Now is the time for all self
appointed political experts to
make their predictions on the
outcome of the election, writing
the expected results on a piece
of paper, carefully putting it
away, and then dragging it out
on the morning after TO show
what smart forecaSters they real
~ were.
President Roosevelt does this,
only he admits that he has never
been right on his predictions.
But you, too, can play this
kind Of political solitaire, and
as convenience to those who
care to indulge in this harmless
pastime, there is presented here
a check list of questions on the
outcome of this election. Write
your own answers and file for
future references:
/. Will Roosevelt run up a
greater Electoral College vote
than that by which he beat Will
kie in 1910, when the count was
449 to 80? He beat Hoover 472
10 50 and he beat Landon 523 TO
8.
2. How many more states Will
Dewey carry in 1914 than the 10
states Willkie carried in 1910?
3. The total number of votes
cast in the presidential election
of 1910 was 49,815,312. How
much bigger will the popular
vote be in 1914?
4. The 1910 popular vote was
divided roughly 100000 foI
Roosevelt, 22,000,000 for Will
kie, Roosevelt winning by s.
100000. What will the differ
cnce be IN 1914 and which way?

AIT SCORE
Visitors Are Aggressive
PIayers-Another Game
Is Scheduled tonight

The game, but slightly over-anx-
ious cagers from Sitka High School,
were smothered in an exhibition
game on Saturday night in the gym
by the Crimson Bears by a one
sided score Of AZ to II.
The visitors played CALAMITY to
the end, never giving up even when
the Bears had a comfortable lead
and the game was in the bag. They
apparently were unable to solve the
Bears attack. and seldom were able
to move the ball within scoring
range. Also they were playing on
a strange floor, which handicapped
them to some extent. The Sitka
boys are aggressive and show ex-
cellent coaching
The home team has had the adj
vantage of playing with numerous
squads of the City League and with
Douglas, as we'll as those games
during their trip to Petersburg and
Wrangell, and are able to adapt their
strategy to the threat of the OPP
posing players.
The Sitkans mainstay was Wag-
ner, center, who made 10 points,
and the Bears were led by Nordling,
center, and Kearney. forward, who
scored and 7, respectively. The re-
mainder of the points for Juneau
were FARTHER evenly distributed.
Toward the end of the third quar-
ter tremendous cheer rent the air,
and then it was discovered that
Mead was coming into the game.
The ovation, which would have
drawn tears of envy from Babe
Ruth, was not for the skill of Mead
as a hoopster, although he pro-
ceeded to toss in three baskets, but
because he is colorful.
A good crowd turned out for Sat-
urday nights game, the largest seen
here for a long time, and this is
gratifying, since the expenses of the
visiting team must be met from the
admission prices of the three games
they will play here. The band was
on hand to play, led by Miss Phyllis
Brooks, and the cheering section
impartially led yells for both squads.
The teams played clean game and
there were few fouls, none of them
deliberate, and no pickering with the
officials.
Following is the box score.

rB'lning the distance in 4:07.3 in

The new time is one-tenth of a

Cunningham set in 1888. Later
Saturday night, Dodds came back
to win the 1oo0-yard run in the
good time of 2:11.2.
Cunningham once travelled the
nile in 4:04.4 on the huge plank

was not generally recognized be-
cause it requires five laps in con-
trast with II on the Madison
