Anchorage Basketball League.

The speedy City basketball five was
too strong for the soldiers yesterday
afternoon and the latter were forced
to an 18 to 9 defeat. The City quintet
led from the start and was never
in danger of being headed. The score
at half time stood 8 to 4 and the last |
half ended in the same proportion.
Basketball has its surprises the
same as the kaiser’s submarines; the
14th were picked to win yesterday but
Captain Veach and his men upset all
dope and literally romped away with
the game. As a team the City five
played a consistent game and worked
well together. Unless it was the work
of Powery there was no particular star
in yesterday’s game. Captain Veach
materially strengthened his scoring
machine by shifting Powery to guard
in the absence of Knutson and Jimmie
was all over the court, much to the
chagrin of the side lines.
Yesterday’s game drew the largest
crowd of the league series and if was
just fairly enthusiastic and noisy.
The game started promptly on time
with Leahy and Dolliver officiating.
After several minutes of hard play
Henkle scored a field basket for his
team and the first points’ of the game.
Powery evened the score by shooting a
difficult basket.
A triple play from Tiffany to Veach
to Henning scored again for the City
while the 14th missed several easy
chances in the meantime. Gubert and
Henkle were both off on shooting yes
terday. Veach made free basket and
Powery to Veach scored on next few
plays. Sherwin recovered in the cen
ter ot tlie couit anti tWibbled to the
side lines where he passed to Riley
who scored. Sherwin shot to the
north gallery; Henkle missed and
j Veach scored one on double foul. Half
: ended City 8, 14th 4.
The spectators always look forward
to the 10-minute intermission between
halves, for, from past experiences they
know that Wilford, the announcer, will
have something new to spring. Nor
were they disappointed yesterday. It
was given out yesterday that for the
small sum of four bits the public will
have an opportunity to witness the
grace and form of Anchorage femi
ninity in action against their Commis
sion sisters next Sunday afternoon. As i
a minor attraction and included in the
price the City and Commission Adon
isis will meet. It’s a shame for the
Graces to have to pack such a handi
cap for the fans and connoisseurs
would be glad to pay the price with
out the extra game. 14th and Com
' mission play a regular scredule game
Tuesday night.
City started second half with a ven
geance. Powery scored in the first
few minutes of play on a fine pass
from Henning. PoWery to Tiff scored
again.
The play was getting good and both
teams did some clever work. The 14th,
as usaul, were much better than their
opponents on the throw outs but' the
City guarded so closely that accurate
shooting was impossible. Gubert and
Henkle were especially unfortunate in
their attempts owing to the close work
of the City guards. After the ball was
carried and passed back and forth over
the court Powery received the ball
from Henning and dribbled through
the enemy’s territory in the feature
play of the game to a long shot di
rectly in front of the basket. Veach
missed free try but on the next play
put the game on ice by making a
clever back hand shot for a field bas
ket after Tiff’s pass. Henkle to Sher
win scored for the soldiers. The sol
diers were coming from behind and
playing hard but were off on their
shots. On the next play a throw out
by Gubert, they scored again on clever >
passing of Gubert to Sullinger to Ri
ley, who scored.
Tiff dodged and ducked the entire 11

One remarkable feature of the game
was that there were no substitutes
put in by either team and the small
number of fouls. Both teams played
an exceptionally clean, fast game that
was practically devoid of sensational
plays but marked with good passing
and team work.
