It can be seen almost at glance
that five clubs was the right con-
tract for the North-South hands.
However, because Of the match

The spade overcall by East was
inexcusable Though many Easts
made the bid and it had just
punishment: North-South found it
easier rather than harder to reach
their best contract.
The unwisdom Of the spade
overcall is proved by this point:
Even though East found excellent
spade support in partners hand,
he still couldn't afford to sacrifice
against the vulnerable opponents.
though he himself was not vulner-
able! Thus, his overcall had no
conceivable purpose-not even as a
lead-directing device, since East did
not particularly want a spade lead
unless his partner chose that suit
Of his own volition.
It might be thought that North
South should have avoided a no.
trump contract even if they weren't
warned by East-West spade bidding,
but 1t must be borne in mind that
match-point players often gamble
for the extra points which accrue
to no-trump contracts.

IMPERLALS DUMP sTORIs

Showing a definite lack of prac- tice, the Coast Guard Cutter Storis lost to the Imperials by the score of 37 to 66.
 Both teams apparently were not able to get started and the first quarter ended with the Imperials holding eight points and the Storis five.
 Playing picked up some in the second period but the Storis was not able to hit the basket consis- tently. At one time the sea-going team threatened the Imps by tying them and then falling behind.
 The Imps started to break faster in the second half and forced the Storis out from the basket with closer guarding. Neither team was able to connect well on the receiv- ing end of passes.
 The Storis crew showed high grade of sportsmanship in the last period by allowing the Imps to field a full team after the Imps had five men pulled off the floor through personals. The Imps had started the game with eight men in suit.

Gof a Healthy
 Mountain Goat!
 He's Worth $50

There's money in mountain goats this year-and other certain species of Alaska game accord- ing to the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice here which is seeking healthy, uninjured" animals for a re-stock- ing program.
 For the man with bring -'em-b back alive urges, the program will pay S350 an animal for mountain goats, SS5 for martens, $5 for Arctic hares, and $3 for red squirrels. No live bounty will be paid on other animals the FWS needs for the federal aid project, but reasonable care and handling charges will be paid for female moose calves and black tailed deer female lawns
 The program is under the direc- ton of Urban c. Nelson, Juneau FWS biologist. Specimens must be delivered in containers suitable for air transport, in most cases to towns served by commercial air lines.
 Nelson emphasizes that persons wishing to trap should first obtain purchase agreement and permit eff necessary from the FWS of flee.
 The marten are for Chichagof Island; the mountain goats are for Chichagof and Kodiak; the moose calves are for the Copper river area; the red squirrels are for Ko- diak and Afognak Islands; the Arc tic hares are for the Shumagin islands. The price on the red squir- rels is for animals in lots of 20. Hare price is for lots of not less than 10.
 The field is wide open as long as trappers get the permits before beginning, Nelson states. No success was gained with previous trys to get stock under competitive bids, and the FWS doesn't have the man. power to do complete job on it's own.
 So, the FWS has issued the chal- lenge to the Frank Bucks of Alaska knowing that gold and mountain goats are where you find 'en, and that both are elusive and the latter nimble.
 And a fortune" waits on land and tree-and mountain peak.

 Introduced by Mrs. Clem, Merton
 Haynes of the school faculty briefly
 sketched the advance of education
 since 1900 when only eleven percent

 other 20 percent take vocational training, leaving 60 percent who need vocational buidance and test ing of capacity to aid them to find their place in modern life.
 The young people of today
 have too many things to do, MT.
 Haynes further stated, and need to learn what to select. They also need help in choosing profession as well as a course in economic geography and a general course in just plain living.
 Two Girl Scouts from the club sponsored troop gave talks oa their
 activities. Carol Myers told of the
 puppet show given at the Court
 of Awards last year by the IS mem bers of the troop, and gave dem- onstration with the puppet doll

