RED CROSS
DRIVE GOES
AWAY OVER
Amount Raised by Juneau
Chapter S9,323.45-
Quota Sc, 500

The recent War Chest Cam
paign conducted by the Juneau
Chapter of the American Red
Cross was over 40 percent success
full, stated Adjt. Stanley Jackson,
Chairman of the Central Com
mitee today. The quota allotted for
the Juneau Chapter was $500 and
the amount raised to date is So
323.45, of which $7,934.90 was con-
tributed in Juneau. The balance
was raised. in the outlying COM
munities which comprise the Ju-
neau Chapter, from Petersburg to
Yakutat, not including Sitka. A
number of these communities are
still to be heard from and the
committee is confident that the
total sum will reach $4,000.
The Red Cross War Chest Cam
paign was authorized by a recent
proclamation of President Roose-
welt and the goal was set at $780,
100000. 1t is a war and disaster
fund which will help to alleviate
the suffering of our armed forces
and civilians alike, particularly
among the vulnerable coast towns.
The local drive was handled by
a Central Committee consisting of
Jackson, Chairman; Har-
old Aase, w. A. Rasmussen, A. Van
Mavern, Allen Shattuck, John
Reck, John Jones, Charles G. Car
ter, J.. F. Mullen and B. F.. Heint-
zleman. The canvass was made by
solicitors according to the various
classes of business enterprises and
occupations, such as professions,
wholesale and retail stores, labor
unions and Territorial and Federal
establishments. The committee and
solicitors report practically 100
percent response from all persons
they contacted. The Central Com
mittee desires to thank the news
papers, radio station KINY and
the solicitors who helped to make
this campaign successful.

Skiers FACE
big Events
Near Future
Behrends and Henning
Trophies Hung Up for
Winners Of Races

All feminine skiers who haven't
cast eyes upon the Behrends tro-
ply in the Ski Shop at Behrends
store should do so at once. This is
truly an outstanding trophy in
beauty and style, and trophy that
any skier should be proud to win.
There is just one month to train
for the downhill and slalom races
to be staged for this event. 1t is
possible that these races will be
held in the upper bowl if there
should be lack of snow in the
meadows.
The courses will not be difficult
runs, but without doubt will pro-
vide a test of skiing ability for
the competitors.
The next three weekends will be
devoted for practice in simple
downhill and slalom runs in order
to provide confidence for skiers
for the trophy.
Unless we miss our guess, there
is a plenty good chance of some
new woman skier taking this race
in easy style unless some of the
advanced skiers break down and
try the practice session, says Dean
Williams.
Last years winner of this race
was Mary VanderLeest Toner.
Henning Trophy
AS in the past few years, the
time in the season has come for all
ski-men to cast their attention
towards the races for the Henning
Trophy. In addition to the regular
trophy a second place cup award
will be given this year to the man
who places second in the combined
downhill and slalom.
Judging from the speed shown by
a number of the racers in the
Guess your own time event" re-
Gently, there will be keen COMPETE
ton especially in the downhill race
where considerable gains have been
made owing to the facilities Of
fered by the ski tow.
This event will be staged near
the end of March at which time
excellent spring snow should pre-
vail. Special practice will be set
up on the ensuing weekends in
order for competitors to train for
the races, The following is the
record of previous Henning cup
results: 1899, Ralph Moreau; 1910

Northern Division Cham

poned Until Monday

Bombarding wild and helpless
Juneau team with every trick in
the book, plus couple of new
ones, the Skagway High Panthers
last night evened the Northern Di-
vision basketball series by wallop-
ing the Juneau prepsters, 1920 be-
fore an overflow crowd.
With a victory apiece, the two
high school quintets will clash in
the playoff game at 1880 o'clock
Monday evening in the Juneau
High Gym. Previous plans to hold
the game tonight were cancelled to
give the players a weekend of
rest.
Skagway put the game on ice
in the third quarter by building no
slight margin of 2l-l9 and then
stalling unfortunately while tn e
frantic Bears tried and tried again
to get possession of the leather. In
the final quarter both teams went
crazy, shooting from every angle
and missing every time, except
when Hannah plunked in field
goal for the Panthers and john
son managed free throw for the
home team. Aside from that, all
the shooting went astray in the
fourth. Players on both squads
lost their sight in the hectic surg
ing up and down the floor and
the craftsmanship was lousy.
Madh0use Third
But that third quarter - watta
madhouse! The half ended with
the Panthers leading, 1873, but
Coach Fred Lindenmeyer's boys
came back with a rush that mo-
mentarily paralyzed the Skagway
defenses. Johnny Bavard slapped
in two long range shots from near
the center line and didn't even
tick the rim as the ball registered
