 WIN OVER MOOSE
LAST NIGHTS SCORES Juneau High 73; ACS 25 Imperials A; Moose 35

Juneau High Schools Crimson Bears walked away with the heavy end of a second consecutive lop- sided score last night, as they took the ACS team 73 to 25 The second game of the evening saw the Imrer- ials chalk up win over a fight ing Moose squad, A to 35.
 The Crimson Bears showed better team work and smoother play last night against the ACS than at any time previous this season. No ques- tion about it, however, they were out for all the points they could get, and in the process Center Herb Mead broke his own record for points in one game. Mead put l2 field goals through the strings, and >ona free throw, for a total of 25 points, which may te a school rec ord.
 Coach Avrit gave his first string free rein last night, for the most payt. During the first quarter they piled up an impressive 19 to 2 lead over the ACS boys. After three minutes of the second, Avrit sent in his second string, and they ran the tally up to where it stood at the half, 35 tc 8.
 ACS Works Hard
 The Signal Corps men worked hard the entire game to stem the tide but they were neither fast enough to stop Juneau's accurate shooting, nor skillful enough to make up for it at their own end of the floor. In the second half ACS did a little better and managed to salt away six points during the third and 10 during the fourth quarter.
 Junior High, however, made % points in the third quarter, during half of which the second string was on the floor.

 DEFEAT GIANTS
 IN UPSET GAME

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The large noise left over today from the Na- tional Football Leagues 1946 World Series wasn't so much about the return of the Chicago Bears to the top spot as it was the fight the New York Giants put up before the big and bruising Bears were able to turn the trick.
 Through the years the Monsters of the Midway have practically held lease on the National Leagues throne room. So it came as no particular surprise when they went to the head of the class yes- terday in the Polo Grounds for the fifth time in IA years by 24-i4 margin over the Giants and for the entertainment of an all-time top playoff crowd of 58,346, who cooked up record financial pile of $282, 95525 in gate receipts.
 The Giants in general and Flip pin Frankie Filchtick the spear head frcm Indiana, in particular played their hearts out to win ano thereby wipe out the cloud over them concerning an attempted fix of the game involving loca gambler and one of their owr mates.
 They didn't win, but then they didn't figure to against the might of the Bears and their quarterback genius, Sid Luckman, who tossed for one touchdown, scored another on a "cute" 19-yard trick sprint that caught the Giants flatfooted and who equalled or bettered foul playoff records for passing ane grabbing interceptions, in wha may have been his final pro game
 Filchuck not only pitched fol both the Giant touchdowns, passed for l28 yards and belted the lint for; 55' more to top the New Yorl

 The second game saw DAe Imper- ials pull away from the Moose dur ing the first half. At the quarter the score stood II to 3; and at half time, 26 to II. The Moose picked up in the third quarter, and at the close were only eight points behind. The score was 2s to 27 and it looked as though the Moose might nose out the Imperials, who were loafing along on their lead. In the last canto things frightened up to hard, fast ball, but the Moose lest Floherg on fouls, and with him their opportunity to steal the game. Scoring was about even, with three sinkers and three free throws for the Imps, and four field goals for the Moose. Unable to close the gap, the Moose conceded, and the final score read A to 35.

Fixing of Last Sunday $ Game Draft Questions
 Are Taken Up

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The Ma tional Football League moguls went into their final December huddles today with the case of New York i Giant fullbaek Merle Hapes-in- volving the attempt to fix Sundays championship game-still open, the player draft finished and proposed rule changes up for debate.
 Although no action has been talk en yet in the attempted bribery of Hapes-and nothing final will be done pending disposal of the case against the indicted Alvin Paris, self-styled big bettor National League Commissioner Bert Bell made it plain that the axe will fall on anyone who hears of such a situation and doesn't report it im- mediately.
 Sporting a new five-year con- tract at a $30,000 annual salary, the stocky Philadelphian declared that withholding of guilty know Hedge of gambling or attempted fixing" of games is punishable by lifetime banishment.
 He pointed out he was not spe- officially referring to Hapes, who is alleged to have been ''propositioned" by Paris last week and not to have reported the attempt to Giant Coach Steve Owen or any other club official.
 Draft DOings
 Bob Fenimore, tWo-time All America Oklahoma A. and M. back, Twas first choice in the lengthy draft sessions. He was selected by the league champion Chicago Bears. ! Glen Davis, Army's great MT. i Outside" was No l pick of the {, Detroit Lions.
 But the magnates paid close at 1 tention to news from the local grand jury, which indicted Paris on two counts of attempted brib- { cry, after hearing from Hapes and 1 the Giants passing halfback ace, Frank Filchock, and to reports from municipal court, where Paris bail was raised from $25,000 to S28,OOO.
 To Tighten Regulations
 And it was obvious that the mo- guls, deeply affected by this first cloud in the 27-year National League history, were going all out to tighten up regulations
 Most popular on the draft list were the undefeated Bruins of UC- LA Although only about one-third of the 300 drafted players were an- nounced, it was learned nine mem- bers of the Uclan outfit were select ed, headed by southpaw passer Cal Rossi, first choice of the Washing ten Redskins. The owners picked five of the unbeaten, united Bull dogs of Georgia, the identities of none of whom were revealed. !

Mandel added
 Fullback Doc Blanchard, whc made up with Davis Armys much feared Monster and his playmate continuation, was selected a year ago ty the Pittsburgh Steelers Blanchard had a year at North Carolina before going to West Point.
