I
I Seward continues to hold the
11932 award—a hard rubber frying
pan—for mild weather. While lo
cal instruments registered 18
above, Fairbanks shivered in 30
below weather; over at the gay
city of Anchorage, the tempera
ture was one below, Broad Pass 8
below and at Nenana where rail
and water meet, the mercury stood
14 below.
Among the arrivals this evening
from the wilds of the Interior, will
be Mrs. H. Lewis, well known res
ident of Nome, who is enroute to
the States. Mrs. Lewis flew to
Fairbanks from Nome, thence to
Anchorage.

ALUMNI AGAIN TAKE
“PONIES” FOR A RIDE:
SCORE WAS 22 TO W
It was a great night for basket
ball last night. Many bit the dus
but not for long.
Starting exactly one-hour late
which is mighty bad for futur<
public attendance, the first gam<
saw the City girls taken into th<
bailiwick of the High school girl;
by the lopsided score of 25 to 9.
Next, saw the Alumni win thei:
second close, match against th<
“Ponies,” 22 to 19.
The third bout of the evening
saw the Jesse Lee squad kaho<
the Seward school second team
the latter taking a 22 to 6 count.
The batting averages:
High school girls—Shellhorn 6
Skinner 4, M. Larson (*) 15.
City girls—Neville 4 (*), Haw
kins 2, Wills 3.
Alumni—Davis 2, Shellhorn 2
R. Manthey (*) 14, Rosness 2
E. Manthey 2.
Ponies—Reed 2, R. Johnston 2
C. Lang (*) 14, Peterson 1.
Jesse Lee—N. Peterson 7, H. Ol
sen 5, Nick Heidel (*) 8, Carl
Benson 2.
School 2nd—C. Larson 2, Rosen
bud 2, S. Lang 2.
Close checking on the part ol
the referees marked the games
each alone worth the price of ad
mission. Don't miss the Anchor
age-Sew'ard high school series ir
the local rose bowl next week.
Jack Lean, alderman from Coop
er’s Landing, slipped into the city
last evening to spend Xmas or
Seward’s white way.
