Merchants Down
Panthers; Nanooks
Take First Win
The first few minutes of the
Merchants vs. Panthers game
looked as though it was going to
be the Panthers all the way, but
a fighting and determined Mer
chant squad came back to take
the game with a score of 59-49, to
remain the league champions as
of this date. “Sure-shot” Harold
Bell was again high point man,
cutting the strings for a total of
19 points. Other high point men
for the Merchants included Ike
Larsen 14, Clyde Nershak 9, Al
S*ahliin 8 and Amie Castel 8. For
the Panthers it was Karl Nest
vold 13, Earl Beal 13, and Waolo
gorski 11.
The Blue and White Nanook
High School Team showed re
markable ability in winning their
/Tirst game of the season, by
trouncing the North Stars 50-20.
“Flash” Korky Kost seemed to
be all over the floor to tally 16
points for the fighting Polar
Bears, and when the final whistle
blew the Nanooks celebrated a
long-awaited victory. High point
men for the Nanooks were Korky
Kost 16, Jake Titus 14, Chuck W.
Fagerstrom 10, and Vernon Carl- j
son 8. For the North Stars it was
Bob Ellis 8 and Roy Luke 6.
Don’t forget, plan now to at
tend the basketball game Wed
nesday, February 20, when the
High School Huskies play the
Nome Alumni Girls and the Ju
nior Varsity plays the B. T. Both
games should prove to be highly
entertaining.
