SPORT SLANTS

A few years ago George Kojac held B swimming records and an Olympic title. The latter, the 100- meter backstroke championship, he won at Amsterdam in 1928.
 Today, as Dr. George Kojac, he is starting all over again Right now swimming is merely means of gaining little relaxation and ex- ercise. But later on, if he finds the lay-off has not robbed him of tco much of his old-time speed he may buckle down to siege of se- rious training in hopes of winning berth on the team which will re- present the United States in the swimming events at Berlin this sum- mer.
 Medical Studies First Kojac passed up the 1892 Olympic games when he found that his medi- cal studies left him little or no time for preparation. It was difficult for him to sit by and not defend the championship he won at the pre- vious Olympic meeting, especially so in view of the fact that four years ago he must have been at his peak, physically and in swimming form. But he had set his heart on an MD. degree and nothing that he could prevent would interfere He has gained that goal now, and so there is nothing to prevent his returning to his first love, swimming.
 Kojac learned to swim as a tiny youngster in the murky waters of the East River in New York City. At r he created sensation when he beat Johnny Weissrnuller's 150- yard backstroke mark. As student at Rutgers he broke flock of col legiate marks. And in 1928, at Am sterdam, he set the Olympic record for the 100-meters backstroke which still stands.
 If Kojac does manage to regain his old form, Uncle Sam will be well blessed with plenty of backstroke talent at Berlin, for the veteran Kojac, with Adolph Kiefer of Chi cago, and Albert Van de Weghe of Newark, would form a well-nigh unbeatable trio who ought to come mighty close to taking all three places in the dorsal swimming event.
 Kiefer Holds Records
 Kiefer, today, is the sensation Kojac was some eight or nine years ago. This son of a German army officer was taught to swim free style by his father. He became a back stroke swimmer when his team at Roosevelt high, Chicago, needed a l man for that event. Under the guiding hand of Stanley Braunin- ger at the Lake Shore Athletic club he has developed into the out standing backstrokke swimmer in the world
 Two years ago as a 15-year- old youngster he finished third in his first national 100-meter champion ship event. He showed that nerv- ousness and inexperience cost him first place by coming back in the medley and swimming his leg one second faster than the time made by the winner of the individual race.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-03-14

He has not been beaten since in his specially. and has broken just about every record on the books from 50 yards to 1,500 meters.
 Last fall he toured Europe and engaged in 32 winning. races. He took the measure of Hans Schwartz champion of Germany, l5 times.
 If Kiefer, Van de Weghe and Ko- jas should finish one-two- three in the backstroke at Berlin it would atone for the clean sweep the Jap anese swimmers accomplished at Los Angeles in humiliating our swimmers.

 LARGE, SILVER
 MINE AT MAYO
Livingston Verne cke Ar rives Here by Plane
 Is Enroute South

Livingston Wernecke, g e n CT Manager of the Treadwell Yukon Mining Company, and Consulting Geologist, Alaska Juneau Gold Min ing Company, arrived in Juneau from the company's mine at Mayo, Yukon Territory, late yesterday af- ternoon, on the company's Bellanca seaplane, with Charles Gropstis as pilot.
 MT. Wernecke plans to leave for his San Francisco headquarters to- morrow by plane, weather permit ting. The present plan is to fly by way of the Taku and Prince George, then to Seattle and San Francisco.
 4,40OTons Produced
 The mine at Mayo between the first of June and the first of Oc- tober produced 4400 tons of ore running 300 ounces of silver to the ton, or approximately 1,320,000 ounc-, of silver, and hauled it to the river. Because of lack of river transpor- tation on the Yukon due to the loss of two White Pass and Yukon River steamers, only about one-half of the tonnage can be shipped out this year.
 MT. Wernecke estimates that dur ing the winter about 10000 more tons will be ready, making around 12,000 tons, including that not shipped this year, ready for ship. ment next summer. as
 The weather is getting cold in the Mayo area, MT Wernecke reports, and unusually heavy snow for this time of year is around Mayo Loke.

