WHO IS TO BLANIE2

Every Alaskan who has given any thought to the refusal oI the town
 ci Wrangeu to vote i'll their school pond issue, regret the matter sin- cereIy and are sorry tor that ToWn because ot the resulting situation. However. the question is immedi-
 ately asked. Who is to blame for
 the situation2
 Several years ago bond issue was
 presented the taxpayers ot Wran-
 gell. This issue provided for pub
 lie docks, sewer system, water 8. tenn, school building and one other
 The only issue voted upon favor ably was the school bond issue pro yiding $2O,OOO for additional school , facilities. The powers that be do not mention this election at any time nor do they tell why the bonds were never issued ana sold.
 Wasn't there enough to be made out of $2O,OOO or more to be made out of $S0,000 at this time?
 Not 50 long back the Council voted in new float in the harbor across the bay. Again there is in process of building a new city dock and float in the same vicinity. The need of two floats at this time is as necessary as two thumbs on the hand. There has been in the em- ploy of the city for a long stretch of years night watchman at a salary of $1,500. the year. AS an agency for the enforcement of the law he makes a good blacksmith. There has been put into the water system sufficient to have built two good systems in place of the one which now just about holds it's own with the dry seasons.
 In three years an indebtedness of $15,000 has been accumulated and outstanding in ''red warrants. On top of this the administration which accumulated all this indebt- edness has the nerve to ask the tax payers to go into further debt to help pay up past indebtedness.
 The voter today at Wrangell can not be blamed for the loss of accre- ditation of the Wrangell school That was lost through the waste and extravaganza of the administra- tion repudiated at the polls at the last election. -> Instead of whining about the refusal of the voter to so into further debt there should be effort to get the city out of debt And effort to get the town out of illegal debt cannot be attained by asking the mayor to sign checks for which there are no funds in the bank. The remedy is there if it is sincerely desired.
 Petersburg may we'll learn from it's neighboring city the lessons of extravaganza and should benefit thereby.

Morley Drury. captain Of tho Southern California football team, this season reached the dizzy heights often predicted for him be- fore when injuries put him out of the running at such times.
 Morley is known as the hard luck" player of the Pacific coast. Last season was his worst year, a knee injury for a time threatening to ruin his career.
 It must have been q great source of satisfaction to him. when in the recent clash with California, hated rival. Drury had the greatest day of his career. His remarkable per formance played a big part in the decisive 1S-n victory the Trojans scored over the Bears.
 All young Mr. Drury did against California was to gain o43 yards from straight formations make five spectacular tackles. nipplng Cali fornia rallies. and stop the opposi- tion's greatest threat by intercepting a forward pass and returning if 50 yards.
 Fame came quickly 10 Drury in his sophomore year. he being in" only member of that class 10 make the varsity as q regular. A triple threat man. he soon earned the name Sticky Fingers" because Of his ability 10 receive passes as well as punt and gain through the line or around the ends It is said he has never muffed q pass that he re- ceived squarely in his hands.
 During the 1926 season he was in iured in the third game of the year against Washington State and wasn't able to play again during the remainder of the regular season, finally managing to recover Sunl- ciently 10 perform against Notr" Dame> in the poSt-gcason contest.

Both were missed, Southern California losing. l3-lH. Earlier. Stanford won over Jones' team by the same score because the substi- ute kicker failed in both attempts to score a point after touchdown.
 This year. cssaying a Comback. after nearly year Of idleness on the gridiron, he performed in sensation al style and was a serious All America candidate.

 The Krar brothers from East Hartford, George and Joe. were both set back in their bouts last night. George, an excellent catcher. staggered through three rounds against Ray Strong Of Hartford in the 124 pound class. Strong sent him down several times for the count of nine but George was on his feet at the end of the session.
 Not so with Brother Joe. how ever. because when ''slow-motio Joe Slime from Hartford in the 13p
 pounds class, hit aim once, the fight was over. Joe doesn't hit very often but when he doas, "Oh, row-de- dow.' Slime caught krar right on the button with short right hand in the first round and the fight wes over

Zotter had the better of the first round but hard punch sent him grosey in the sec. ond. Novack was on him like a ti- ger and several mole stiff iol,s 70 the jaw brought this. exhibition 10 close.
 Al Ferguson. new member of the Franco-American cub Of Wa terbury. in the l2o pount class. won an easy three-round victory over Joe Cody of this city. Cody ducks prettily but he forgets to punch, Ferguson hit him almost at will with rights and lefts and had the fight by wide margin.

The bout was called n draw at the end of the third round and Camp punched his way to victory in the fourth. Taylor went down for the count of nine in the last session and this swung the bout in Camps favor.
 The card Of fights last night brought the 1927 season 10 a close In this city. The next tournament will be conducted soon after New Years. The bouts last night teened with action and the showing of the Boston fighters was very good. A large crowd watched the exhibitions and the old enthusiasm was pres- ent during every bout.