Bears Squeak Past Lumhermen;; Sforis TumhIes 10 Imps

In a back-slapping, hair-pulling nail biting game, the Juneau High Crimson Bears squeaked past the Columbia Lumbermen last night to win 38 to 34 in the first basketball game of a doubleheader at the high school gym.
 The Bears led off with the first basket at the end of 20 seconds to put the game into high gear. The crowd was pulled to it's feet with the lead changing hands twice in the first quarter by one point.
 A tip shot under the basket by Ninnis put the Bears in the lead by one point. Two gift shots by Ninnis ended the quarters scoring with the Bears out in front by three points at to 6.
 The high school was playing too fast a game with the Lumbermen playing slower and making certain of their shots.
 Continued close guarding by the Lumbermen paid off for them in the second quarter. Three times they held the lead and ended the frame two points ahead. The Bears were forced to try deep shots.
 4 hook shot by Asp put the Lum- hermen two points back into the lead after Carlson of the Bears dumped one in. A jump shot by Martin started the Bears clawing again and Forrest followed with another jump shot. The Bears were now one point ahead. Ripke hooked one in and the quarter ended with the Bears four points ahead.
 Graves and Ninnis put in basket and two free throws to decide the game in favor of the Bears.

Only Survivor of
 Yachting Tragedy Tells of Sinkinq

CHARLESTON, s. c. Dec 1-(R The only survivor of yachting tragedy which took eight lives sob- bed out last night his story of four-day nightmare aboard small lifeboat without food or water.
 In the boat with the survivor, Negro crewmen Gustave Emanuel Frazer, rescuers found the bodies of the yachts skipper and his wife, and their dying 12-year-old son. Four others died at sea and the yachts navigator jumped over- board to end his life.
 The boy, son of Capt. and Mrs. Samuel A. Luttrell, was still alive when picked up, but he died before the minesweeper could reach shore.
 Frazer, related how the grim saga began last Monday at Morehead City, N. C., where the yacht Amphi- trite put out for St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, where the Luttrells lived.
 Monday night the yacht sprung a leak.
 All nine persons aboard took to the 14-foot lifeboat. But in their haste they forgot to put aboard water and provisions. They tried to maneuver the small craft back to the yacht, but heavy seas pushed them back and high tide swept the hobbing boat o:.t to sea. Then fol- lowed four days and nights of ex- posture, hunger and thirst.

TheChef
Says
By the Chef

The other evening. enjoying the
long holiday week end, we went
to an informal supper with some
friends at their beach cottage,
After a series of "shore dinners ~
fish fries, clambakes and lobster
feasts it was a real treat to sit
down to a special dish that in
volved none of the denizens of the
deep.
Our hostess, who is Viennese
by birth, told us that stuffed pan
cakes had been favorites in her
family ever since her childhood.
Having been served them prepared
by her skillful hands, we can
readily understand why.
To make the pancakes, first:
Beat up the yolks of 6 eggs with
u teaspoon of sugar. Blend a
scant 20 cup of -four with / cup
of thin cream, stirring carefully
until velvety smooth. Add this
mixture to the beaten egg yolks.
Now fold in the beaten egg whites,
which have been seasoned with a
little salt. Bake the pancakes on
a griddle-pouring them to to 5
inches in diameter.
Slice pound Of brushed mush-
rooms and put them over low heat
in an ungreased pan. Stir all the
time, until the juice begins to flow.
In another pan brown minced
onion in butter-about 4 table
spoons-and add to the mush-
rooms. Season with salt and pep
per. Let cook over low heat for
10 minutes. Sprinkle little flour
lightly over the mushrooms, add
p cup of sour cream and let all
simmer for 2 minutes. Last, add
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped. and
a teaspoon or so of chopped pars-
ley.
When this mixture is heated
through and we'll blended, spread
it over the pancakes and roll them
up. Arrange the rolled pancakes
side by side in a shallow dish or
casserole. and sprinkle lightly with
grated Parmesan cheese. Brown
the works under the broiler flame
and serve at once.
With these our hostess served
a crisp cole slaw, dressed with
vinegar. salt. pepper and caraway
seeds, and sliced chilled tomatoes
seasoned with salt and basil.
