PERIODS TO BE DECIDED
 BY RADIO CLUB
Signal Corps May Suspend Juneau Ketchikan
 Work at Intervals

To consider the proposal of the United States Signal Corps to ad- just its business in the interest of better radio reception here, the Juneau Radio Club will hold a special meeting this evening in the Council Chamber of the City Hall.
 Signal Corps officials declare that when their Juneau and Ketchikan stations are working with each other, they often interfere with the reception of privately owned receiving sets. The officials have offered to suspend Juneau -Ketchi- kan intercommunication for a period or periods every evening for the rest of the winter and desire to know when this period or these periods are wanted by Juneau radio owners.
 For instance, the Signal Corps might consent to silence its Ju- neau- -Ketchikan operatoins for two half -hour periods every evening, and it wishes to learn what half hours would accommodate the most of the local radio owners.
 This is the question to be con- sidered at the Radio Clubs meet ing tonight.

 The games tomorrow night can be decisive of both boy and girl championships In the scheduled series of five possible contests, the winning of three victories is suffi- cient to gain Gastineau Channel hOnOrs
 The Juneau boys have two tri- umphs to their credit and need but one more victory. The Doug las boys have won only once.

 Staged At Weekly Intervals
 The three previous games were staged at weekly intervals with the hesult that in the last encounters, because of fprevious strenuous play there were some "cripples" among both boy and girl athletes. The rest of two weeks, in consequence of the postponement of last Fri days games, has benefited the boy and girl squads of both schools.
 With one exception E. G.. Wentland, coach of the Juneau boys, said today, members of the boys squad are in fine condition. Hiding Haglund turned his ankle in practice the other day, and he will not be recovered from the injury by tomorrow night. He is not likely to play.
