ENTHUSIASM
CASAbA WILL
SHOW TONIGHT
High School Spirit Will Fill
Gaps in Size and
Range

Tonight's basketball at the High
School Gymnasium is going to be
wide open, hard fought ball - OF
High Scoool teams have changed
in the last few years.
Coach Jimmy Ryan, of the Uni
versity of Alaska Polar Bears, used
to say to his men before they went
into a tussle with a High School
squad. You boys are bigger and tai
Ter, stronger, and if you're not lazy
bit faster than these lads you're
going to play-but don't get cocky!
just watch that Hing Scool en-
thusiasm"
Therein lies the reason tonight's
doubleheader with the Douglas
High School quintet playing the j.
High Reserves, and the J-High Var
sity playing the Elks, should be a
hard fought driving game.
Douglas will bring over that 9TH
er-side- of-the-channel roofing spir-
it that makes Juneau rooters look
a bit wishy- washy in contrast. That
is germ enough for High School
enthooziazm" in the first game.
In the second contest, all cards
showing before the opening whistle
blows, will find the Crimson Bears
beaten in sight-but watch what
wonders that High School enthooz-
iaSm" can do!

Secret of
Indian Luck
Piece Penetrated

COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. a.
DR.. w. F. Drea of Colorado College
has discovered a way to "eat his,
cake" and keep it too.
He wanted to know what was in
side an Indian fetish, kept by a
southwestern Colorado tribe as a
good luck" charm for deer hunts,
and yet he didn't want to destroy
the relic.
The fetish, DR.. Lea was told by
old-time Indians, was made of It's
sues from the heart of deer, tight
ly wrapped in layers. The Indians
did not know what was inside this
particular fetish.
So DR.. Drea x-rayed it and dis
covered that in the center was an
ear of dorm and other objects which
appeared to be turquoise.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan a.
The average chicken in Minnesota
today is laying nearly two dozen
more eggs year than her prede-

This is shown in a 10-year study

Cooke, poultry extension specialist
at the University of Minnesota.
BY increasing the percentage OF
mash in the ration fed, the produc-
ton gradually was stepped up from
1877 eggs per hen in 1927 to 1853 in

Baseball Race
BY PAUL NICHOLSON

NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-BroadWay
Jack Doyle donned his fancy Chi
nese dressing gown today and spun
every secret out of his magic crystal
ball. Before the 61-year-old bet
ting commissioner had finished he
had presented the lineup which
the smart money" will follow down
the sports trail of 1888.
Broadway Jack hasn't been out
foXed in the betting business since
the Boston Braves won the pen
nant back in 1914 with their miracle
men,
This, according to Mr.. Doyle, is
how the smart dough will ride in
1888:
Baseball In the American
League, the New York Yankees will
go postward at to 5. And they'll
walk their best followed in this
order: Detroit or Chicago for sec
ond and third, Cleveland, Boston,
Washington, Philadelphia and st.
Louis. The downtrodden Browns
will be 300 to l. Broadway Jack
said the crystal ball wasn't SO clear
in the National League because
Pitcher Van Lingle Mungo hasn't
been sold yet. If either the New
York Giants or Chicago Cubs get
him, they'll win the pennant fol-
lowed in this order: Pittsburgh,
st. Louis, Boston, Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati, Philadelphia, 500 to l shot
If neither the Cubs nor the Giants
get Mungo they'll be equal choices
