The Alaskan., 1931-04-24

Delegate Wickersham has re- ceived many letters from all sec- lions of the Interior Alaska ask ing for his assistance in securing improvements in present roads or new projects. The matter has been taken up with Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission, who sends to the Delegate, amonq other information, the follow ing:
 It is believed by this commits sion that the area around Ram part can best be served by the road from Rampant rather than from Hot Springs For this req son it is contemplated that all possible work will be done tn improve this road south fror. Rampant, including the bridge situation over the Big Minook. But these demands on us for the adoption of new projects are far greater than we can comply with within available funds and pre- clude the possibility of adopting the eka-Rampart project at this time.
 For your information I give below a list of the most import ant projects which we now have under way. The allOtments to each have been pared down to the utmost and cannot be re-

duced further without forcing the abandonment of one or more of these projects. The projects referred to are:
 Chistochine -NabeSna. This road project intended to reach the very important mining sec tion around Nabesna which now has no transportation whatso- ever except trail and where there is every prospect of open ing up quartz property which will give year-round employ ment.
 ! Olnes-Livengood. This project has finally been adopted afte1 pressure by local interests tor many years. It is one of inter est to the entire Fairbanks area In addition to opening up the Livengood mining area, it will obviate the present futile ex- penditure on the maintenance ot the Tolovana Tram.
 Iliamna. This short project provides access to the Iliamna Lake-Lake Clark region, cutting If about a thousand miles oc 5ea travel that is necessary foc access to this country from Bris ! iol Bay.
 Dillingham-Snag Point. This $ a short project adopted re- cently after pressure for many years,s supported by the Dele gate, in favor of relief for thi , community.
 Willow Creek-WilloW Station.
 This project connects the Viii
 :ow Creek Mines with the Alas ka Railroad at Willow Station. The importance of it is conceded oY everyone who has investigat- cd it. The entire delegation in tAe present legislature agree that this is probably the most
 important road project for the welfare of the Third Division. It will serve to open up proper tics where year-round employ lment in quartz mines may be expected.
 Tn addition to the foregoing new construction projects it ts desired to improve the Fair Lanks-Circle Highway, especial fly in the section paralleling the iChatanika River where serious interruptions to traffic occurred lest year to such an extent as to deter investment of capital in transportation operations be- l tween Circle and Fairbanks. l H, c.

MIKE EROMANO

Paul Jones, the Texas cowboy,
rides into town Thursday to
wrestle Gentleman" Mike Ro-
mano, Chicago Italian, in the fea'
ture match of Promoter Joe
Turner's show that night at the
Washington Auditorium.
The Texans lasso is a hook
scissors, applied by leaping on
the shoulders of the opponent
and winding his spindly legs
around his rivals torso. This
maneuver ends in disaster for the
opponent.
Someone dubbed Romano as
Gentleman" Mike but the Italian
seldom lives up to his beknighted
title. Perhaps, he never heard of
Sir Arthur and his Round Table
or probably wrestlers are not to
believe such fairy stories?

By GARRETT WATERS

By GARRETT WATERS
On the dope. or on paper, the
o oltlook for basketball at Emerson
Prep this year, is far from prom
ising. Quite discouraging in view
Of the fact that it will mark the
second straight season that the
floor game at the P Street insti-
tuition has not been successful.
Last year most disastrous cam
paign was experienced.
Only one hold-over is left from
the 1930-31 combination. He Is
Alton Rabbit, lanky guard. With
Rabbit as the only experienced

Coach Sanborn expects seven or
eight more players besides this

Basketball at Emerson has not

the reason for the small squad

A schedule of Is games will

Three contests are on tap this

The first of these is with Busi-
ness today in a game scheduled

ACES
. WILL BOWL
ORIOLES
BY GINO SINH

"A TACdN W LICdu uuCkDlIl IkldDCIl
between Ollie Pacini, Dixie Sweep
stakes champion and Temple ace,
and Ray Barnes, slender Balti-
more ace, has been sizzling on the
griddle since Ollie's recent win.
Final arrangements we're made
last night, and the first block of
the match will be rolled at the
Tivoli alleys in Baltimore Satur.
day afternoon December 10 at
2:30. The concluding five games
will be rolled at Temple, Saturday,
December 26.
At the same time, Pacini will
team up with Red" Megaw, his
District League captain, and to-
gether they will oppose Barnes
and his sidekick, Wesley Askew,
in q doubles match which will be
freighted with as much interest
as the singles fracas.
Rubber Match
The Pacini-Barnes clash will be
a rubber affair. Pacini beat
Barnes out of the rich Dixie
Sweepstakes first prize two weeks
ago, thus evening up the score
for Barnes Snatching the national
all-event crown off Ollie's head IN
the N. D. B. c. tournament last
March.
Ollie didn't make any secret Of
the fact that he was anxious to
tangle up with the flashy Balti-
morean in an important event
after the Baltimorean'S ND: B. c.
victory, and the Dixie Sweepstakes
provided an ideal opportunity.
While the curly-locked Italian
was anxious to win a major Title,
he had the added incentive OF
wanting to beat Barnes in that
test. That he accomplished botn
purposes is now history.
It has been evident since that
both principals we're itching to go
at each other without side distrac'
tionS.
Make Debut as Doubles
Pacini and Megaw will be max
ing their debut as a doubles COM
bination, whereas the AskeW-
Barnes duo has an already eS-
tablished reputation, having,
among other things, taken the
measure of Jack Whalen ana
Brad Mandley last year, when the
two District shooters were touteo
as the cream of the country's
doubles crop. .o
Both Megaw and Pacini have
had plenty of doubles experience;
particularly Megaw, who several
years ago was deemed the peer o1
doubles rollers. .
In the meantime, the two
washington maple spillers Will pe
printing themselves for the maVcaes
as their Northeast Temple, DIS
trict League leaders, tackle Henry
Hiser's hard-fighting Hyattsvh-
lians in the latter's den tomorrow:
A victory for Hyattsville Will
bring Temple down to within
striking distance of its jubllant
foes.
Hyattsville Tough
'Hyattsville is plenty tough
on it's own alleys" Megaw said,
''but we'll be in there shooting.
The Temple red-haired ace is
worried over the trouble his Tenn
pie team in the National Capital
League, is having to hold its own.
"We've got the second highest
average in the league" Red
grOwIs, "and we are in the
second division. The poorer
teams shoot their best scores
against u.s."
Magruders, Georgetown Recrea-
tion cellarites de luxe, will be
striving to score their second win
of the season tonight when they
face Foxall A. C. at Georgetown
Recreation. Out of q games the
MagruderS have only won one,
but every time they bowl they
have eight and nine bowlers on
hand all anxious to get in the
fray. You can't beat that for
spirit. Z
