Consider the cass .: -siS College of Puget Sound, at Tacoma, Wash ington.
 Columns have been spilled on the subject of commercialism and over emphasis of football, the menace of the gate receipts, the million dollar athletic budget and the bal lyhoo.
 At the College of Puget Sound the student manager reports that football showed a net LOSS ot $2,000, whereas debating and dra- matics, among other undergraduate activities, produced profits, la s | year.
 Had football broken even, it might be said that affairs had reached the ideal state of propor- tion in the collegiate organization Educators might, in fact, hail this as a great example However, at the College of Puget Sound there is no enthusiasm whatever.
 Nelson R. Hong, in the Tacoma News Tribune, writes:
 Logger gridders played to little more than empty seats in Tacoma Lack of color is the reason foot ball fans did not turn out in larg- CT numbers. With this disastrous sfinancial season behind it the Col lege of Puget Sound should be more anxious than ever to do some thing to put football on a self sup porting basis, if not paying basis.
 By employing a coach of per- sonality and color the College of Puget Sound can take the most effective step to rout Old Man Fi- nancial Difficulty"
 1. As the boys in Enid, Okla, and elsewhere have hastened to point i, out to us, Eddie Morgan, the Cleve- land clouter, seems more occupied with making a success of the first base job than with any ambitions to be another Cobb or Speaker in the outfield.
 In fact, Eddie played only 19 games in the outfield last year, as compared with 129 at first base, where he displaced the veteran ePortuguese, Lew Fonseca, and turned in a very neat job.

Hurrah for the Juneau high school girls! They won again at basketball last night. If they can keep their present pace for another week, they seem certain to annex the championship of Gastineau Channel, thus qualifying themselves to play for the Southeast Alaska title against the victor of the Pe- tersburg -Ketchikan series. Last nights score was Juneau II, Douglas g. Each team has won two contests in their five-game tourna- ment. The next and deciding strug- gle will be at Douglas next Friday evening. At the beginning of the present series, Juneau did not show to advantage, and Douglas took the first two encounters. Juneau then developed winning form and has captured the last two games.
 Dash and Confidence In the high school gymnasium here last night, Juneau played with dash and confidence. Douglas was nervous and over-anxious.
 Details follow:
 First quarter-Fast and close checking featured the early play. L. Jackson of the Juneau team scored the first point of the game, registering one on a foul shot. R. Africh caged the ball on a foul shot for Douglas. L. Jackson made another point from the charity line for Juneau. Due to close checking, there was frequent fouling on both sides. Douglas had numerous shots at the basket but failed to sink the ball.
 Second quarter-R. Africh scored a goal for Douglas. M. Hansen per formed likewise for Juneau. R. Africh recorded point for Doug las on a foul shot, tying the score just as the quarter ended.
 Fast and Close Playing
 Third quarter-L. Jackson scored a goal for Juneau. M. Hansen reg istered point for Juneau on foul shot, The play was fast and close. Douglas wards on numerous shots were unable to cage the ball.
 Fourth quarter-R. Africh made one point for Douglas from the charity line. L. Jackson scored two goals in rapid succession for Ju- neau. The last few minutes of play witnessed a fast exchange of pass es. Douglas girls seemed over anxious, every time they tried to sink the ball.

Juneau high school boys gave Douglas high school boys the scare of their young lives in the basket ball game last night in the gym nasium of the local high school.

Frank Becker, we'll known oldtimer of Alaska, and who will be well re- membered by residents of Iditarod and Flat as having been connected with the Iditarod Pioneer, died at Seward on January 23, according to the Seward Gateway, which says:
 Frank Becker, who has been on the reporotrial staff of the Gateway during the past three years, died this morning at about 8:15 from acute heart trouble. He had been in the Gateway office but few minutes be- fore his sudden passing and appar- ently was in his usual good health, for he had not complained of being unwell; in fact he had, never been heard to say that he: was afflicted with heart trouble.
 "A markeds talent for, jernalism, coupled with an. exceeding ikable disposition, created for him a wide circle of friends. He2can be ranked as. an eldtimer of Alaska, for it was more than 20 years ago when. he first arrived in Alaska from the States, To- eating in the Iditarod district. He fol- lowed newspaper work and mining there for couple of years,. then went back to the States, where he worked on many of the leading pa- pers until the Gall of the NorthY became too strong. Three years ago he returned and since then had spent his time between Seward, Kodiak and Sitkalidak Island.

Wild Flowers of Value
Only Where They Grow

There is something wrong with the
person who wantonly mars or destroys
natural beauty, such as wild flowers.
Yet there are enough such persons to
arouse the indignation and solicitude
of those who respect the beauties of
nature. 1t is common to see people
pulling up wild flowers from the road
side, carrying them to their cars.
Public cooperation is needed to
maintain beauty Of the whole country
side. 1t is ironical that with the in
creasing number Of motor cars and fine
roads, making outdoor beauty accessi-
BILE to the multitude, the beauty thus
accessible should be married and in
some instances destroyed. Wild flow
ers are Of little value for home deco
ration. Usually they are faded before
they can be placed in water. When
they are uprooted they are virtually
destroyed, for they do not respond IA
vorably) to transplanting. They are
much more valuable where they grow.
All they ask is to be let alone. I'm
molested, they so on and multiply and
bloom and refresh us and edify us.
They brighten our way. Why darken
theirs kansas City Star.
