LOOKING AHEAD
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 real:?ed.
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.”

COLLEGE FIVE WIN
FROM SEWARD BY
SCORE OF 21 T01
: FASTEST AND CLEANEST BAS
KETBALL GAME IN YEARS
GOES TO VISITORS
As complete as General Grant took
Richmond, the Alaska College basket
ball team invaded Seward Saturday,
played the local champs, and in as
pretty an exhibition ever witnessed,
tucked the game away in their scalp
belt by the score of 21 to 16. The
visitors lead at the end of every
quarter but with the last quarter and
but three minutes more to play left,
the City ran the score up to 16 to 17,
favor of the College, but there they
stopped while the visitors slipped
over two more field goals and put the
game on ice. Now that the game is
over fans and players alike have not
arrived at a definite opinion as to whe
ther the College team was taking it
easy the first three quarters to flash
thru winners the last few minutes of
play or -whether they did their best
from the start. Suffice to say they
are a sweet working machine. They
had it over the locals on team work
and though they shot for the cage less
than the city, as the score indicates
they evidently must have been more
accurate. If only a small portion of
the City shots had been true the
score would have ended about a mil
lion to 21 in favor of the locals.
Pondering over the) game it appears
the reputation of the College squad
must have had something to do with
it for the City did not seem to have
the punch they did the week before
with the Soldiers. Toward the end
they dug in frantically but the College
calm and collected, were on top of
every play, breaking it up. At no
time was there any indication of
rough play from either side and few
of the boys hit the floor.
Seward made seven field goals and
two foul line throws; the College
came through with ten field shots, and
one foul liner. “Nip’’ Johnson’s long
and spectacular field shots, three of
them and a foul line toss, together
with his everlasting agility in mixing
in, gives him the right to be named
the star player for the locals. Willis
follows second for he contributed
three field baskets; Galloway and
Captain McEwen both have one bas
ket each to their credit. Andresen,
star of the last game, had a tough
night of it. In the second stanza he
was almost knocked “cookoo” when he
crashed into one of the heavy oppos
ing members. The few chances he
had to shoot he missed far, wide and
handsome. Johnsen took innumerable
chances in heaving in the pigskin
from half way down the floor. On the
other hand the College men worked
the ball almost under the basket each
time before attempting to shoot.
The first quarter ended 2 to 1; the
second 7 to 6; the third 17 to 10.
Lieutenant Jones and Dr. Roberts of
ficiated in the capacity of referee and
line umpire and both did a mighty
good job. Not a squabble throughout
the entire game. The crowd was only
fair though most of the seats on the
side-lines and balcony were filled.
Local citizens will have the pleasure
of-watching these two teams mix in
two more games the latter part of
this month and at the same time the
College girl’s team with the local
girls.
