TRIBAL DANCES PROMISE
 ENTERTAINMENT, THURSDAY

Tomorrow night, starting at g o'clock in the Roller Rink, A. B. Hall, Douglas Camps A. N. B. and A. N. s. will show to the people of Juneau, the Indian Tribal Dances, or festivlty dances, in all glories of bygone days,
 These dances will be performed chiefly by those who are left of the once Taku Tribe. This tribe numbered around 10000 at its peak of population in the olden days and was known as the most formidable tribe in Alaska. They fought battles along the coast from Port Simpson up to Yakutat, and up through the Taku River to the Interior.
 In those days there were dozen villages along the Taku River, the Capital being at high water mark, just mile above the present De- Vighne camp. The farthest vil- ldSc WdS dUONC Oilc 1ulotqueil lb4NSi. I. Bc5ides fighting other tribes, there were many domestic battles, until finally half of the tribe moved to what is now known as the Town of Klawock. At that time the population dwindled greatly by con- tinuous wars, after dividing, very few remained of the Taku tribe, til today there are only a hand full left.
 Many wierd costumes will be worn by the dancers, some of them handed down from four to five generations. Among these will be a huge dragon fly, which in the olden times, had the most in- furious habit of biting a persons hair, thereby making him bald headed, or leaving white streak of hair on the person for the rest Of his life.

The appointment of Orville Neal, as
sistant coach at western Maryland last
year, as head foot ball coach at Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, comes as
something of a surprise to those that
thought the Blacksburg school might
want the services of an older and more
experienced man. However, 1t is true
that Neal is far more experienced than
the average man just out of college,
and undoubtedly knows more foot ball.
Neal played year at York College,
out in Kansas before entering the Ma
rine Corps. He then played four years
on the Marine eleven, after which he
went to Penn State and was q member
of the freshman team there. He left
Penn State to enter Western Maryland
College, where he played varsity foot
ball, and last year was assistant coach
and did practically all the scouting.
Neal is fine chap and generally stands
well with people wherever he goes. And
there is not the least doubt that he was
a great foot ball player.
This is not the first time that Virginia
Polytechnic Institute has taken a man
without much previous coaching ex-
perience to handle it's foot ball squad.
Andy Gustafson, who was at Blacksburg
for several years until he resigned at the
end of the past season to become assist
ant coach at Pittsburgh, was just out
of college when he took charge, and he
made one of the best coaches Virginia
Polytechnic Institute has had.
