Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future'greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

DEFEAT TO SOLDIERS
Seward won the basketball game
from the Soldiers Saturday night,
but it was anybodys game almost un
til the final blast of the timekeeepers
whistle. The count then showed Sew
ard had run up a scant margin of one
over their adversaries or 27 to 26. The
I game was marked by fast, furious and
| rough tactics, the latter principly, on
j the part of the visitors. Clever field
shots were made by both squads, also
some nifty passing and team work.
Considering the game 24 hours later
the opinion is expressed they were
pretty evenly matched.
For the Seward city team the laur
. els go to Clark Andresen, who flashed
in and out of almost every play; to
Willis who was responsible for four
field baskets, and to “Nip” Johnsen
who unloaded one of the best games
the fans have watched him work. John
son, like Andresen, his smaller team
mate, was everywhere and broke up
play after play as well as shoving over
three field baskets tossing in one
from the foul line. Andresen was push
j ed around something awful by the op
position but not for a minute did he
slow up. Time after time he was seen
to emerge from a fracas, staggering
backwards, but only for a moment,
for in hej would leap again. Galloway,
Stevenson and McEwen were far from
• being absent in the game for they
were in there, hammar and tongs at
all times. The rough stuff did not
seem to phase these men much, nor
any of the team for that matter, for
it seemed as if just as many af the
soldiers bounced off the floor as the
locals.
One fact was proven concisively in
the game, the1 local boys have stamina
and lots of fight, which is half of any
battle. It was a pleasure for the
many spectators to watch the
home boys in the first real battle of
the season and gives them a good idea
what they can expect against the high
ly touted Alaska College team from
Fairbanks, which plays next Saturday
night. The game wrns very fast and
it was a difficult task for either one
of the referees, Jones and Berger to
watch the speedy plays. With but one
exception neither team squawked about
any decision. The fact that no player
was injured, even temporary, testi
fies to the fact, though it was a rough
session, it was a remarkably clean
game.
