 Ahgnalook asked if any man would go out with him to the water hole. The hunters all refused, but he went ahead and made a spear which was large enough to kill a whale. When he was ready Ahgna. look headed north to the water hole. He didn't intend to listen to the people.

 When he reached the water hole. It had not changed in appearance. but had been used. The remains of the seal lungs he had seen were still the same. He then waited for the creature to come up. He found this water hole where there was no lead.
 While Ahgnalook was standing there, soomething started to surface. When the creature partially sur- faced he found it was an enormous polar bear. As the bear surfaced. he saw the man standing there and started growing.
 The hole was too small for the entire body of the bear to surface, so the polar bear started to crack the ice around him. After cracking the ice, the polar bear, Kokogiak, surfaced up to his neck. Speared Eyes
 Ahgnalook began to spear the creature on the neck. but it was too tough. While he attempted to kill the polar bear it surfaced up to the shoulders Ahgnalook thought 1 of what he should do
 He started the spear the eyes of the creature. He took both of the bears eyes out, but the bear didnt give up. It just kept on cracking the ice until finally the arms of the polar bear appeared, and he thought to himself, If I spear the polar bear under the arms, I might succeed because they are soft spotS." Tough Hide His spear couldn't penetrate the skin under the arms Then thu next pair of arms appeared. When the entire body began to surface, Ahg- nalook started to run toward the crack in the iceberg for protection. When the bear finally surfaced on the ice: it started tracking Ahgna- look by sensing his tracks.
 The bear had no eyes but his sense of smell was keen. Ahgnalook saw the iceberg but the polar bear wos closing in on him. He ran with ."ll he was worth. with the polar bear close behind him. He finally reached the crack in the iceberg and went through the passage in it, hoping the bear would wedge l itself between the crack in the iceberg.
 Bear Trapped
 The Polar bear became Wedged but kept hopelessly attempting to break loose so it could continue to chase Ahgnalook. The attempt was futile. The bear tired himself and finally stopped.
 Ahgnalook went around the ice. berg and approached the polar bear from the rear. The only weak place he could thing of was the lower intestinal tract and he rammed his spear repeatedly until blood flowed out in great amounts. Finally the polar bear died from loss of blood.
 And so through the courage or Ahgnalook the danger to the people of Point Barrow was removed when the brave hunter killed the man. moth ten-legged polar bear.

BY WILLIAM MORRIS

ok" or "Okay," the ex-

full Of all Americanisms," is
once again the focal point of
controversy among the Ian

years most authorities have
agreed that the first recorded
use Of ok" was In the 1910
campaign Of James Van Buren,
for the Presidency. Known as
the 'Klnderhook Fox" from his
birthplace at Kinderhook, N. Y,
Van Buren and his supporters

Opening lead: Diamond five.
An expert would win with the
ace Of diamonds and would run
five rounds Of trumps, discard
ing low hearts and q low dia-
mond from the dummy. Then
he would start the clubs, hop
ing to catch somebody in
a squeeze at the 18th trick.
I'm not snickering at this
line Of play, but neither am I
doffing my hat and bowing
low. The simple play Of ruffing
one club in dummy is probably
Just as good.
If you're a simple, practical
soul just rely on being able to
ruff the third round of clubs
in the dummy without being
over ruffed.
BY the way, where did you
decide TO win the first diamond
trick? II you don't come up
with the right answer you may
be simple, but you're not so
practical.
Wrong Answer
See what happens If you win
the first trick with the ace of
diamonds. Lead a club to the
king, and return a club, losing
the Jack to Vests ace. West
returns a diamond to dummy's
king.
Cash the ace Of hearts and
ruff a heart. Now lead the low
club and ruff with dummy's
eight Of spades. Draw a round
Of trumps with dummy's queen,
and all you need is to get back
to your hand to draw trumps.
But you can't get back. II
you lead a third heart, East In
serts the nine Of spades to force
out a high trump from your
hand. West will eventually get
a trump trick.
Now try the right answer
Win the first trick with the
king Of diamonds, lead the king
of clubs and continue with an
other club to force out the ace
When a diamond comes back
you're In your hand - Just
where you want to be to ruff
the low club in dummy.

launched night baseball for the big leagues
in Cincinnati. He took over a bankrupt
Dodgers franchise before World War II,
converted 1t into solvent, money-making
corporation and also brought Brooklyn its
first pennant in 81 years in l94l.
This guy deserves to be listened TO.
The records show his biggest failure was
his abortive scheme TO kidnap Kaiser VIII

with more daring kidnap.

SKGH AT LARGE

IN THE 16 YEARS since he thumbed
himself out of the game, Larry MacPhail
has had very little to do with baseball ex-
eept to think about it. He thinks It's in a
helluva mess.
MacPhail, as you may or may not
know, is not a silent thinker. When he was
operating the Yankees and before that the
Dodgers and Reds he never kept anything
to himself. He was no different the other
evening in Cleveland, where he had come
for the annual All-Star encampment.
- His presence, along with that of an
other wonderful non-conformist, Casey
Stengel, lifted the pre-game hoedown out
of the boredom that visited the game it
self the next day. Unfortunately, MacPhail
and Stengel did not have active roles in
. the game. They would have helped more
than some of the players.
