Spruce Knot New ShaktOOlik Boat

In the spring of 1948, the native village of Shaktoolik decided to build a tug boat for themselves since they already have a barge but no tug. The said "this outfit could be used to haul in our year ly supplies from other seaportS and still it could be used for other purposes
 The natives cut their logs froir spruce timbers and hewed them by hand and hauled them by dog sleds to their village. That first year the material was cut and seasoned while the keel was laid to its foundations. Last year the project started again with tic aim to use it in hauling their supplies. The thrifty Eskimos finished their boat and hauled their supplies, and got satisfaction of their ac- complishment.
 The boat is propelled by Chrys- Ter Marine 72 HIP. which was enough power to tow barge. One thing was lacking when winter set in on them, the boat needed a name. So contest of naming it was started. Five names were picked by the contest judges and from these names one name was voted by the village people.
 The boat was named Spruce Knot" The winner of the contest was Lawrence Kayoukluk, who was one of the boat builders and took quite an interest in building it. He said when asked why he selected such name, Because the boat is built of spruce timbers from behind our village"
 The Spruce Knot" will be ex- .pected to operate this year and will be seeking cargo from all ports on Norton Sound.

 HIGH SCHOOL
 Tomorrow, Feb. llth, is the birthday of Americas greatest in ventor, Thomas A. Edison. He was born in i847 and few years later his teachers thought he was stupid because he asked so many questions. At ten years of age, he was performing chemical experi- nlents in the cellar of his home. Five years later he was printing weekly paper in the baggage room of moving train. During spare moments, he was performing ex- periments. On one occasion, the phosphorus ignited and a. fire broke out in the baggage room. An angry trainman threw the printing press, chemicals and young Edison all out of the bag gage car.
 In 1869, he invented the stock ticker. The photograph was in vented by Edison in 1877. One of his greatest contributions was the incandescent electric light bulb in 1879. The motion picture ma chine was also one of his inven- tions. He died in 1881.
 Six ambitious High School stu dents arose early Tuesday morn ing to observe the planets and stars. Those who came at seven o'clock and in order of arrival, were: Alice Miller, Vernon Olson, Peter KoWchee, Wilfred Boucher, Frank Sheldon and Alfred Sahlin. Three planets were observed, naDoo1v.

Clayton Whips Ramos
Before Small Crowd

Marshall Clayton of Washing
ton won last nights slugfest over
Luis Ramos of Puerto Rico at Tur-
ner's Arena, although he was
pretty well beaten up himself al
the end. For the most part the two
lightweights tossed boxing skill
out the window and just let each
other have it.
Clayton received a cut over his
right eye in the first round and
during the middle of the fight re-
ceived a cut mouth. But he had
more stamina than the Puerto
Rican who ran out of steam in
the last few rounds. Bad weather
held the turnout down to about
$50, the smallest this season.
The semif1nal also was featured
by hard hitting in which Middle

sixth-round technical knockout
over Eddie Marshall. Marshall was
on the floor three times.

ards Irish-bred Moor have been

The Gold Cup. over ~ miles, is
the richest horse race of 1850. John

ally will be giving the 6-year-old

weight scale. The December scale
calls for 120 pounds for a 3-year-
old. 1875 for horse Of Noor's age.
Ten Pounds Over Scale.
Hill Prince, conqueror Of Moor

Caps 45-7 Underdogs
Tonight in Contest
On Warriors Court
Special Dispatch 10 The stor

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-The
Washington Caps take on the
Philadelphia Warriors here to-
night and the odds are As to z
that the Warriors will win. At
least, that is the ratio of victories
on the home court so far this
season in the National Basketball
Association.
The odds in basketball always
favor the home team, but never
before in the history of this pro
league has that theory taken on
such a definite pattern.
Not helping the Caps. either, is
the fact that they are not a win-
ming club at home and In this
league that puts them in a class
by themselves. OF the seven games
dropped by the home teams,
Washington has lost three, giving
Bones McKinney's crew an even
500 mark at home.
Uline Arena in Washington used
to be charmed territory for the
Caps. They always were consistent
winners there and in their first
year of play dropped only one
home contest in so.
Wins at Home Imperative.
A quick look at the records re-
veals that in order to stay on
top in this league. you have to win
at home. Not one team has
winning record on the road. Tri-
Cities, the leader In the Western
Division with a Ga record. for
example. has won all its home
games and lost all games on rivals
courts.
Tonight the Caps will meet
team that has done the same
thing, winning all four home
games ana losing all three on the
road. good enough for second place
in tie Eastern Division standings.
Other teams following that pat
tern exactly are Syracuse. SO at
home and Ga on the road. and
Fort Wayne. 60 and 0-5.
The Caps have won one game
away. that against Boston Sunday
night. Boston and Minneapolis
are the only teams to win two
games away and each beat the
Caps in Washington once.
Such pattern of play might
not be good thing for the league
If it continues. AS one official
pointed out. it could get to al
point where the home team will
be so favored as to discourage
interest in the game.
The season is young, however,
and as some teams get stronger
and others weaker the pattern
may change.
Must Stop Arizin to Win.
Washington can help balance
the picture by winning tonight,
which would give it 2-3 record
on the road. Tomorrow night the
Caps play host to Tri-Cities.
The Caps will have to nail down |
Paul Arizin to win tonight. Arizin,
Ga, covers the backboards as
though he were 6-8. His shooting
ability combined with that of Joe
Fulks has given the Warriors a |
potent scoring combination. /
Arizin claims he isn't SUPER
stitious. but just to help his team
