NEW TROLLING PLUGS
 EFFECTIVE FOR SALMON

Jerry Marshall, local troIler, was displaying a new salmon plug this week which. he reported. was a real salmon getter
 The plugs, made of red cedar, were turned out by his brother, George A. Marshall, of Portland.
 The ones Marshall were showing this week were unpainted. a good feature for marketing, as it al- lows the troller to paint his own in any particular color that seems to be catching the fish. They are smoothly turned and made of yer ticle grain cedar. Each is fitted with eyes for hooks and a full swivel eye where it is attached to the line.
 Marshall has been quietly test ing the plugs for the past year and said he had caught the major ity of his fish on them. He hopes to interest a local merchant in handling the plugs.

WOLVES TRAMPLE
 KAYHI POLAR BEARS
 IN TWO FAST GAMES

Wrangell High Schools basket ball team, after getting a slow start this year although using the same lineup which ran up such a good record last season. came back fast last week end by com pletely trampling the Ketchikan High School team in two games here, 51-23 and 64-32. The Wran- gell Wolves. who play in Ketchi- kan February Is and 19. need only to win one game on the Polar Bear floor to tie up the Southern division three ways and Ketehikan would have to win three straight games now to claim the Southern division title with the right to play Juneau for the Southeastern Alaska championship.
 Ketchikan has beaten Peters burg, Petersburg defeated Wran- sell but Wrangell needs only one game to beat Ketehikan making a three-way tie and a Hay-off neces- sary.
 Last Friday night the Wrangell Wolves started their climb up the league ladder by beating Ketehi- kan 51-2S. The first quarter saw both teams open the game fast with Wrangell coming out on ton, 12-7. Ketchikan couldn't seem to hit the basket the second quarter while Wrangell poured on more points and held a 16 point lead at half time, 259 Both teams played hard. fast ball but the Kayhi boys couldn't keep up to the more exper- fenced Wrangell five who poured on more speed and points the sec ond half, ending the third quarter with a twenty point lead, 37-17. The last quarter the Kayhi second string went into the game as Coach Ed Hollister saved his first five for the second game. Wran- gell made ten more points in short order and Coach George Fabrieius sent in the Wrange1l reserves who piled on four more points to give Wrangell the ball game 51-2S. Arnold Bakke of the Wolves went out on fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter with Tucker and Christopher of the Polar Bears leaving the game via the foul route earlier.
