Bronsons Takes
Local Basketball
League Lead
The Bronson Merchants basket
ball squad took over the lead in'
the local league last Friday night
with a 41-30 win over the Na
tional Guard. Again the Bell
brothers led the victor’s attack,
Harold hitting for 19, and George
counting seven.
In the first game of the evening
the Alaska Native Brotherhood
(ANB) five opened their league
play with a 55-29 win over the
Polar Hornets. Pete Larson, with
18 scores and Darold Trigg with
14, led the winners.
The Hornets pressed the ANB
squad through the first half, but
finally succumbed as the winners
cleared 'both boards the majority
of the time. With a scorched Wally
Parker sitting the game out, the
Hornets could offer no height
competition to the ANB. Clyde
Nershak led the losers on the
scoreboard with eight.
The second contest likewise was
close for the first half with the
Merchants holding a slim 14-11
tialftime lead over the Guard five.
In the third quarter, however,
Harold Bell of the Merchants put
in five baskets and it wasn’t until
late in the fourth that the Guard
closed the gap somewhat to the
final respectable 41-30 count.
Tomorrow night the Guard goes
against the ACS-CAA and the
High Schol meets the ANB, while
Friday night sees the Merchants
vs. Hornets and the National
Guard meeting the High School.

DC-6 Lands On
Foam Blanket
At Boston Field
BOSTON, iffi — A calm United
Air Lines captain landed a big
DC6 plane on a blanket of foam
Friday night after circling Logan
International Airport for an hour
while his flight engineer man
handled the wheels into landing
position.
The plane, enroute from Chi
cago, skipped a scheduled land
ing at Hartford, Conn., when the
hydraulic system operating the
landing gear failed to function.
There were 41 aboard, includ
ing the crew of four with Capt.
Loras Diedrich, 37, Winfield, 111.,
in command.
He brought the four-engined
plane down smoothly in a three
inch thick blanket of foam spread
by emergency crews for a slide
in case the plane made a belly
landing.
Passengers agreed there was no
panic or obvious fright in the
passenger compartment.
In the plane Flight Engineer
Raymond Hackett, Chicago, moved
a mountain of baggage and ripped
up floor- boards to get into the
hydraulic pit where the wheel
machinery is located.
He said he found faulty wires
caused the trouble, but didn’t
have the equipment to make re
! pairs in the air.
“I switched onto manual opera
tion,” he said. “As we circled Lo
gan I lowered the wheels manu
ally, using my hands and feet to
do so.”
