her for his own, after the manner Of
the jungle. He laid his plans skill
fully.
He knew King Alumbo took a
siesta each afternoon. None dared
disturb the monarch then, and that
was the time Oombah chose to
court the royal consort. Accordingly,
one afternoon when the king lay
sleeping, his tail knotted around a
branch, Oombah clambered lightly
to the branch where Queen Alombo
sat summing her auburn fur.
Oombah offered the queen a bit
of banana peel which he had saved
from the monday meal. The queen,
struck by this act of devotion, in
vited the young man to accompany
her on a scamper through the
foliage She had admired his ability
to hang by his tail for hours with
out getting dizzy, and was glad to
know him better.
Day after day Oombah and the
queen spent hours together, and
many a rare bii~pf gossip got about
the court. But none dared tell the
king, and they say for a long time
he never knew
Came day, however, when Num-
DO could not sleep. He was restless
and went for stroll, an unprece-
dented procedure. He came upon
Oombah and the queen carrying on
their courtship. Believing with rage
he called the royal simian guard
and through the tree tops they flew
after Oombah and the luckleSs
queen.
Oombah fought with all his
might, but in the end was tossed
broken to earth. The queen was
put to death by royal command.
Keepers of the ZOO later that day
came across the torn body of the
bold Oombah. They suspected it
was a case of "cherchez Ia femme
and found the woman, also dead.

The first half saw the teams go to their dressing rooms with the score standing lilo in favor of the visitors. The local boys came back with greater determina- tion than ever to win and piled op a lead for a win.
 2 Shaquanie at center gives the local team a balance it did not have before. Brown at forward did mighty fine work and will develop into a hard, fast player. The whole team did we'll and with the material at hand they should be we'll up when the hi series is played.
 Gordon for Petersburg and Pe- terson for Ketchikan were high score each man making four and three goals respectively
 Murphy. F and H. Peterson, Bailey and Hall represented Ket- chikan; Brown, Ness, Shaquanie, Gordon and Jackson comprised the local high school quintet.
 KETCHIKAN WINS GAME
 A Town team composed of Shaquanie, Runstad, Johnson, Wasvick, Barnrider and Evans met the Ketchikan team but did not fare kindly as did the High team. The visitors were out for and got it to the tune Of 28-18.
 The visitors showed better team work than they did in the first game. their passing and was much snappier and they were just too many for the local boys.
 The game was full of thrills and the crowd. tho small, was highly enthusiastic. The gate receipts from both games were rather disappointing and will not give the local teams chance to keep out of the red.
