National Guard
Team is First to
Down Merchants
Last Friday evening basketball
fans were treated to two of the
closest and best played games of
the season. The Polar Hornets
played their best game of the
year as they pressed the A.N.B.
five all the way, but lost 47-41.1
The National Guard pulled the
upset of the year, as they stopped
the previously undefeated Mer
chants 45-30. Dave Bell with 18
scores and Billy Caldwell with
13, led the winners in the upset.
George Kost led the losers with
14, followed by Pete Hahn with
nine.
The winning A.N.B. club played
consistently all through the line
up as they held off the Hornets.
Ike Larson hit for 12, while Har
old Bell and Gil Ozzena had 10
apiece.
Wally Parker of the Hornets
bad his best night with 14 to lead
both squads in the point column,
and Roy Luke was right behind
his teammate with 12 counters.
Tuesday evening will see a
break in the league play, as the
first contest will have two squads
made up from the Junior Varsity
High School team. Their titles,
according to Coach Ullrich, are
the Never-Will-Be’s, and the Nev
er-Have-Been’s.
The second game will feature
the High School Girl’s squads.
Team “A” meeting Team “B.”

Local Bowling Association
Announces Plans For
Creation of Skating Rink
The Nome Bowling Association ,
has announced that it will spon-1
sor a skating rink in the very near
future. The building at Nome
Field which houses thd bowling
lanes and which was formerly a
gymnasium, has.been flooded for
this purpose, music and lights are
being made available.
Skating is something the young
people have always wanted here,
but so far no building has been
big enough to install a rink. Be
cause of snow conditions, the out
door skating has not been pos
sible very often during the winter.
It is hoped that hockey may soon
become a winter sport here.

Current Movie Illustrates
Evils of Dope Traffic
Operators of the Nomerama
Theater, in presenting their cur
rent picture emphasizing the
smuggling of dope in the U. S.,
have this to say concerning the
presentation:
“We invite you to view a pic
ture which not only presents good
entertainment but discloses facts
which will alert you to tha dan
gers, and help you to better pro
tect your family and friends, from
the human vultures who make a
living from other people’s misery
and suffering. . . The types are
as varied as the many forms of
dope they peddle; true some of
them are creeps, but many of
them are as respectable-looking
as your next door neighbor.
“This film is introduced by Con
gressman Hale Boggs, Chairman
of the House Narcotics Committee.
“Tonight at 7:15 and 9:15, at
regular prices.” *
