 Just A Show!
 If the boys are smart enough to look ahead bit they cannot help but see what this is going to do to their very pleasant source of income. Golf tournaments are cer- tain to become nothing more than exhibitions and as much as the paying public wants to see highly advertised stars in action, they do not care for the very sound of the word exhibition. It's competi- ton they want.
 The present trend can lead them into the condition which now ex- ists in pro tennis. Pro tennis play CTS tour the country, teamlng up night after night in what amounts to nothing more than exhibitions, with the result that their act be- comes tiresome after one swing around the circuit and new names must be added to stimulate inter est. Such scheme of things may make profits for a limited time but eventually will kill the goose which lays the golden eggs.

 NEW YORK, Jan. g. United States track and field athletics in 1884 had one of the greatest years in the history of sport, setting 15 world records, twice as many na- tional marks and breaking meet records nearly every time they donned spiked shoes.
 Starting with the big indoor fix lures in New York in February, Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bon thron, Jack Torrance, Ben East man and the rest fought it out among themselves for several months, and then ganged on Eu- rope, Asia and the Scandinavian countries for foreign laurels.
 The fifteen world records fell to Torrance in the shot put, one hand and both hands, Cunning ham in the mile, Bonthron in the 150O meters, Eastman in the 500 and 800 meters and A, 600 and 880 yard distances. Ralph Metcalfe in the 100 and 200 meters, Norman

HUSKIES TURN
 ON IDAHO FIVE
 FOR 3O-24 WIN

SEATTLE, Jan. g. Reversing Monday nights stunning defeat, a grimly determined University of Washington basketball team scored its first Northern Division Pacific Coast Conference victory here last night, humbling the Idaho Van dals, 30 to 24.
 Monday, the visiting Vandals made local hoop history by nos ing out Coach Hec Edmundson's men. 37 to 36. But last night was different story.
 However, for the first half, the story wasn't so different. The Huskies left the floor at the resting period, leading l4-11 and holding the same three point advantage they had held in the Conference opener on Monday. Play during this session was nip and tuck and had large crowd of fans on edge.
 But Coach Rich Fox's men couldn't stand the determined drive of the Seattle five in the second half, so lost.
 For the winners, tall Ralph Bish- ID who is finding himself in great 'tyle this season, and Clyde Wag- her, veteran center, starred with nine points. Wally Geraghty, one f the many Idaho letter. winners, also claimed that total.

 The series started in the N. Y. A. c. indoor games where Bonthron won the mile by a stride. Cunning ham came back a few days later to nip the Princetonian in the National championship 1900 meter run, the finish being so close both were caught in the record time of 3:52.3.
 They next met in the invitation games at Princeton in June and here Cunningham won decisively in the world record time of 4:067, the mark which was accepted by the International Federation.
 With the latter defeat as a spur, Bonthron flew west to whip Cunningham, by six yards in the National Collegiate mile in time If 4.08.9 and a week later at Milwaukee in the National A. A. U. Championships made one of he most thrilling stretch sprints in athletic history to beat Cum ningham at the tape and drive the universal 1900 meter mark down to 3:48.8.

In professional golf, it seems that money is the root of the lat est evil. Money matters have com manded almost as much space in the news as the actual golf com petition.
 The way the pros have been juggling the matter of prize money and its distribution is in no way going to help to build up or make rich golf tournaments more popu- lar. On the contrary, instead of promising real competition among the best pro golfers there is a tendency to make these meeting mere exhibitions.
 Witness the way the pros have established their monetary policy. A few years ago Gene .Sarazen and Johnny Farrell agreed to poo their winnings for a certain period, dividing the profits. That was the beginning.
 The little band of American pro stars who invaded Australia last fall decided to share the winninSS The result was that when Leo Diegel won the rich Melbourne Sentenary pro-champ n ship he pocketed only the same share he would have had he finished well down the list, provided, of course one of his group won the event
 It may be the accepted practice among pro golfers but it seems hardly the proper basis for com oetitive sports. To the victor be- longs the spells and any arrange l'ment that might cast even the slightest doubt on hte possibility of any entrant not trying his utmost to win is not a healthy one. Each and every man should be in there doing his best without the slightest hint of agreements.

The donor of the rich prize chose tt add an extra $2,500 to the origina $10,000 offered in the past anc to split the field into two divis.

 ! It seemed like a good enough plan and promised double interes in the tournament. The Bombers as the first division was named did not take kindly to this ar. rangement. And particularly die they question the way the prize. in their own group were to bt divided. It was one thing for some one to put up the money-that wa! a grand idea, but when that party took the liberty of trying to say how the money was to be hand. ed out-that was something elst again. It was a bit more than tht club swingers could countenance So they called a meeting ant sealed the prizes to their own lk ing.

NEW FACES TO
 FEATURE HOOP
 PLAY THIS HALF
Five of Seven Teams in Loop Plan Bolster
 ing Additions

There will be many a new face among players in the second half of the Juneau City Basketball League, scheduled to start play Friday night on the High School floor.
 That is, the faces-most of them won't be exactly new to Ju- neau fans; but they will be new" in the sense that the added play CTS did not play during the first half
 And the cause of all this? Sim pie: to strengthen teams.
 No less than five of the seven clubs have added new players, a survey showed today. Only the George Brothers lineup, which won the first half championship, and the High School quintet, which can't very well step out and add talent, will remain pat with first half rosters.
 The other five are out to win that second half title. And that de- sire, of course, can have but one result: a much more evenly con- tested race.
 Briefly, some of the reported and rumored additions follow:
 DcMolay-Addition of Harry Brandt, former star with the AL aska College and School of Mines team. The leading scorer for that team, which showed it's prowess to Juneau fans a year ago in several exhibitions here, Brandt strength ems the DeMolays who are already title threat.
 Krause COncreters- Signing of Dave Turner. Turner, who ranges around six feet in height, is suit able replacement for Bill Culver. Paul Brown, stellar forward, will move over to Culver's center slot, and it is expected that Turner will fill in at forward. Bill Nikish, Ju- neau High graduate and frosh numeral winner at Stanford Univer- sity, also will play for Krause.
 Moose-A weak team in the first half, the Moose may be dan gerous in the following play with the addition of Wayne Yarrow, Haines boy.
 Douglas Firemen-Angus Guerin, once a hoop favorite on the Chan nel, is slated to try a comeback. at center for the Douglas club this half Guerin worked little on one of the last games played in the first half, and, although short on condition, may be boost to the Islanders.
 Juneau Firemen-Noted as the only team to beat the winning George Brothers outfit, the Ju- neau Bremen will be all the more feared with the addition of Ab- bic Garn, who starred for them last year.
 Second half play starts Friday night when the DeMolays face the Krause Concreters in the second game of a doubleheader. The first game will find Juneau and Doug las Higs; School quintets renew ing their Gastineau Channel cham pionship series at o'clock.

AIRCRATF ADVISOR ROTARIANS' GUEST

Charles r. Chatfield, chairman of the technical advisory commit tee of the United States Aircraft Corporation, spoke on the aircraft industry at the meeting of the Ro- tary club at the Elton today. NIT Chatfield Is the son of the late William r. Chatfeld, who was head of a large, contracting firm in this city.
 The industry, MT Chatfield said, attracts publicity far out of propor- ton to its size. An order for 100 planes, which would be considered email by an automobile company is cause for rejoicing among air. craft manufacturers. The total number employed in manufacture of the planes in the United States is smaller than the total number employed in Waterbury industries, according to MT Chatfield.
