ALUMNI CHAMPIONS
 STAGE COMEBACK

After an absence of three years from a local basket ball court. the N II. s. Alumni defeated the high sehOol squad by a score of 20 IS. The game was filled with thrills from beginning to finish Tn the ast minute of play the high school after several attempts eaged bas- ket to tie the score but the play was ruled incomplete because of Wheeler travelling with the ball. The whistle blew saving the game for the Alumni.
 The high school boys were work ing at a disadvantage by breaking a new man, Desmond. at center and switching Engstrom to his old berth at forward and running mate to Wheeler Their machine worked with such snap and precision that at times they were unstopable but poor craftsmanship and failure to see men in the open lost the game for the high school squad
 The alumni played their old con- sistent game, playing tight ball in the pinches and waiting for the breaks. With cool nerve and little luck the alums forged into the lead in the final minutes and were leading their successors by the narrow margin of two points.
 Coach .Fabricious is having quite a task in breaking Desmond into his style of play which is the five men defense with the eriss cross offensive. Should the team deYel- op in this system, without doubt they will be strong contenders for the championship which will be played at Ketchikan in February.

lations to be swung round in the
direction of the arrows (which
indicates that of the diurnal rev.
olutfon of the heavensl until Ursa
Major occupies the position
marked west" and Cassiopeia
that marked least" That is a.
position quite easy to be deter
mined and it occurs at 10 p. m,
August 10; II p. M, July 20;
midnight, July 10: a. m, June
26, and 2 a. M, June IL.
Turn them again until the posi-
ton is just the reverse of that
shown in the cut, Cassiopeia TAX
ing the place over the pole, and
Ursa Major that below it on the
northern horizon. This is the
actual situation at 10 p. m.
November 8; IL p. M, October 20;
midnight, October 10; l a. M,
September 20, and 2 a. M, Sep
TENDER 10. Now, again, the Pole
Star Is directly north.
The next turn a quarter Of the
way round will bring Ursa Major
to the place marked East" and
Cassiopeia TO that marked
West" a situation which actual
ly occurs at 10 p. M, February 6;
IL p. m, January %; midnight,
January 8; a. M, December "a,
and 2 a. M, December 9.
These four positions are chosen
because each of them is one
quite easily recognizable by DR.
binary observation. Do not for
get that the dates and hours
given are only approximate,
though they are near enough cor
rect to show the time perhaps
more truly than a carelessIy kept
watch or clock.
Another thing: You can, on the
basis of the dates and hours
above given, make estimates for
other dates and hours by utilizing
the fact that the circumpolar corr
stellations swing round the pole
at the rate of Is degrees in an
hour; in three hours, then, Ursa
Major would pass halfway from
it's position overhead to that west
of the pole. With practice, the
change in half an hour is readily
detected. Also, remember that
by the annual revolution of the
heavens the consultations are
advanced about one degree every
night, or about 80 degrees in a
month. A starfinder Is an invalu-
able help to the understanding
Of these relations.

a READER wishes to know
how to find the time of
Il Anight by the stars. Only
the astronomer in his onserva-
tory can do that with accuracy,
but anybody can do 1t approx
nlately by the aid Of the great
star-clock of the North, whose
center is indicated by the Pole
star, while its hands are the
two opposing consultations, Ursa
Major Tor the Great Dipper"D
and Cassiopeia.
Here is a little chart showing
the relative position of these i'm
portant consultations with refer
ence to the North Pole Of the
heavens The observer is sup.
posed to be facing North when
the star Zeta in the middle of the
handle of the Great Dipper" is
vertically above the pole, while
the star Delta in Cassiopeia is
vertically below the pole, and
close to the northern horizon, so
that a. straight line drawn down
ward from Zeta through the Pole
star to Delta passes also through
the invisible North Pole Of the
heavens, which, when the star
clock is in the position shown,
lies straight over the Pole star
and a little more than a degree
away from it, toward Fem.
Now assuming that people in
general are most apt to ask the
stars what time 1t Is, somewhere
between 10 p. m. and midnight,
or between midnight and 2 a. m,
| have made the following little
tables, and written the following
directions, to aid such night
strayers to find where they art
at" in space-time. Our job is
to correlate the star.clock with
the indications OF ordinary time
pieces.

they may have is assumed by the

Fear weighs me down and trips

Nor have / ever found any

Our social conventions are built
on fear. Our business principles
express fearful caution at every
