Nome Merchants Win 10th
Straight As Lomens Down
H.S. Nanooks Friday Night
In Friday’s basketball games,
the undefeated Nome Merchants

as they overran the Air Force

The Merchants, coasting thru
out the game against the Air

threatened except in the second
period when their opposition crept
within six points. The quarter
scores in the winner’s favor were
7-0, 16-10, 30-15 and the final
50-15. The Air Force really only
scored in the second and third
periods and were shut out in the
other two.
George and Harold Bell paced
the Merchants with 13 points each,
Amie Castel 11, A1 Sahlin 7,
Gary Longley 4 and Roy Luke
2. For the losers, Hamilton and
Doyle 6 each, Tuccillo 2 and Cole
man 1.
The second game was a close
fought affair until the last two
minutes of play when Lomens
broke the Nanooks’ defense for 8
points. Jack Unwin was high
point man for the game with 26—
16 scored in the first half.
The first quarter ended in a 15
15 tie, but Lomens grabbed a
25-21 lead by the half and held
a 39-34 margin in the third quar
ter before winning out 49-41.
