DOUGLAS FIvE; FIREMEN TEAM
 MEET TONIGHT
DeMolays and Crimson Bears Promise Action
 in Hoop Encounter

Three squads which all won their opening court battles, show in the City League basketball games at the High School gym this evening The high spot of the double game program brings together the Doug las Eagles and the Juneau Bremen at 7..30, followed at 8:30 by ar exhibition game in which the Juneau High School team, substi- tuting for the Tallapoosa, encount- CTS the DeMolays, last seasons champs.
 The Douglas hoopsters hold a victory over the H. s. Graves team and from the performance they put on in winning their opening tussle deserve to be ranked a very narrow favorite over the Bremen who while they have not as yet participated in a league game, scor- ed a win over the Juneau High squad last Friday evening.
 An old court feud will be resumed in the Douglas-F Bremen tilt, when Claude Erskine, Island ace, once again runs up against Doc Holl- mann, the trickster of the smoke eaters. For several seasons Holl- mann has rated right up there among the leagues forwards, while Erskine has occupied similar posi- tion among the guards and when ever the two face off against each other, it's a big night for the fans. That neither has slipped was dem- onstrated in the two outfits open ing fracases, when Hollmann lead the Bremen attack against the High School and Erskine hung up the high scoring mark of the sea- son, to date, against the Graves men.
 From previous showings, the Eagles would appear to have a little faster attack than the Fire men, but the latter have an edge in experience and are a bit more accurate in their shooting. Both squads have plenty of height and use their range effectively.
 It is likely that there are no two teams in the league more evenly matched. and with a clear record depending on the outcome for each team, a real dog-fight is on tap.
 Although not counting in the standings, the second game brings together probably the two fastest squads on the Channel, both em- ploying fast breaking. short pass ing attack, that cannot help but keep the ball moving and provide plenty of action.

 ELKS' BOWLING TOURNEY MARKS
Hangs Up Best Records in Several Seasons Tn
 Last Evenings Tilt

Fred Henning, running hog-wild, at the Elks Alleys last evening, not only smashed all the season rec ords, but laid their ghosts and went on after bigger game, making the all-tima alley records slink around corners and up darker all leys.
 It was down on the Lahigh Alley, in the nightcap mix with old Cor nell. And the CTS that Henning cut loose with. spelled defeat for old Cornell. Henning started off the match with a nice conservative 225 game, then with the big push ahead, rested in the second bout for a 193, before going out for big game in the last game. It was big game that he bagged, a 257, the high in- dividual game of the season, topping Rod Darnell's old record of 243. Nile Henning's match total of CTS, is not only new season mark, but is the highest in several seasons and the seccnd highest in Elks Alley his- tory.
 Some nice scoring in the first two matches paved the way for Jennings grand climax. w. s. Pull len opened the evening by getting the second high score of the even- ing, a SIT. including a 211 single game, as his Rutgers team came out with a one-game advtange over the Boston U. trio.
 The second match on the program saw R. H. Stevenson, and Jim Barragar Jr pacing the two teams With Stevenson having an edge on Barragar, even though Barragar's Lafayette squad took the odd game of the match, to come out on top. Stevenson's match total of 567 in- cluded a game of 213, while Barra- gar rolled 210 game. Mrs. Harry Sperling of the Boston squad bowled three nice games in the second match for 495 total.

By Pup

Ted Carpenter co!aplaills that
 Ray (Buzz) Buivid captain of the
 Marquette football team, is not get i ting his due in the way of national
 recognition. Carpenter writes:
 "Buivid is really the greatest of
 them all (especially when it comes
 to passing, but Marquette is in
 tough spot geographically to get
 him across. Not being in any con
 ference we usually have to bow
 first to all members of the Big Ten
 (no matter how bad some of their teams may be- and to Notre Dame when it comes to getting space in
 the newspapers. But am confident that you will be hearing plenty of
 Buivid before the season is over The Marquette publicity offices
 have natural in the husky ath-
 lete, but not quite the headline sensation they visioned when Ray broke loose as a sophomore and announced he was "a Macedonian, a descendant of Alexander the
 Great, and my father is mis- sionary to Siam" It seems that
 this small-town boy, sorely beset lby interviwers who confused him, took the advice of a jocular friend and concocted that fantastic story about his background. As a matter of fact, Buivid is Lithuanian and his father is a tavern keeper
 in the little fishing town of Port Washington, 28 miles north of Mil waukee on Lake Michigan.
 Buivid's coach, Frank Murray, now in his fifteenth year at Mar quette, wouldn't trade him for any other varsity back now in the
 game. Buivid might well be the answer to any coach's prayer for the ideal halfback. Twenty -one years old, six feet tall and weighing l90 pounds, he is exceptionally fast and shifty; vicious blocker, a
 hard tackler, great runner and pace changer and, above all, a sen-
 sational passer.
 Passes Float Through the Air They claim he can clip a silk hat
 with football at any distance
 from six paces to 60 yards, while
 he has acquired the knack of
 passing coolly, when fading back
 with the opposition in pursuit. He throws a floating ball that is easy l to catch-not a bullet pass that 1 all but tears the arms off a re- ceiver. Last fall he tossed 13 touch
 down aerials into enemy end zones. ] On three occasions Ray scampered over the goal line for scores him. self.
 The Buzzsaw might well be one of Marquette's few 9-lettermen. A star in football, he is eqally good in basketball and track, but he passed up the cage sport in the interest of his gun and hound-dog. One of the reasons he enrolled at Marquette was that the location of the school permitted him, to return home over week-ends to engage in his favorite pursuit, hunting peas-
 ants. Even so, he is assured sis

U. S. Court of Appeals Rules
Against California Rep
reSentative and Son.

The United States Court of Appeals
today denied motion for a rehearing
of the recent appeal of Representative
John H. Hoeppel of California and
his son, Charles ]. Hoeppel, who were
convicted by District Supreme Court
jury of conspiracy to solicit 81 900
for West Point appointment.
Several weeks ago the appellate
tribunal affirmed the conviction of
the father and son, who at present are
at liberty under bail while the elder
Hoeppel is conducting campaign for
reelection to the House
In his motion for a rehearing of his
appeal, Representative Hoeppel con-
tended presence on the trial jury Of
persons whose interests were identified
with those of the Government voided
his conviction.
He argued that several of the jurors
were ineligible because they worked
for firms doing business with the
Government, held soldier bonus Ger
tificates or did business with Army
officers.
In answer, Chief Assistant United
States Attorney David A Pine said the
connection with the Government was
too remote to be a bar to the service
of the jurors, and that, in any case,
Hoeppel did not raise the question
during his trial and therefore was
stopped from doing so at this time.
Both Hoeppel and his son are under
sentence of from four months to a
year in prison.
They are alleged to have solicited
81 900 from James w. Ives, all
American Johns Hopkins University
lacrosse player. who was seeking ap-
pointment to the United States Mill
