B-T’s To Show Youngsters
Game of Basketball As
Played In Old Days
Tuesday night at 7:30 in the
school gym, the well-known B-T’s
from yesteryear will show the 8th

how the game of basketball used
to be played. Such stalwarts as
Ash Craft, Bob Emmons, Virgil
Warnecke, Tom Martin, Paul Man
deville, ’ Bill Woodcock, Mike
Vivarios and many others have
been having secret turnouts in
preparation for the big event. The
8th grade boys, coached by Mr.
Stenbeck, are all primed and rea
dy for their older opponents —
so fans — be on hand at 7:30 to
watch the exhibition game. This
game is played annually to help
raise money to send the Nome
High School basketball team to
the tournament.
The second game, starting at
8:45, will have the Nome High
School’s girls’ “A” team against
the Alumni girls team. This is
the second game in the girls
round robin, and promises to be
a good contest.
