INDIAN FISHERMEN PRACTICE CONSERVATION AT RAMPART DAM SITE
By Alfred Starr Times Staff Writer

Interior Alaska Indians had many rules and regulations about fishing.
 Long ago Indians made nets from willow bark. They stripped off the bark, made it into strings, and from the strings they made nets.
 At the proposed Rampant Dam site there are two or three places where one could stand on rocks and use dip nets.
 In the old times when there were no canneries, there were great many fish in the Yukon River Each man was allowed to catch two fish. It took about to 10 minutes to catch two king salmon.
 As soon as one dip net fisherman caught his limit, another man took his place. This type of fishing went on 24 hours day during July.
 When fishing was completed, each family's share was about two bales of dried salmon. Each bale weigh ed about 100 pounds. This fish help- ed to supplement the peoples meat supply during the long winter.
 In August, as soon as the fish dried, Indians left the fishing grounds and returned to their vil- lages and camps to hunt game to be dried for the winter.
 In the old days. Interior Alaska was thickly populated. Just a few people from each village went to the fishing site in the Rampant area. A part of each villages popu- lation went to fish camp; the other part remained in the village.
 The people who remained in vil- lages built fish traps and other means to get fish for the winter.

 The two men were released this morning from the Nome Hospital where they have been since being picked up. Both are suffering only from frostbitten noses.
 The two men will stay for a while at King Island village on the outskirts of Nome before returning to their homes on King Island. From sunset to daybreak, during their six days on the ice, the two men found shelter behind wind- break.

| A long time ago, before any o1 us on this earth were born, all the birds were the same color, or more correctly. had no color.
 They were, at that time, sort oi a dirty white" shade.
 Now the Raven always thought he was the greatest bird alive. He always dressed fancy and wore mo- thing but the best. When there was anyone he thought would see him, he would show off so that all other bird people would think he was a big, big chief.
 He tried to give the impression he knew everything and how to do anything.
 One day he was paddling down the Yukon. After some time he saw a village populated with nice look ing young girls, bird girls, of course
 The Raven padded back up the river ways, got out of his canoe and set up camp. At once he start ed to gather other birds around him. They were all young men birds, of course.
 He told them of the village of pretty women farther down the ri- yer and suggested that he paint the boy birds different colors so they would look nice. All the birds agreed that his suggestion was a good idea.
 The Raven painted the birds and gave each one different markings and colors.
 When he finished, he told the birds that it was their turn to paint him. One bird tried. He put g little red here, little yellow there and so on.
 When he was finished, the Raver walked down to a clear pool ano looked in. He looked on this side that side, this way, that way, but it was no use It wasn't good enough After all, he, the Raven, had to be the best painted bird of all.
 Another bird tried and tried his best to please him. But again the Raven was not satisfied. Another bird tried, then another, but the Raven was not pleased.
 This went on and on for about three days and finally all the birds got tired and angry and threw black paint all over him. Of course the birds all ran off and left him there by himself with no one to do anything about the black paint.
 So that is why, to this day, the Raven is black. If one watches him while, one can tell that the Ra- ven still thinks he is very high class bird.

Vikings End
Named Best
NIL Rookie

NEW YORK, Dec. IL (AP)
Paul Flatley, rangy split end
of the Minnesota Vikings, was
named rookie of the year in
the National Football League
today by an Associated Press
panel of AZ writer's and broad
casters.
The 6-foot-1. 187-pound for
mer Northwestern star ranks
eighth among the top pass re-
ceivers in the league in the la
test statistics. He has caught
81 passes for 867 yards and
four touchdowns and is the
only newcomer among the
leaders.
The vikings scouting staff
selected Flatley as the clubs
No. 4 draft choice a year ago
at Chicago. A fullback as a
sophomore, a running halfback
as a junior and a TANKER as a
senior, Flatley was second
among Big Ten receivers,
topped only by Pat Richter,
now of Washington.

