DUNCE TOMORROW NITE
On with the dance! And what
a dance the New Years Eve Hard
Time Mask Ball in Dreamland
Hall promises to be, under the
auspices of the Seward Volunteer
Fire Department.
Two companies of firemen will
sweep into the hall this afternoon,
following the final basketball
game of the intercity series, and
transform it into a wilderness
grotto. A survey crew will locate
the Punch Bowl Quartet quarters
at a late hour this evening. The
spot designated will probably be
N. E. by S. W. 200 chains W. Lat.
X marking the spot.
Attics have been turned upside
down these past few days for old
clothes for the masqueraders; the
five-piece orchestra has tooted its
last practice blast, the bale of hay
to polish the floor will be dropped
off from a truck Saturday at 4:43
p. m., the 632 prizes conveyed to
the hall, and the doors flung open
to the public at an early hour to
morrow night.

HON GAME
(Continued frow Page One)
ulity for speed and co-ordination.
SENSATIONAL FEATURES
In the general play all members ;
of both teams gave their best, j
but it fell to the lot of Seward to
make gains thru sensational and
apparantly impossible plays. Es
pecially was this true of Sand
beck’s long toss half the length of |
the floor and Lang’s ability to im- j
prove every offer in tossing field '
goals. One could almost see the
cogs moving in Hughes’ head: this
lad was all over the lot like fork
ed lightning; the plays which he
and Peterson broke up had some
of the Anchorage rooters nearly
shedding crocodile tears. Tall,
hungry-looking Larson, playing
his first year, was more or less in
possession of tip-offs and con
ducted himself like a gentleman
and a scholar.
With the game on ice and but
15 seconds to go, Coach Rogers
sent in three subs, Reed, Bud and
Bob Johnston.
There could be no chagrin or
sting on the part of the losers.
Lady Luck was seated in the sta
dium and had no favorites. What
was gained was earned under
what may be set down as the
most brilliant and thrilling basket
ball game seen in Seward in a
decade.
RECAPITULATION
At the half the score stood 6-5
in favor of Anchorage; 17-17 at
the end and 25-20, Seward, end of
the extra five minutes in the
playoff.
Anchorage made 53 tries for the
basket and Seward 42.
Anchorage fouled three times
and Seward eight.
Anchorage converted four and
Seward one.
Anchorage—Porter nine points,
three field goals, three converted,
17 tries and one foul. Mikami; 3
tries. Sellers; two points, one
field basket, 11 tries and one foul.
Bittner; six points, three field
goals, four tries. Herman; four
tries and one foul. Nichols; three
