The AP co-operated with the

Last week saw the end of the
first half of the Naval Base
Basketball tourney. Although
the HS-1 ''Hup-Sters" did not
end the play with a bang they
did not end with a small pop.
The last three games were the
toughest of the season.
Tho ITSc Gilmore floored a
squad of fine players, and in a
surprise game downed our team
by a score of 30 TO SIS. The high
Gilmore" score was not indici-
tive of our teams playing. They
played spirited and highly
skilled game and held the score
fairly even until the last quart
er when the team tired and al
lowed the opposition to score
several extra points with fast
breaks.
Two nights later we faced the
Naval Air Station which was a
hard fought. we'll played game.
ending with the score MAS so,
HS-l 48. This game ended in a
major dispute with the referee.
The game was protested by HS-i,
and although no official word
has been released, it is believed
that the protest was awarded.
This play was highlighted by
the outstanding play of Dominica
SAVING. could it be that the
blonde lady in the stands was
being impressed?)
The final game was played
last Friday and was another close
encounter. with our team tying
FAWTUlant's aggregation up
until the last minutes of play,
and then losing by points.
All in all it has been a great
season for HS-l. The second half
should see championship team
from this Squadron. All hands
should feel justly proud OF the
Royal and Gold of HS-l.
The second half of the Naval
Base Tournament will be run as
follows; Participating teams have
been divided into two leagues.
The National League consisting
of the weaker teams from the
smaller units. The American
League consisting of teams from
the larger units. HS-l is in the
American League, along with
VX-l. MAS, FAWTUlant, and
Fleet Training School. II is ex-
pected that these teams will fall
easy prey TO the HS-l "Hup-
Sters." So let's all get out there
and support our team in the en-
suing encounters.

Fish Garbage May Assure Survival Salmon Industry
ZAP Special Washington Service,


 WASHINGTON, P)-Alaska's fish garbage may help assure the survival of the Pacific Northwest salmon industry, the Fish and Wildlife Service said yesterday.
 The agency said in report that Alaskan canneries throw away 5O,O00 tons of salmon viscera or entrailS each year.
 It said its laboratories at Seattle and Ketchkan have successfully tested this waste as a new source of fish hatchery food to replace the Pacific Northwest's threatened supply"
 The construction of dams on major rivers in Washington and Oregon has considerably reduced the area of salmon spawning grounds. To make up for this loss, hatcheries are being increased in size and many new hatcheries are being built.
 The agency said this produces an abnormal drain on fish food supply already too high in price and difficult to get"
 The agency estimates that about 30 percent of Alaska'S annual sal mon catch of 36O,OOO,OOO pounds is waste. It estimates the potential value of this material, now dumped into the sea or allowed to rot at the canneries, at from five to ten million dollars a year.
