Merchants Knock
Over Guard, To
Take Hoop Crown
In a basketball game that was
a knock-down, drag-out affair,
with much bloodshed and a rabid
crowd screaming for more, the
Nome Merchants beat the National
Guard five to gain the right to
claim the championship for the
entire season.
To start the fracas off, the de
fenders of the North literally ran
the men of Commerce right off
the floor with some rapid scoring
that left the gym in a haze of
smoke. This burst of scoring was
led by “Old Reliable” A1 Sahlin,
effectively assisted by Dave Bell
and Jim Drake.
After the initial “blistering” by
the Guard, the Merchants behind
the feathery shooting of George
Bell, started a scoring splurge of
their own that did not cease until
the halftime intermission, which
saw the shopkeepers out in front
by a score of 36 to 28, this after
trailing at the end of the first
period, 20 to 16.
After the intermission the shop-j
keepers took over as if they were
going to make a complete walk
away of the fracas. They led with
the widest margin in the game
during this period with a spread of
12 points. The third period ended
with the tallies at 36 and 45, with
the Sellers in the lead.
With the coming of the 4th
period, the National Guard, in cal
culated desperation, proceeded to
blister the hoop again in a drive
which almost saw tfyem regain the
lead. This drive was led by Dave
Bell, Jim Drake, Johnny Bell and
Bill Caldwell. With the score tied
at 48-all, and four minutes to go,
the Merchantmen gathered their
forces, and with some lightning
fast breaks by Corky Kost, beau
tiful clutch shooting by "Bob Har
wood, and great rebounding by
“agile” Jackson Muller, the shop
keepers hammered away with an
offense that wilted away all hope
for the defenders, despite their
great efforts. During this splurge,
two of the defenders left the game
via the five-foul route. The game
ended with the Merchantmen
leading by 9 points.
In the individual scoring col
umn, the victors were led by
George Bell, who burned up the
hoop with 29 points, followed by
Hahn with 12 and Kost with 10.
The defenders of the North were
led by “Boomin’’ Bill Caldwell,
who had 19, followed by Jim
Drake with 14, and Dave Bell
with 10.
