Bear Five
Begin Play
Kodi jk High School’s bas
ketball practice sessions began
Monday. Just two weeks be
fore the Navy League begins
actual competition. Fifteen
boys have responded so far.
Coach Don Morgan announced
that he has a good share of
experienced men this year
with eight lettermen return
ing. They are: Bill Frost, Jim
Anderson. Bob Norton, Mike
Fitzgerald, Buddy Squartsoff,
A1 Torgranson, Sonny Heit
man and Bob Frost. Other
boys turning out are: Clarence
Selig, Robert Culp, Don Hig
gins. Jay Moll^ti, Jim Meyers
Da.ve Pestrikoff and Grant
Hakenson
From these fifteen boys,
twelve. will, bet selected for
competition with1 the Navy,
This number? is determined by
the regulations set up for the
Navy League. Ib- also repre
sents a more economical num
ber in as much as they must
be transported to and from
the Navy Base not only for
games but for all practice ses
sions. Of thesejl twelve boys
ten will be selected to go to the
tournament in the spring at
Anchorage. This number is
again determined by regula
tions as the number that the
tournament committee will
accept.
So far the boys have looked
extremely good. Most of last
years is intact. The Bears are
again bothered by heighth.
and Coach Morgan expects a
great deal of trouble from the
taller service teams. He also
expects his quintet to learn a
great deal from these older
boys at the Base, and rnaybe
by the time the tournament
comes around Kodiak won’t
have to say “wait until next
year.”
Emphasis this year will be
placed, however, not so much
on winning, but on participa
tion and enjoyment. Morgan
stated: “Too often it is for
gotten in interschool or inter
league competition that bas
ketball is still only a game. We
will play for the fun of it. If
we win, fine, if we lose, that’s
fine also. Basketball is just a
game. We expect to play it
that way.” Kodiak’s new
basketball coach concluded.
Pat Cannon left Kodiak on!
Tuesday for Seattle where he
will join Mrs. Cannon, and to
gether they will drive to Mexi
co City for a brief vacation.
Returning to Seattle around
November 8th, they will meet
Nile Temple of Seattle and
make the Shrine pilgramage
on that date, for one week.
Their return to Kodiak will
be via the Alcan Highway to
Seward, expecting to be back
in Kodiak by December first.

Something totally fresh is here — a bewitch
ing new all-steel beauty that sets the styling
keynote for other Ford cars to come.
But, styling gives the merest hint of what
the Thunderbird has to offer. In traffic and on
the open road the Thunderbird’s Trigger
Torque performance is literally a revelation.
Here is hair-trigger response . . . fleet, liquid
agility . . . backed by a reserve of swift, sure
power to meet safety’s every demand. Trigger
Torque performance stems from Ford’s new
Thunderbird Special V-8 — a high-torque
engine with 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhausts,
wide-opening valves and Ford’s famous lovv
friction design; And you can have, the
Thunderbird with the transmission of your
choice —Conventional, Overdrive, or new
Speed-Trigger Fordomatic.
Ford’s Ball-Joint Front Suspension not only
velvet-cushions your ride, it also allows the
Thunderbird to handle with utmost ease — to
corner with greatest stability.
But, more important, the Thunderbird is
the product of the same advanced engineer
ing .. . the same manufacturing skills that
have made Ford products so dependable, so
value-full and so desirable to so many.
