CONGRESSMAN CRAWFORD
 SPEAKS ON ALASKA

WASHIGTON Congressman Fred Crawford. who visited Alaska last summer as chairman of the subcommittee on Territorial and Insular Possessions of the House Public Lands Committee, spoke em- phatically in favor of Alaska State hood this week when the House was considering an appropriation bill. The Michigan congressman said. in part. as follows:
 "I think Alaska is one of our strategic areas of defense, and l look upon Alaska as the buffer state between Russia and the Unit ed States. and now l look upon the United States as the buffer state between Russia and the balance of the world. I consider power pro- duction and distribution in this country as essential as bread and butter and meat; and l consider the protection of the people of AL aska as important as the protection of the people in our States and ap- parently the committee is moving in this direction. I am in favor of developing hydroelectric power in Alaska, and am in favor of mak- ing Alaska a State of the Union and paving the way for a million new settlers to go into that Ter ritory. We need them in that area, and we need them as quickly as we can get them there.
 q have no patience at all with the argument to the effect that the Alaskan people cannot afford to pay for the State government which the Alaskan people will i'm pose upon themselves. l have no patience with the argument to the effect that the people of the United States are unable to do these other things in the world and yet we are unable to finance a new state hood in Hawaii or finance a new statehood in Alaska. So l think we had better drop that argument that some people have been using in recent months"

Kentucky Basketers

BY the Associofed Press

BOSTON, Dec 17.-There'e nc
doubt that any basket ball team
which defeats ,Kentucky's national
collegiate champions will have to be
top of the bottle aggregation, es-
pecially when the Wildcats from the
blue grass region have such oper-
atives as Wah Wah Jones, Alex
Groza and Ralph Beard.
The Wildcats took Holy Cross ST.
48 last night as the great Jones and
the skillful Groza scored more
points in the first half than did the
entire Holy Cross five.
The first Commute session ended
with the Kentuckians ahead 27-20.
Jones and Groza each netted IL
points.
Groza tailed four field goals,
three of them tipped in rebounds
and Jones shot five field goals. four
OF them set shots, and the other a
tap-in.
Curiously the Crusaders, who were
playing their second major oppon-

freezing tactics. All the ball-hold-

of the packed 13,909 fans-the limit

Eagles Coach Hits Top Spots
In Three Branches of Sports
by the Asseeiotsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IT,
Greasy Neale has reached the
top in three very different
branches of sport. Come Sunday
he goes knocking again on the
championship door.
Nearly three decades ago
1919 to be exact-he was World
Series star in baseball.
In 1922 he coached little
Washington and Jefferson Col
lege to an unbeaten season and
an upset tie with California in
the Rose Bowl game.
Last year, and again this year,
his Philadelphia Eagles won the
National Football Leagues East
ern Division title.
The Eagles missed the 1947
NFL title by a touchdown as the
Chicago Cardinals won, 1921, on
an icy gridiron in Chicago's
Comiskey Park.
But they get another chance
against the same opponents in
Shibe Park here Sunday. The
annual championship battle Of
footballs senior circuit is a SELL
out to some 37,059 fans who'll
sit in on a duel.
How did the Eagles get that
way? Ask the players, and the
unanimous answer is that Neale
and his coaching staff have been
the biggest single factor.
Sure, the team has great stars.
Almost any fan knows of the
plunging power and speed Of
Steve van Buren, the passing
skill of Tommy Thompson, the
spectacular pass-catching of Pete
Pihos, and a line that is smart
and rugged on both defense and
offense.

his native Parkersburg, W. Va,

NEW YORK, Dec. lied by the
Southwest's whopping Is per cent

were larger almost everywhere this
fall.
An Associated Press survey of 50
schools today showed the Far West
as the only exception to the up
ward trend.
Nationally the increase in aver
age attendance was 43 per cent
over 1947. The SO schools played
451 home games before gatherings
totalling 12,446.754. Last year H.
1899 saw 443 home games.
An average game this fall drew
27.598 paying customers. Last year
the average was 26,456.
Army-Navy Crowd Biggest.
The midwest, as usual. had the
biggest crowds, both average and
total. The 105 midwestern games
drew 3,689,633 fans. a breakdown
OF 35,l35 per game. The SOUTH
west with 32.329 was next as far as
averages were concerned. followed
by the East with 26,273, Far West
with 25,028 and South with 23O0s.
Pennsylvania. which played seven
home games, had the highest total
attendance - 100000 Michigan,
which attracted 40S057 to five
home dates, had the best average.
The biggest crowd of the year sat
in on the Army-Navy classic at
Philadelphia. These 102,581 persons
counted on Navy's home attendance

Down Texas way the big gains
were registered by Southern Meth
odist which played one more game
than last year but more than dou-
bled its crowds, and the University
of Texas, which picked up $3.50
more people for the same number Of
games a year ago.
Many schools set new all time
records as did the entire Big Seven
Conference. In this case the con-
ference total was a new high ana

this way: Southwest, ass; South,
