Five Teams Entered In
Volleyball League To
Start Next Monday
Sports fans will be happy to
learn that next Monday evening,
April 23, will see the start of the
Base-City Volleyball League. The
game is a favorite in the Eastern
States and Canada and is an
extremely interesting spectator
sport. Five team managers sign
ed the B-C log last Monday: the
Nome Nanooks, the Polar Hornets,
Air Force Jets, the ACS Sham
rocks, and a newly organized city
team, the Nome Aces. Ten games
are scheduled. The first is slated
for Monday evening at 7:30 and
brings together the Shamrocks
and Hornets in the opening game.
The Nanooks meet the Jets in
the second game and the Nome
Aces will wind up the evening
against the Shamrocks. Since
volleyball is a fairly short game
three or four are scheduled for
each evening of play.
* * *
Softball resumes Friday eve
ning when the Hornets clash with
the highly improved Jets and the
league-leading Shamrocks play
the Nanooks in the nightcap.
* * *
The first meet of the Base-City
Rifle Team League was held last
Monday at the ANG armory. Maj.
Frank Siegwart’s Headquarters
team outpointed the ACS Sham
rocks 723 to 673. High for the
winners were Siegwart and Bobby
Herman with 187 each. High for
the ACS was Jim Mahlen with
186 and Don Grosgebauer was
second with 174. Some excellent
shooting was displayed by both
teams and the future of the B-C ■
Rifle League looks promising.

BEN AND MRS. GILLETTE
RETURN FROM HAWAII TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gillette re
turned home yesterday after a
month in Hawaii, which they say
is the cleanest place they have
ever seen. They particularly noted
the courteousness of the people,
even the children, to visitors to
their island, and the fact that
there isn’t a signboard to toe seen
anywhere on the island.
They recommend Honolulu for
a luxurious rest where a person
can enjoy during nothing at all.
Nevertheless they said they were
still glad to be back in Alaska.
