SEWARD GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM WON FIVE OF THE SIX
GAMES PLAYED
Seward High school girls basket
ball team returned from a victori
ous trip to Anchorage Saturday, hav
ing wTon two of the three games play
ed. This makes a total of five vic
tories for Seward out of the six
games played and gives the Seward
girls an undisputed claim to the In
ter-city championship of 1927, an
honor never before attained by a
Seward girls team. Anchorage was
able to win only one game, an over
time battle in which Seward held
the lead until the last minute of play.
Thursday night Anchorage took
the first game of the series by a
hard finish. Bert McIntosh scored
two field goals in the first half at
the end of which Seward led 4-2.
In the third period neither team
scored, and late in the final quarter
1 it appeared that Seward would win.
In the last minute however, Gertrude
Nelson succeeded in caging the tying
basket. In the overtime period Hed
berg scored a basket and Cecil Les
lie converted a technical foul making
[the final score 6-5. Ingeborg Ruck
[ | art, substitute guard starred for the
11 home team, holding Bert McIntosh
scoreless in the second half. Elsa
Larsson played a fine game but -was
“ off her shooting, missing shots re
peatedly -which rolled around the
i hoop but refused to drop through
j In a fast preliminary game the An
i chorage High school boys beat the
City team 12-6.
I Fridays game was the hardesi
, 1 fought of the series and the mosl
spectacular. The lead went fron:
L one team to the other throughout .the
* game and only the accurate fou
shooting of Cecil Leslie and the
fierce guarding of Wilma Harrisor
and Katherine Neville held off defeat
Wilma was out for about ten minute:
\ of the second half, the result of i
. i bad collission in which two teetl
' : were nearly lost, but went back ii
the game for the last few minutes
Viola Sheldon took her place anc
held her forward scoreless while sh<
was 'in the game. Bert Mclntosl
scored 6 points. Elsa Larsson 2, anc
Cecil Leslie 3. Nelson was high foi
Anchorage with three field goals
The final score was 11-10 in favor o
Seward. In the preliminary the An
chorage High school boys lost to th<
Commission team 22-5.
In the final game played off Sat
urday morning the Seward girls dis
played a brand of basketball whicl
had the Inlet team dazzled. An ex.
cellent offensive combination kepi
the ball near the Seward baskei
throughout the game and after the
first quarter the result was never ir
doubt. Excellent passing of Larsson
McIntosh, and Leslie worked the bal
under the basket repeatedly for eas3
shots and only desperate guarding
kept the score from being higher
The feature of the game was a beau
tiful shot by Elsa Larsson from th<
middle of the floor. She also led ii
