LAFAYETTE, Ind :, Jan. 23. = The man to watch this year when Purdue's basketball Boilermakers, co-champions of the Big Ten, take the floor in conference competition is Bob Kessler
 Kessler, a senior, carries 165 pounds on his 6-foot frame and looks as if he might break into pieces when the going gets rough
 But when the starting whistle blows he develops such blinding speed and such deadly eye for the basket that his scoring total nearly always runs into two figures.
 His speed fits in perfectly with Coach Ward Lambert's fast break

he can earn draw by four more points, or win with five. The plan also provides a better system of rating fighters, Gatto explains. A fighter who wins by 20 points could be rated higher than a fighter who won over the same opponent by a single point although the old comparative score bugaboo bobs up again. A football team that wins it's game by six touchdowns is rated better than a team which boasted a touch down margin over the same op- ponent.

It was one of those which gave Purdue a A to 43 victory over the University of California in the clos ing seconds of their intersections game here.
 Although Kessler's speciality is that unorthodox, southpaw one handed shot which he pushes over the head of his opposing guard, he is equally adept with the customary two-handed toss from long range
 Last year he was runner-up in the Big Ten scoring tables with 150 points made with 53 field goals and A free throws, for an average of 12 1-2 points a game
 This year he amassed 84 points in Purdue's first seven non-con- ference games, with 31 field goals and g free throws.
 That Kessler is just as good when the going is tough is shown in Pur- dues first loss of the season, to Butler. Of Purdues 39 points Kes- sler scored 20--and with Buffers fastest man guarding him.
 When the Boilermakers dropped their second game, to New York University, Kessler accounted for IA Purdue points When the Boil ermakers lost to Temple, 42-47, to end one of the most disastrous eastern trips in history for Purdue, Kessler did not play the entire game but while he was in he ac- counted for Il points.
 As sophomore, Kessler was a member of Purdues undisputed Big Ten championship team Last year the team shared the title with Illinois and Wisconsin. And this year he wants to keep his and Purdue's - record clean by making it three titles in a TOW.

ALASKA'S LIQUOR PROBLEM

It is particularly enlightening at this time to get the report of w E Burke, Supervisor for the Alcohol Tax unit of the Internal Revenue Service, who is in the Territory for a check up MT Burke passed through here recently to the Westward and, after considerable of a survey announced yesterday at Seward that the liquor problem in Alaska is less seri ous than in any section of the United States" He added that he found little illicit traffic in liquor in the Territory
 In view of reports emanating from various parts of the Territory from time to time that the liquor situation bad Mir Burke's report is gratifying as well instructive. Further it is a high compliment to the Territorial Liquor Board which has been the butt of considerable criticism, much of it not justified.
 is silly to suggest that there liquor prob lem in Alaska anywhere else just as there are problems with any other business. There is very definitely in the Territory problem to solve in necton with Indian villages in particular. However it is where alarming many would have us believe as MT. Burkes statement bears out.
 There is always a question of what to do with those who not use liquor moderately It has existed since the beginning of time and doubtless always will It is something in Alaska must com bat they do the world It is problem for the Liquor Board of no small proportions.
 But after all as we go along trying tS adjust the situation to still better fill the apparent require ments, it is satisfying to know that stack up a great deal better the liquor traffic than do the States MT Burkes statement is sharp answer to some of those fanciful tales about how many gallons of liquor are consumed in Alaska.

 So to Senater Stewer assigned the tremen- dous task of precuding any comparisons with 1s32 In the judgment of the management ot the Repuol- can party the fact that Senator Steiwer had voted for nine of the thirteen major New Deal measures they assigned him attack; that he had opposed but three and was unrecorded on one-Social Security was a matter of supreme indifference.
