 After defeating Ketchikan the week before the Island boys were doped to put up strong fight, but for some reason did not. Douglas supporters believe the story will be different when their team plays at home in the Nat this week, while Juneau fans are silently waiting to see what happens.

Sport :, S1ants ALAN J.6oulD


 The bidding among a number of colleges ne ding head football coaches for the services of Captain Lawrence M. (BifD Jones of West Point is just so much waste of time and telegrams. Better re- suits can be obtained by wiring to South Bend where the names and addresses of any number of talent cd coaches, products of the Rockne System, can be obtained.
 The Army, it seems, will not lose riff Jones at all, nor will West Point miss him altogether It is likely that only an intermission, required by military regulations will be declared so far as his connec- tion with the Academy up the Hud son is concerned.
 Jones is succeeded this year as head coach by cavalryman who commanded a tank battalion in the war, Major Ralph Sasse, but Biff is slated to return to West Point as graduate manager" of athletics after serving a year in the artillery school at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
 At about the same time it would not be surprising to see Christian Keener (Red) Cagle return to West Point as assistant coach, perhaps eventually to take over the head coaching assignment after Sasse has completed his four-year term of office.
 The Army will keenly miss Major Philip Flemings guiding hand in athletics, if and when military reg ulations require his transfer else where, but it could hardly do any better than install the genial and capable Jones in this post.
 Although the Amateur Athletic Union did not disclose this informa- ton officially, it was no particular secret that the abrupt ban on an American campaign by the Polish runner Stanislaw Petkiewicz, bally- hooed as the conqueror of the great Nurmi, was due in part to his ap- parent management by Hugo Quist, one time pilot of Nurmi.
 Regardless of MT. Quist's motives and he has. staunchly defended himself against any wrongdoing on the occasion of Nurmi's tours-the A. A. U. does not consider it all for the best to have amateur athletes, especially visitors, guided by men of professional promoting experience.
 To forestall therefore, the pos sibility of any aftermath of scan dal such as followed the tours of Nurmi and Charley Hoff, the Nor wegian pole vaulter, the A. A. U. decided to put the ban on the Pol ish transformer. The inference was that Petkiewiczs competitive mo- lives were not based solely upon the altruistic idea of studying Ameri- can athletic and educational meth odS.
 If Primo Camera, the Italian heavyweight giant, had come to these shores to join the side-show of a circus, he hardly would receive more than a paragraph or two of passing mention, yet his arrival as a pueilist arouses columns of bally- hoo that will do him no particular harm nor boxing fandom, perhaps, any particular good.
