High School Plays First Bas- ketball Game of Year
 Against Sailors.

The opening game of the local bas- kdIbaIll season is scheduled for this evening between the Juneau High School five and the Unalga squad on ghe school gymnasium floor. Play VIII rgJb1Ibly be called about 8 o'clock.
 Coach Hughes men arc virtually all in good shape for the game. Britt, center, has been weathering severe cold for several days, but will start the game It is probable that all pf the High School hoopers will be given a chance to show their wares in the game. Hughes is expected to start Scata glini, Blrragar or Janik- sela. with Ellengen in reserve, for forwards White and Orme will probably go in as guards with Holm luist and Leeth ready to fill in.
 In a practice scrimmage with the Sailors shortly after their arrival lere last Saturday evening, the above men were used about in the or der named, except that Barragar was not able to report. The Unalga's s team, while not composed of finished veterans, is a hard playing outfit and is likely to prove interesting competition before the local season winds up. Most of the men are new to the game but have the will to learn and the fighting spirit. The Sailor five was allowed to use the National Guard Armory floor during the ships Seattle stay, but it's prac- tice has not been extensive. Three men are available for the center posi- ton, Underwood, Olson and Warfield The two first mentioned are said to be good tip-off men, but weak on their floor work, while Warfield's $ jumping is weak Lieutenant Leslie. Hedding and Swanson make up the squads defensive material and Black and Anderson are available for for. wards No lineup has been an nounced by the Sailors for tonight $ game.

NEW PLAN VOICED
 BY SHOOTERS FOR
 NATIONAL CONTEST

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Esta blish- ment of an eligibility run for trap shooters participating in the naLonal championships of the American Trap Shooting Association was announced as one of the first reforms instituted by amateur members, who have prac tically taken over entire control of the organization. This control has been exercised as result of an agreement With intuition manufac' turers, original sponsors of the as. sociation, that it's affairs would be turned over to amateur supervision wherever practical.
 No question, heretofore, has been raised around eligibility, any anna teur trap shooter of good standing in Month America being permitted tC shoot for singles and doubles cham pionshlp5 and in the Grand Americaf handicap. Under new rules, effective for 1923 events, competitors mus establish an official average of 100, targets either during the first seven months of the champion season or during the same period combined with the last five months of the preceding year.
 While some legal technicalities re main before absolute control of the association is vested in amateur members, the latter already have de vlded upon removal of the organiza' tion's headquarters from New York to Chicago and selected a slate of officers as follows:
 President, Frank D. Stoop, Spo kane, Wash; first vice president George s. CcCarthy.- Newfield, N. J.; second vice president, U. R. Brooks Columbia, S. C.; third vice presi dent, Fred R. Etchin.

praises Col James c. Steese and efficient, rugged, red+tapeless men.
 Climate Not Rigorous
 Alaska, he writes, is divided into three empires, Southeastern, Interior and Northern. Arctic, or Northern Alaska, he said, has polar bears, walrusses and ice fields, but these are not found in the other two em- pires. Southeastern Alaska, he continued, "has an Oregon-Washing. ton climate due to the Japanese Cur rent which has the same effect from Ketdhikan to Cape Spencer as it has on Puget Sound" Juneau s climse, he said, is milder than that of CleveIand,, Ohio. Tourists are ad- vised that they can buy "any article in A.a1ka ait about the same price that they can in the most modern department or drug store in the average Central Western city. Hotel accommodations in, Juneau, ketchi- kan, Seward. Anchorage and Fair. banks, he said, are as good and more reasonably priced than in any aver age city of 50,OOO population in the United States.
 Cause for Stagnation
 Mir. Rogers said that the Terri tory's tremendous resources have sometimes been unintentonally exag- gerated and that Alaska is no Alad- din's Lamp. It's resources, he adds, will compare favorably with those of any state in the Union and that no single state can boast of as great a variety of material sources of wealth.
 Non4deveivplueml of these, he said was occa stoned by mistaken conserv- ation practices which would permit of no rational development of the Territory. He declined to comment on the Pinchot-Ballinge row and the Wickersham- -Guggenheim quarrel of 13 years ago." saying Vt would dc no good and added. "But l do want to say that I am firmly convinced that majority Of those persacuted in Alaska in 1909 had intentions that were every bit as honorable toward the Territory as those who were con cerned in the persecution.
 He points to a changed condition at the preserit time which mo longer ties up the timber, ol and coal re sources, and that there is no longel to be found any animosity toward capital for investment.

 On Roads anu Trails
 The prime necessity for Alaska, however, in MT Rogers opinion, is road construction on a wholesale scale "The construction of good roads is by far and wide the most cardinal necessity for the upbuilding of Alaswan prosperity and the de- velopment of its agricultural and min eral resources. Give Alaska every thing that her enthusiasts have proposed, but omit a sweeping pro gram of road construction, and the Alaskan interior will be in about the same stage of retarded develop ment 20 years hence as now. Waive everything else, if necessary, but give Alaska roads, good roads, lots oi roads, and it will come into it's own more suddenly than its own people ever dreamed possible"

DETROIT, Dec. 1S.-Detroit base baM fandom, which Loyalty has sup ported the Detroit Tigers whether they were up" or down" has set its heart on an American League pennant in 1923
 The Tigers, coming from the eel lar position to third place in the 1922 race, are expected by the fans to be stronger in 1923 than they were this year. Frank Nayin. presi- dent of the club, believes that such should be the case.
 Poor pitching has been the down fall of the Tigers for several years, in the opinion of observers. Next season Detroit will start with the bo-g string cf huvlcrs of which the local outfit has boasted in mum Der of years. In speaking of his tolams prospects MT. Navin said:

But not single one ot that group of fourflushers ev,r put up a dollar to back up the escape of hot air.

 Mot so long ago one of the best known promoters in America said that he'd simply have to have Jack for Jacks next fight. He talked $500,000 and wanted me to sign a contract then and there. l said to him:
 "I'l sign Dempsey to fight under your promotion night now if you give me $25,000 advance money
 That's the last I ever heard of him.
 "I'm going to New York right after New Years Day and I'll stick there one full month waiting for real offers. Ill throw out of my office any man who comes in and talks millions without a certified check to back up his conversation. I'll be ready to listen to any sort of offer but before I do any listening I've got to see $50,OOO right before me.

ROGERS BEGINS ALASKA SER|ES;
 PROPOSES PLAN

Elaborating on the plan, MT. Rog- CTS said:
 These five men. due to the inn portancc of their position. would naturally be the highest type that could be selected by the Cabinet Sec retarfes. The Governor, selected by the President, would be man of great ability The present Governor, Scott c. Bone, is just such man. With a stroke of the pen the cry of absentee Fandlordism-a highly justi- hiable xpression-would cease to be heard. Autocratic individual power and so-called bureaucracy would be eliminated And I may add with em- phasfs that autocratic individual DOW er-'or rather. bureaucratic control- is the bugaboo that has kept in- duItn:es out of Alaska, from a psy- cholog.oal standpoint if nothing else. The idea of risking their all on the fairness or judgment of one man or one bureau has not appealed to eith- or large or small American in- vestors and operators"
