The Alaska fisherman., 1924-12-15

It is a solid, sound institution, ownel entirely by local capital and conduct ed by men who have played large part in the upbuilding of the town and district.
 There are several large office buildings in Ketchikan which pro vide the professional or business men with quarters quite as convent ent as those in the largest cities, with steam heat, hot and cold water, ianitor service, electric lights and elevators.
 Ketchikan is supplied with light and power by hydro-electric plant, which also furnishes current for cooking in many homes. The tele- phone system is equal to that found in any city. Water for all purposes is furnished from a series of beauti- ful lakes in the hills back of the city and is of such quality that the liquid coming from the tap is suit able for any purpose for which dis titled water is demanded. This wa ter system furnishes sufficient pres sure to afford ample fire protection. In fact that protection is so good that ketchikan has never known a serious fire.
 Climatically, Ketchikan has sum- mers that compare favorably with these of the coast of Maine, cool enough to be comfortable, yet warm enough to make one realize that it is summertime. The winters com pare favorably With those of Puget Sound, as the Japanese current strikes in and warns up the country considerably. The winters in Ket- chlkan are not as severe as those of Washington, D. C., while the sum- mers are a joy.
 For sportsmen, there is a paradise in the district surrounding, where the elusive trout may be found in large numbers during the season, and where in the fall and winter the bird shooting and deer hunting are all that could be desired. And for ath- letics there are all the outdoor forms-baseball, tennis, swimming, rowing and others-to be found any where in the United States, and the same is true of the indoor sports.
 There are two hospitals which pro- vide amply for the case of the sick
 For amusement there are numer- ous dance halls, and two motion pie ture theaters.
 Fraternally, Ketchikan is we'll pro- vided, having lodges of Elks, Ma sons, Moose, Eagles, Arctic Brother hood, Pioneers of Alaska and ladies' auxiliary, Eastern Star, Odd Fellows and Red Men. They are we'll sup piled with lodge and clubrooms. Ket-

TWEEN the Alpha Tau Omega and Non
fraternity teams at Colby college in
the annual intermural basketball lea
que will be played tomorrow, accord
ing to an announcement made this
Afternoon by league officials. This
game has been hanging fire for the
last week with several dates proposed
by the officials and the managers Of
the two interested teams but each
date previously has failed to meet
the approval of all those concerned.
However, tomorrow afternoon has
been agreed upon by all interested
parties and the final contest will be

The game tomorrow will decide the
winners If the league this year as
the two teams are at present tied for

lost game each. For the last week,
the captains of both the Alpha Tau
Omega and Non fraternity teams
have kept. their men hard at work

last night when SOdCli MuioIlCAu
brought his Winslow basketeers over
to the Colby gymnasium and worked
out with first the Non fraternity and
then with the Alph Tau Omega five
for two hours.
Interest in the game is high at the
college and it is expected that the
college gymnasium will be packed to
capacity when the referee blows his
whistle for the opening of the game
shortly before four o'clock. 1t Is I'M
derstood that permission has been
obtained so that the members of the
Womans division might enjoy the
privilege of witnessing the crucial
game in the league and will turn out
in force to cheer the teams on. Tenn
porary bleachers have been erected in
the gymnasium to help accommodate
the many spectators who will watch

were trying to get in touch with the
Oak Grove man. to do the refereeing

To the Sports Editor:
With the baseball bug buzzing
merrily in the neighborfng cities of
Augusta and Skowhegan. to say
nothing of the other teams we read
of daily in the sports columns. 1t
ton should affect a few Of our local
lovers Of the diamond to the extent
of placing movement on foot that
would life Waterville and Fairfield
into the limelight of balloon.
The only thing of importance that
takes place IN this city that inter-
ests and amuses the populace Is the
Central Maine Fair. 1t Is the one
advertising medium left to the very
hub of the State Of Maine. That this
condition should not exist all agree.
but there seems to be no one to start
things going. Where is the man who
will give a little time to opening
negotiations for a real ball team to
give battle to the Augusta. Skowhe--
gan, Lewiston, Lisbon Falls, and
other teams?
With Bragg and Landry of Fair
field as the first battery for the team.
and with men like Shannahan and
Khoury of Coburn, and the stars of
Colby within her grasp. and to be
had for the asking almost, 1t seems
to the writer that a team could be
brought together that would measure
well beside the teams of the other
cities of Maine, and with the local
flavor Of the Fairfield and Water
Vile players, interest will be suffi-
cient to support such team.
The writer is practically stran-
ger to the city, but has always been
a ball fan. and believes there are at
least 400 others like himself who
would welcome Wednesday and Sat-
urday ball, and would buy season
tickets to support the outfit. Will the
Rotarians and Kiwanis club Of Wat
erville start the ball rolling?
Let's stop saying "They won't
support team" simply because some
other teams have failed of support.
and start out in the right way to put
Waterville where she belongs, be-
side the city of Augusta. They have
had a ball team in the Capital City
for a number of years and no one
has been badly hurt in a financial
way, why not have one here?

emy's chances of defeating the strong

took a decided fall this morning when
it was announced that at least two

has been lost to the team, owing to
scholastic difficulties. and Wheeler
one of the best guards in the state is
at present down with the grippe.
Hobbs, the right forward, injured his
ankle a couple Of weeks ago, and he
has not been in uniform since that
time. However, Hobbs says that he
will be in the lineup that faces CO.

Wheeler being able to play. but If he
does. it is doubtful If he will be able
to stay long in the fray, as he will
not be in the tiptop condition.
In spite of the fact that the He
bron Team will be minus two of its
stars the student body is back of
the team right to the end. To show
their spirit toward the team. the
student body is holding mass -eet-

Interest in this game is running
very high, because on the outcome of
it hinges the preparatory school

states that his team minus its two
best men will play the best game Of
the season against Coburn. Captain
