IHCHORIGE CHEERS
TOOK DOUBLE-HERDER
IT Fit PlITOFF
Anchorage Army finally topped
the “Ponies” in one game of the lo
cal series by putting it in their
otherwise empty bag, 24-17. Anch
orage City girls made it three
straight from the Seward school
girls Saturday night when they
won another hard-fought game
19-18.
Thus ended the second Inter
City basketball series of the sea
son. Anchorage City girls defeat
ed Seward Hi girls three times.
Seward High School “Ponies” split
with Anchorage Army, each taking
a game, while Seward Alumni won
their game from the soldiers. And
Sunday the whole shebang wrent
home on the North Pole Express.
“Dynamite” Barton w:as by far
the outstanding star for the Army,
with “Kid” Peyton playing the
smoothest game of his career.

“Specs” Godfrey, “Okeh” Aurien
and ‘Flash’ Moran took the bit in
their teeth and ran like the wind
as a fighting unit to snap in bas
kets from all over the lot.
Army scores were: Barton 10,
Peyton 6, McGilvray 4, Godfrey
and Auren 2 each.
The “Ponies” appeared to be all
tangled up by someone drawing a
“red herring’ across their trail.
With the exception of flashes of
neat pass work, their performance
was more or less punk. Whether
it was overconfidence, laziness or
what have you, is unknown. If
they don’t pick up that something
which was lacking Saturday, Anch
orage Hi will reverse the tables
with ease the 29th of this month.
Both the Seward girls and boys
had Saturday’s games in the bag,
only to lose them.
Seward scores: “Shifty” Hughes
8. “Dazzy” Lang 6, Sandbeck, “the
old Siberian” 2, “Slim” Larson 1.
Capt. Wilma Shellhorn took the
honors for the Seward girls by her
indomitable fighting spirit, and
close-guarding of Addie Hausman,
the star Anchorage forward, effec
tively holding Addie’s scoring down
to 12, most of these by fast pass
work from her team-mates.
Doris Sullivan emerged as a star
of the first water, while Alberta
Laughlin again battled her tall
opponent, Baldwin, to a standstill.
Maude Larsson’s field shots were
long and true, but under the cage,
as was the case with Clara Skin
ner. she fell down badly. Clara
should forget all she ever learned
about pivoting. Annie Horton’s
strong play broke up many plays.
With diligent practice thruout the
week they should go over to An
chorage and blast them to pieces.
Anchorage scores: Hausman
12. Baldwin 7.
Seward scores: Larsson 9. Sulli
van 5. Skinner 4.

EXPEDITION TO STUDY
HABITS OF ALASKAN
HALIBUT, ON WAY
Investigating the early life his
tory of North Pacific halibut is the
object of an expedition of scientists
who are on their way from Seat
| tie to the Gulf of Alaska aboard
j the schooner Eagle.
The halibut larvae are found at
a depth of from 150 to 175 fathoms,
and one of the objects of the ex
,pedition will be to determine what
kind of sea water is at that level
and whether the halibut eggs con
tinue to float at that depth or
come to the top of the sea
The currents move faster at the
top than at the bottom of the
ocean and if the larvae come to
the surface of the water, they
would drift a long distance.
The investigation will cover the
early life history of halibut from
the time the eggs are laid until the
young fish settle on the bottom
and are carried away by the cur
rent
HALIBUT WILL BE TAGGED
The party of scientists is com
posed of J. L. Kask of Vancouver,
B. C., and Lawrence Townsend,
Olaf Eriksen and F. J. Gunderson
of Seattle.
Halibut wall be tagged and re
leased in various parts of the Gulf
of Alaska to determine the migra
tion of the fish. A reward of $1.00
will be paid by the International
Fisheries Commission for each hal
ibut and return of the tag with
information as to where the fish
was caught and the date.
Ocean currents, the salinity of
the sea water and its temperature
at various depths, will be investi
gated. Net hauls of larvae will de
termine the extent and location of
spawning grounds.
Hundreds of little red bottles,
each containing a card requesting
the finder to mail it to the Inter
national Fisheries Commission in
Seattle after supplying information
telling where the bottle was found
and the date, w’ill be cast over
board by the scientists. A reward
of 25 cents will be paid for return
of each of the cards.
DRIFT WITH OCEAN CURRENTS
The bottles are of special design
and will drift with the ocean cur
rents, dragging a small metal an
chor at the end of a six-foot wire.
The anchors will cause the bottles
to drift with the currents beneath
the surface of the water and not
be carried with the wind. The
data on the cards will enable the
commission to determine the drift
of young halibut and halibut eggs.
Approximately 1.000 bottles will be
cast overboard from the Eagle du
ring the cruise. •
The vessel has been chartered
by the International Fisheries
Commission from Capt- Jacob H.
Engdal, wrho will be her master du
ring the voyage of exploration and
investigation. Captain Engdal's
| crew consists of Albert Johnsen,
| Nels Rockness, B. Petersen, B.
: Knutsen and Olaf Ider. The ex
; pedition will spend three months
; in Alaskan waters.
