ty.races, an Eskimo kyak race, native
blanket tossing contest and a tug of
war between a local team and one com
posed of men from the Coast Guard
Cutter Bear. In the latter event the
town team, which was somewhat heav
ier than the sailor lads, walked away

struggle in which the Jackies proved
themselves 'worthy opponents for the
beefier town boys.

excellently conceived and executed. As
