and Wildlife Agent Gerald Banta arrived on the Grizzly Bear from Ketchikan and was joined here by Earl N. Dinner of Petersburg, Chair man of the Game Commission, and Wildlife Agent H. R. Sarber of the Wrangell- Petersburg district, who came over from the neighbor city in one of the Dinner fleet. Party went on from here this morning to Petersburg.
 Chairman Dinner called the at tention of the sportsmen to the an- ual meeting of the Game Confusion in Juneau on February and urged those who have suggestions to make regarding next years regulations on game and fur to send them in to Juneau before that date so that the Commission will have them for it's guidance in making up the recom- mendations. He lauded the Associ- ation for the fine work it has been doing in the short time it has been functioning, calling particular att IGuIiOn lO LliC IohCh Oy AOShA sportsmen in trying to develop the new Mongolian pheasants here.
 Dufresne reported to the Associ- ation that the Commission has now made arrangements to secure an- other specie of Kaleege pheasant, native of I9dia, which will be intro- duced here. It is planned to try this bird as well as a larger num- Der of the Mongolians on the Wrangell Refuge next year. The Indian pheasant is a native of wet country with high altitude and it is believed would be we'll adaptable to Alaska.
 President Fred Hanford of the Association presided at the informal meeting, called hurriedly and which was attended by a large number of Wrangell men and women. Stikine Sportsmen's Association encourages women members and probably has more members from the fair sex than any sportsmen's organization in the TsrrttaRy.

U. s. May Trade Ships
 To Britain For Alaska
 Road Through Canada
lBy=A@ooiated Press)

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29 = Pos sibility of Canada granting the Un- tied States a corridor for a high way to Alaska over which troops and supplies could be moved in an emergency was mentioned here in speculation on terms which might be involved should any additional American warships be transferred to Great Britain. There was no con tirmation in official quarters.
 Effort to get a highway to Alaska from the United States through Canada has been going on for years. While Canada has looked upon 1t commercially with some favor the matter of finance has always been a problem Since the European war broke out and the American defense program has moved ahead with mil lions being spent Tn the defense of Alaska value of the highway as an instrument of defense for both cOun- tries has been considered seriously in high official resources. Trades have been made with Great Britain of destroyers for air bases in Canada, Speculation of flu ture need of Britain for more equip ment with possibility of strained fi- nances has given rise to the con of a trade which could result in the building of the high way across western Canada to con- meet continental United States and it's northern possession.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent,

Hollywood, Feb. 7-(UP)-South- ern California's biggest sport is not played on golf course or a football field or race track, but on a side walk. No equipment is needed ex- cept a vacant store, mind to match, and the patience of man who plays three-horse parlays at crooked track.
 The sport is known as star-gazing, and it is played almost every night outside of theaters where world premieres or previews are being held. Unlike any other sport you can think of, star-gazing is open to per- sons of all ages, sexes and physical abilities. A representative group of players will include tots and totter- CTS, moppets and mammas, and ty- coons and tramps. .
 I interviewed Sidney Ney, one of the recognized, top ranking staf- gazers, as to how the game was played by an expert. With quiet pride, Ney told me he has not missed any opening since the Gish girls gave their all in Broken Blossoms" :.
 Technique
 "At that time," he said, T was a novice. I simply stood on the fringe of the crowd. Today my technique has SO improved that I am often in the photographs taken of the stars as they walk into the theater lob- by"
 As we talked. looked about his trophy room. On the left was a collar he had torn from Ronald Colman. Just beneath 1t was 8 side- comb snatched from Norma Tal- madge's hair. In a glass case was a wisp of moustache which Ney had successfully shipped off Lionel Barrymore, and cigar butt which Jack Benny had discarded occupied a place of honor on the mantle piece.
 This expert explained to me the Ney system of star-gazing.
 Thousands have adopted my technique" he continued, because of the success it has brought mo I first read every paper to find where premieres are being held. At five o'clock on the afternoon of a premiere, I don neat but serviceable clothes, garments which will stand up under wear and tear. For real- ly big opening, I tape my wrists and don knee and elbow guards, similar to those worn by basketball players These are indispensable in defend- ing my position near the entrance
 Next I fasten my autograph book to a stout linked chain. I adopted this precaution after had snatched from me an early Tom Mix and an authentic Rin Tin Bin footprint I try to reach a theater no later than six p. m. At this time of day there are only several thousand star-gazers already there and as they are generally young or inex- perienced I find little difficulty in fighting my way through them"
 Needs Taste
 MT. Ney further explained that the ability to reach a front line po- sition did not necessarily classify one as 8 really top-flight star gazer. He must have taste, and the knowledge of what to cheer.
 T never made the mistake of ask ing bit player for an autograph in my entire career" he said, "but only in my recent and nose successful years have cured by weakness for

LOUIS SLIPPING
 SAYS EXPERT
 TONY GALENTO
Champs Victim Still Brag- .ging-GOdOy Bout May
 Draw S1OO,OOO
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, Feb. 7.-(UP)-While heavyweight champion Joe Louis completed training today for his ninth title defense Friday night, this one against Arturo Godoy of Chile, these two statements were made: (O Promoter Mike Jacobs ad- mitted that the bout would be a sell-out of more than $100,000, and (2) Tony Galento volunteered that Champion Louis would soon be a "waSh-out."
 In addition, Promoter Jacobs pre- pared to announce tonight the op- ponent, city and date of Louis tenth defense.
 Although Louis still rules the 7-1 betting favorite to beat Godoy, the ticket demand is "so terrific" acc cording to Jacobs, that sell-out is assured. Unexpectedly large out- of-town sales are swelling the gate.
 This Is a tribute to the cham pion's drawing power, since Chal- lenger Godoy has been virtually forgotten by United States fight fans, The Chilean hasn't appeared in this country for more than two years. If the gate exceeds $1O0, 900, this will be nothing new for the Brown Bomber, who drew over that amount in his four previous Garden appearances.
 | Slipping?
 The public may appreciate Louis as great fighting man, but TWO Ton" Tony Galento does not. Tony watched the champion box four rounds with four sparmates at his Pompton Lakes, N. J., camp yester- day and came to this conclusion: Louis Is slipping-losing his kick. I hope nothing happens to him be- fore I can get another crack at him this summer. I mean hope no- body beats him before I get a chance to knock him out" Fat Tony, who had the champion on the deck last summer before Louis knocked him out, said jolting Joe seems to be in good physical condition-as far as his stamina is concerned, but something has sap ped the lod-time dynamite from his punch. Also, says Galento, Louis appears of on his timing and sloppy in his defense.
 Tried for K. O. Tony insists that Bomber Joe tried his hardest to register a kayo over each of his four sparmates yesterday for the benefit of large delegation of sports writers. But he couldn't turn the trick" the fat man continued. And when he was working with Emil Scholz, Scholz smacked him on the puSs with five straight rights. And Clarence Brown knocked Joe clean into the ropes ] with left jabs."
 Incidentally, Galento' contends that the champion has been train ing with the wrong type of sparring partners-stand-up boxers-instead of men who crouch low and who come in bobbing and weaving like Godoy.
 Despite the champions slipping" and his poor choice of sparmates, Tony believes an dhopes that he will beat Godoy, "after a tough fight" Tony prays each night that Godoy won't kayo Bomber Joe, "becuz I wanna do that"
