Alaskans Fly To States To Enlist

SEATTLE, (41 - Six Alaskans who flew to Seattle to enlist in the army were sworn in yesterday at the recruiting station at Colman dock.
 Five were from Kodiak and will enter the army as privates, which is not an unusual situation.
 The other is from Fairbanks and will enter the army as a sergeant an unusual situation, since he has no previous army experience.
 Sgt. Harvey Carnett, Jr., as he is now known, entered with the rating because of his experience as an airplane mechanic in Fairbanks. The youth, who is 20 years old, will be sent to the air training command at Sheppard air force base in Wichita Falls, Texas, for processing.
 The enlistee found himself in the position of outranking some of the recruitment men on duty.

Rocks And Tear Gas Battle In
 Refinery Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - Hun dreds of CIO oil refinery strikers fought a rock and tear gas battle wi; h police for two hours yesterday in an unsuccessful effort to keep non-striking AFL maintena n e men out of plant.
 A policeman, a state highway patrolman and four strikers were hospitalized but none was believed in serious condition.
 Cameras of three news photog- raphers were seized and the film exposed. Several photographers were roughed up. An Oakland Tri- bune reporter was hit by tear gas bomb.
 It was the first mass violence of California's ll-day-old strike over wages, strike which has curtailed gasoline supplies up and down the west coast.
 Some five pound rocks were flung during the fighting.
 Most of the violence occurred at the main gate of the Standard Oil refinery in Richmond. But it also extended for blocks around the ap- breaches to the plant.
 A Standard spokesman said the union at Los Angeles offered tc settle for a boost of 19 cents al hour, instead of the 21 cents it hao previously demanded. A 1912 pel cent increase retroactive from July 3 to Sept. was also reportedly asked by the union.
 Standard Oil company spokes men here said the company had re- jected the unions proposal. The companies are offering l2K cents an hour increase.

Watkins Cagers
To Open Friday

Watkins High School cagers-
preseason favorites among the
10 county high teams-will open
their 1948- 40 season this Friday
when they play host to Monroe,
of Madison County, in the Os-
trander gymnasium.
Coach Albert Wade himself ad-
mits the early-season outlook is
not too bad for his team.
We've got height, speed and
the boys are pretty fair shots, :"
he says. This, coming from a
coach, is about the same as if
Tom Dewey, before the election,
would have predicted President
Truman's victory.
Nucleus of this years team at
Watkins is a couple of tall lads
who Spear-headed the attack last
season, Bob Conklin and Francis
Wade. Both are more than ft.
2 in tall and are couple of
above-average basketballers.
Working with these two are
Carroll Rausch, Dean Mack, Glen
Johnson and Tom Sweeney, from
the Reserve team of last year.
Mack, like Conklin and Wade, is
6'2" or more in height.
There will be plenty of scor-
ing punch this year on our team,'
Coach Wade predicted. Last
year, two boys provided all our
scoring; this season, any one OF
the first six is liable to break out
in rash of points, and perhaps
all of them at once"
Just what Monroe has this year,
Coach Wade does not know, ex-
cept he understands most of the
schools team from last season is
back in uniform this year.
Watkins met Monroe last year
and finally emerged victorius, but
only by two points on the strength
of basket in the last five Sec
onds of play. 1t was one of those
games that leave the fans gasp
ing for breath, and this years
fracas could easily be a repeti-
ton of last years hum-dinger.

Monarchs to Close
AT Westerville

Marysville High School takes
on Westerville Friday night in
its final football game of the
season. The Monarchs are sport
ing a 3-4-1 record at the present
time and it will take a victory
over the Wildcats to better last
years 3-4-2 season.
The Westerville offensive is
built around boy named Smith
who runs from the tailpdck slot
The Wildcats shift right or left
from the "T" into single wing
Smith is a triple threat back and
one of the leading scorers in
Franklin County.
The -Towners have a $3.50
record. They defeated Redwood
1876 in the first game of the sea-
son. In their last outing they
were defeated by London, 2O-l9
The game should be rated as
toss-up with the Monarchs going
all-out to avenge last years 300
drubbing. Westerville lost most
of its stars from that first-rate
eleven.
If the Monarchs are in good
shape, physically, this should be
top-flight battle.
Marion st. Marys meets Mt
Gilead Friday night in a game
that will decide which team will
occupy the second place birth ir
the league with Marysville. Each
team has a Ia record in the
league and only tie game coulo
give the Monarchs undisputed
possession of second place.

He abandoned the automobile af-
ter missing the turn at the COR

After abandoning the Chevro-
let, he allegedly stole a 1896
Ford coupe belonging to Emanuel
Rausch, of 308 w. Third street.
He ran the coupe in a ditch to
avoid hitting a truck which had
been involved in an accident and
blocked the highway between
Milford Center and Mechanics
burg. The truck driver aided him
in getting the car back on the
road. Sheriff Roosa notified the
State Highway Patrol and police
in adjoining counties after the
Rausch car theft had been re-
ported.
The Clark County Sheriff's Of
flee at Springfield apprehended
Hay at New Moorefield a short
