I WO BITS ANYWHERE IN HALL
t'ho management of the basketball
game next Friday night has decided
to change the price of admission to
twenty-five cents for everybody, any
»uere in the nail. The ladies have
practiced hard for the game, and it
is to be hoped that local pride will
u.iiig out a good big crowd. At the
game n. Wrangell, the Ketchikan
team wa» altogether too much for
the Wrangell ladies, but the latter
have strengthened their lineup since,
so a spirited contest is assured.
In addition to the game between the
ladies teams, teams captained by
Lawrence Kubley and Dale Hunt will
play. Kubley’s aggregation has been
dubbed the Never Wasers, while
Hunt’s of course are the “lias
Beens”. The lineup of these teams
will be as follows:
Hunts Position Kubley’s
Rockefeller Forward Erickson
Stackpole Forward Radenbaugh
Talbot Center Dalgetty
DeBar Guard Kubley
Hunt Guard Drake
Dalgetty is the wonderful center
of the champion Wrangell team, and
is a whole host in himself. Talbot
and DeBar are two good players, and
will strengthen Hunt’s team mater
ially. Two good games are thus as
sured.
