SUMMARY OF GAMES
PLAYED IN INTERIOR
FAIRBANKS-SEWARD
REPORTS SENT THE GATEWAY
EVIDENTLY DID NOT TELL
HALF THE STORY
Although Seward failed to win a
majority or even half of the games
on the Fairbanks trip their invasion
was far from a failure in more ways
than the average citizen of Seward
realize. When reading the accounts
given in the Fairbanks News Miner
of the games one cannot but feel
that Seward was fighting all the
time and left a good impression in
the inland metropolis.
The writeups given the games by
the Fairbanks Daily were lengthy,
very descriptive and clear. The
Seward players were given much
credit and the playing of particular
ones well spoken of. One man from
the local team stand out in the re
ports during the series of games and
altho he may have been eclipsed at
times by opposing players Seward is
proud of the record establahed by a
man that received recognition' last
year. The fellow referred to is Gal
loway, but to speak of him alone
would not be fair to the other Sew
ard players who gave their best; en
durance may be given as one reason
ror his more consistant showing. The
fighting spirit and snap of Clark An
dresen and the remrakable good play
ing of Francis. Leslie were bright
spots in the games as w'as the shoot
ing of McEwen in the High school
game.
Few realized the class of compeLi
ion the Seward boys were buckinc
ab well as playing eve y night. Shaw,
College center, was undoubtedly the
nest player seen in action and ha
wa: .vorking with two men, Smitn
and Loftus who were rated as All
Alaski players last year. They are
all all men and make a wonderfu:
combination.
The Fairbanks Exploration has r.
well balanced team. But one mu
stands out head and shoulders abo e
the rest. Vic Gill not only score 1
a sovlly number of points for his
team but was an exceptional passe*
as '.yell as a good defensive man.
r: he High school team, while eo n
posed of fairly young players,
fast and displayed the best tea:- |
wc >' o! any of the teams encou.P »r
ed. In Gibbs they have a vefy due
gerous man, a good shot, hard to
giuuu and fast. He was ably second
ed by Butervich th? center. The
boys played a clean and pretty game.
It is deplored that The Gateway did
nor a better report* on the game
hut i! is desired af this time to dis
pell the impression the members o ‘
the • airbanks town did not know the
•game. A line up is not now availa
ble, :n:t they nave some very go ><:<
players and it is reported that the
gomg was at no time in the game
easy. The Seward combination woi k
ed letted than in any other ga'vs
and individual members received sev
eral compliments on the type of
game played.
The refereeing, according to tV>
local players, was none too good in
the first two gamas ai*'o*it was fair
•rd no intention a advantage given
