POPPIES WILL
 BE BLOOMING
 ON SATURDAY
Annual Sale Will Take Place-R Rainbow Girls
 Will Assist

Topples will bloom throughout Juneau Saturday with the same pro- fusion that they bloomed among the shell holes, barbed wire and wooden crosses along the battle front in France. Preparations for the annual poppy sale of the Am erican Legion Auxiliary, during which the Auxiliary hopes to place a memorial poppy on the coat of every man, woman and child in the city, are now complete, Mrs. Monagle, Chairman of the Auxil- iary's Poppy Committee, has an- nounced.
 The Rainbow Girls have volun- teered to assist in the sale and distribution of the peoples Saturday. Also, many members of the Auxil- lary, with their baskets of peoples md money banks will be on the Btreets offering to each passer-by a poppy The poppies, each bear ing a distinctive label showing 1t to be the veteran-made product of the Legion and Auxiliary, have been received from the Walla Walla, Washington, Veteran Hospital where they were made by needy disabled veterans. The little red flowers are being arranged in baskets ready for the workers to take out Saturday morning and the coin boxes into which poppy purchasers will drop their contributions for the welfare of the disabled and dependents are being made ready.
 There is tradition in France, Mrs. Monagle said, that on the battlefields where the men fell most thickly the peoples bloom in greatest profusion A symbolic con- nection is seen between the blood red blooms of the poppy and the blood of the heroic dead Here in America we believe that where true patriots dwell most thickly the memorial poppies are worn in greatest numbers on Poppy Day, and we hope that nowhere in the country this year will these bright symbols of remembrance be seen in greater profusion than in Juneau"

took it over for the score.

MAURICE NEE
RATED BEST
GR|DDER
BY SID KATZNELL

In the opinion of local prep
school coaches Maurice Nee,
Georgetown Prep brilliant left
end, is the best football player
in prep school circles.
However, he has close rival
in Jack Sweeney, Gonzaga'S
scintillating half-back.
Georgetown Prep, Dewitt and
Gonzaga were honored with three
players each on The Times all
prep school eleven, the consensus
aggregation of six prep school
coaches. National Training School
and st. Johns polled one each.
Nee was an unanimous choice
by the coaches. Here's what
Dick Turner, coach of Dewitt
Prep and former Virginia Univer-
sity star gridder says about him:
Turner Lauds Nee
Nee is my choice for left
end because he can use his
hands, feet and head .intelli-
gently. He's also fast enough
to run by defensive backs to
catch passes. He is alert on
both defense and Offense."
incidentally. Nee is a capable
golfer. He holds the interpret
golf championship.
Jack Dunn, coach of st. Johns
outfit, pays great tribute to Jack
Sweeney. He says:
Sweeney is just about the
greatest broken field runner
in scholastic circles. If he gets
by the line it's just too bad,
because that boy can run like
a deer. The little Irishman is
also a nice passer. He'll make
a fine college back"
Coaches Praise Players
According to coaches, the rest
of the players selected on the
mythical all-prep school team also
deserve much credit for their fine
playing the past season. Cum
mings, of Georgetown Prep; Stan
ley, of st. Johns; Quigley, of Con
zaga; Mather, of Dewitt; Carr, of
Gonzaga; Merryman, of National
Training School; Via, of Dewitt.
and Mcnamara. of Georgetown,
who were selected on the first
eleven are the players the mentors
are referring to.
The Times 1892 All-prep school
team was picked by the following
coaches: joey Gardner, of George
town, Ed Crandall, Of National
Training School; H. P. Sanborn,
Emerson; Orrel Mitchell, of Con
zaga; Jack Dunn, of st. Johns,
and Robertson Middleton, of st.

A Chinaman's Chance

And we are not so lamenting
for the sake of an alibi for Navy
nor yet to detract from the
glory of Army's victories, but to
emphasize that Navy rushes
into this game each year, with
out a Chinaman's chance, and
we don't mean Chung-Hoon.
In truth about the only
chance Navy had this past
Saturday was this young Chi
nese-Hawaiian, with his funny
little duck-waddle, his accurate
punting toe and his splendid
passes which SO often failed to
have a receiver beneath them.
And against him and his ten
other courageous mates, was
the likes of Texas Jack Buckler,
the crippled" Dick King and
Pick Vidal, Capt. Milton Sum-
merfelt and strong John Arms
strong, the two latter charging
and blocking and tackling and
otherwise making big holes for
the ball toterS.
And of these, Buckley spread
eagled over the entire lot, being
everywhere all afternoon doing
exactly the right thing which
had nightly stimulating in
fluence on his fellows afield.
Two other players should be
mentioned and would we be too
facetiouS if we said Berries was
the berries for Navy and Nc
William the Mccoy for Army,
or instead should we be shot at
sunrise?

