Look, buddy. If Pvt. Bob Kena-
ston who is with the Civilian Traf-
fic Control outfit in Juneau asks
you should show him your travel
permit-show it. Don't ask no ques-
tions, that's all. Otherwise you amt
worth much if you should make
him ask twice.
1t should be enough that Kena-
ston is no midget. He weighs about
200 pounds and it becomes him. He
also brushes the six foot mark. But
that isn't all.
He has been challenged approx
mately 5000 times, more or less, and
hasn't lost but maybe SO times. And
that isn't all, either.
He is a former Worlds Junior
Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.
Won 1t i'm 1886
Just in case you want to check
the records you can do so but you
will find that Kenaston won the
title when he defeated Cowboy
Dude" Chick of Laramie, Wyo-
ming, in 1886 That of course, was
after he won the International
Championship in 1895.
His real name is Robert Logan
Kenaston, but he is known to the
wrestling world as Sarge Kena-
ston because he was formerly a
Sergeant in the U. S. Marines He
came to Alaska about four months
ago after entering the Army and
training at Camp Roberts, Calf
ornia.
When he entered the Army he re-
tired as undefeated champ and re-
linquished his diamond studded gold
belt which he held after winning
the title in 1896. This belt is put
up by the National Wrestling Asso-
citation of America. 1t contains a
mere II diamonds, the largest of
which is the famous uncut Lucas
diamond valued at $4,000.
He Can Wrestle
To retain the belt as long as he
did, Kenaston had to defend it at
least every three months. He is one
of the few wrestlers who has fought
in more than 5000 matches and
who knows how to Wrestle His ears

PREDICTION

But HaIsey Still Says Vic.
tory Will Be Ours
This Year

WASHINGTON, Jan. L. Elmer
Davis, whose job is to keep the ma
ton informed on the war, today
took exception to Admiral William
Halsey's flat prediction that VIC
tory will be ours this year.
Said Davis, I'VE have no infor-
nation to support such a predlc-
ton, although we have been try
ing to get some"
On the contrary. Davis asserted
that the Germans, to the best OF
his knowledge. still are building
more submarines than the United
Nations are sinking and the toll
the U-boats are taking in Allied
shipping is creating some heavy
losses in ships and cargoes that go
with them, and sometimes trained
men"
But Admiral Halsey, who COM
mands the United Nations fleet
in the South Pacific, still stood
confidently on his prediction of an
Allied victory this year.
The Admiral, who has a low eS-
innate of Jap service men, said
today in New Zealand, when we
first started out, I held that one
of our men was equal to three
Japs. now increase that to 20.
