only in the ball being given to the opposing team out-of-bounds.
 After the free throw on tech nical foul, the ball is to be re- turned to the center circle for re- sumption of play. No longer will the toSs-up be held on the foul line. Possibility Is Eliminated Past rules have made it possible for player to score five points on single play, but a change in the new rules eliminates that possi- bility. Under the old system, man 1 fouled in the act of shooting might sink that original shot for two points. Then he would be allowed two free throws for the foul, could score the first free throw and if he missed the second, might take the rebounding ball and cage a field goal to total five points. The new regulations allow only one free throw in such case if the original free shot is completed Should the fouled man miss the original try he would be permitted two free chances.

WARE ARE WACED FOR PREDATORY ANIMAL CONTROL
Governor Says Survey of Conditions Is Needed
 for Wise Action

During the past fiscal year Pre- datory Animal Control work has been carried on under the joint di- reotion of the Governor of Alaska and the Alaska Game Commission chiefly with the object of training men in the control of predatory wild animals and in the investiga- tion of reports of depredations by wolves and coyotes in certain sec tions of Alaska recites Gov George A. Parks in his annual re- port to the Secretary of the h. terior.
 Assistance has been given the private trapper. Formulas of various proved scent materials and coach- ing in the proper methods of trap setting for predators have been given.
 With our present Territorial ap- propriation of $30,000 for the bien- nium beginning April l, 1929 and ending March 31, 1881 and our Federal appropriation of S5.000 for the fiscal year ending June 30 1881, it is thought that complete survey of conditions affecting game fur and the reindeer industry can be completed and a successful method of control inaugurated.

CHANGES MADE IN BASKETBALL
 SPEED UP GAME
New Regulations Affect Several Phases of
 Popular Pastime

A number of notable changes in basketball rules for 1930-31, some calculated to speed up the game and others to clarify doubtful regu- lations of the past, are noted as high school and other teams are engaged in the season of compc- tition.
 First of all, cfficiai dimensions of the basketball itself have been de- . creased. The ball may be from 30 to 31 inches in circumference this year, this range being one inch less than that allowed in the past. As a consequence, it is figured players may find it a bit easier to sink the round thing through the basket.
 One of the new rules is expected to accomplish considerable toward speeding play. It specifics that a . man may not hold a ball no longer than five seconds when closely guarded-that is, Ii the guarding opponent is within one yard of him. A held ball and toss-up will be called in case of violation.
 Rules as to Tip-off
 Another new ruling concerns the tip-off A man may strike the ball twice on a toss-up, but not more than twice After hitting the spher- old in this manner the player may not touch it again until after it has been touched by another player or has struck the floor, basket or blackboard
 Under the new code a technical foul is called if the center steps outside the mid-floor circle before the ball is tapped on toss-up. In the past such action has resulted

River and Susitna River sections was planned and based on inveSti- gations made a year previous. Un- fortunately for the material success of the campaign there was a com- plete shift of all wild life through out the entire section. The rodents and small animals seemed to have reached the low period in their life cycle, and along with the periodl- cal shifting of the caribou herds, caused a dearth of prey for preda- tors. Investigations show that under these conditions the coyote and wolf fail to breed, and that they follow the caribou herds to a great extent.
 During early spring, investiga- tions were made of the Matanuska River district, which indicate the need of some work on coyote con- trol in that section in the near future.
 Aplll loO JO OQllS oO, looO, 1AA vestigations were made on the islands of the Alexander Archi- pelago. Reports of large numbers of wolves through this entire section were found to be greatly exagger- ated.

 On the islands of Wrangell, Eto- lin, BroWnson and Deer, tracks Of wolves were seen at every place visited, and the carcasses of a great many deer killed recently were found
 "A marked decrease of wolves has been reported throughout the island districts which were worked last year.
 For the coming year it is plan ned to carry the work into the reindeer sections in the Third and Fourth Divisions to determine to what extent the wolves and coyotes are affecting that industry. If the conditions found warrant it, con- '

And He Died in Poverty

George Roger Clarke. a son of Old Virginia, is one
Of the immortals Of American history. He was a he
roic soldier, a dauntlesS pathfinder, a master among
the aces Of early explorers. a knightiy sort Of a
knightly commonwealth who added a vast empire TO
the American republic.
He died in poverty.
A golden sword was presented 10 him by the Viz
Ginia legislature when he needed money to buy the
necessities Of life. He not only died in poverty but
died broken hearted for the reason that his fellow
men had failed to recognize his wonderful achieve
ments as the pathfinder and maker Of an empire.
Now Rep. Vestal. an Indiana republican lawmaker,
has introduced a bill to authorize an additional $780,
600 for the George Rogers Clarke memorial to be
constructed at Vincennes.
In the long ago the pathfinder endured all the
p~rivations OF poverty in his old age. Now he is TO be
given q memorial monument that will pierce the
