SECOND GAME WON BY SEW
ARD; FIVE MINUTES OVER
TIME PLAY
Seward 25, Anchorage 20.
Thus ended the second of the
Inter-City series.
i Speed, skill and endurance born
of the fighting heart, which sends
a man into oblivion unconscious
of his defeat, characterized the
second and even more sensational
of the inter-city basketball match
being played between Anchorage
and Seward High School male
teams, played last night to as
and many more as could find
seats and many standing at the
Athletic Hall.
A DELUGE OF THRILLS
It was such a game as the
most ardent follower of sport
could wish for in its multiple
thrills, rapidly switching uncer
i tainties and clean, scientific play.
Until the basket which gave
Seward its second victory over
i the visitors it was anybody’s
game.
As if there was not a surfeit of j;
thrills and elations, with partisan- i
ship liberallj” divided between thej
contestants, while the pendulum *
of fortune swung from side to
side in an 11-11 tic, hardly had
Porter, captain of the Anchorage
squad, converted two free throws
into scores than Edwin Sandbeck,
captain of the Seward team, snar
ed the ball and tossed for a field
goal, wiping out Porter’s gain,
placing the score again at tie,;
13-13. Before the cheering began
to fade Porter almost duplicated
the play, Anchorage again taking j
the lead 15-13.
Opening the last quarter with!
a whirlwind assault. Porter again'
tossed a field basket, setting Sew
ard back 17-15, only to lose the
advantage thus created by Lang
taking a hot one out of a corner :
and dumping it into the bucket,!
raising Seward’s hopes to 15. Be
fore the crowd could recover j
from the “hibbyjibbys” and fore- j
go threats of throwing the furni- \
ture around, Lang eeled out of
what looked like a battle royal
and again tied the score 17-17, >
! ending the game.
Nothing short of a Democratic
convention or a Texas stampede
could compare with the conduct
of what were dignified fathers of
large families.
When the extra five minute I
period opened up. Anchorage was ,
visibly showing the effects of the1
! gruelling pace set by the local |
1 quintet.
LADY LUCK SMILES
But not wee Hughes, the human

, one coming thru the air and j
headed for Porter. He took off like

j out of a tailspin to see the pill |
mark up for his team. Score. Sew
ard 19, Anchorage 17.
Again arch enemies who had
not spoken for three years began
to shake hands and slap each
other on the back.
A long toss started from An
chorage territory, was intercepted
and overtaken by Sandbeck who
had opened up like a pair of
shears. Taking the ball at scratch
with a one-hand catch, he halted
astride the line and shot true. A
few seconds later Lang’s mighty
right arm shot above the heads of
a hot scrimmage and again the
ball brought home the bacon.
Lang repeated with a field goal,
sewring up the game for Seward.
Porter made a free toss, adding
one more point, the game ending
25-20.
There was nothing ragged or
amateurish in the article of ball
served. Some of the combinations
