boys dropped from the team so far
and for a regulation outfit, there is
still some to go. There was one who
was dropped which was blow to
him, himself, and his friends but
Coach Bing Miller told him that he
would be better in track. This was
Billy (Mule) Peace who was one of
cur best and most efficient football
players. He also started in basket
ball and we wish him luck in track.
The official lineup for today's game
was as follows:
Hobgood, short stop; Edwards, first
base; Brinkley, right field; Jenkins,
left field; Turner, center field; Stew

RECoNDITIoNING CHURCH

During the past week, the Ortho- dox Russian Church has been un- dergoing some needed recondition- ing, under the supervision of Fa- ther Theodo Kulchitzky and Church Warden, Alexis M. Yatch- maneff. Practically new founda- ton has been put under the church edifice, heavy plank walks have been constructed from the church building to the Bishops house, the church yard fence repaired, and before the work is finally complet- ed, it is contemplated to give the church and fence a new coat of paint, and re-shingle a portion of the roof of the church building.
 Father Theodosy Kalchitsky, priest for the Russian Orthodox churches of the Aleutian Islands, came to Un- alaska about six months ago from Manchester, N. H. He has quickly won himself into the hearts of the people of this area through his de- votion to the work of the church and the spiritual well-being of the people here. Many new members have been received into the congre- gation since Father Kalqhitsky's arrival, and his keen understanding of and interest in the young people are supplying a long needed work, the good results of which are all ready quite manifest.
