COACH LAUDED BY TEAM FOR HER UNSWERVING EFFORTS
 AND SPoRTSMANSHIP

The members of the Seward high school team and those who witnessed the recent basketball game are unanimous in giving all credit for their recent triumphal series with the speedy Anchorage five, to Miss Helen Bevier, local school teacher, who drill ed them unceasingly for the past two months, assisted by Louis Thinker. Plays were worked out on blackboards and the team demonstrated active ly on the gym floor until the quintet worked in unison gliding about with the smoothe precision of an efficient machine.
 But one of the outstanding features brought. out during the training ses- sion was that of sportsmanship. This, Miss Bevier drilled into the girls con- stantly and the success of her teach ing was magnified a thousand fold in the many compliments paid the members of the team, and herself, for the splendid ardor exhibited by them in the series with Anchorage. Miss Bevier is proud of her team and the team is proud of her one hundred per cent. It was combination hard to beat!

STANDARD OIL TO DRILL FOR YEARS
 COME, GOLD BAY

According to a well known and fairly authentic source, the Standard Oil company, will continue drilling operations in the Cold Bay district for a period of at least ten years. It was also stated that the fact the company has thus far drilled two dry holes, means nothing, for in pro- ducing oil fields turnout the world, thousands of dry holes have been dug, while, sometime at a short distance, gushers emit the liquid gold high by the hundreds of barrels.
 It is also a we'll established fact that prior to the entry into the west ward district of. the big oil compa- nies, nationally known experts and authorities visited the district and pronounced oil was there.
 The recent shutdown of the Asso- ciated drilling crew means little aside from what the recent news item stated, that the work has ceas- ed, principally on account of lack of fuel and general winter conditions. Drilling will be resumed in March. The Standard oil crew has been cut down to some extent but there is still a crew at work carrying on drilling operations. As was stated in The Gateway last week, due to an accident, which occurred to the drill some days ago, all drilling has there fore ceased, but only temporarily.
 An Associated Press dispatch from San Francisco last week, from the head offices of the company, an- nounced drilling would be continued indefinitely, or, until a we'll was brought in. This announcement, it is stated should be sufficient for re- joicement by every citizen in the Territory.
