Merchants Basketball
Team Runs Win Streak
To Eleven Straight Games
The Nome Merchants rolled
along in first place undefeated
as they routed the Nome Nanooks
54-41 in an exciting game Friday
evening. In the first tilt, Lomen
Commercial trounced the Air
Force Five 43-24.
The win by the Merchants was
their 11th straight and third in a
row through the second half of
league play. In two previous
games against the high school, the
Merchants defeated the Nanooks,
but had to come from behind with
a great fourth quarter rally Fri
day before their victory. Spectac
ular second half shooting and fine
floor play by George Bell sparked
the Merchant’s win as he bagged
•20 points, hitting for 16 in the
second half.
The Nanooks held the upper
hand throughout the first half
with a 17-17 tie midway in the
second pei’iod. The third period
was run and shoot by both teams
as the score read 34-32 in the
Nanook’s favors. With the Mer
chants really hitting through the
final period, the high school ran
out of gas and hit for only 7
points as the curtain fell 54-41.
Scoring for the winners, George
and Harold Bell, 20 and 14 respec
tively, Arnie Castel 9, Gary Long
ley 6, A1 Sahlin 4, and Roy Luke
1. For the Nanooks, Bobbie Her
man 15, Ruzzy Swanberg 13,
Korky Kost 11 and Dave Bell 2.
Lomens had little trouble from
the Air Force in their victory as
they led at the quarters 7-4, 21-10,
33-16 and the final 43-24. Vince
Ahkolik for Lomens was high for
both teams with 17 points, follow
ed by Herb Williams 9, Ike Lar
sen 8, Johnny Schellenbach 7, and
Perry Kagoona 2. For the losers,
Hamilton 10, Coleman 8, Doyle 4
and Kegler 2.
Tuesday’s schedule will have
the 10th Radio (0-2) against the
Air Force Five (0-3) at 7 o’clock,
and at 8:15 the Merchants tangle
with the dangerous Detachment
23rd.
