N OISEM AKERS & PARTY HATS
AT CAVOTA'S
ANB, Nat. Guard
Fight to Victory
In Holiday Tilts
Last Saturday evening local ■
basketball fans were treated to a
■pair of well fought exhibition
contests that had the ANB five
beating back the High School
squad by the count of 35-27 and
the National Guard subduing the
All-Star club 44-39. -
In the opening tilt the Larsen
Brothers, again led their squad to
victory as Ike hit for 12 and Pete
for 11 in the ANB’s winning ef
fort. The game was a well played
and clean affair with the High
School committing but five fouls
and the winners but nine.
Johnny Herman carried most of
the scoring punch for the High
School with 10 points as the losers
kept close throughout. In the
third quarter, Ralph Sheldon
caught fire temporarily with three
quick baskets as he showed both
a good eye and floor game.
The National Guard’s traveling
squad played one of their better
games when they knocked off the
All-Star Squad in the second con
test. George Bell led the winners
with a hot first half and a total
of 16 points for the night while
Bill Caldwell came through with
some good work under the buck
ets for 13 points.
Coach Les Bronson of the All
Stars alternated two units com
posed of Pete Hahn, Clyde Ner
shak, Frank Austin, Harold Bell,
Jim Drake, Ralph Zweigle, Wally
Parker, Corky Kost and Bob Har
wood.
More than once the game was
tied and until the driving shot
by Buddy Black in the last sec
onds, it was anybody’s contest.
Jim Dake and Ralph Zweigle led
the loses with 10 apiece.
League play starts again next
Friday, with the ANB vs. the Na
tional Guard and the High School
vs. the Polar Hornets.

44Paris Calling”
Enjoyed At Nome
Anita Aros, charming violinist
of the USO Show, “Paris Calling,”
will long be remembered by the
Nome audience for a wonderful
performance Friday evening, as
well as the rest of the cast, who
showed the public how fast real
troupers can put on a show. The
group arrived from Cape Lis
bourne, where they had put on
the show earlier in the day, about
45 minutes before curtain time,
and with slight delay gave a per- -
formance without losing a beat.
The only complaints heard from
the audience which packed the
auditorium, was that they could
have listened for another hour to
more music by Tony Giannina on
his accordian, John Fata on the
tenor sax, Rene Duchetta on the ‘
drums, Joe Chappelle on the ban
jo, as well as watching more of
the skill of Matty King, soft shoe
artist, Del Sandro, acrobat, and
the comedian Claude Stroud with
the master of ceremonies Peter
James.
Dance line girls Jeanene Am
bler Francine Mainieri, Mary
Kelly and Thelma Wood with
Elaine Evans as singer, also
received a big hand.
From Nome the group were
scheduled to play at Tin City,
Northeast Cape and Galena on
Saturday, and Sunday at Elmen
dorf, Sparrevohn and Wildwood
Station
Some days they put on as many
as four shows.
