POLARS ARE
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Nome basketball fans were
treated to two very fast, exciting
and close games Friday night when
the Merchants were downed by
an exceptionally scrappy and
hard fighting North Star team
and the Polars won over the much
improved Panthers by a marrow
margin of two points, to become
the ’56 57 league champions. Both
games kept the spectators glued
to their seats for it was anyone’s
game all the way.
“Big” Bill Caldwell tallied 18
points to be high • point man of
the evening, to bring the North
Stars out in front over the Mer
chants, 50-45. Other high point
men for the winners were Norm
Atuk 10 and Bob Ellis 6. For the
defeated Merchants and the 2nd
place team of the league it was
Harold Bell 13, Clyde Nershak 11,
Ike Larsen 10, and A1 Sahlin 7.
After forty minutes of fighting
under extreme pressure applied
by the Panthers the Polar green
and white became the undisputed
champions of this year’s basket
ball playing. The hard fighting
Panthers did credit to their name,
but lost by a thio and narrow
margin of two points. High point
men for the champions were Dav
id Bell 12, Bob Herman 12, Tony
Willoya 10, and Sam Mogg 6. For
the Panthers Louie Green 14, Wal
ogorski 14, and Carl Nestvold 12.
Read the Nugget for nwes of the
All Star game to be played soon.
