which is what Dalberg has done. They must also have instruction in formation and diverse plays. In other words, they must know the game This, too, Dalberg has given them in one short season. He eats, sleeps, talks and lives basketball. Other schools have taken note of his ability, and will be after him. Don't let him get away from us. He is def mite asset to Seward.
 At the close of the season last year the Sea Hawks and their coach were given a dinner in appreciation of their fine work. It should be done again this year. Even though they lost in the final game, they are great team, and the toWnspeople should show those fine boys that their courage and fighting spirit is acknowledged as symbol of Stewards hope for the future.

The
 C,adGe NosGs.
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Well, our Sea Hawks are home after losing the champion ship, Don't blame them. They fought their way into the finals, which were lost in the fifth straight game without a rest. They were literally played out It was not any lack of courage and spirit in the boys-it was unfair timing of those games.
 No professional players in any sport are required to work five straight games without a rest. Why should it be allowed for. school children, just to fur nish an added event in the pri- Vate money making fair of a single city.
 If there is to be an all Alaska championship, or even a West ern Alaska award, then let it be won over a period of time, in alternate cities, as every other league title is won. This busi- ness of one team having the dis tinct advantage of playing on it's own floor year after year with it's own referees, the boys living in their own homes, eat ing and sleeping as usual, with out the excitement of being in a strange place, is net fair to any other team. All referees in the final conference games should be disinterested outsiders.
 1 have strongly advocated for several years and maintain my stand, that school championship games should not be a part of the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous. They should be handled by the schools, and entirely separate from any other activity Ii is to be hoped that Seward, Fairbanks and Palmer coaches will with draw from h Q Rendezvous games another year, and play for the title by some other ar rangement.
 Seward has a team to be proud of and a coach that is a marvel. No one expected to make any showing this year at all. Losing three star players was blow, and the team has no competition in preparation for the meet with other schools What Don Dalberg has done with the Sea Hawks this season is no less than a miracle. No matter how good, how fast, nor how accurate individual players may be, their effort is lost until it is coordinated into a single, smooth working, we'll knit team,

as it was told to young Judy and
David Jones on their doctor

The author has hit upon the
happy idea that children might

something about the way their
entire body operates, as well as
the working of the reproductive
organs and has told also about the

structure, for example, is described
through dialogue for a puppet
show about a skeleton found and
reconstructed in the desert. Young
readers could reproduce this same
show.
The book is gayly and clearly
illustrated by Dorothy Marion
Weiss. whose drawings for chill

and whose medical illustrations
have been shown at numerous
