Radio Static Plays Mean Trick on Capt. Ramauser

Imagine what an experience it would be to hear a cryptic radio message that your son had been shot-and then have the static ob- literate all other sound.
 Capt. Joe Ramauser, skipper of the Baranof, had that experience on his last trip south through Ju- neau. His son, Bob, was shot in the foot when his rifle went off accidentally.
 Capt. Ramauser had just left a group of officers in his room, where he had been praising his strapping son just graduated from high school.
 He was called then to the radio room where a message from Yaku- tat was coming over the wire for him.
 Bob Ramsauer, son of Capt. Joe Ramauser, has been shot - the wireless operator typed out, and stopped froWn on hlS lace. StaClc had obliterated the rest of the mes sage.
 Sparks" said he could not turn around to face the Captain. He just sat there and waited. It was several long minutes before the message came through clearly that the gun shot had resulted only in a foot wound.
 Today in Juneau, while the Bar anof was in port, Capt. Ramauser visited in St. Anns Hospital with his son, where the young man was brought by Pilot Alex Holden last week after the accident.
 Capt. Ramauser said he would take Bob south with him when he returned through Juneau next week.

WESTERN STILL.
HAS CHANCE TO.
CRAB GRID TITLE.
By PAUL BEACH

Only one factor of any interest
whatsoever stands out in today's
double-header interhigh football
program, featuring Eastern versus
Anacostia at Eastern and Western
and Wilson at Western, both kick
offs slated for 3:15 p. m.
OF the four elevens, Westerns
Red Raiders are the only ont to
have any bearing on the ultimate
crowning of the conference cham
pion. They are still in the run
ming, even though it requires q
far-fetched stretch of the imagina-
ton to picture them gaining the
pinnacle, inasmuch as they would
have to down Tech, which Wou1d
then have to lose still another
game. However, Central would
have to drop two of its remaining
three tilts.
The battle, which is exciting all
of the feverish interest Of both
partisan and nonpartisan fans
alike is slated to explode on the

At the present writing, this
choice morsel appear; to be the
climax of the District high schools
campaign for victors' laurels.
Coach Rusty" Thompson says
with confidence that his Trainers
will emerge on top of the heap.
He has good reason for his remark,
especially in view of the power
that suddenly burst forth in the
Wilson deluge.
We hearken back to the day
when Coach Hardy Pearce, by way
of contrast, expressed a modicum
of doubt about the ability of his
charges. Nevertheless, the Clifton
Streeters have shown their merit
in no uncertain terms. Take, for
example, yesterdays overwhelming
triumph over a courageous, hard.
fighting bunch of Roosevelt Rough
Riders.
All in all, it appears to US that
the Centralites still possess the
qualities to fight their way
through their schedule without a
setback and we reaffirm our faith
in the big Blue team to win Fri

interhigh crown. No bricks

TROJAN-BEARS'
ROSE BOWL TILT
LOOMS TOSS-UP.
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Nov. Q.N.S0
There was a howl of anguish from
some of the punters when they got
a gander today, at the odds the
Broadway bookies are quoting on
this weeks leading football games
That's simply murd er,"
moaned one punter, pointing
sadly to the slate that read "9
to 10 and you pick 'em" on the
California-Southern California
battle.
Here am all set to put a few
coarse notes on Southern Cal
at about Q to / for my dough and
that bandit hands me 8 to 10,
and California amt been
beaten"
"Yeh," the aforesaid bandit
replied sagely, but football
teams amt the same in Novem-
ber as they were in October.
We're not in business for our
health. If you're looking for
charity, there's a bureau down
at city hall.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE
Mine to 10 goes on this one
and also on Colorado and Utah,
Kansas and Nebraska, Man
haitian and North Carolina
State, Southern Methodist and
Texas Aggies, Arkansas and Rice
and Alabama and Tulane. Take
'em or leave EN-"
Brown is a z to 5 choice owe
poor old Yale, and the same pric'
was quoted on Auburn over villa
nova and Duquesne over Souti
Carolina.
Fordham was 8 to S over ST
Mary's but if you don't care II
lay the odds on Fordham, the big
hearted bookie will obligingly taxi
st. Mary's at 9 to S. Or, as tn
bookies put it, they'll lay eight o
take nine. oregon also is an
to-5 favorite over Idaho.
BOSTON FAVORED
In the 9-to-5 group we fin
Boston College listed over Indiana
Baylor over Texas, Colgate owe
Syracuse, Holy Cross over Tempt
and Stanford over washington.
Georgia is 2 to / over FloridS
and the same figures prevail TO
Minnesota over Iowa, U. c. L. A
over Washington State, Oklahom
over Kansas State, LouiSian
State over Missouri, Northwestern
over Wisconsin and Ohio Stat
over Purdue.
Notre Dame is only S to 2 owe
Navy but the odds probably Wi
lengthen out and the same goe
for Georgia Tech over Kentucky
Harvard over Chicago, and Texa
Christian over Tulsa.
PITT GOES 3 TO l
Pitts juggernaut is 3 to 1 owe
Carnegie Tech and we find tn
same price on Columbia over Vii

AMONG COACHING GREATS

WHISTLE suspended from his
neck, a medium-sized man in
blue jacket spends most of his
winter afternoons traversing
the hardwood court in Notre
Danes spacious field house.
Now in his fifteenth year of
reign as head coach of basket
ball at Notre Dame, George
Keogan deservedly merits recog-
milton among the great basket
ball coaches of all time.
Take a gander at his four
teen-year record at Notre
Dame: 232 games won, GO lost,
and one tied. In case you are
interested in further statistics
that's an average of .773.
Keogan's best years were in
1925-26 and 1926-27 when the
Irish won nineteen and lost but
one game each season.
The fighting Irish were gen.
orally credited with the national
championship last year. They
won twenty out of twenty-three
games.

and leaped out, that Hilary
