 OR LOSE TITLE
Close Basketball Games Between High School
 Players Expected
----ByPap

Closely contested basketball is expected at Douglas tonight be- tween boy and girl basketball teams, representing Juneau and Douglas high schools.
 The Juneau boys must win this evening or yield the Gastineau Channel championship for the sea- son to the Islanders. The local youths have been practicing hard all this week, and they are expected to spring a few surprises.
 The Juneau girls, although twice defeated, are favored to win to- nights contest. In last weeks game they suffered few bad breaks, otherwise they might have been returned the winners. They have since improved their play and are expected to turn the tables on the Island maids this evening.
 To accommodate Juneau resi- : dents desiring to see the game, the Juneau Douglas ferryboat will make a special trip across the Channel, leaving here at 7:15 pm.

It is no longer cricket" in foot ball to insert the ball under the jersey and thereby deceive the op- position, but the origin of this famous stunt, first tried in the good old days of the Mauve De- cade, has been the subject of some debate this winter
 Due to the combined sleuthing of Penn States sports expert, Yves Dunlap, and Cornell's publicity charge d'affaires, Lou Boochever, it has been established that Pop Warner did not first teach the hidden ball trick to his Carlisle Indians but originated it in a game between Cornell and Penn State in 1897.
 Warner was coaching Cornell and the play, as executed by Halfback Allen E. (Mike) Whiting, now a resident of Philadelphia and Quar- terback c. V. P. CTar) Young, now head of Cornell's department of physical education, resulted in an easy touchdown against the Nit tany Lions.
 The documentary proof comes from MT. Whiting, who writes:
 "As far as know, Pop Warner absolutely originated this trick. One day Pop arranged to have strong elastic placed in the bottom of my jersey. He then got us on the field to coach us on the new play. IL could be used only on kickoffs.
 Young was designated the re- ceiver. As he caught the ball I placed my self directly ahead of him, with the other nine men in a circle ahead of me. Tar would stuff the ball up my back and as soon as I realized it was well placed I would yell and the whole team would yell and start fan shape in all directions. would go straight down the field; both my hands being free, it was obvious I did not have the ball.
 "Time and again in different games. I would go between two opponents close enough almost to touch me and they would stand cpen-eyed. Generally we would go straight for a touchdown.
 After the season, Prof. L. M. Dennis, who was our, representative on the football rules committee, at tended the annual meeting and l believe it was Walter Camp who asked him pleasantly if 1t would be necessary to insert a new rule to the effect that the ball should not be hidden. Professor Dennis promised we would not again be guilty but season or two later

 Harvard and Princeton have not yet been able to patch up their break of over four years ago, eX- cept in what Prof. c. w. Kennedy regards as "non-combative" sports, but Baylor and the Texas Aggies of the Southwest conference have con- tributed to the policy of harmony by resuming relations again after a five-year lapse.
 The basketball game, booked for February at Waco, is the first meeting in any branch of sport since rival student factions took possession of the gridiron between halves of a football game in 1925 and Waged battle resulting in one death. With good feeling restored, the conference athletic slate again is complete.

NINING MRITER SAYS .. MUCH HONOR IS DUE
 TIE MINE PROMOTER

Misinformed critics with dwarf ed minds are usually the ones who condemn the pioneer as a wildcat ter says the Denver Mining Re- cord The man with experience, who knows something of history and progress along scientific, in- dustrial and mechanical lines, does not have to be told how impossible the future looked for some of our now important discoveries.
 The man who knows of these discoveries its slow to criticize even the most revolutionary idea. There are individuals who take delight in criticizing and ridiculing the oil promoter or the operator of a new mining venture. ##
 They forget that the discoverer of America's great oil industry was "wildcatter" without a pAar- The trail blazers to the mining fields of the West had the big idea and knew what long chances they were taking when they entered the unknown West. Death by the In- dians or starvation faced them on every hand
 But think of the wealth that has come from the Comstock, Tono- 'pah, Cripple Greek. Butte. Arizona. the Couer d'Alenes and thousands of other rich mining camps thru- out the Rocky Mountain region and the Western states. 0
 It takes money to develop new mines, and our hat is off to the individual Who honestly strives to raise money and develop neW some new wealth. It is easy to criticize but difficult to make real progress. So when we hear of a man. who should know better, criticizing the mining promoter, we know he has an axe to grind" for the inter- ests that employ him.
 The half baked critic who be- littles the work of the promoter does SD because he doesn't know He lacks experience. Later in his If he will probably see the error of his way.

