Before a packed house, teeming with excitement, the Petersburg high school five eked out 38-36 victory from the Juneau High Crimson Bears in an overtime bas- ketball game here last night in the High School Gym.
 Grabbing the lead in the first quarter 8-4 and keeping the four point margin to the half l8-l4, 1t locked as though Petersburg was going to take the game with little effort. But the Bears changed the whole complexion of the game in a few short minutes of the third per- iod. Roy Smith broke loose with a volley of shots, three field goals in row and put the Bears ahead 22-19. Clamoring students led the Bears on and amid a ceaseless din they boomed through to a seven- point lead, 30-23 at the end of the three-quarter mark. During the scramble Roy Smitli pulled a finger out of joint. but determined to stay in, hesitating only for 8, minute to have it strengthened with some tape Six Counters in Row 2
 Not to be outdone by Smitty's volley of shots, Ed Hagerman, stel- lar Petersburg forward, came through with six counters in a TOW and narrowed the margin. but Smitty retaliated with six m o rs points, keeping Juneau still in the lead with only two minutes to play, and four point lead. Eltor Lee suddenly tossed in field goa and Hagerman quickly followed his running mate with another neat basket which knotted the score a, 36-all as the gun went off.

Rule the world this time Of year.

THERE was something in the air,
something that hadn't been
there just a very short time
L before. True, there was more
warmth than there had been, but it
wasn't this. There was something
else. 1t affected people in different
ways. Some wanted to sing. Some
wanted to race and run about aim
lessly. Some wanted to dance. Some
wanted to kick up their heels and
do other foolish things. Mrs. Peter
said it was Spring fever. That prob
ably was as good name as any for it.
Peter and Mrs. Peter had forgotten
that they were supposed to be sedate

It certainly was a funny perform
ance and sometimes rather breath

plunge headlong from high in the air,
turn a single somersault forward,
catch himself and swing upward
again to where Mrs. Whitespot looked
on admiringly. Sometimes he would
turn a sidelong somersault, and some
times he would tumble over and over
for all the world as if he had been
shot or somehow lost the use Of his
wings.

as one of these tumbling performances
ended right over the dear Old Briar-

Bedtime Stories
Spring Fever.

Down in the Smiling Pool, despite
the fact that the last of the ice had
disappeared only a day or two be-
fore, pepper the Hyla was telling every
one within hearing that he was awake
and so glad of it that he wanted to
sing every blessed minute. He, too,
had Spring fever. He sang by day and
night, and one wondered how so
much sound could come from so small
a person.
Oever on the Green Meadows was a
doorway opening into long hall that
led to a snug, warm room SO far down
in the ground that Jack Frost had
been unable to get down there at all.
There Johnny Chuck had slept all
Winter. He had slept rolled up in
such a sound sleep that he was al
most as If dead. Johnny had awak-
ened, kicked the kinks out OF his legs,
and now, quite contrary to his usual
habit, he was wandering about. He
didn't want to stay at home. There
was no special place he wanted to go.
He just wanted to be on the move, to
roam about. He also had touch Of

Coaches From Midwest.

RASKET BALL interest has been
stimulated in the Far West by
the coaching tactics of Samuel Justin
Barry of Southern California and
John Bum of Stanford. Barry for
merly was coach / Iowa, where baS-
ket ball one season outdrew the foot
ball team, and Bum is one of the
University of Kansas greatest ath-
letes. These two have introduced
Midwestern tactics into Pacific Coast
be sket ball. and the standard of play
in this sector has increased tremen-
dously. The effect is noticeable in
high school circles and I would ven-
ture the opinion that prep school bas-
ket ball in California is the equal of
any in the country, save perhaps In
diana.
1t Is only a matter Of time until
Pacific Coast basket ball, particularly
that played in California. is on a par
with that in the Middle West and
East. And then there will be little
living with Californians, who now
insist they have the best climate,
scenery, tennis players, foot ball teams
and Jean Harlow.
In fact, Mr.. Bill Moore, who once
attended Stanford for a few weeks,
already Is willing to challenge the
Purdues, Indiana. Notre Dame or
Northwestern on behalf of the Cardi-
mails. There seems to be no way to
stop the boasting of these Californians
even the ones who came from
Dubuque or Des Moines only last week.
