YOUNG ARCTIC EXPLORER TO 5TUDYALA5kA
Willie Knutsen, Amundsen Scholarship Winner,
 Visiting Juneau

On the archaeological trail of the ancient Eskimo, Capt. Willie Knut- sen, 29-year-old Norwegian -Ameri- can scientist who has spent the past ten years studying primitive peoples in Africa and the Far North, arrived in Juneau today. The youthful explorer, whose brilliant research won him the Rcald Amundsen Scholarship for Polar Research, granted annually by the Norwegian government, in 1886, hopes to study Alaskan Es- kimos this winter in the Interior.
 Knutsen's biography zig-zags a. round and up and down the world. starting in Brooklyn, where he was born He was taken to Norway when child and grew up there, studying in Norwegian universities and later in England In 1882, his. interest in anthropology and arch geology led him to spend nine months in Lapland, where he lived with the Laps and studied their customs. In 1884, he went to Af- rica, tramping through the bush with the natives in the French Sen- egal, painting and sketching as he went.
 Organizes Expedition
 Returning from Africa, Knutsen joined an expedition of thirteen scientists under the sponsorship of several Norwegian institutes and museums to explore east of Perry land on the eastern coast of Green land. Their vessel, the small steamer Quest, previously had been used by the English explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, on his South Pole expeditions.
 Aside from acUlng as chief of the party, Knutsen sought traces of the Eskimo tribes which once in- habited the region believed to be the most nothernmost dwelling place of man. Skeletons, artifacts and home sites of the ancient tribes were uncovered and quanti- ties of hitherto unknown scientific data were collected but war brought the expedition to an end.
 After the German invasion of Norway in April, 1940, Knutsen was permitted to return to Greenland to continue his studies, because he was an American citizen. Finally obliged to abandon the expedition because of the difficulty of obtain ing supplies Knutsen joined the United States Coast Guard Cutter Northland, which once piled AL askan waters, and was brought to the United States. His expedition vessel was taken to Norway by it's crew, where it now is interned.

 I saw enough at B.C.'s spring practice to know that the Eagles hoped to start this season with an eleven composed largely of veter- ans.

This strength, coupled with the spirit and confidence of championship team, is the basis for my opinion that B.C. may oe the top team in the East.
