Few PIayoff Places
Remain Unsettled
In Interhigh Race
By Bob Hanson

Two weeks from To-Day regular
play will wind up in the Inter-
high Basketball League and
look at the standings above gives
an indication of the four teams
likely to make the playoffs in
each division.
The first three teams in the
East Division are assured spots.
The remaining berth will be a
toss-up between Eastern, Tech
and Chamberlain.
In the West Division, cardozo
is in. Roosevelt, Dunbar, Cool
idge and Wilson. defending
champion, will fight it out for the
other three positions.
Armstrong left no doubt about
its place with it's fifth straight
in the league and 10th straight
for the season by handily de-
feating Eastern, 51-38, in the
opener of a double-header at
Tech last night. Anacostia sub
dued a stubborn Tech team. 81
As, in the second game.
Spingarn, Roosevelt Win.
In the afternoon games in the
league, Spingarn and Roosevelt
each had a romp, Spingarn Win
ming over Phelps, 1884, and
Roosevelt easily disposing OF
Bell, 55-32.
The week of February 81
. through 26 has been set aside
for extra games in the event OF
ties for a playoff position.
Playoffs will begin Monday,
February %. Quarter-finals will
be held the following day. March
/: semi finals Thursday. March
8. and finals Friday, March 4
The opening days games will
be the first place finisher in the
East Division against the fourth
place finisher in the West Divi-
sion and the third-place finisher
in the East Division against the
second place finisher in the
West Division.
All games of the champion
ship playoffs will be held at
Tech High, the first game set
for 7:30 pm.
Eastern Puts Up Fight.
Armstrong ran into a surpris-
ingly strong Eastern team and
for the first two periods could
gain only a 27-33 lead. Then the
Generals, third in The Stars rat
ings, opened up in the third
quarter to pull away for good.
Charley jenkins, 6-foot-3, did
most of the damage to the Ramb7
lers. jenkins, mostly on tap-insl
had 10 points to bring his total
for the five league games to 81,
high for the league. Buddy
Lewis had IL for Eastern.
Anacostia and Tech played 1t
close right down to the last four
minutes when Anacostia took a
lead it held to the end.
Tech held a 1895 edge with
six minutes remaining. Don
Rhine of Anacostia tied it up.
1899, on two field goals with
four minutes left. Calvin Knott
then hit for two more plus two
foul shots and the Indians were
home.
Bob Johnson was high for the
Indians with 13, Knott had IL
and Rhine 10. Bob Bordeau had
IA for Tech and Dennis Torboli
IL.
Spingarn emptied its bench
and all 10 who got into the game
scored with Tony Washington
finishing with 20. Phelps sorely
missed Ben Warley, it's 6-foot-5
rebounder and top scorer, who is
out with the flu.
Roosevelt in command
throughout, also used it regulars
sparingly. Dick Preziotti had 16
points for Roosevelt and Sam
Cheri 13 for Bell to lead their
respective teams.

Sticks to One Make
And what car do you think the
safest driver drives? BY coinci-
dence that seems designed to
make the heart of a Studebaker
executive go pit-a-pat. Mr..
Gouirand has always driven
Studebakers. He bought one of
the first electric cars the COM
pany made. soon after he came
to the United States in 1905.
And he got that speeding
ticket shortly after.
But Studebaker determined to
ignore the slur and presented
Mr.. Gouirand with a new 1856
model because he is the Oldest
living continuous Studebaker
driver.
The safest driver is hale and
hearty in his seventh decade and
still racks up between $4,000 and
10000 miles a year. AS yet he
shows no sign of strain in try
ing to live up to the title that
implies he is more virtuous-or
luckier-than most of us who
tool our jalopies around the Ma
tons HIGHWAYS.

right now that Americas SAT-

recalls it:
"I was driving my electric
Studebaker down fabulous
Fifth avenue in 1905. A cop
reared up on his bicycle and
waved me over to the side. He
gave me a ticket for exceeding
the speed limit by two miles an
hour. I was doing five miles and
the limit was only three.
Got License in Paris
"And that, so help me, was the
only ticket I ever got"
Mr.. Gouirand was born in
France and got one of the first
drivers licenses issued in Paris.
The minimum age was Is, but
since he worked for an engineer
in the infant automotive in
dustry. somebody swung a little
weight and got him under the
wire.
Today Mr.. Gouirand is himself
an automotive engineer, with 80
patents to his credit. He is a
pioneer in the air suspension
field and heads a company that
produces compressed-air sus-

conventional springs in cars and
trucks.

was hung on Mr.. Gouirand by

that the fact that Russia was

The Nome nugget., 1955-01-21
By JIM HUTCHINSON AP Legislative Correspondent

In contrast to most legislatures in the States, the job of raising more revenues will not be a ma jor one facing Alaska lawmakers when they open their 22nd regu- lar session at Juneau Monday.
 With a surplus in the treasury, increases in motor fuel taxes and truck fees have been the only ones considered seriously in the legislators pre- session discus sions. They have won support as means of getting increased funds for road work in the terri tory.
 The Legislative Council sug- gested both increases. Both were booted around in the last session, too, and then pigeonholded. The heaviest guns leveled on the pro- posed increases came then-and are coming now-from the truck ing interests who complain that they already are operating in the face of government subsidized railroad competition under the continents toughest trucking con- ditions.
The Nome nugget., 1955-01-21
22nd Legislature Will Have The
 Most Possession Preparation

There has been more advance groundwork for the session this time than before previous ones. The first factor in that situation is the Legislative Council. It is the first time that such a body has made a thorough study of legislative problems between ses- sions and prepared specific sug- gestions. Another factor is the many conferences that have been held by legislators in their various divisions, in which representa- tives of various groups have been called in to lay their problems and opinions on the table.
 Other major problems on which the council made specific recom- mendations included government reorganization, revision of the handling of juvenile cases and revision of the laws for public improvement districts in the areas which have grown up outside city limits.
 A government reorganization bill is almost certain of passage Both Democrats and Republicans have expressed dissatisfaction
The Nome nugget., 1955-01-21

with the present system. A re- organizat ton bill was rushed thru in the closing hours of the 1851 session, but it was dumped on legal grounds. The legislators considered a couple of bills on the problem last session but pig eonholed them until the Legisla- tive Council, set up by the 1853 legislature, could give more ex- tensive study to the problem than a crowded 60-day session allowed.
 Statehood, too, will be big subject. Legislation will be in troduced for the calling of a statehood constitutional conven- tiQp to lay the groundwork for future statehood At least one legislator has announced his in tention also of asking for another statehood referendum to get a clear indication of the voters. The last one was held in 1946.
 There also is sure to be sharp memorial addressed to Congress to express the legis- lators' dissatisfaction with the na- tional administrations stand on Alaska statehood.
 Another subject of top interest will be the report of. the Investi- gating and Examining Committee set up by the Republicans in 1853 to look into operation of terri torial agencies and departments. It has been completed but not re- leased.
 A long list of appointments by Republican Gov Heintzleman must come before the Democratic dominated legislature for con- firmation. That, too, is always q field in which the sparks can fly.
 Legislative action to try to bol- ster the depleted fund from which unemployment benefits are paid is another top problem. There will be dozens of others on major and~minor subjects, too, and it won't be long before they start to fly.
