Come another election. the aSpir- ing candidate may well have to carry along not only voice expert but makeup man. He may need a stage director.

Thursday Nights Ball Will Give Tailenders Chance
 to Close Gaps

Last nights basketball puts three teams in the no loss bracket and three team in the no win class, but Thursday nights basketball will give all three no-victory teams chance to pull out.
 In another doubleheader Thurs day night, Krause meets Hennings Five and Haida meets Elks.
 Krause and Jennings have both showed what should be perfect balance and last years char oion Elks squad will find tough slcd- ding with the Coast Guardsmen if the Haida boys turn in the same brand of ball Thursday night as they did in the overtime opener of the year with the Alaska Juneau outfit.
 Fans are getting their money returned several fold in good bas- ketball this season, and from all appearances, there is no idle state ment made in saying that Juneau has six basketball squads unusually evenly matched.

 TAKE HENNINC
Miners and Clothing Boys Put on Last Minute
 Thriller

Fans got their moneys worth at the doubleheader basketball contest last night when the Bremen de- camped Krause, 49 to 35, and the Miners nosed out slim victory over the Henning Five, 30 to 27.
 In the Firemen-Krause contest, the score was tied, nine-all at the end of the first quarter, but the Bremen, with forward Art Hautala potting a good share of his at tempts, pulled out to 23 to 19 at the end of the half.
 The four-point margin remained until the end of the third quarter, ending there at 32-23, but from there on in, the Bremen began to turn on real heat with Krause's mainstay. Leonard Bisf.-o and Ed Hoch on the bench by the foul route. Krause couldn't hold the pace in the last few minutes and the score piled up to a fourteen-poin edge at the last horn.
 Scoring Honors
 Art Hautala and Ed Metzger shared scoring honors for the Fire men with thirteen markers apiece, each potting six field goals and one free toss.
 Bishop and Hoch led the Krause assault, but got fine support from Gordon Bristol and Carl Wilson. Bishop was high for Krause with 12 points before getting his fourth foul.
 The final score makes Krause look weak. They aren't. They have strong ball hawking offense that will improve when Carl and Woody Wilson really begin to click.
 Second Mix
 In the Henning- Miners mix, fans wore out the edges of lot of good benches and polished up a lot of serge.
 In the opening minutes, Henning stepped into the lead and at the quarter post was leading, eight to seven, but trailing at the half, on the short end of a 15-13 tally.
