SEEKS RETURN TO U. 4.
 OF EXPERIMENT STATION

The Association of Land-G Grant Colleges and Universities has asked Secretary of Agriculture Anderson for return of the Alaska Experiment Station to the jurisdiction of the University of Alaska
 This action was taken in the form of a resolution in connection with the action of Congress early in 1947 in transferring to the Secretary from the University the use of equipment and other facilities. buildings and grounds of the Territorial Agricul- ture Experiment Station and also transferring the unexpended funds appropriated by the Territory of Alaska for use in development of the experiment station.
 The resolution reads in part as follows
 "The Association questions wheth- CT so drastic a course is well-adviSed or necessary to accomplish the fur therance of agricultural research and development in Alaska The &C., ton seems clearly a serious viola tion of long, established principles of responsible cooperation between the Land Grant institutions and the Secretary of Agriculture through the Office of Experiment Stations.
 We deplore the action in AL aska as we would had it heen taken in any of the 48 States. . This Association respectfully ex- presses the hope that early action may be taken to return the propert- ies, materials and funds of the Ter ritorial Agricultural Experiment Sta tion to the University of Alaska; and that the usual and regular relation ships through the Office of Experi- ment Stations will be resumed.
 The Association further requests that the Secretary of Agriculture, at the earliest possible moment, take the initiative and responsibility of recommending to the Congress ac- tion to this effect"

Snead Favored
To Triumph In
Miami Open

Miami, Fla, Dec. 9-(AP)-
The first major tournament of
the winter circuit, the $4,000
Miami Open, begins at Miami
Springs golf course, and Sammy
Snead, Lloyd Mangrum and jim
my Demaret are hailed as the
men to beat.
Snead, three times winner of
the grueling 72-hole tournament,
carries slight edge as favorite
and is ranked a three to one
choice among the bet takers.
Smiling Jimmy Demaret, de-
Tending champion, equalled the
tournament record with 267 last
year and could repeat over the
re-designed, 6,735-yard layout.
Mangrum is cunning for top
PGA money earning honors and
could edge out Ben Hogan for
the 1948 money man by either
winning the tournament or taking
second place.
The pros regard Snead, from
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
as the odds on favorite. T h e
heightened course is to Snead's
advantage, for his driving and
long game is his principal as
set. His weakness is putting
and chipping.
For the first time in several
years, Ben Hogan is missing
from the big-nine pro list.
The field included 1856 golfers.
Seventy-five were exempt from
the qualifying round and 16 anna
teurs and IS pros shot 75s or
better on Tuesday to qualify for
a berth in the main event.

The first practice session OF
the newly organized Roanoke
Rapids independent basketball
team will be held at the Armory
tonight at 1880, and all prospec-
tive candidates for the team are
urged to be on hand for the first

star, has agreed to handle the
duties of coach for the indepen-
dent cagers. Sullivan will be in

Not since the 1947 season when
the local Jaycees sponsored a
team in the semi-pro Goober Belt
League has independent basket
ball been played in Roanoke

outfit will shape into team with
real talent, since most of the
prospective candidates are for
mer high school and college bas-
ketball players.
Several well known touring
professional cage teams includ-
ing the House of David, the Fly
ing Swedes, the Celtics, the all
girl Redheads and others will be
contacted by local bookers to
play in the Roanoke Rapids Ar
mory against the independent

Girls Lose
Opener 26-l8;
Boys Win 58-45

The Roanoke Rapids High
School basketball teams raised
the curtain on the 1949 season
here last night by dividing a
doubleheader with the Aurelian
Springs High School teams, the
Aurelian Springs girls winning
26-18 and the Jackets taking
the nightcap.
A near-capacity crowd was on
hand to watch the local teams
in action for the first time in
the practice games with the
neighboring teams, and there
was plenty of action for all to
enjoy.
In the curtain raiser the Au-
rellan Springs sextette got off
to a fast start and were never
headed by the lacols. The visitors
showed some expert ball-handl-
ing and shooting and were able
to protect their lead all the way.
AT the end of the first quarter
Aurelian Springs held a 11-6
lead, however the Roa.,oke Ra-
pids girls were within three
points of the visitors with the
scoreboar6 reading 1912. The
the Aurelian Springs girls tur-
third-quarter score was 2O-16 and
Id on the steam to pull away
in the final period.
Each squad used only three
substitutes in the game. Start
ing the game for Roanoke Rap
ids were Evelyn Rook, Mary
Frances Allsbrook and 10 Ann
Black at forwards and Margaret
and Betty Myrick at guards;
Martha Bowers was a substitute
forward and Mildred Draughan
and Shirley Glosson were guards.
Dorothy Shearin, Mary Ruth Will
cox and Doris Hux started as
forwards for Aurelian Springs =,
with Patricia Vincent, Jean Mo-
horn and Opal Jones as start
ing guards; subs were Amelia
Glasgow at forward and Margio
Willett and Lucille Robinson,
guards.
Leading the Aurelian Springs
sextette was Dorothy Shearin
with 20 and Doris Hux with
four. Evelyn Rook had ten points
for Roanoke Rapids and 10 Ann
Black had five.
In the nightcap the Jackets got
off in a hurry and ran up an
impressive score in their 58-45
victory. The boys looked to be
in good shape and well-practiced
as they jumped into quick
lead and were ahead 17-13 at
the first-quarter mark. At half
time the Jackets were out in
front 27-2O and by the end of the
third quarter they were sport
ing a 15-point lead.
Each team was not very gen.
erous with substitutes, with the
Jackets playing eight men and
Aurelian Speings sending only
seven into the fray. Starting
for Roanoke Rapids were Billy
Clemmer and L. R. Hines, Jr.,
guards, Tommy Wheeler, center,
Rook at forwards; subs were
Charles Hasty, Raymond Wheel
er and Noah Sadler. For Aure-
liam Springs Wilcox and Best
started at forward, Gibson at
center and Carter and. Aycock at
guards; Gibson and Wallace were
sent in as subs.
Sharpshooting forward Earl
Rook hit the basket for nine field
goals and two free throws for 20
points. Wilcox with Is and Best
with IA topped the scoring parade
for Aurelian Springs.
The two Jacket teams will a
gain see action in another pair
of practice games here Friday
night in the Armory, when they
play hosts to the strong cage
from Bethel High School.

Prevention of tooth decay
is, of course, better than treat

contribute to building and

calcium is found in fruits and
vegetables these cannot supply
a sufficient amount in a form

Vitarnin D, the Sunshine" VII
