j Hornets, Nanooks
j Top Teams in
| Friday Games
The high-flying Polar Hornets
bounced back to life last Friday
night as the Dead-Eye Kid, Tony
Willoya, along with his running
mate, Bobby Herman, sparked the
league leaders with 34 and 30
points. The Hornets looked sharp
throughout the game. Big Dave
I Bell took to the air, passing with
i his calm ability, Gary Longley
; worked the boards and gathered
j an additional 12 points. Norman
1 Atuk, Herm Bunn and “Rich”
j Richardson also saw action for
I the Polar crew.
For the Merchants it was their
ace forward, cagey Pete Larsen
! with 25, Arne Castell was next
l with 12, followed by Eddie Carl
| son with 11, and John Bell with
i 10. Final score Hornets 84, Mer
I chants 64.
The Nanooks found the Signal
lers plenty tough in the second
| game. Capt. Bob Ellis, chief of
i the ACS hoopsters, led his boys
in a smooth attack of controlled
ball and slowed the Nanooks to
low gear. The High School found
the route late in the final quar
ter and emerged victor, 32 to 25.
Sam Atuk was high for the Nan
ooks with 9, Willie Willoya fol
lowed with 8, Fagerstrom 7, Kost
and Dunbar 4 each.
