 FIVE BY 4l-17 SCORE


 KErCHIKAN, March 1.-Wran- gell High School may be the bas- ketball champion of the Southern division of the Southeast Alaska Conference, but the Metlakatla Indian prepsters haven't heard of it. Last night, at Metlakatla, the Wrangellites went down to a very convincing and overwhelming A. IF defeat at the hands of the In- dians.
 However, it may be said for the losers that they had just concluded a hard-fought three game series here with Ketchikan for the South ern Division title.
 The self-styled native cham pions of all Southeast Alaska high schools" gave an exhibition of fast, clean ball as they romped to an easy victory. The weary Wran- gellites utilized every available sub stitute. The half-t time count fa- vored Metlakatla, 21 to g.

NO BLACKBOARD USED IN NOVEL
 HOOP CONTEST
Middle West Coach Finds Play Speeded Up and
 Less Fouls Called

MILWAUKEE, March l.-Coacf Guy Penwell of Milwaukee State Teachers College believes he has found means of relieving some Of the headaches that have been bothering basketball recently.
 Penwell reports that, in an ex- Serimental game, he found that elimination of the backboards was long step toward removing the premium on great height, an ele- ment which has been much de- plored in recent years as coaches have beat the brush for super tall men.
 His effort to show that the re- bounds resulting from play with the baskets hung on backboards constituted the greatest source of advantage to the tall fellows-and that their absence would tend to equalize the game-resulted, in ad- dision, in a marked simplification of the sport.
 Relieves Congestion
 In the clinical game the end line of the court was moved back, and for part of the game the center jump was not used.
 Among factors noted as result of these innovations were: a re- lief of congestion under the bas- ket; reduction in the number of personal fouls made on players while shooting; minimum of tie balls and jump balls; and more passing by players and less hap hazard shooting.
 Removal of the backboards did not affect the shooting as much as had been anticipated. One team sank 10 shots out of 49 for an av- craze of 20 per cent, while the other looped 15 out of 61 chances for an average of 24 per cent.
 Another tendency observed was that play was more open because of the extension of the end zones which provided playing space be- hind the basket. Players were pro- vided with more. opportunity to get set for shots and to work the ball out of corners by opening up the defense. A
 Under the experimental rules play was also more constant, with out-of- bounds rulings being called only along the sidelines. A check showed that action was continued in 27 instances where under pres ent rules it would have; been stopped because of out-of-bounds. Tie balls as the result of melees under the basket also were reduc- ed.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, March 1.-Although the Indians have been at the bottom in Pa cific Coast basketball so long that the memory of the oldest grad runneth not to the contrary they don't like the idea and they pro- pose to do something about it no later than next year.
 This season, for a time, it looked as though Coach Johnny Bunn's proteges would-for the first time in modern history-be real con- tenders.
 Next year Bum will have Hank Luisetti As captain of the Frosh he made 80 field baskets and 15 free throws for a total of ITS points in nine games. He is only IS, stands feet 213, weighs 175 and will be eligible for the var sity.

NABESNA MINE
 TECHNICIAN IS
 ENR0UTE HOME
]. E. Hunt Completes h. stallation of New Cyan
 ide Equipment, Returns

J. E. Hunt, technician, who has been engaged in the work of install ing the new cyanide equipment at the Nabesna mine, passed through Juneau on the Alaska, enroute to Seattle.
 During the summer and fall six new flood cells have been added to the mill equipment, according to Hunt, thus replacing the obsolete cells formerly used. The capacity Of the cyanide plant is large enough not only to take care of and treat the daily mill production, but also handles a considerable additional tonnage. This will make it possible, in addition to cyaniding the daily mill concentrate, to put through at the same time the retreatment con- centrates that nave been accumulat- ing each year since the mill started. It is estimated that more than 300 tons of these concentrates are stored for refreshments with an estimated value of s50,000.
 With the mine and plant in opera ton throughout the winter, the pro- auction bids fair to be far in excess of the season just ended.
