Clash of The Century Tonight at School
Gym Pits Parents-Tutors In Dual Duel
By PETE HAHN, Reporter
Tonight, starting at 7:30, will be
the first of the greatest exhibitions
of basketball science ever seen in
Nome.
The first game will pit the
skilled Maws, led by Coach Char
lotte Hungerford, against the high
stepping Marms, led by Coach
“Leaping” Nelly Liebig. This
promises to be a hair raising af
fair, as the feeling is so strong
between the teams that the two
coaches had to be held apart, dur
ing an interview at the TV sta
tion last night, to prevent one of
them from becoming injured.
Both teams are coming into this
fracas undefeated, and this, along
with other factors, should make a
real battle royal that will please
many fans, and leave many gasp
ing for breath.
Lineups for tonight’s game:
Mothers — Forwards, Lois Mc
Iver, Carolyn Reader, Marilyn
Dexter, Bea Lee, Doris Wilke,
Marcia Craft and Marj Benni
field.
Guards — Bev Blanning, Peg
Kellihei’, Agnes Walsh, Agnes Ko
makuk, Edith Arnold, Mary Walk
er, Arlene Strand, Joyce Tucker,
For the Teachers: Forwards —
Jane Perkins, Evelyn Langhus,
Vesta Sundstrom, Nelda Liebig,
Marilyn Owen, Sharon Harwood.
Guards — Dorothy Grant, Ade
line Ullrich, Alice Osborne, Beth
McCray, Beverly Bixby, Harriet
Amundson.
The night-cap promises to be a
lulu, with the Tremendous High
Scoring Tutors led by their great
stationery guard, Clarence Sten
■beck, threatening to literally run
over the Wheezing Pops, led by
Playing Coach Bob Emmons. Both
of these clubs are also unde
feated, and are determined to re
main that way at all costs.
Reports have been rolling in
from both camps to the effect that
both teams are importing players.
Emmons claims he has four for
mer All-Americans, each over six
feet tall, coming in via Alaska
Airlines this morning. Woodiel let
slip out that Wilt “The Stilt,” ar
rived secretly last night on a char
tered plane.
With Emmons’ imports, and
Wilt, the game should prove to be
a real gem. Astronomer Olaf Hal
verson, when gazing through his
telescope last night, reported that
there was much stellar activity in
the vicinity of the Red Hangar.
This has been the secret training
camp of the Dads.
Emmons promises that the fans
won’t be disappointed. He has pla
toon after platoon- to throw at
•his opponents. Emmons refused
to reveal his line-up last night to
this reporter, saying “We don’t
ANGELL CONSENTS
TO REFEREE
Coach Bill Angell of the Fan
tastic Tutors has consented to ref
eree tonight’s Basketball Games!!
Coach Angell, a former great of
the NBA officiating circles, today
revealed that he had been ap
proached by the officials promot
ing tonight’s game, and had ac
cepted an opportunity to referee.
Angell, a former president of the
Umpire’s Association of Lower
Slobbovia, should just about sew
the game up for the winners.
Coach Bob Emmons of the
Mighty Dads says, “We wuz
robbed!” Assistant Coach Jack
Woodiel of the Tutors says, “Now
the game should be real inter
esting.” Referee-Coach Angell
says, “No comment.”
want any of our men ‘rolled’ be
fore the game.”
Woodiel gave his line-up as fol
lows; Don “Racehorse” Perkins,
left end; Clarence “Shot Rod”
Stenbeck, stationery guard; Maes
tro Bill “Hands” Bixby, right
tackle; Hank “The Hawk” Ull
rich, left half; “Handsome” Pete
Hahn, roving center; “Hustling”
Forrest Draper, left out, and Coach
Jack Woodiel, right' in. He stated
that Wilt “The Stilt” would be
held out until the proper place
was found for him.
A secret reporter learned, after
| tailing Emmons around town, that
Emmons was planning on using
the terrible talents of Fred “Jungle
Jim” Cavota and Sam “Foothills”
Mogg Sr. This should put -consid
erable fear into the hearts of the
Faculty Tutors as it is certain
that they have no one to match
the tremendous potential and di
mensions of these two stars.
Coach Woodiel of the Tutors says,
“We’ll beat ’em despite them,” and
Coach-Referee Bill Angell says,
“No comment.”
Emmons plans a pattern that
combines the best of the single
wing and split-T. Woodiel says he
will use a stunting 5-4-2 defense,
adding that he will be crashing
his guards hard, and shooting his
linebackers.
There was a hot dispute at the
TV station last night, when Coach
Emmons accused the Teachers of
sleeping on the job so that they
could stay up later in the night to
practice. The Teachers retaliated
with the accusation that, the Dads
