Basketball Season Gets
Off to Flying Start Friday;
Two More Games Tuesday
Last Friday night in the school
gym local fans saw two exciting
basketball games in the opener
of the winter series.
In the first game the newly
organized North Stars showed
much promise as they held their
own fairly well against the more
experienced Merchants for the
first three quarters. However,
lacking reserve strength they
could not keep up with the high
flying Merchants in the final
quarter and went down to defeat
by the lopsided score of 50 to 29.
For the Merchants Isaac Larsen
Louis Kost, Harold Bell and Arnie J
Castel scored 15, 10, 10 and 8 j
points respectively. For the North
Stars Bill Caldwell was the high
point man with 16 and Roy Luke
was second with 6.
In thncgdame oese ar6I plaqu
The second game, between the
Polar Hornets and the Air Force
Panthers, was close all the way
with the Hornets holding a slight
edge. Quarter scores were: 12-11,
22-20, 36-33. and the final 44-39.
Both teams were evenly matched
but the well organized Hornets
won out in the end.
High men for the Hornets were
Bob Herman and Tony Willoya
with 19 and 10. For the losers
the scorers were: Carl Nestvold 9,
Bill Green 9, Roland Jones 8,
Louis Green 7, and Walligorski 6. (
Tomorrow, Tuesday night, two j
more games are to be played The
first at 7:30 pits the North Stars ■
against the Air Force Panthers,
and in the second game at 8:45
the High School Nanooks will
take the floor for the first time
this year and play the Polar Hor
nets. Both games should provide
thrills for the most avid basket
ball fans.

Third B-52 Bomber This Year j
Crashes in California; 10 Killed
CASTLE AFB, Calif., WV-A gi
ant sweptwing B-52, the Air
Force’s biggest A-bomb carrier,
crashed in a “streak of fire” Sat
urday night killing all 10 men j
aboard.
Planes of the same design just
the week before completed non- J
stop flights long enough to have
taken them over Russia and back.
The eight-jet cigar-nosed air
plane was taking off from this
California Strategic Air Commatld
base when it suddenly smashed
into a plowed field some four
miles north of Merced and about
150 miles south of San Francisco.
“We saw one huge flash about
a mile away and just before it hit
the ground we saw another ex
plosion,” s^id Alfred B. Stockman,
one of two men from the base
who were in a car near the crash
site.
“It hit the earth flat and
bounced and then it went on over
another three-quarters of a mile,
over the road; then it hit again
and it really exploded,” the ser
geant added.
Robert G. Joiner, the other sol
dier, recalled exclaiming; “My
God, I believe it’s falling,” as he
and Stockman looked up when |
the noise of the jets sounded j
strange.
Glen Towers, a Merced County j
fireman and one of the first on the |
scene, told a newsman the plane
had completely disintegrated, that j
“you couldn’t find a part big1
enough to hold a body.”
He reported seeing at the site a
streak of fire for about two miles
and wreckage scattered over a
three-mile area.” Nine burned
bodies were in one group, he said,
while the 10th was near the spot
the plane first hit.
It was the third and worst fatal
B-52 crash in California this year.
In February, one crashed near
Tracy, killing four. A September
crash near Madera took five lives.
The control tower reported the
plane's pilots had not contacted it,
indicating whatever happened oc
curred too fast to seek aid.
The 200-ton, $8VS million ship
normally carries a crew of six but
instructors increased the comple
ment on training missions such as
this one.
