world as the officers who al
ways “Get their men.” Covering
vaster territory than any other
police, they have the lowest record
of unpunished crime. Because of
the great distances, magnificent
country, and picturesque settlers,
the stories of crimes, their detec
tion and punishment is unusually
interesting, and the moving picture
of these stories is always good
entertainment.
Another attraction on tonight is
a two-reel comedy starring Mabel
Normand.
For tomorrow there is an eight
reel story of city life starring Nor
ma Shearer and George Sidney.

George E- Buchanan, sponsor and
backer of and rooter for the move
ment of boys to Alaska, Is planning
to take 50 or more to the great United
States’ possession the coming sum
mer. Buchanan, who Is president of
the Detroit Coal Exchange and five
coal companies and a bachelor, be
lieves that a trip to Alaska, provided
• boy partly earns his way. will be a
wonderful formative Incident in his
life. He has already taken 300 boys to
Alaska, and this will be his seventh
annual personally conducted tour.
The boys, ages 9 to 17, must earn one
third of the cost of the trip ($125.00);
the parents advance a third and
Buchanan loans the boy one third,
which is to be repaid later at the boy’s
lai^uca*
Buchanan, who gete letters from all
over the United States and Canada
addressed "Alaska, Buchanan, De
troit," and "Buchanan. Boy’s Friend,
Detroit," tells the boy who writes to
him direct from anywhere how he
can earn his third by selling pencils,
kitchen tongs, coal, steel ash bas
kets, etc. Boys who qualify go west
ward through Canada and the Cana
dian Rockies, seeing Banff and Lake
Louise, then north to Alaska on the
"Princess Louise.” They see the
wonders of Alaska and return by the
“Princess” to Vancouver and home
ward through the United States, thus
viewing the finest scenery in Canada,
Alaska and the States. Buchanan
goes with them on every trip and
gives them Bis personal care.

When asked what he did If the;
got sick, he declared that they did not
get sick, or If they had a bit of In
disposition, the wonderful climate
pepped them up and put them back
on their feet Immediately. "One boy
gained 19 lbs. during the month's
tour,” said Buchanan, "and every boy
has gone home a better boy physic
ally, mentally and as a youug busi
ness man. He has seen Alaska’s won
ders and has earned part of the
mone# to finance the trip, which cov
ers about 8,000 miles and lasts a
whole month. One of my youngest
boys, who Is S years old, has already
earned about 820, and If he gets his
third together on his own effort*, he
will be in our party next summer,
even if he Is only six years old. Any
boy, anywhere can go, provided he
gets his parents’ consent and cam*
h» third.*’
