Nome High Loses Both
Seward Games; Gets Red
Carpet Tour of Area
The Nome High Basketball
team returned this morning from
Seward bringing the good sports
manship trophy and stories of the
wonderful hospitality of the town
Seward.
Although the team lost both
games played in the double elim
ination tournament, they stated
they learned a lot and saw a lot.
The Alaska S.S. Co. agent took
them through the S. S. Fortuna
which was in port; they were
taken on a complete tour of a
shrimp cannery and a lumber
mill.
On the return from Seward to
Anchorage, they stopped at Moose
Pass and visited with former
Nome residents Mr. and Mrs.
Charles O’Leary and their mother
Mrs. J. J. O’Leary who was here
during the Pioneer Convention in
October.
The O’Leary’s have purchased
the famous “Alaska Nellie” col
lection of mounted heads and are
building a new house in which to
display these museum pieces as
well as many trophies which Mr.
O’Leary has of his own.
The trip was made to and from
Anohorage in rented cars and was
a very scenic one for the team.
Aa spokesman for the group
said that one of the handicaps the
team encountered were glass
backboards on the baskets with
which they were totally unaccus
tomed.
