WILLIAM CURRAN WINS
MARBLE CHAMPIONSHIP
William Curran is the cham
pions marble player in Nome
School in a tournament played
off on Monday evening. The tour
nament was first announced for
last Friday, but post season snow
storms left drifts knee deep in

nament had to be postponed.
Runner up in the contest was
Willie Hoogendorn. Judges were
Gene Dinkle, Peter Kokes, Marc
Beauchamp and Father Nevue.
The tournament which was open
to boys from the first through
seventh grades was well under
way when the sudden snowstorm
started about 5 o'clock which
necessitated delays in cleaning
out the marble pot periodically
of ice and snow, but otherwise
did not hinder the play-off which
involved about fifty boys.
Class B title was won by Lester
Keller with Peter Otton in sec
ond spot. Class B took in the 6
to 9-year-olds.
The tournament was sponsored
by Cub Pack 245.