Charged-Up SteeIers Say
Bio Pressure Is on Giants

The Giants have been in
volved in many crucial games
en- route to five division titles in
the last six years. But this is
Pittsburgh's biggest game since
it lost a divisional playoff title
to Philadelphia in 1947.
II the Steelers are bothered
by pressure, they're not show

They're a spirited, noisy
gang-joking around constant

snowballS at each other.

pressure at ALL" said Buzz Nut

THE Upton trade is still on" Ehlers
said, but let us send you Pete suder in
stead Of Fox. He's big, strong second
baseman."
Lane refused to switch. He demanded
Fox and got him. Today, after swinging
hundreds of player deals, Lane calls 1t the
best he ever made.
Upton, A CATCHER, has long been
forgotten. He wasn't much receiver or
hitter and later, playing in the minors he
managed to get barred from baseball. Fox
has played 16 seasons in the majors so far,
batting 289, and he holds more records
than he can count.
The story of how Fox was trucked to
the AS camp in 1914 also Is true. Those
were the years when all ball clubs had
been denuded by the military and travel
was restricted Frederick was sorry, snow
bound training camp and the AS were a
sad team, too, and almost anybody who
was breathing was considered a candidate.
When Nellie was born on Christmas
Day, 1927, his old man went out and
bought baseball and two gloves It sounds
like corn, straight from movies like 1.-THE
Stratton Story" or Fear Strikes Out" but
it was the gospel truth. The Foxes, mother
and father, were determined to make their
only child ball player.
MOSTLY, THE AS WERE amused
uhaY1 this Ford fr,nE oYroorad in
with the Fox family, little Nellie periodi-
cally Stabbing himself In the mouth with
the fat cigar. He was carrying baby fat
and had a moon face and there was no
suggestion of the extreme mobility he was
to display later
Old Connie let the kid suit up and he
even played him for few innings in ex-
hibitions, especially when mamma and
papa drove on rationed gas from their
home in st. Thomas, Pa, on week ends to
watch. The adults on the club liked Nellie,
who fancied himself too roly-poly for any
position except first base.
When the time came to trim the roster,
Mr.. Mack shipped the kid to the low minors
and he played in the Interstate and Pony
Leagues until he was old enough to be
drafted by the Army. Then came couple
more years in the bushes.
When he finally was brought up by the
AS he was built sort of like compact
spider with chaw of tobacco in his cheek
and Connie Mack, after watching Nellie in
SO games during 1949, failed to see his
potential. If Fox was the best deal that

Redskins Show
Spirit, Hustle
In Brisk Drill
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Staff Writer

The Redskins have nothing
better to hope for from Sum
days game with the Browns
than a birthplace finish in the
Eastern Division, but their en-
thusiaSm bellies the futility Of
the long, bruising season.
Coach Bill McPeak made
several routine announcements
after yesterdays workout as
casually as If he had no
weightier matters on his mind.
Jim Cunningham probably
will start at fullback because
Don BoSseler feels the pound
ing he took from the Giants,
and Dave Francis may get a
chance to play the same posi-
ton. Defensive Tackle Ron
Snidow will start for Bob Ton
eff, whose back Is bothering
him. Defensive Halfback Dale
Hackbart is still a question
mark because of strained ten
dons in his arch, and If he is
unable to play Dick James will
be used on defense.
Thorough Drill
McPeak and his staff moved
through the days routine with
the same precision and thor
oughness that marked their
preparations for Is previous
games. They divided the squad
into defensive and offensive
units and showed each group
films of the Browns last two
games. They pinpointed Cleve-
land players moves, explaining
how they hoped to take advan-
tage Of the small things they
see.
After the indoor session
those players who hadn't been
tapped went to Trainer Joe Kuc-
20 and had ankles, knees or
midriff swathed in gauze, cot
ton and adhesive tape. They
pulled on "long Johns" to ward
off the wintry wind of an over
cast December day, and with
the usual quips and gibes at
one another headed for the
practice field.
Norman Snead and George
Izo took turns throwing passes,
the type McPeak expects Cleve-
land to use Sunday. Frank
Budd, Bill Anderson, Bobby
Mitchell, Fred Dugan and
James took turns catching
them as defensive backs tried
to familiarize themselves with
the Browns patterns.
Dull, Boring Business
Over in q corner linemen
were banging UP against the
ari.colored blocking sled,
practicing stances, trap plays
and everyday blocking assign
ments. It was dull, boring BUSH
ness. but they hit with vigor.
At a signal from McPeak the
entire squad assembled at the
far end of the field and ran
through a series of plays. The
players moved quickly, ran
hard and seemed to get q
charge out Of it.
BY actual count some 16 on
lockers watched from the ada
cent slope or the warm comfort
Of parked cars. They had to be
impressed by the spirit Of a
team that has produced every
thing but the desired end re-

