FAST CAME ON TONIGHT; MAY
 BE LAST HERE

What may possibly be the last basketball game of the season on the Juneau High gym floor will be played tonight when the Hill toppers meet the Bremen. The fans are promised a fast and snappy match by the captains and coaches of both teams.
 The game will be comeback event for the Bremen. They lost by several points to the Hilltop pers earlier in the season and the squad is confident of vic- tory that will even the game honors. With star forwards, Orme and Hollmann, and all other players down the lineup of both teams to the goal tenders, the fans are predicting one of the best all around games of the sea- son.
 The game tonight will be the last on the local floor this season unless Petersburg agrees to play the Southeastern championship match on the Channel.
 For several years past Juneau has been making long trips to meet her opponents and it is felt by the local school officials that now, with the finest gymnasium in the Territory, the courtesy of holding the championship tourna- ment here should be extended. Last year the games were held in Wranglel where the gym is of necessity small. Large 0 W s could not be accommodated and local team played under a general handicap. Another viewpoint ex- pressed in favor of the games here is that Douglas and Juneau could supply larger crowd that would make it much easier to pay the expenses of the travelling i team.
 Early in the season Petersburg, as winner over Ketchikan, ex- pressed willingness to play in Juneau. This, however, seems to be indefinite at this time. In the event of the Petersburg and Ju- neau teams clashing the winner would more than likely meet the winner of the Westward and In- terior and play to decide the Ter ritorial title.
 i Unless negotiations are con cluded shortly, Coach Waid said that the Hiliroppers may: disband, thus making the game tonight

SHOOT TOMORROW;
 FANS WILL FORM
 SKEET TRAP CLUB

With prospects of a bright, fail day tomorrow, that should make fl possible for good scoring, members of the gun club are preparing for bigger Sunday event than usual. Besides the regular shoot the men are going to take steps to organ ize skeet club, the popular form of clay bird shooting that is en- gazing the attention of the fans in the south and east It affords a greater thrill for the money than the regular method of breaking the blue rocks.
 Unless there are shooters pre- sent tomorrow who were not at the traps last Sunday the final scoring for the prizes that have been put up, will be contested for. The prizes will be awarded to high man of two string targets of 25 each. The first string was shot last week with the result that Dr. W. w. Council was high with 22 broken birds and Waterude was second high with 21.
 The proposed skeet club has been considered by the Juneau Gun Club for some time. The name is not significant of the style of shooting to say she least. In skeet shooting, instead of stand ing behind the traps, as in the nsu- al clay bird style, the man is at an angle from the traps, of which there are two sets at either end of crescent or half circle. The shooters are stationed at desig- mated points around the rim of the circle and try for the blue rocks as they are shot from the traps. The targets are cast to- ward point several yards in front of the crescent tips by the trap on the other end of the half circle. The two trap guns are set at different heights from the ground, thus affording the fan a ground shot or high flying shot. The arrangement also gives the fan the opportunity to break two birds that have been cast at the same time, one from either trap I The club has at this time fine ground for the new field. The

LOSE
 COSTLY SERIES
Drop Two Games to Alas kans and Lost Lead in
 Elks Tournament

The Daily Alaskans last night spilled the beans for the Butch CTS when they won two out of three games from the former in the Elks House Tournament, sec- ond section. This was costly for the meat cutting experts who headed the league before the match and were forced to a tie with the Bankers and Customs for first place.
 Each of the three teams have now won 14 and lost ten games. Tonight the Alaskans and Law yers meet in the final three games. The latter have an out side chance to advance to the top, making a four-team tie. If they can take three straight games they will achieve this.
 Should they be successful, a play-off between the four teams will be necessary, otherwise the Butchers, Bankers and Customs will have to fight it out for the right to meet the Electrics, win ners of the first half, for grand honors. The Electrics copped in the first section by a wide mar gin. The second section saw more of see-saw action by the four teams contesting for first place. As the season advanced better bowling characterized the playing Of all squads. The series for final honors is expected to be close, hard-contested scrap.
