 In the last canto F. Peterson scored first, followed by Brandt, both shots being from the field. Bailey converted. Bayers sank one for two points making the count 1918. F. Peterson sank a free throw for Ketchikan's last point and Nelson did likewise for Juneau
 The Ketchikan boys were led by H. Peterson who made ten points. They showed good teamwork and have good checking lineup which kept the locals from scoring many points. Nelson and Berggren were the offensive and defensive main stays respectively of the Juneau High School. Seven personal fouls were called on Juneau and eight on Ketchikan.

years that he has given to football compares favorable with the best and despite a few bad seasons there are few coaches in the coun- try whose success has been so con- tinuous and whose victories are so numerous as the Cornell mentors.
 The quiet Scot of Lake Cayuga is unique in that he has taken his setbacks in the same fashion as his triumphs. But best of all, in the lean years when victories were few and far between, he did not come forth as a reformer and stress the moral values in football.
 Bob zuppke once remarked that when a coach has a losing season he usually emphasizes in his talks to alumni the intangible benefits derived from the sport"
 Not so with the exponent of the "off-tackle" play. He coaches a team with as much regard for ethic as the best mentors in the game, but Dobie is honest enough to say that he coaches with the idea of winning the battles uppermost in his mind.
 If he loses he is frank enough to say what he thinks and if he wins he is usually ready to give you his opinion.
 Is Smart Coach
 Those who know Dobie well real ize that no man in football has been more completely misunder- stood than he. No man knows the intricacies of mass play or the subtleties of smart attack better than the producer of the Big Red team. Football is his life's work, but unfortunately fate has placed him in a workshop where there is a dearth of material.
 Considering the quality of the at Ithaca, that is, their football ability in general, Dobie has done a remarkable piece of work. He has made better than average players ont of men who never believed they were cut out for the strenuous game.
 Hugh Bradley, well-known sport writer, says that there are various gentlemen in the football world WhO give annie caIlSn for the he lief that they do not like Gil Dobie or Major Frank Cavanaugh, to name two gentlemen who are con- stantly coming in for adverse criti- cism. Possibly, that is because Cavanaugh and Dobie have shown themselves better football coaches | while avoiding the usual slush with frankness.

SCHOOL BUNCH DROPS BATTLE
 TO KETCHIKAN
Hard-Fought See-Saw Tilt Ends in One-Point
 Win for Visitors

Juneau basketball fans were treated to one of the hottest fought and closest battles seen on local courts for years when the Juneau High School five dropped a hoop tilt to the Ketchikan City bunch 20 to 19 in the second game of a doubleheader in the High School gymnasium last night.
 By the time the whistle blew ending the game, the fans who had turned cut were undoubtedly more fatigued than those who took part in the game, for the first game on the program was equally hard fought and ended by the same margin-and Juneau team had lost.
 That Ketchikan could repeat their victory over the Hilltoppers would be at least an even bet, for the First City men outweighed the To- calls IS to 20 pounds to the man.
 Long Shots Count
 Three lcpg shots put in by H. Peterson, big center for the visi- tors, were psychological and mathe- nautical matters of importance, but had the weight of the locals been anywhere near even with the Ket- chikan boys there is little doubt the outcome would have been re- versed
 Conversions by Brandt and Nell son opened the scoring and the lead jumped to four points when Bayers sank field goal. F. Pet erson scored a minute later and was followed by Nelson, who put the score at 6-2 for Juneau where it was at the quarter.
 Ketchikan came back in the second frame hwen H. Peterson cas- ually dropped a pair through the hoop, one from the middle of the floor. A conversion by Brandt ! immediately after counted one for Juneau. Towards the end of the period Brandt counted two points from. the field but H. Peterson cut the lead down to 9-8 in favor of Juneau with a beautiful shot from mid-court just before the half ended.
 Second Half
 Berggren converted to open the second half. Bailey sank one from the field to tie the count Brandt converted. Ketchikan took the lead when H. Peterson treated the fans with another sensational mid-floor shot, Bayers reversed the lead with short field goal Hurley converted. Murphy tied the score from the field and H. Peterson sank a short one to put the score at

DOPE UPSET BY DOUGLASS;
 BEAT JUNEAU
Islanders One Point Better than Locals in Fire
 men Mix-up

Filing up l8 points to their op- ponents' in the first and third quarters, the Douglas Bremen quin- tet nosed out the Juneau Bremen team by single point in the open ing game of doubleheader in the High School gymnasium last night | Although the local outfit was fav- cred to win as the two teams went on the floor, the Islanders upset the dope in the first meeting of this season of these rivals, and won the tilt largely on their close checking of the firing activities of the Juneauites.
 It looked like a one-sided affair in the initial canto of the fracas, for the Douglas bunch was hitting the hoop. When the quarter ended the scoreboard read Douglas 14, Juneau 6. Manning and Bon mar shared honors in this big period with six field goals each.
 Juneau comes bacK
 Coming back strong in the second period the locals were good for 12 chalkers to a single point by their opponents and led at the half 18 to Is. Hollmann and Gallwas did all the scoring for the Juneau aggregation in this period.
 Things switched right back to where they were at the end of the first quarter after the second half began, for the visitors plunked in two field goals while Juneau re- mained idle. Score 1918.
 The last canto saw things picking up and it was a standstill fight to the finish. Mangan and Killewich converted in succession to give Ju- neau team a one point lead. Bon ner tied things up at 20-all with a conversion for Douglas.
 Unusual Ending
 Blake sank a short field goal to give the locals the edge again Manning sank short one for 22- all tie. Cashen and Manning con- verted in order to finish their teams scoring. Just before the game ended Hollmann was fouled and given two shots after the final whistle had blown. He sank the first but the second took bad hop from the hoop and the game ended.
 Eleven personal fouls were called on Juneau, 9 on Douglas.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Edwin B. Dooley says that the finest tribute that has been paid to Gil Dobie, coach of Cornell, came from the committee of seventeen appointed by Cornell alumni to investigate the athletic situation of the un- dergraduates at Ithaca, when the committee reported that in a con- sensus of opinions taken among Cornell football players past and present, there was "a practically unanimous sentiment in favor of him as a man and as a coach,' and that under him the Cornell foot ball team has won greater per- centage of games than under any other coach"
