After a two months field trip to Indian stations in the Westward and Arctic which took him as far as Point Barrow, Dr. J. F.

Er Hirst and William Zimmerman Jr, Assistant Com missioner from the Washington of flee, are scheduled to come in from Whitehorse on the PA plane which has been held there due to unfav- orable weather
 Dr. Morley reported the new hos pital at Barrow is now enclosed and is expected to be finished by the first of the year. The foundation for the new hospital at Bethel is now under construction but it prob ably will be spring before much of the work can be undertaken. The Barrow hospital work was delayed for some time, he said, due to hav- ing to wait for supplies to arrive on the North Star
 Health conditions generally among the native people seems to be little changed, he reported Most of the hospitals are full but there is no unusual amount of sickness.
 One of the major problems among the natives of the north remains the liquor problem, he said. Condi- tions have not improved and in many villages there is strong feel ing that liquor licenses should not be permitted in their communities

Ellerbe of Tuskegee, who showed
his heels to the field in the 100
yard dash finals, seems to be one
of the coming track men of the
present crop of new stars. For one
thing he takes his competition to
heart, and he gives all indications
of being able to keep his head
under the avalanche of publicity
and bailyhoo that will be coming
his way if he continues to show the
form he's been displaying since the
Drake Relays. The autograph
hounds are already hot on the trail,
and the Misunderstanding he was sub
jected to last Saturday was enough
to give him a pretty good opinion
Of himself if he is inclined that
way. At present he is level-headed,
serious-minded, and determined to
take front rank in his field.

fought unsuccessfully to cinch his
first place rating away from a tie
with Colorado's Gil Cruter, the two
boys took some unofficial tries at
establishing a new worlds record.
The sun was going down behind the

around them and attempted to
clear the bar over 6 feet 81 inches,
but it was no go.

broad jump man from Ohio State
University, is a brother of the for
mer star, Mel Walker. Johnny
Woodruff of Pittsburgh is the most
unconcerned of the track men
about his personal feats. Looks

all. Ben Johnson's case of
measles let him in for kidding even
from the hospital nurses. He's a

1t wasn't quite that bad, though,
because in spite of heavily tapped
ankle, Ben managed to be the life
of a party and buffet supper given
in honor of himself and Jimmy
Herbert, New York University 44O
man.
And the mention of Herbert
brings to mind his unexpected de-
feat and poor showing in the 44O
finals last Saturday. On Friday,
in the preliminaries, he was the
class of his field. Saturday after
noon he was entirely lacking in the
drive and speed that has given him
the title of "the sensation of the
indoor track" Jimmy himself
couldn't explain it, and he didn't
try to alibi. He accepted it as one
of those things that happen in ath-
letic competition when a man sud
denly goes haywire and off-form.
He came in fifth or in next-to-the-
last place, trailing Howells of Ohio
State.
