CONTfHOPES TO SHOW OFF IN THE U. S, PARIS, Feb 4.—"1 never seemed to he able to get going right In the United States.” said Roger Conti, after winning the 18.2 billiard cham pionship of France, with a grand average of 69.4 4 for 2.500 points and an unfinished run of 477, two world's records for tournament play. Conti’s performances in America were: Chicago, 1921, finished fourth with average of 28.60; New York, 1922, third with 30.06; New York, 1923, lasl with 16.50. The young French player wus somewhat chagrined because of the pessimism with which his perform ances here have been greeted in America. “1 have a good many years of bil liards ahead of me.” said the 23-year old French champion philosophically. "Perhaps 1 may yet he able to show the Americans thut I can play bil liards. If I don't do it this year, well, there are other years coming.” KETCHIKAN WINS SECOND GAME OF SERIES 34 TO 20, GIVING IT TWO STRAIGHT SCHOOL CAGERS AND KETCHIKAN CLASH TONIGHT i The fast traveling Juneuu High| School cage team, undefeated in its' last five appearances, will be sent j in to night tfgalnst the Ketchikan town team, undisputed senior cham pions of Southeastern Alaska, it was announced today. This will be the i last appearance of the visiting team here this season. This contest, will be the toughest one for the local student squad this season. It has in its favor sururb physical condition and speed. Light- , er than the visitors, it has developed • a fine floor game and a corking good i defense. Whether or not these tilings will be enough to overcome the handicap of the visiting team's superior experience and acknow ledged heter markmanship remains to be proven. The game will be I staged at A. 11, Hall, starting at 8 p. m. promptly. Coach Baker had not announced 1 his lineup at noon today. He will probably start Beterson, Ellengln, Oarnlck, Orsen, Conners, Herring, I Halm and Orme. Ketchikan is ex pected to use the five men who have played both games aguinst the loc al town team, although Manager ( Swift may give both Taylor and In- ) man a chance to get into the game, j Juneau's hoop team was outstayed (and outplayed again last night by the Ketchikan snipers who, aftei !trailing the first half, laid down ; j barrage of passes, dribbles and : shots in the final period which | broke the local’s defenses and Ket chikan won the second game of the 'series 34 to 3D. As was the cast ! Monday night in toe opening game, jthe superior condition and better I teumplay of, the visitors was the deciding factor. 1 lty winning lust night's game 1 Ketchikan proved itself champion of jthe amateur teams of Southeastern Alaska, having already defeated liMetlakatla and Wrangell. It is a I fast team and it is doubtful if there •is any team in the Territory today [that could take a three-game series : from it. Manning and Garn Star. Maiming and Garn starred last night. The latter led bis team in | scoring, caging six goals from I scrimmage. Manning got five, j Swank’s battle sights got slightly I out of line and he didn’t locate the j target with the same degree of ac curacy as be showed In the opening ] contest. He played a splendid floor jgame, however, and his accurate | passing made it possible for both (Manning and Garn to score on sev leral occasions. Peterson played a fine running game and spoiled many plays for the loculs. The team again worked with the precision of ja well-oiled machine, particularly in jthe second half. Locals Start Strong. ! But even with all of its team work and the deadly lnarkmanshlp I of Manning and Garn, who were the Big Berthas of the visitors, Ketchikan might have been unable to stave off dereat H the Juneau team had been in good physical condition. It showed plainly the lack of training necessary to put it into trim fur such u contest as the visitors put up. And that is offered as no alibi. The local red jerseyeil five started out like winners. Por the first half they kept ahead of the visitors by clever playing of Individual players rather than teamplay. Campen scored the first goal of the game within two minutes after the fray began. He was leading point getter for the locals, caging five from the [field. Baker, at running guard, Cashen as safety man and Campen showed up best for Juneau and put up a first class game. In the first half Sperling at center more than [ held his own ugainst Manning, but j he couldn’t last the game. Mue Spadden, who worked his regular [shift at the A-.I mill yesteriluy, was way below form. Brown was George, who were used as substi tutes, seemed unable to get started. In the opening half Juneau caged seven baskets from scrimmage, for 14 points. Ketchikan got five fields and two on free throws. Locals Falter. Juneau, witu a narrow two-point margin to work on at the begin ning of the second ’half, faltered before the savage offensive of the visitors. Manning, Guru and Swank, in a tremendous burst of speed, carried the hall through the local line time after time and caged the sphere lrom all angles and dis tances . Six of the, 1} goals made by the visitors In the last half were shot from outside the goal zone, Garn getting three of them. The local five fought desperately to check the speedy visitors and tried hard to stage attacks of their own but couldn’t make the grade. Theli shooting was poor and many chances to score were muffed, misse being due partly to over anxiety and r partly to the close checking of the Ketchikan guards. The locals scored three Held goals and Ketchikan 11 in the Anal half. Lineup and Summary. Juneau Pos. Ketchikan MacSpadden ( 2 ) F.. (6>Gurn Cainpen(5) F.
