derson's main problems has been
finding the right combination.
All the important players are
I6-footers or better. There's Ju-
Illus (Hooks) Mccoy, for example,
6-foot-2, who set a school scor-
ing record as a sophomore and
who did almost as we'll last year
as a junior. Like all the players,
he's fast. In fact, he's on the
track team as a sprinter.
| The center, Duane Peterson, is
Il -foot-6K. He has a soft hook
shot and naturally is the teams
leading rebounder. The sub GEN.
ter. Max Gonzenbach, is 6-foot-8
and another who works the same
position, Charles Bencie, is g.
foot-6. Jack Quiggle, a high
scoring guard, stands 6-foot-3.
One Of Anderson's main OBJ
jectives was to get more balance
on the team. with more scoring
from the guards. 1t apparently
has worked out that way. Nc
Coy is the big scorer to date, but
the others have been popping

In Loss to CeItics
BY the Associated Press

In their seven years in the
National Basketball Association,
the Minneapolis Lakers never
have finished worse than second
in their division. But like all
dynasties, the LakerS will crack
and to all appearances this is
the year.
The Lakers currently are in
last place in the Western Di-
vision, three full games behind
Rochester. Further, the Lakers,
for the first time since they've
been IN the league. dropped their
fourth straight game to q single
team last night when they were
beaten by Boston, 115-112.
The Celtics hit for 40 points
in the third period after trailing
almost from the start.
The Fort Wayne Pistons
halted the New York Knicker-
bockers. 92-87. and the Syracuse
Nationals defeated the Rochester
Royals. 11l-96. in other games.

ABOUT MILTON EISENHOWER

There has been considerable speculation about pos sibe candidates for the Republican nomination for President next year Among those mentioned has been pr. Milton Eisenhower, the Presidents youngest brother.
 One reason some people have suggested pr. Eisen- hover might be candidate is the fact that President Eisenhower regards him so highly The President is known to have told many callers that Milton is the Smartest member of the Eisenhower family and that he is the who should be filling the job President Eisenhower now has.
 Another reason why there is speculation about Dr. Eisenhower the fact that prominent Republicans some of them members of the US. Senate-have called for removed from partisan politics and with personal history which would appeal to both Repub and Democratic voters. Dr. Milton Eisenhower apparently would not be considered radical or rabdy partisan Republican candidate.
 Although we cannot make any prediction the political abilities of Dr. Eisenhower who is presi- dent of Pennsylvania State University it would appear that he might be strong candidate.
 If President Eisenhower gave his full support to his brother and acted senior adviser to the Repub- 1ican Party the Eisenhower name might still have much the appeal, and Dr. Milton Eisenhower might not be as objectionable to factions in the Republican Party and in the Democratic Party, as other candidates which have been mentioned

We MustEncOurage Alaska's Economic D evelOpm ent

FAIRBANKS, LR - Alaskans were urged yesterday by Cover nor Heintzleman to concentrate their efforts on encouraging the territory's economic development.
 Speaking at the opening of a 2-day conference of the Alaska Chamber of Commerce, the gover- nor also urged work toward get ting for the territory "a satisfac- tory share" of the predicted popu- lation growth of the United States.
 For it's best economic develop ment, he said, Alaska should be included in the federal aid road act; federal regulations on muni- cipal bonded indebtedness should be relaxed and adequate cheap water transportation should be developed in southeast Alaska.
 Heintzleman said the Census Bureau has predicted that the population of the United States will reach 200 million by 1970.
 we can be sure," he added, that satisfactory share of the increase will come to Alaska if we prepare for it by acquiring good knowledge of the resources we have here that can be devel- oped, and if we agressively tackle problems that tend to discourage private enterprise from coming to Alaska. Citing what he described as the amazing growth of north ern Canada, the governor said AL askans are failing to do something to stimulate similar development in the territory.
 We want to be sure," he said, i've all work on the same proj- ects at the same time-that is, pinpoint our efforts on one or a few projects at a time until we get results and then move along to something else that needs atten- ton or looks promising"
 He told the group that com munities need to be free of the federal bonded indebtedness linn itation to permit installation ot community facilities in advance ot the prospective population in- crease.o