Take It and Like It

The least that can be said is
that the Navy. in the case of
the Army meetings, is a glutton
for punishment. They take it
and seem to like it, and therein
Is cause for much admiration.
There are a lot of football fans
alive today who can't remem-
ber when Navy beat Army.
Many will never live to see the
day it does.
All of which is not by way of
bringing up the old bone of
contention which has often
-stalked the Army-Navy meet
1ngs and in fact which not so
long ago was responsible for
their breaking off football re-
lations. excepting on a charity
basis, but which is by way Of
reminding you that Navy lost.
20 to 0, and to inquire how it
ever expects to do otherwise,
what with the disadvantage in
age, weight and power under
which she labors in her Army
struggles.
We mean there ought to be
a law, or something should be
done about this annual service
struggle to make it little more
equal. Some may hold that a.
couple of years difference
between the entrance ages
shouldn't cut such a wide
swath, but it does, has, and will
so continue to.
: At the growing years during
which our young men are join
ing the Military and Naval
Academies, two years make
such a great difference in STAN
ina, power and metal ability to
master and retain football tech
nique, that it is a fact Navy
hasn't beaten Army since 1921.

Irish Westward

Hurt Travel

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Dec. S
Cripples included, Notre Danes
rambling football horde rambles
westward today, bound for Los
Angeles and the annual Titanic"
with Howard Jones Southern Cal
ifornia Trojans Saturday.
In naming 35 players for the
journey Coach Hunk Anderson
followed his own recently estab-
liShed precedent by ordering the
injured and ailing members of the
squad to accompany their
stronger comrades. 1t will be re-
membered that Hunk adopted the
same procedure on the occasion
of the teams departure for New
York where the Irish cripples
managed to hand the Army a
sound drubbing.
Banas, Robinson, Travel
Both Steve Banas, injured full
back, and Jack Robinson, flu
stricken center, were in the ranks
of the departing ramblers, but
their participation in the game
was matter of doubt. Banas'
injuries were still a matter of Sc
rious concern, having prevented
him from taking part in scrim-
mage. Robinson left the univer-
sity hospital yesterday after a
four-day spell of influenza.
MelinkOvich To Play
George Melinkovich. who shares
fullback duties with BanaS, was
also one of the injured, but it
vas said he will be able to play
at least part Of the Trojan game.
Jim Leonard of the third team
and John Red" Tobin, reserve
halfback, have been groomed to
take over the BanaS-Melinkovich
fullback assignment.

pected to be in shape for the

OPPOSES BIC
SALARY GUT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 5.-A
pugnacious customer from out
| West was storming on the door
step, ready to lead an insured
ton against proposed salary re-
strictions, when the National AS.
sociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues assembled today to at
tempt drastic reconstruction of
the minors.
The Pacific Coast League served
notice on delegates, arriving for
the annual minor league pow-wow,
that it will rebel against the lead
ing plank of the associations re-
trenchment program-a proposal
to limit all class AA clubs to a
$6,500 a month payroll.
William Klepper, president of
the Seattle club. emphasized the
leagues determination by an
nouncing that it will decline an
invitation to join the American
Association and In e r n tional
League in a conference on that
subject.
Player Limit Suggested
Hopeful of pulling baseball out
of the red, a committee of five
has submitted report proposing
strict salary and player limits,
and urging creation of new
leagues to build new interest in
the game. The Pacific Coast
League alone has raised a protest
ing voice.
Even if the majority adopt
the rule" declared Klepper,
"they can't force our league to
obey it. Salaries are our own
business. We think baseball
is a show, and that cuts such
as are asked, in some places
as high as so per cent, would
be harmful to the game"
Aroused by Denver's victorious
fight to retain it's franchise in
the Western League, the Tulsa
and Oklahoma City b seb a II
teams today considered the wis
dom of boiling to join the Texas
League.
The possibility of eventually
helping form a new western
Association was also studied by
club representatives here for the
convention of the National AS
sociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues.
Anfenger Balks Bolt
Milt Anfenger, president of the
Denver club, won a complete vic
tory when he was asked yester-
day to move his franchise and
the franchise of Pueblo to cities
farther East. He declared:
"I'u see the league diSband
first and if the league dis
bands, and then reOrganizeS
without me, I'll 60 to court"
Tulsa and Oklahoma City, who
had pressed the request, with
drew the proposal, but were not
satisfied with the outcome.
President Dale Gear said he
felt certain the league member
ship will remain unchanged for
the coming season. Tulsa and
Oklahoma City representatives
he said, plan to confer with
Texas league officials about
entering their league, but have
no hopes joining at once.

Thomas jefferson Hickey, who
founded the American AsSocia'
ton and has served as its pres
ident for a total of 20 years, has
been reelected for another one