District Grand Jury and the
Third Degree

Discussion stirred throughout the nation by the Wickeham
Commissions report third degree practices in police depart
renewed with the developments in this city, in
cudng the entrance of the Department Of Justice and the
District Grand Jury into sweeping Investigations.
Vigorous action in ndictg five policemen and the vigorous
findings Of the Grand Jury will surely further discus
sion Of the subject.
SO far Washington concerned the Grand Jury and
general official attitude will check disposition Of local police
to lawlesness in carrying out the law, but it is quite
evident that most police officials do not share the pubics
Views to how suspects in station houses and as should
be treated although they do not publicly express their true
opinions
Is undenable that high low police officials and de-
tcves throughout the nation believe in third degree methods
"a FORM particularly in dealing with with criminal
records whose first principle keep tightly shut mouths
Many prosecuting officials share the views Of policemen and
detectives in this matter. What supposed to do

Phiadephas director Of public safety declares that
police heads adhered the strict letter Of the law 1.-THE
forces Of law would get first in combating criminal

Another Step Taken Toward
Calendar SimplificatiOn

The international movement for simpfcation Of the
calendar which has under way for several was
given additional momentum recently when preparatory
committee representing IA countries met in Geneva to plan
for the world conference to be held in October.
Four questions will constitute the agenda for the October
gathering as prepared by the committee. They are:
Should the calendar be made perpetual that the week
days shall fall fixed dates?
srable adopt-the 13 months plan, the II months
equalzed plan?
g. Should Easter be fixed or stabilized and date?
4. How soon can q reform be put into effect?
In discussing these four questions has been decided
to omit all religious aspects the being to determine
whether economically and socially the defects Of the present
calendar require to be remedied and how.
Of the IA nations represented in the recent conference
Belgium Brazil Czechoslovaka France, Germany Poland,
Portugal Switzerland Spain and the United States reported
favorable sentiment improved calendar Hungary Italy
and Netherlands opposed and Argentina as yet
decided.
The fact that many business have been working
under the 1Smoh plan for years strong proof that it
satisfactory to those interests Our present ho
day system constant annoyance to the business OF the
nation In this country at least there has been little real
reason advanced against the proposed change.
AS to the breaking Of the sevendayweek continuity the
positively how long the continuity Of the sevenday period has
existed The fact that the day is observed at
different time by different people shows the mpossbty
Of such determination
On the other hand the necessity Of such arbitrary d.
vision of time is not clear.
The world has had many kinds of calendars during the
historic period nothing Of what may have been before
recorded history began Doubtless people in those
took their divisions Of time seriously
today but the rolled adapted and readapted
the calendar to meet their needs and nothing but good
suited
It now appears that the discussion due to get somewhere
in the future At any rOe long forward has just
taken by those advocating simpified method of
marking time.

Buying Time for Consumers
Right at Hand

Big manufacturers and business establishments through the
country genuinely hearened by numerous earmarks that
beginning take advantage Of low prices
The "buy now movement Of year ago being replaced
by voluntary "buy now movement The public is not
going stay in the dumps all the time People getting
unto that state of mind when they feel that the depression
going keep up They believe higher prices not far
away and that NOW is the real time to save money
There is probably much in this thought and in the
facts known to big business than be realized In the
mental operations Of nation there have been amazing periods
when everybody began to think almost alike about the
time and then to alike We to be the verge Of
another Of these periods Of optimism that will sweep
away clouds Of doubt and pessimism
Banks loaded with deposits When begin to
tire Of old things and buy ones turning loose scared
money, the wheels Of industry will begin to more
rapidly. More and will be employed to turn out
commodities business houses will put clerks, and
che good effects will be felt in all directions Once well
started, the machinery of business will shake off all speed

A Bitter Pill for the Poor = By Claude G. Bowers

} willing and eager to work for
just enough to keep body and
soul together, and unable to find
even that kind of a job. The
effect is different on different
men. Some, like the German
referred to in this column the
other day, turn Communist;
others think of suicide. Both
are a dreadful indictment of the
StupiditieS and inhumanitieS of
our economic and social system.
The Permanency Of
Our System at Stake
The permanency OF our syS-
tenn will be determined by the
steps taken by our political,
financial and industrial leaders
to remedy its proven defects.
We have found a silver lining
to the cloud in the fact that
not a few big induStrialists
have frankly faced the facts
and proposed radical changes
for the future in such measures
as unemployment insurance.
Some have gone so far as to
admit that it would have been
infinitely better through the
years, when staggering profits
were being made, to have re-
duced the profits by distribut-
ing a greater share of the
earnings among the employees.
Happily, with an alternative
system being offered the, masses
from Russia, thoughtful men,
among industrialists, who would
preserve our own system, have
been thinking soundly and put
ting aside old prejudices. They
have concluded that the mass
unrest is due in part to the
haunting fear Of unemployment,
and of suffering from poverty
in old age. These are thinking
seriously Of Unemployment IN
surance and old age pensions.
These industrial leaders are the
hope Of the hour.

Many Have Learned
Nothing From Depression
Unhappily, there are others,
who have learned no more from
the depression than the world
learned from the war--which
has Just now reached its most
dangerous stage. These expect
to blunder through somehow
and return to "the good old
days" with nothing changed.
And the National AdminiSJrar
ton and the President must be
included with these. The
strongest Indictment that can
be drawn against the Presidents
leadership" in this crisis is the
lack Of vision.