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
$500 Kept Senators
From Fox Deal in 194o

WHERE DO YOU BEGIN a story on
Nellie Fox, who popped up in the news
when he was traded to Houston by the
White Sox? When his mother and dad
drove their precocious 16-year-old In q
truck to the Philadelphia AS wartime
training camp at Frederick, Nd, with the
kid putting on big cigar?
When one Of the Great Brains Of base
ball, Connie Mack, touted another Hall of
Famer, Clark Griffith, off buying Fox for
$500, which was the waiver price in 1919?
When Fox was voted the most valuable
player in the American League in 1882
Day before yesterday when the con-
tending Sox admitted to his years and
SWapped him to team like Houston, where
he presumably will play out his remaining
days, like Skowron with the Senators, Ad-
COCK with the Angels and other one-time
World Series stars?
Or do you lament that Fox, so close to
becoming Senator IA years ago, never
played for Washington and thus deprived
the fans here of comparing Big Three of

AS THE STORY is told, Clark Grit
fifth spotted Fox's name on the Athletics
waiver list and put in a claim. In tele-
phone conversation with Connie Mack,
who owned the AS, the Old Fox was told:
CLARK, save your money He's small
and not very fast and he won't hit much,
You must have infielders in your farm sys-
TEN who'll do better"
"The story is true" testifies Calvin
Griffith, heir to the Senators who are now
the Twins 1.-THE only part challenge is
the telephone call. Actually, I was in our
office that day in 1949 when Mr.. Mack
dropped in for visit with my uncle and
told him not to claim Fox.
They weren't millionaire owners, Mr.
Mack and my uncle. The waiver price. even
$500, was lot of money to them. MIR.
Mack was fooled badly by Fox; otherwise.
he'd have kept him or urged Mr.. Griffith
to buy him because of their close friend

AS IT TURNED OUT, Frank Lane
wound up with Fox in October, 1949. Lane
was general manager of the White Sox and
he remembered the little infielder from

Davidson and Vandy Stay Cage GoIiaths
Ohio State,

Upset Victims
By the Associated Press

It was a Black Wednesday
for Duke, Arizona State and
Ohio State, three Of the top
ranked teams in college basket
ball. They tumbled in defeat
before Vanderbilt, Bradley and
Davidson.
Only Michigan's victory over
Butler prevented a complete
rout of the top-ranked clubs
scheduled to play on a busy
midweek n a tionaI program.
The Seventh-ranked Wolver-
ines raised their record to 40
with an 1910 victory.
Vandy similarly made its rec
ord 40 with a 1892 triumph
over third-ranked Duke. So did

fourth-ranked Sun Devils, o.

clean at 40 with a whopping
95-73 triumph that shattered a
50-game home-court streak for
eighth-ranked Ohio State.
Vanderbilt, rated q title
threat in the Southeastern
Conference, blew a 16-point
lead at Nashville when Duke
rallied to tie the regulation
game at 1886 on Jeff Mullins
Jump shot with four seconds
left. But John Ed Miller broke
loose for 10 points in the over
time and Sewed it up for the
Commodores after the score
was knotted at $3.50.
Arizona State also lost on
the road at Peoria, blowing q
44-35 halftime lead as Bradley
got hot in the second half.
1t remained for Davidson,
heralded as the Southern Con-
ference championships, to
provide the nights biggest sur
