Basketball Games Tonight
This evening at 7 p.m. in the
school gym, the Air Force Gooney
Birds meet the Junior Varsity in
what should be a close contest.
The first meeting between these
two teams resulted in a victory
for the Gooney Birds, buf it was
a close one with only one point
difference in the scores.
The second game at 8:30 will
bring together a team composed
of five players from the Air
Force Jets and Nome Merchants,
pitted against the unbeaten Army
Bruins. This game will be the
final game of the season in the
school gym so it promises to be
a good one. The' Merchants-Ajr
Force team will be making every
effort to break the Army Bruins’
record of no defeats for the sea
son.
Don’t let the typical hothead
bluff you—he has cold feet.
