EXPOSE OF FASCISM TO BE MADE;
GENERAL FLEESS FROM MUSSOLIN[
TNTER-SCHOOL MEET WILL
Start MONDAY; ENTRANTS
ARRIVE TODAY ON ROGERS

With the exception of three hour
sessions during the forenoons, schol-
astic endeavors will be suspended in
the Juneau public schools on the
first three days next week, it was
announced today by Supt. w. X.
Keller. This will be done to facili
tate the holding of the events com
prising the first section of the South
eastern Alaska lnter-School Meet.
All High School activities will be
suspended for the three days that
the meet will be in progress as so
are entered as to make it impractic-
able to conduct the regular classes
1t was felt that a large proportion
of the students desired to attend the
basketball games and debates and by
suspending afternoon sessions it is
possible for them to do SO.
Boys Tourney Feature
Among the Juneau students the
principal interest lies in the boys
basketball tournament. While they
hope for victory, the spectre of a
red and white clad team led by a
flashy little forward whose work has
been a feature in southeastern Alas
ka high school Journeys for the past
five years. Wee Willie Allen, con
ceded to be the outstanding cage
star in the association, was playing
Oh han u,h nt
the other players in this years tour
nament were breaking in on ele-
mentary teams. And he was fast
Inen-faster now.
Allen may not play. Ii Is claimed
he is ineligible, the claim being
based on an allegation that he Is
over age. Under the association
rules If he is 81 years or over, he
may not enter a championship gam.
Although he has been certified to as
being 20 years old by his school, il
is believed that this may have been
done in error, based on faulty infor-
nation.
Put Up To Board
Two years ago, after tournament
here, it was openly stated that Al
len had only one more year of high
school basketball left. Again last
year, after the meet at ketchikan,
it is reliably reported that Coach
Stoneburner of Ketchikan told sew
eral, including member of the
Board of Control that Allen had
played his last high school game s
he would be over age this year.
Records are said to indicate he s
more than 81, while information has
been received from other sources
that he is % years of age. These
things will be sifted out by the
Board of Control, which has final
say in the matter
ketchikan Is Strong
With Allen in the game. Ketchi-
kan looks to be a strong favorite for
the championship. No team play
ing against Ketchikan this year has
Deen able to stop him. II he is
found ineligible. the outcome Of the
tourney is impossible to predict the
four teams would be practically
evenly matched and the breaks
would count materially in the end

We would have liked to sec Hatner come to New Britain. Not that We think that he would be used to break up the team now in existence. but he could be very we'll used in line with the policy of allowing some Of the men to take a rest,
New Britain herald., 1926-02-02

He could very handily be worked in because Johnny Sheehan can play forward as well as guard and this would give the forwards an oppor- tunity to take things easy once in while.

 The team management has been forced to lay of further games in this city for time because of the lack of support accorded the five by the fans of the city. but the fact that Manager Joe Carroll of the Bristol Endees though that the To- cal quintet was worthy to play his wonder five is evidence enough that state teams are recognizing the To- calls as contenders for the basket ball flag this year,

Tho National Guards basketball team takes on All-MiddletoWn at the State armory Saturday night and this will be an opportunity for the locals to make up for the mess they got into in Middletown last Friday. There, the National Guards dropped a game which should have been won and then came back to this city 10 beat & team that has made the best in this state look foolish.

The game Saturday will really tell whether the Legion team Is worthy of taking on the better teams in the state on foreign floors. Al home the team is practically unbeat- able. It might be different In a strange city. Should the team win or come near winning, then its fame is solidifcd because the Bristol team is about as good as there is in the rtate.

There is one'thing that Is certain and it has been said many times in these columns and the fans Of the city are saying 1t again and again and that is that the National Guards cannot continue to play games on Friday and Saturday nights.

sideration, New Britain fans have good reason to be proud of the team play of the National Guards this season. It has met all the good teams in the state and several from out of the state and has come through in fine style In most all of it's home games. In fact the Atlas was the only team to beat the Guards on the Armory floor and this was when the New Britain team had an off night.
