is, we heard of one election in Bluff

fact is there was no heat generated
in this campaign-and truth to tell,
not very much light in the way of

 Army over Villanova: A year ago the Cadets, with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis playing only IA minutes each, mastered the Phila- delphians by a 54 too score. Villa nova las improved and it is doubt full that Army could-so the score should be closer this time but the same team should win Army.

 Texas over Missouri: These two teams closed their 1945 campaigns by meeting in the Jan. l Cotton Bowl. Texas won Oklahoma A & M over Denver All-America Bob Fenimore will be the difference.
 Skipping over the others in a hurry:

 Supports "Side- -Riggers
 Price identified himself as the only "side-rigger" operating north of Rake before he declared If side-riggers are detrimental T cant see it." It would be an in- justice to the fishermen of little capital, he said, to dc away with them, which would in effect say that man must have sl0,000 to $30000 before he can so fishing.
 Price declared his belief that it s the traps that are doing the dam age In illustration. he cited the comeback of an area where traps ihad gone out because the fish had been depleted. With respect tC the Sitka fishing area. he held that closing of outside areas until Aug ust 20 will bring lack the sockeye lrunS within Is years He also held that if fishing is not opened until August 20, there should be no re- striotion upon fishing the balance cf the year
 He advocated restricting t2lse by placing limits upon the size of cannery packs, instead of closing dates

SEALS, OAKS FIGHT HARD FOR pENNANT

The Pacific Coast Leagues pen ant race is headed down the stretch toward a photo finish between the trans-Bay rivals - San Francisco and Oakland The San Francisco Seals hold a two-game lead but that isn't sufficient to ice the flag with four games still remaining on the schedule.
 Both San Francisco and Oakland won last night-each of team by a one run margin. The Seals snapped their losing streak at Portland by squeezing out ? to 1 victory over the Portland Beavers. The victory gave the Leagues leading twirler Larry Jansen, his 30th victory of the season. Jansen gave up only four hits, while his mates were collecting six off Jack Salveson.
 Oakland, meantime, kept alive it's hopes of catching the Seals by edging Sacramento to 2. Hero of the game was Brooks Holder who blasted out his 12th home run of the season with a man aboard for the victory margin. Sacramento had grabbed a first inning lead when Joe Marty homered with a mate on board.
 Hollywood entrenched itself more firmly in third place by beating the Seattle Rainiers, 4 to 2, in eleven innings. The Stars staged two-run rally in the eighth to tie the count and then went on to capture the elevan inning thriller.
 Los Angeles slipped further be- hind the Stars by dropping 6 to ? decision to the San Diego Padres The San Diego victory gave the Padres a two game to one edge in the current series.

 OPENINGS OF
 FISH SEASON
(Continued from Page One)

No changes in herring fishing regulations in Southeast Alaska are contemplated for next season, Thompson added.
 Further hearings on limitation of trap sites have been indefinitely postponed by the Solicitor General of the Interior Department, Thomp- son stated, but he added that he would hear the witnesses at the present sessions regarding a pro posed regulation which would bar 1 hclders of trap sites who did not themselves operate the traps there during the 1946 season from occu- pying those site for the 1947 season.
 In explaining the goal of regula- tion changes now under considera- ticn, Thompson forecast another peer pack in Southeast Alaska for the 1947 season. Based upon spawning information regarding Southeast division pink salmon runs, gained in 1945, the l947 pack run is expected to be about the same as that for 1943-when only about one million cases were pack ed-he said This forecast of definitely a poor pack" applies particularly to areas around Ju- neau and is based upon adverse sur vival factors.
 Pink Run Lateness Of paramount interest, Thompson declared, is the growing lateness of the pink runs. He feels there is need for drastic action next year to build up the early runs-hence the proposals for later season open ings. Investigations, he explained, have shown that only a few "early fish" have been getting into the bays. and these have been scoop cd out" before they could enter the streams.
 Closing of bays, he said, is de- signed 10 protect those "early fish which have got into the bays by passing outside gear before the sea son openings.
 While Paul was the principal wit ness at this mornings session, oth- CTS heard were Frank Marshall, representing the Seafarers Inter- national (AFL) Gordon Whitcomb, Sitka fresh fish buyer, and Frank D. Price, Sitka fisherman.
 Trap Elimination
 Marshall also asked elimination of traps as the best answer to the conservation problem Regarding closure of bays, he asked if the F&WL service is sure the fish are getting into the bays and that it is not destruction of the runs on the way to the bays that is depict. ing the salmon? On that point, Thompson answered that the sug gested regulations for next year are an experiment to see ii the fish can be gotten into the bays by late openings, then kept there by having the bays closed
 Whitcomb complimented the Service upon its 1946 season efforts, then suggested that opening of Icy Strait seining "at least not before August T. would give resident fish ermen a chance to go halibut fish ing and trolling first. He held
