 The center is a special-purpose tax-supported institution of the Michigan Crippled Children Com mission. Federal funds have been made available through the US Children's Bureau since 1855 for eligible patients.
 Steven arrived at the amputee center for examination of his con- dition last January, accompanied | by Dr. Jack K. LeSh, chief of the Alaska State Division of Pub lie Health.
 Steven is able to walk on the fire-damaged leg stumps," says Van Andel. "It isn't good gait but he can get around by him. self"
 The boy was admitted for sur gerry, prosthesis fitting and train ing late last February.
 T don't think he's too far from discharge" Van Andel says. There's reasonable chance that he will be home by the end of August"
 Home is Kipnuk, Alaska, a tiny Indian village some 40 miles west of Anchorage and just inland from Etolin Strait.
 Records show that before Steven came under Alaska Public Health care he was given by his father in an Eskimo adoption to one couple, who died, and then to ( second set of foster parents. It i: unclear at present who has juris. diction.
 It was neither the air trip that brought him here nor the great distance that most impressed Ste ven. He was fascinated by an es- calator at an air terminal, accord ing to Dr.. Lesh, and managed to wangle ride after ride on the nov. ing stairs.

WITH THE HIGH SCHOOLS
DeMatha's Record Exceeds
Wootten's Expectations
BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

Morgan Wo6tten chuckles
along with his friends about his
past career as a basketball
player. However, Morgan's rec
ord as a coach at DeMatha
High School has won him wide
recognition.
Wootten described himself as
a defensive ace" during his
playing days at Montgomery
Blair High School. Since those
days, his. reputation has
changed drastically.
Friends who get together
with Morgan for impromptu
games now say they have one
rule: Cut for the rebound after
you pass the ball to Morgan,
because you know he's going to
shoot.
Wootten's basketball teams
at DeMatha have won 1866
games and lost 38 since the for
mer st. Johns assistant took
over at the Hyattsville school
in 1856.
The best mark recorded was
by the l960-6l team, 26-l. The
current five has a 25-4 record
and a chance to compile the
third best mark during Woot-
tens reign. The second best
was last years 1913 log.
-
Wootten describes his cur
rent team as the "b S t.
balanced" squad he has had at
DeMatha. In previous years,
the Stays always were led by
an outstanding player-Ernie
Cage, John Herbert, John Jones
and John Austin.
For example, Jim Mcbride is
the Stays leading scorer, Tom
Colliflower the leading re-
bounder and Joe Kennedy the
top defensive player. Bernard
Williams, a sophomore, and
Brendon Mccarthy, the other
two starters, are close behind
in all departments. And Re-
serve Jim Acton has come off
the bench on many occasions
to provide a scoring lift.
Coach Wootten honestly ad-
mits he didn't think this years
club would be as good as 1t has
turned out to be. He points to
the number of underclassmen
on the starting five Kennedy ),
