HOOP SQUAD
 AND LIONS
 MEET TODAY
Juneau High Five, Coach Waid and Supt. Keller
 Guests at Luncheon

Honoring the Juneau Hilltop pers, their coach, H, k. Waid, and W. K. Keller, superintendent of schools, the Juneau Lions Club met at 12: 90 o'clock today in the Forget Me-Not tea rooms for their weekly meeting.
 Following the luncheon, R. F. Robertson, acting as President, gave a short welcome address, and told the Hilltoppers the luncheon was given to them to show the appreciation of local people for their winning of the basketball championship of Southeastern Al aska..
 s. Basketball is the object of the physical education work of the schools, according to w. K. Keller, who declared gymnasium work na- turally led to boys trying for places with the school quintet.
 Boys Work Hard
 Training rules were observed more strictly than ever before, Supt. Keller said. and this was undoubtedly contributing fac tor in Juneau winning her first hoop crown in many years. Some of the boys on the team. he added. have worked for their places for .F h a i,,er rIp p ed with both the high school and elementary teams, giving much of their time in a division of work connected with the school which is not included as a regular school activity, in hours spent in turning out when no benefit as far as credits and school work are con cerned.
 Luck, diplomacy and the spirit loyalty and cooperation of the basketball squad were given as the factors in the victory of the Hilltoppers over Petersburg by Coach Waid. who made a shor. talk to the Lions.
 Breaks in the game, and the use of diplomacy count for a great deal, he asserted, but the boys themselves are the deciding fac tor. Men who are loyal, willing to work together with a spirit of fair play, can do wonders, Coach Waid said.
 "The basketball championship itself will soon be forgotten, and is not of great importance" he continued. But viewed as al miniature game of life, where the employment of the correct meth ods means the attainment of a goal. it is an important thing in the life of all the boys. We give them square deal, and in re- turn they are loyal to the cause

COTTON CROP
VERY SPOTTED
Claim insufficient
Moisture in Many
Sections

The 1928 cotton crop i the most
spotted ever gown in the Valley,
is the opinion Of Clyde Tandy who
states that he has cotton in some
fields that will average close TO two
bales TO the acre, and other fields
that will not average a bale to 20
acres.
The unequal distribution Of mois-
ture is the cause attributed by Mr..
Tandy to the peculiar condition Of
the Fields.
Cotton that was irrigated ten
days ago will make a heavy crop,
he predicts. The plants are bloom
ing and fruiting heavily. Cotton
that received no moisture at tina.
time is showing the effects, he
states. and will not produce p%rolifi-
cslly. He expressed the opinion
that the recent showers did no mate
rial damage except TO delay picking
Of early cotton.
Very similar conditions arc report
cd from all parts Of the Valley, N.
GLIDING the unirrigated sections. The
rains were "spotssd." growers state
some parts receiving twice as much
moisture as others. As n result some
Of the lands dried ont rapidly dur

KANSAS CITY, Jan. N9-Nearly
10000 seats will be available for
spectators at the republican national
convention here next June, it was
estimated today, when seating plans
we're gone over by the COMMITTEES
on arrangements, headed by William
M Butler, of Massachusetts, chairman
of the republican national committee
! The committee tentatively approved
with minor notifications plans drawn
locally for fitting up convention hall
for the convention.
Louis Shouse, manager Of the build
ing, estimated the total seating
capacity at approximately 10000.
Delegates and alternateS will require
about 1900 seats, approximately 300
seats will go to- distinguished guests
and arrangements Will be made to
seat about. 800 working newspaper
men.
Disposal of tickets for spectators
will be in the hands OF the national
committeeman, several of whom eX-
pressed concern over the demands
that will be made upon them. The
allotments, they said, would supply
only fraction OF those desiring to
attend the sessions.
Mr.. Butler and the other members
of the committee refused TO discuss
candidates or platforms, declaring
their meeting was a business one
having only to do with completing
physical arrangements for the con-
vention.
Plans were discussed for establish
ing headquarters OF the national COM
mittee in the Midland theater build
ing in the event the space could be
obtained at "a reasonable figure.
Some Importance was attached by
observers here to the fact that Harry
Blair, John T. Adams and G. H
Huston were together q coed part
of today, and that Mr.. Blair was
seeking to make large number OF
hotel reservations.
All three are friends of Herbert
Hoover, secretary OF commerce, an
oft discussed possible candidate fol
the republican nomination.
Mr.. Blair formerly was assistant
treasurer Of the party, Mr.. Huston
formerly was assistant secretary o1
commerce and Mr.. Adams is a former
national committee chairman.
Mr.. Blair said he was mere seeking
"about Is hotel room reservations FOL
friends of Mr. Hoover" but refused
to discuss the secretarys possibilities
or any other angle OF politics.