MOUTH CANCER
 AID IS SHOW N

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 9.-A new technique for treating cancer of the mouth with radium 'molds which clamp on like false teeth has been demonstrated by Dr. Max Cut Ter, head of the tumor clinic of Michael Reese Hospital
 The molds, Dr. Cutler told ITS cancer specialists gathered for post graduate course sponsored by the clinic, have been used experi- mentally at Michael Reese for five years, having been developed to treat the "cornerS" of the mouth, the roof, the floor and the gums.
 Use of the molds, he said. is one factor upholding his declaration that cancer of the mouth lis 100 per cent curable." Its causes, eX- cluding the moot question of hered- ity, are known, it's prevention is known. and it's cure, he said, is a demonstrated fact.

EXPERTS PLAN DEATH TO RATS
 ON WAKE ISLE

HONOLULU, H. l., Oct 9.-If the Navy Department grants permis- sion, there will be great slaugh- ter of rats on tiny Wake Island, where one of the Pan American Airways bases is located. The work will be done by representatives of the United States Biological Sur vey here. sa m
 Every problem faced in inaugu- rating transPacific air service mas been met and solved by the airline with one exception-the hordes of rats which overrun the trio of tiny coal islands known as Wake. Now faced with the necessity of exter- minating the rodents before start ing passenger service, the line has appealed to the Federal authori- ties.
 Unfortunately the plan is not simple Wake is under the juris- diction of the Navy and is also a Federal bird reservation. If the rats are poisoned and eaten by the birds the birdlife would also be killed off.
 H. G. Hansen and Henry K. Spen- cer of the Biological Survey have submitted noyal plan. During certain periods of the year all of the birds with the exception of the Rails leave for distant parts. By placing the Rails, which are unable to fly more than a. root or two, in corral, they will be prevented from eating any of the poison Ny the time the other birds return the is, land will be free of rodents.
 If the Navy Department fails to approve this plan, large barrels may be distributed about the island with bait at the bottom, said MT. Hansen, who reported that during three nights he spent. on Wake, 1000 rats were caught in such traps.

TALLY REPORTS FISHING BOAT IS
 STILL MISSING
Griffson Reached High and Dry on Horsesh oe
 Island Reef

Called out to search for the Alas i ka Coast Fisheries packer boat 31- B-969, of Juneau, with Capt. Jim- my Young and a fourteen-yea old boy companion aboard, which is re- ported two days overdue on a fish buying trip, the U.S.C.G. Tallapoosa i left here yesterday morning at g o'clock and returned last evening at 7:45 o'clock without having been able to locate the missing Indian craft.
 All coves and ports in the vicinity l of Shelter Island, where the boat was supposed to have gone, were visited and many small boats were stopped for questioning; but no in formation was obtained, other than that the boat and it's crew had not been seen later than three days ago. It was conjectured that the missing boat may possibly have been way. laid because of money aboard her for the purchase of fish, but no authority for the rumors were found. The search was carried out as far as Tee Harbor, but there was no trace of the craft. Billy Hansen, Indian, made the trip on board the Tallapoosa to aid in the search.
 The missing B-31 060 is twenty eight foot, troller style gasboat.
 Tender Grittson Located
 The old decommissioned vessel Griffson, which has been moored as a tender alongside the wreck of the Islander, and which broke loose in the high tides and winds Tuesday, and was reported drift ing toward Admiralty Island, was located high on a reef at Horse Is- land early Wednesday morning. The Tallapoosa was called out to the aid of the old vessel late Tues day and arrived at the scene about eight o'clock Wednesday morning. The tug Roedda had located the vessel and was standing by, await ing the arrival of the Coast Guard ship.
 On the high forenoon tide, the Roedda put a running line aboard the stranded tender, and the two men aboard the Griffson, Peterson and Paine, made fast a steel cable from the tender. The Tallapoosa then pulled on the cable until it parted, without being able to move the 267 foot vessel from her rest ing place.
 The Tallapoosa then anchored off until the next flood tide at 5.3( in the afternoon, when a ten-incl hawser from the cutter was put aboard the Griffson.
 The cutter then pulled and jump ed on that line until it parted, with out avail The tide had by that time begun to ebb and as succeed ing flood tides would be lesser thar that on which the vessel had gont aground and the vessel would bt in no danger, the Tallapoosa re- turned to Juneau, arriving here a i9 o'clock Wednesday evening.
 The Griffson was reported un damaged not leaking, and her loae of salvage from the Islander safe No further attempt to refloat tn, old craft will be made until tida conditions for the task are better Neither of the men aboard the ten der were in danger Peterson re turned to Juneau aboard the Talla poosa for supplies, Paine remaining
