Nome ‘Liniment Squad’ Challenges
7th And 8th Grade Basketball Team
Merchants Basketball Five
In Undisputed Lead After
Downing Lomens 41-46
The Nome Merchants made it
four straight in their bid for the
Base-City championship as they
downed the Lomen Commercial
46-41 last evening in the feature
game held at the high school
gym. The Detachment 23rd es
caped the cellar and picked up
their first win of the season at
the expense of the Air Force Five
when they received a disputed
forfeit over their rivals.
The Commercials-Merchant af
fair started off at a fast pace as
both teams traded basket for
basket until Lomens gained the
upper hand during the middle of
the period and held throughout
the remaining quarter 15-7. In the
second quarter, the Merchants
made their bid to overcome 'their
opponents and shot in front bfc'
the half 24-20.
Lomen’s defense folded during
the third period when the winners
hit for 17 points while limiting the
losers to only 7 and built a com
manding 41-29 score by the three
quarter intermission.
Throughout the final stanza, the
Merchants hung on to the ball and
made each basket count while the
Commercials tried vainly to pull
z a last minute rally and at one
time were down only 42-41 before
George Bell and Gary Longley
aded clincher baskets to gain the
victory.
Longley paced the winners with
17, Harold Bell 9, George Bell 8,
Clyde Nershak 7, Arnie Castell
4 and Roy Luke 1. For Lomens,
Jack Unwin 19, John Schellen
bach 11, Herb Wiliams 5, and
Perry Kagoona 2.

> The Old Men’s Basketball Team
of Nome has challenged the boys
of the 7 th and 8th grades of
Nome School to' a game at what
ever date the boys will designate.
The team, according to Sam
Mogg, will be composed of the
following old - time hoopsters,
many of whom were stars of the
court in days of yore:
Howard Lyng, Nels Swanberg
Jr., Carl Glavinovich, Luther
Dunbar, Boyd Harwood, Lester
Bronson, Paul Mandeville, Tom
Martin, and Sam Mo'gg. Doctor F.
Langsam will be seorekeeper and
Chief W. W. Laws will be water
boy.
The “liniment squad” issued the
following challenge to the 7th and
8th graders:
“We challenge you to a game
of basketball at any date you
wish to set.'
“We ask only one condition:
that we have a jump ball at
center after each basket, instead
of the ball being in continuous
play. That’s the only rule we want
changed because most of us are
used to’ playing only that style of
ball.
“As training is against our
rules, we are ready to play on
two hours’ notice and you 7th and
8th graders better be in shape as
we do not want to win by too
big a score.”
Ushers for the game will be A.
Polet, Charles Jones and Dewey
Goodrich and if need be, these
ushers will be available as subs.
So look out youngsters, the
old boys are ready for you—all
you have to do is set the date.

Child Seeks Aid
Of Father When
Tiger Gets On Bed
SYDNEY, Australia, UP>—Seven
year-old Mavis Halcroft woke up
in bed early Tuesday morning
and called: “Daddy, quick, daddy,
help me! Stop this big dog licking
my face. He’s on my bed.”
Her mother looked in and saw
a tiger on the bed.
It was licking Mavis’ face while
her three-year-old sister Fay slept
beside her undisturbed.
Claude Halcroft, the children’s
father, snatched up his .33 rifle
and while his wife held a flash
light on the bed, took careful aim.
“I did not have to tell Mavis to
keep still,” he said later. “She
was under the blankets, very
frightened, and as still as could be.
“I fired and the bullet went
through the Tiger’s nose and jaw.
It was away in a flash through
the door and into the street.”
The animal was found later,
weak from loss of blood.
It had escaped from a circus
after someone tampered with the
lock on its cage.
Meanwhile, Mavis spent the day
in bed. Not because of shock, but
because she has a cold.
The equatorial circumference of
the earth is 24,902.39 miles.
