... Landing Craft Retriever—
LIFTS a disabled LCM (Landing Craft Mechanized) from the lurf and
prepares to bring it up the beach. Designed primarily for recovery of
beoched or damaged landing craft, the LCR also has vast freight-lift potential,

STANDING ROOM ONLY
It was standing room only last
night at the school gym as Gil
Lamb and his USO show played
to a packed house. If Lamb ap
peared familiar to many of the
people it was because he has ap
peared in comedy roles in the
movies. It was the consensus of
opinion that last night’s was one
of the best shows seen on the
USO circuit. The troupe was to
go to Tin City today for a one
day stand.

Nanooks Trample the
Kotzebue Huskies 62-15
The Nome Hi Nanooks basket
ball squad ran over a highly out
classed but game Kotzebue five
before a capacity crowd at the
local gym last Friday night.
The Huskies were never in the
game as the local quintet built up
a quick lead and kept increasing
it throughout the encounter.
Even though the Kotzebue boys
had been practicing most of the
day after their arrival in Nome,
they showed splendid condition
ing, when, after four quarters of
hard play, they were still going
strong. This was their first time
in a regulation gym and they
made the most of it.
The locals had their reserves
playing most of the game. Wayne
Wittie, showing some real smooth
moves, and a deft soft touch, led
the Nanooks with 16 points and a
great 8 for 11 shooting perform
ance from the floor. Hustling Tex
Chunn was close behind Wittie
with 12 marks chalked up. The
entire Nanook squad figured in
the scoring column.
For the valiant Huskies Bob
Lee was tops with 6 points, fol
lowed by Hale Hunnicutt with 4.
Lee gave the fans a couple of
real thrills with two long 40-foot
one-handed shots that were real
“swishers.”
The taller, more experienced
Nomeites completely dominated
the boards taking 53 rebounds
to the Huskies 19.
