BASKETBALL RESULTS!
Last Friday night a large crowd j
witnessed two well played has- j
ketball games. In the first game j
with 20 seconds to go, Willie Wil-,
loya sank a field goal to make j
the North Stars victorious over
the Air Force Panthers by the
score of 51 to 49. At the half the
score was tied at 25 all, but in
the 3rd quarter it looked as
though the Air Force was going
to come out on top. However, the
North Stars rallied and saved the
game.
In the second game the High
School started well; however, by
the half the Polar Hornets had
the game under control and won
handily, 68 to 42. The fighting
High School never gave up, but
were missing on their shots while
the Hornets were not. High point
men for the Hornets were Tony
Willoya 28, Bob Herman 19, and
Dave Bell 8. For the High School
Chuck Fagerstrom made 15 and
Vernon Carlson made 14.

Pioneer Party
Features Ragtime
Entertainer
The Pioneer Card Party, first
in the series of six, got off to a
good start last Saturday evening
with the following persons start
ing with a good lead ki the tour
nament:—
George Bayer was high for the
men, and Ruth McLean for the
women. Second high are Bob
Scott and Margaret Wilson. Low
scorers were Doris and Roscoe
Wilkie.
Bob Schick took home the
door prize. The next party is
scheduled for Feb. 16.
Those attending were very in
terested in the remarks of B^b
Darch, rag-time entertainer, who,
cm the more serious side, is mak
ing Nomeites conscious of their
colorful historical background
and urging them to preserve those
things which cannot be replaced.
He has called attention to the
fact that the obsolete square
grand in the Nome School is al
most a hundred years old, in ex
cellent condition and, for much
less than the price of a new piano,
can be put into condition.
