WRANGELL CHAMBER
 HAS APT SOLUTION OR
 TERRITORYs HEADACHE

Wrangell Chamber of Commerce al it's meeting last Friday night came forth with an apt remedy for tne financial headache now affhet- ing the Territory
 Following reading of 8 letter from the Juneau Chamber asking the local Chamber il it had any ideas how the present Territorial treasury deficit could be solved. much discussion followed.
 It was pointed out that the laat Territorial legislature passed budget of approximately seven mil lion dollars but failed to pass any revenue bills to meet the budget. The income tax and general pro- perty tax bills, among others de- signed to boost the TerritOrys in come, were both defeated.
 H. B. ThOrnquist came up with a bright idea which met approval of the members present. He propos ed that the Governor call a special session of the legislature for the purpose Of passing some revenue bills but that the legislators return and do the job they were supposed to do in the first place at their own expense
 It was pointed out that our schools especially. are in dire straits as the situation now stands, and money will have to be proYid- ed if they are to function for the next year.
 An answer to a letter written by Wrangells Chamber to the Harvest Fisherman Company iu Anacortes was read. The Wrangell Chamber had inquired whether the Farwest Cannery here, which burn ed to the ground last June, would be rebuilt
 Farwest replied that plans for rebuilding the cannery were vague at present but said if it were found practicable to rebuild it 1t would continue to be a joint ven ture with A. R. Brueger.
 It was suggested by James Nol- an that the Wrangel Chamber N rite appropriate letters of appre- citation to companies and firms, such as steamship companies and .canHeries, wno have benefited the town in the past year.
 There were several requests from
 eIaonS Outside asking for pictures aad information on Wrangell. Chamber President Howard Baltzo suggested that the Chamber ask .uy citizen ol Wrangeu, who has a good scene of the town, or of points of interest around the town, to allow the Chamber the use of the picture in order to get some made. If you have a view of local interest or the town you're proud ol. it can be presented to William Eastaugh or Howard Baltzo and will be received with many thanks.
 A letter from George Sundborg, advisor Of the Alaska Development Board was read. Sundborg asked the local Chamber to appoint Development Committee, to work with the Territorial body to bet ter acquaint that body with devel- opment possibilities around Wran- gell President Baltzo appointed the Executive Board to this duty
 It was decided that for the pre- sent, future meetings of the Cham Der would be confined to Exseu- tive Board meetings.

Hockey Lions Routed

By the Associoted Press

/ CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.-Cleve-
lands Barons rolled up their biggest
score of the season tonight, swamp
ing the Washington Lions, 80, be-
fore 1858 in an American Hockey
League game.
Bobby Carse. the Barons' star left
wing of last season who returned
last week from trial with the
Montreal Canadians. scored twice
for Cleveland in his first game
here since last winter.
Jack Lavoie also potted two goals.
only "a seconds apart and late in
the game.
Carse broke into a clear field to
get his first goal at 245 of the
first period. Bob Solinger, rookie
right wing, made his 18th goal Of
the season at 10:l1 to give the
Rarons 20 margin
Alb Demarco made a brilliantssolo
dash the length of the rink. and
Pete Leswick jammed in another
as Cleveland rolled up the count
in the second period before Hugh
MAR finally tailed for the Lions.
Carse got his second goal early
in the third period. and Roger
Gagne downed the next for Cleve-
land. Then Lavoie, with his two
rapid-fire goals, made it 81. Frank
Porteous sank one for the Lions
in the closing minutes.

not a great one. Johnny Clement,
Johnny Zero" to Pittsburgh fans
because of the zero he wears on his
Jersey, is the outstanding back of
a "starless" backfield and he is just
getting back in action after being
injured in the Bear game of No
vember %. He will wear a special
brace to protect an elbow that was
dislocated in the Bear game sand
there is some doubt that he will be
as sharp as usual after such long
layoff.
Steelers in Good Condition.
Otherwise the Steelers are re-
ported in good condition for the
game and Sutherland has them
keyed to high &C" for the game.
With two weeks rest the Steelers
should be ready and the doctor will
be tough to beat on the home lot
before home crowd that rates him
in a class all by himsef-far above
the rest-as football coach.
Pittsburghs starting lineup prob
ably will have Val Jansante, great
est pass-catching end in the teams
history, and Bob Davis at ends;
Jack Wiley and Frank Wydeo will
be at the tackles, Bill Moore and
Johnny Mastrangelo at guards and
Chuck Cherundolo at center.
Walt Slater will understudy Gle
ment in the backfield, which will be
completed by Charley Seabright at
quarterback, Bob Offers and Steve
Lach.
Philadelphia rolled up 203 first
downs to the 1Steelers' 176 during
the season, piling up some 400 yards
more than Pittsburgh. The Eagles
threw and completed more passes,
had a better percentage, turned in
a better punting average, chalked
up more points, and held the opposi-
ton better in check on the ground.
Record Breaking Ground Games.
In Van Buren the Eagles boast a
record-breaking ground gamer.
Tommy Thompson, their best pass
er, was second in the east to the
Redskins Sammy Baugh. Thomp-
son threw is touchdown passes
compared to seven for Clement,
gaining almost 700 yards more than
his Steeler rival.
Pittsburgh had better pass re-
ceiver in Jansante, who was second
to Washington's Bob Nussbaumer,
but Van Buren scored 20 points
more than Lach, Pittsburgh's high
man. Philadelphia has the better
kicker in Joe Muha, going on aver
ages, at least, and in Ernie Steele
has one of the East's most alert
pass interceptors.
It seems to add up to slight
edge for the Eagles, but here they
are playing off tie. That should be
sufficient evidence that you can't
win games on paper.

