BENEFIT BASKETBALL GAME TOMORROW '
Not that the Army and the Seward High School basket
ball teams can be likened to the situation we find in Julius
Caesar's Commentaries wherein Caesar quelled an inci
pient mutiny in his ranks prior to entering battle with the
Germans, but on the otherhand, we find there is no panic
visible in the ranks of the two local basketball teams who
will face one another tomorrow evening in a benefit game
from which the proceeds will flow into the sadly depleted
cash box of the Seward Athletic Club.
Both teams are striving to give their very* best in the
game and to that end, the Army squad especially, have
been practicing without a letup for a period of three
weeks. The High School five have been in the “pink" for
many weeks but, never-the-less, have not neglected work
ing out regularly. Both are scrappy teams and the fans,
without a doubt, should certainly get a run for their coin.
But to make a long story short the Athletic Club is
dire need of funds and it is for that reason this editorial is
written, in an endeavor to have the good folk of Seward
turn out “en masse" and help the Club out of a bad finan
cial hole. That's the truth of the whole matter. But we
have it upon the good authority of the coaches the spec
tators will witness a mighty interesting game.
Bring a noise making instrument; it will add alot to
the fun.
If all the proposed expenditures and projects go thru
in Seward this year, as indications point they will, Seward
promises to be just about the busiest town in Alaska this
coming summer. Roughly speaking we can figure out
where about $400,000 may be expended.
What this country needs is an epidemic of home-sick
noss.
