The Seward high school eagers
took a chance at the Alaska College
team alst night and until the last
part of the final quarter it was a nip
and tuck affair and the College, tho
winning by the score of 31 to 20,
were far from being at ease. Unlike
the game of the preceding night, the
locals fought until the last dog died
but the visitors were just a little too
much for them. The fans certainly
got their moneys worth and left the
auditorium proud of the showing the
boys mad©.
FIRST QUARTER
Connors opened up with a whirl
wind start sticking a field shot in
right off the bat. Foul on Howard;
Smith converted. A fine long pass,
R. Manthey to Leslie, missed con
necting with the basket by a hair.
Foul on Loftus; Haward converted.
Raymond came through with a fine
long shot after ducking his man. Time
out for the College. Raymond took an
excellent pass from Hayes and put
her in. Connors made a basket. Guy
slipped in a remarkably fine long
toss. Foul on Leslie. Foul on Smith.
Guy converted. Score:Seward 8,Col
lege 5.
SECOND QUARTER
Connors started the fireworks off
again making a great long heave.
Foul on Boswell. Howard, after a
nice exhibition of dribbling and pas
sing, made a goal. Loftus came thru
with his first points slipping in a
fast and brilliantly executed shot
from the field. Time out for Seward.
Connors and Smith both dropped in
baskets. Time out for Seward. Tak
ing another clever pass from How
ard, Raymond made another cage,
ending the first half. Score, College
13, Seward 12.
SECOND QUARTER
Loftus made a basket. Leslie fol
lowed with a dandy. Smith dropped
one in. Time out for Seward. Foul on
Boswell; Raymond converted. Dou
ble foul on Loftus; Guy converted
one. Smith, a basket. Moyer went in
for Connors. Smith, who appeared to
be carrying off star honors for the
College, made a basket. Then from
the middle of the floor, Raymond
tossed in a beauty. Score, College 21, |
Seward 18.
LAST QUARTER
Again the combination of Howard
to Raymond came through with a
neat basket; credit Manthey. Smith
and Loftus began to run wild again
and when the smoke had cleared
it was seen they each had annexed
another cage. Time out for Seward.
One technical foul on Seward. Lof
tus failed to convert. But, he did
something else which wrecked the
works when he heaved in three field
shots in a row. Foul on Rosness.
Foul on Smith. Thus endeth the game.
Coach Bath’s “Aces” lost but that
made little difference to the fans who
were over-joyed at their pluck and
courage.
THE BATTING AVERAGES
Loftus 12, Smith 11, Connors 8.
Raymond 11, Guy 4, Hayes 3, Leslie 2.

AL AND JOE * __
Joe Mills, one of the best known
barbers in the Territory of Alaska,
bar none, is now presiding over Fred
C. Miller’s chair during Mr. Miller's