Coming to life in the second half,

touchdowns, the Quantico Va) Ma

Naval Air Station Hellcats. 26 to 0,
to capture the All-Navy football
championship before 10000 fans in

A punting duel between Alameda S

Quantico put on a sustained drive

Another interesting report was
that Frank Leahy. Notre Dame
coach, would be offered Gus Dorais'
job as Detroit's head coach-if Fred
Mandel sells the club.
"Leahy will be offered such an at
tractive financial proposition, which
may include part ownership of the
club, he will not be able to decline"
an informant said.
Mandel said he was negotiating
with a group of prominent Detroit
sportsmen, one of whom is Spike"
Briggs, but that nothing had de-
veloped beyond the conversational
stage.
"I,u sell If I get my price" he
said. Otherwise I'll try to get the
best team possible and hope for a
break"
Rumors about Curley Lambeau
going to the rival All-America Con-
ference as coach of the Los Angeles
Dons are being laughed of, particu-
larly by Lambeau.
Another report heard here was
that Bobby Layne, Texas great
passer who was drafted by the Pitts
burgh Steelers. would be traded to
the Chicago Bears for Johnny Lu-
Jack, Notre Danes All-America
passer-runner. Those who were
spreading the report pointed out
that the Bears were interested
chiefly in passing specialist, and
would be willing to give up Lujack
for Layne. Pittsburgh, in turn, needs
a star who can run as well as pass,
and Lujack would fit the bill.
Despite all previous reports to the
contrary, it appeared pretty definite
that Sid Luckman, the Bears ace
passer, would be back another year.

Caps Streak Snapped
As St. Louis Quint
Triumphs, 55-l
By Bill Fuchs

The dreams of the Washington
Capitols to repeat their long win
ming spree of last year came to a
sudden halt last night as the st.
Louis Bombers relied on the
charity stripe to halt the Caps
four-game win streak with 55-52
victory.
A sparse gathering of about 1,500
fans watched the Caps, playing
without their stellar guard, Freddie
Scolari, whose father died yesterday
on, the West Coast. .,...,s.ssse
.. The p Caps, who were erratic
throughout the contest, neverthe-
less dropped in 81 field goals and
made good 10 out of 13 free tosses
but the Bombers capitalized on 20
charity shots. making ~ Of them
count. ~ #
Ephraim Rocha, 6-foot, s-inch
sparkplug for the visitors, started
the scoring with a foul shot and
Grady Lewis followed through with
a tap-in to give the visitors a 80
lead. Had it not been for the stellar
play of Bones Mckinney, who
bucketed three field goals and two
charity throws in the first eight
minutes of play, the Bombers would
have had much wider margin than
the 1910 command they enjoyed
at the end of the first period.
With Rocha and Belus Smawley,
a shorty on the St. Louis squad
at 6-foot-1, showing the way, the
Bombers again threatened to make
a runaway of the game in the
second period, but Dick O'Keefe
took McKinneys place at keeping
the Caps hopes alive. The former
Santa Clara University star, whose
activities have been overshadowed
somewhat this season by the per-
formances of the starting five, reg
isuered four field goals in rapid
succession to keep the Caps within
a 1926 distance OF the Bombers
as the half ended.
Bob Feerick found his scoring
eye in the final, throwing in two
quick ones as the period opened,
but, although the Caps rang up
six two-pointers TO the Bombers'
three, it wasn't enough to close the
gap. Sid Sonny Hertzberg, who
registered five field goals to take
runner-up honors in the Caps
scoring, threw in long set shot
with only Is seconds remaining to
end the scoring
