The Thunderbirds is i also made up of former WIS var | ity players such as the Rinehart brothers, Richard and Lloyd Har- yey Gross, Charles Perky" Berg, and Art Clark
 ;, The first night the high school got off to a flying start to get sev- en points ahead of the Alumni but the more experienced players man. aged to take the lead at the quar- ter, 14-15.
 i From then on the high school was outclassed in spite of the sharp shooting Earl Jenkins.
 They trailed at half time, 26-34 , and at the end of the third quar- l ter, 4253. In the fourth period the high school coach, Don Kangas, sent in his reserves against the tir- ing older boys but the Alumni, minus Maxand and Larry Taylor who went out on fouls, held it's lead. winning 69-55.
 Score for the high school: Neil French 1. Clint Miller ?, Leonard Angerman ', R. Rider g. Earl Jen- kins IS, Thorne Ferguson s, Law ton ?. Dick Garcia 3, John Max and ?.

 The third period Harvey Gross started hitting pivot shots for the Thunderbirds and Lloyd Rinehart on the long shots but the Alumni held 6450 edge ending the third. Maxand was benched on fouls be- fore the quarter ended.
 l In the fourth frame Gary Gunder- son fouled out. then Harry Chrueh- i'll and the Thunderbirds were clos | ing the gap on Gross and Lloyd D oh ch 4uyn minutes to go the Alumni had only a six oint lead when James Tick lGunderson was benched on fouls. This brought up an unusual situa- ltion - the Alumni had only four lplayers left.
 After conferences with referee !, Paul Evans and John Grover, the two teams agreed to let the last Alumni player fouling out remain in the game but every foul he com- mitted would automatically give the Thunderbirds one point and possession of the ball at mid-court. in other words, an automatic tech inical.
 Then the crowd got in the ref iereeing act. shouting opinions and booing. as things got exciting. Gun derson fouled twice more when the Thunderbirds were only two points behind. This tied the game at 76- 76 with less than a minute to play.
 Another few seconds and Gun derson fouled again and the Thur derbirds led 77-76. Then with ten seconds to go Gunderson committed
 his ninth fould and the score was
 7S-76 with the crowd both booing and cheering the referees.
 Fighting against time, Larry

In Hot Spot
 With Party

Eighteen Republicans in the An ing letter to Gov. B. Frank Heint- zleman critieizing his policies and demanding the removal of his spe- cial assistant. Robert DeArmond: B. Frank Heintzleman ] Governor of Alaska Juneau. Alaska Dear Governor Heintzleman.
 We, the undersigned Republicans residing in Anchorage. wish to ad- wise you that We are displeased with the present administrative program and policies of the Territorial gov ernment.
 Our chief complaints pertaining directly to your office include the following:
 l. We feel that controls of Ter ritorial affairs are in the hands of stateside groups and special inter- ests.
 ?. We feel lack of representa- tion by western Alaskans in Terri torial affairs.
 3. We feel a lack of strong leader ship necessary to consolidate and unite the Republican party through out the Territory. 4. We feel a lack of interest by the Department of Interior and other government agencies for the economic welfare of the Territory. 5. We feel a lack of interest by the Governors office ol the state- hood program is disastrous.
 6. We feel the Governors office has taken a negative attitude for a special session.
 To show that you respect the will of the people; to demonstrate that the Republican Party deserves sup port at the next election; and to enable our rightful economic devel- opment. we specifically request:
 l. Replacement of DeArmond by a progressive man from the rail- belt
 ?. The calling of a special ses- sion of the Legislature within sixty days.
 3. A positive stand by you in fav IT oT passage by the current Con- gress of a statehood act for Alaska.
 4. A public declaration and wig orous support by you of necessary federal action. to include:
 A A documented program for APW appropi iations up to the au thorized limit.
 B. Division of Bureau of Re clamation survey funds on an equ- itable development basis throughout the entire Territory.
 c. Creation of a joint commits sion of Canadians and resident AL askans for power, transportation, and other matters of common inter- est.
 5. A vigorous protest to the De- partment of Interior regarding the cut in road appropriations.

SCHOOL NEWS
By c. L. Anderson. Supt.

One of the largest crowds ever gathered in Wrangell witnessed the annual Christmas program at the Wrangell Public School gym We'd nesday. December 23, 1853. Over 800 people taxed the seating facil- itieS to it's utmost.
 In addition to enthusiastic en- joyment of the Christmas program the patrons were treated to several unscheduled pieces by the school band while the little folk were waiting for Santa Claus. It seems that the lack of snow held the old gentleman up a few moments.
 May I wish each and every one oi you happy and prosperous New Year?

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Governor On Spot

As the fateful year of 1853 drew to a close and eventful 1854 dawn ed, the Alaska scene was being dominated by Republican confusion After approXimatel nine months of office holding they were in the midst of their greatest dissension slnee they split to the grass roots in their historic convention of 1886.
 There was indication that their current troubles stemmed from the same cause although names and plac- s were a bit changed. In '36 il was the then Republican leader AL bert White against what they self termed "black Republicans. This Lme it was Gov. Frank Heintzle- man against a block of Is Republi- cans in Anchorage, some of whom daring the years had gone along with the White camp The situation seemed 10 have a familiar ring, and many a Democrat was celebrating the new year with a satisfied feel ing as the GOPers kept on feuding Democratic odds for victory ill 195i were getting brighter and brighter.
 The Third Divisions , ; stalwart Republicans were charging that Territorial affairs were in the hands of "stateside groups and special interests; that there was lack of strong leadership" and that the Governors office has talk en a negative attitude for a special session."
 They demanded the removal of Robert DeArmond. special assistant 10 the Governor. in favor of rail- belt man; calling Of a special ses- sIon of the Legislature within St days, and a positive stand by the Governor in favor of Alaska state hood. (They demanded some other things. too; see letter elsewhere in today's paper.)
 The Anchorage Times was calling it a popular political revolt" de- ciarfng both Republicans and Demo- prove of turning back the clock of time by the present administration. The Republicans, says the Times, are fighting for the life of their party in the 1854 election" con clusion which no doubt lays the hammer right on the proper nail head.
 Meanwhile, report was to the eff feet that unless the Governor con- piled with some of the Westward Republican demands petition would be headed for Washington skiing his removal

Demos Pointing

As the Republicans were making the welkin ring With their differ einces, the Democrats were prepar- ing for their Territorial convention in Juneau opening January Is. with renewed enthusiasm. They figured if they could get good men to file for office between now and the fin al date of February l, they had better than an even chance to cap- ture control of the next Legislature.

Schwamm Out

Tony Schwamm, the old Wran- gell-Petersburg flier, is calling it quits as Director of the Department Of Aviation which he has headed for the last four years. (See story elsewhere in today's paper.) Tony says he's tired of investigations which have been harassing his de- partment since the Palmer airport case. Actually. Tony was in the bite of the line. Two members of the Commission under which he serves were for him. two against Attor- ney General J. Gerald Williams, the deciding vote, and who serves as chairman of the Aeronautics Com mission. was for a change. He and Tony hadn't seen eye to eye on some things.
 Whatever they might say about Sehwamm, everyone will have to agree that he's huilt more airports in Alaska than it ever had before, and mighty good ones, too.
