Do You Think You Cant Afford
MERCURY?

Owners report up to 20 miles per gallon
That's because Mercury engineers. applying
lessons learned from aviation, have created
automobile with more power per pound
than most other cars. With no superfuous
weight but plenty of live horsepower and
flashing performance. it is thriftier than many
cars of fewer cylinders. Why not take ride
and see why more than 900 buyers have
chosen Mercury in little over two years?

MAYBE it's because Mercury is so big and
lN1 powerful that some folks think ii must
cost lot TO own. Actually, the price of
luxurious new o4l Mercury is not high even
when compared TO that of lowest priced
cars. And wed like you to Judge for yourself,
whether the extra pride, comfort and real en-
joyment you get are not well worth the small
difference in cost. With all its fine car ad-
vantages, Mercury is mighty economical.

 Nice Clean Game!
 The fight was rougher than first sergeant's voice from the second half on, and if the players heads had been eggs. they would have all scrambled for they were all hot and they all got cracked.
 Arnell of the Soldiers went to the showers with four fouls as the Eagles kept plugging away and making their shots good The Guards men had more recoil than rifle but they were useless their shots were no good they couldn't make them when they did get the ball.
 Although the first period score was 12 to 10 for the Soldiers. by the time the third frame ended the score book totalled Is points for the Sold 1ers and the Eagles page looked as if a hen had walked across it with 39 points chalked up.
 The only points for the Soldiers made in the third quarter was by Wiley when he sunk one from under the basket. The Eagles garneded 19 points in the same time Fighting right up to the end the Guardsmen showed that they had plenty of spunk. but were just a little off form. Final score was 39 to 16

School boys kept calm and allowed the Bremen only one field goal that made by Jones, who stacked up a total of IA points during the game The half ended with J-Hi leading IT to IA. Then the Bremen started to creep up and the score was tied in the middle of the third quarter. The smoke-eaters increased their pace and the Bears Jagged made an attempt to catch up and then stopped playing the same cool ball they had been exhibiting.
 Although it was thought impos- sible, the Crimson Bears looked tired in the last frame and were eager to flop themselves on the maple floor during a time out period J-Hi started to rough it up the last few minutes of play. Miller had already been sent to the showers on four personals, and the Bremen didn't know where to look for their op- ponents next. They were in the air, under the blackboard, on the floor, in the middle of the floor and in general in the Firemens hair. . But it was too late The Juneau boys had blown up. and their game was lost. Chapados went out of the game with four fouls and the score ended 43 to 32 for the Bremen.
 Soldiers Massacre
 As elusive as stone phantoms in a blacked-out metropolis, as gentle as steam rollers at a pink tea party, the National Guard five played their last game last night and gave the nearly-packed house a show that they will not forget in day as they lost fight with the Douglas Eagles by the near whitewash score of 48 to 9.
 It was a fierce pace that the Soldiers set. and before the game was many minutes old, men were 'acing around the floor so fast that if they had been shot with horse

Bears in the Juneau gym 43 to 32. But the game was not as lopsided as the score; the Bears were in there shooting all the time forcing the Bremen to fight or lose their 100 percent league standing.
 In the second game of the double- header. the National Guard five got wind that there is still bounty on Eagles and went out to collect in the toughest game, barring baseball bats. that has ever been seen on the Juneau High maple court. The scrimmage ended with the Soldiers making it worth a mans life to work under the blackboard, but with the score AS to 9 for the Eagles.
 Explosive Start
 Like blast of TINT the Bremen and the Bears blasted away right from the opening whistle in the first game and the fight was nip and tuck with the J-Hi boys hold ing a narrow margin over the smoke eaters until the middle of the third frame. Murphy and Mcdaniel chalk ed up 10 markers each during the fray, both of the two Crimson Bear stars showing some remarkable ball handling and close team work.
 Juneau was playing fast. cool ball for the first half, and the Firemen couldn't seem to touch them. The game rolled on. being tied twice in the first few minutes and then the first period was over with startling

 Fowler wired the Petersburg team last night telling them that the Tournament had been cancelled. but the message failed to reach the Hor- nets before they had embarked on the Yukon.
