According to dispatches from China, the victory of the forces of Chiang Kai-Shek at Chungsha may be the turning-point in the war. Gradually the Chinese forces have been gaining strength and the defence of the Burma Road lias not been very difficult. The fact that the Chinese army was able to threaten the invaders of Hong! Kong indicates that they were a formidable foe but there seemed to be then as formerly a lack of air force sufficient to cope with the enemy. The Chinese have been much inspirited by the choice of Chiang Kai-Shek as-leader of the joint forces in that area. It has shown the Chinese that they are not now fighting alone but have with them several of. the mos; powerful of the world powers. Four Great Men . . . Great nations must be well led. It seems now that the Allies fighting Germany are well led. Commencing with Winston Churchill, who is generally recognized as an outstanding personage, we then have President Roosevelt, whose recent address to congress was received by friend and foe as the utterance of a man who really represents the nation just now. Then comes Stalin who was the first' to show the Allies; how to win in a big way. Chiang Kai-Shek is the fourth great man and some might say the first. All stand before the public today as men of achievement. The greatness of Roosevelt is chiefly shown in the manner nr which he has led his neople in such a manner as to keep them in unity under very dif- ncuit conditions. Do a little More ... Most Prince Rupert people are' doing something to meet the war pressure. Many pay a good-sizel income tax, contribute voluntarily to' various war services and buy bonds or war certificates. All this is trood work, and those w ho do it are worthy of all praise. Yet it must) be remembered that Prince Rupert benefits to a very great extent from the spending of all the monev that is contributed at this point. The income tax builds the ships and provides the- payroll. It also provides the money that builds and1 keeps up the Seal Cove centre. ' The war has brought about better price for fish and the building of houses which will be the basis for an increase in' the population of the city. If we imagine to ourselves what Prince Rupert would be like if it fell into the hands of the Japanese or the Germans', we can see that we should spare no effort to hold what we have. We should! not then allow ourselves to make money during this period but use all our energies and spare cash to help win the war. Make it an all-out war! If you have something to sell, a classified advertisement in this paper will soon let you know if there is a r buyer in the city. JUBILEE OF "CRIBBAGE BASKETBALL; FIXTURES Invented By Canadian With Peach Baskets And Bright Ideas, Game lias Seen Many Changes By CLAIR. BEE NEW YORK, Jan. 8: O Fifty years ago a young Canadian-born teacher in New England gathered his physical education class around him, pointed to peach baskets hanging at either end of the gymnasium, and told the 18 students about a new game. The new game was basketball. Dr. James A. Nalsmith had dreamed it up as a means of interesting students in physical exercise, as a game that could be . played by the average student. "Dr. Nalsmith was born in Almonte, Ontario, graduated from McGill University. Montreal and died November 28, 1939. at the age of 78). In 1942, basketball's golden jubilee year, about 100,000,000 people in Canada and the- United States will watch the game played by teams representing more than 1900 colleges, high schools and countless miscellaneous organizations. They won't see the same game. But what they see will be a game which, despite all the technical Improvements of the last 50 years still retains most of the basic features Dr. Nalsmith- outlined' that first day. Gone Technical Modern basketball ' is highly technical. In contrast to the original contest, in which the players assembled madly and without a semblance of planned attack or defence, teams today may use one or more of various systems offensive and defensive each of which has scores of variations. There's the quick break offence, for instance. Ifs a highly refined version of what happened on that day in Springfield grab the ball, and whip it forward toward your basket. There's the set offence, a deliberate system in which the offensive team calmly brings" the ball up the floor, attempting to carry a signalled play through step by step for a score. Then there's the eastern or professional offence, by which the ball is advanced deliberately with players depending on individual resourcefulness to map out scoring plays as situations develop. Chief defensive systems are. In the U. S. modern1 play, zone and man-for-man. A third, the pressing defence, is in Itself an offence. Rhodey's Game In the Rhode Island State gymnasium the basketball scoreboard Is rigged up to take! care of. scoring totals which run to three figures: That isn't just wishful thinking. They often use all three figures when. Coach Frank Keaney's outfit is moving in high gear. Playing Connecticut two years ago Second Half of Season About to Commence First Games Nest Monday.

VVATCn YOUR MAILING There are seven towns in the United States named Harvard; 24 named Princeton and elgm, named Yale. and both teams were undefeated prior to this game Rhode Island piled up a score of 102-81. The Rhode Islanders didn't do it with mirrors. Unbelievably they do It with a defence. They call it a "pressing defence." And it is pressing. Rhode Island for instance used the- 260-pound son of Coach Keaney to retrieve from the backboard. When he came down with the ball he swished it almost without looking at a spot near the far basket and one of his teammates usually hit that spot about the same time as the ball.
