OF SERIES
The opening game of the Anchorage
basketball league was played last
night at Labor Union hall before a
fair sized crowd. The game was late
in starting, which is not particularly
conducive to increasing the attend
ance. Manager Wilford introduced
President Loussac, who made a few
appropriate remarks and tossed the
first ball. Captain Mangus won the
choice of goals and following the pre
cedent, chose the north goal.
Henkle, practically unattacked, made
the first basket in one minute after
play started. Henkle fouled and En
gle missed free basket. On the throw
out Gubert to Sullinger to Sherwin,
scored two for the 14th, arid to be iri
Henkle’s class Sherwin fouled; Engle
again missed free try for basket.' Sdl
Inger fouled on Engle’s try by inter
ference with the pass and Mahgus
made the basket.
From the center' of the field Ryan
passed to Costello, who in turn made
a long pass to Engle, who shot a bas
ket from the east side line. Gubert
was playing strong from the 14th but
the passing of Leahy again to Engle
was perfect and so was the shot' for
the basket. r
The ball changed hands repeatedly
on the next few plays arid Ryan and
Engle were rushing things Tor the
Commission. The play was fast at
this stage of the game and Engle
bowled over Referee Veach in the
scramble. In his anxiety Ryan fouled
and Henkle made basket on free try.
The Commission were playing great
team work and worked several intri
cate passes that the 14th could not
break up and on the next play Engle
shot another basket, receiving the ball
from Costello.
Engle and Leahy featured- in the
next play and from a difficult angle
Leahy used his south paw for an
other basket. The play was particu
larly fast at this point and Sullinger
fouled; Leahy made one more score
for his team. Sherwin shot over the
goal and Ryan fouled on the next play
and Henkle scored. From the center
of the field the ball was carried and
passed back and forth for several min
utes, when Mangus received the ball
from Ryan and with a clear field in
front of him dribbled to position for
an easy basket. The 14th were not
guarding consistently at the end of the
first half and the Commission were
effectively working their noodles and
passes for scores.* Their next dispfay
of teamwork developed int'd a bbiSkdt!
from Costello to Leahy 'to waiting
Engle. Sherwin missed two easy tries
on the next few plays and'the-half
ended, Commission, 14; Soldiers', it)1.
Bruner went ir. for Ryan at the be
ginning of the second half, which
started with a rush, both teams trying
for long shots and roughing it up for
possession Of* the ball. Leahy misled
an easy shot and Mickey fouled on the
next play, which reliable Henkle turn
ed into one more point for his team.
Leahy did likewise and again Henkle
proved unerring. These two offenders
featured in the next play, and Mickey
missed basket after receiving the ball
from Leahy, but Engle recovered and
scored. Gubert, on another foul by
the Commisson, failed to count.
Things were getting good and the
spectators were spontaneous. In the
next mix-up, with the ball in the north
territory, Bruner shot and luckily
missed his own basket. With the ball
still in the north pasture the 14th
missed several easy shots for baskets
and the Commission boys worked the
ball down the field, when the ball went
out of bounds at the southeast comer
of the field. Recovering the ball in
the scrimmage the soldier boys again
rushed it to the enemies’ territory,
and on the next play, a throw out,
Sherwin received the ball and shot an
easy basket. Reilly emulating Sher
win, shot the ball in the midst of a
bunch of fair gallery goddesses, with
the fabled words, “Let the most beau
tiful possess me.” No one to<>k ad
vantage of the opportunity, and on the
next play this son of Erin fouled but
Leahy failed. Leahy came back strong
and made two baskets in rapid sue
cession with the able assistance of En
gle and Mangus.
Mangus determined that Knutson of
the City should not have all the glory,
was playing a whirlwind game and
was in every play, blocking many
passes. The triangle, composed of
Mangus, Engle and Leahy, proved
what team work can do and while the
14th were guarding better the trium
virate, with Engle as the pivot, scored
another field basket. Sullinger and
Gubert were blocking and guarding
well and the play was fast and furious
but'the 14th could not get their passes
to the right pair of arms and were
shooting poorly. On the next play the
ball was worked to the south goal
where Sherwin received it on the throw
out and in the most spectacular play
of the game dribbled the ball the en
tire length of the field to a field bas
ket. On Bruner’s foul Henkle missed
his first free try and duplicated on
Mickey’s foul in the next scrimmage.
The half ended after several lively
scrimmages with the ball in possession
of the 14th. Commission, 22; 14th, 17.
Veach refereed and Knutson um
pired the game; Hartley and Han
cock kept score, and Werner and Hem
mer kept track of the minute hand.
Veach gave universal satisfaction and
if'he was not so valuable'as a player
he would be sure of the official ap
pointment. Gate receipts were in the
neighborhood of $50, and the limited
few who witnessed the game were
wildly enthusiastic and asked for sea
son tickets. It was the best game of
the three played so far this season,
and While the 14th did not show as
well as in Sunday’s game the Commis
sion boys fairly outdid themselves and
have progressed in team work to a
marked degree. Captain Gilbert will
drill his men strenuously in basket
shooting the next few days prior to
the match with the City Sunday after
noon.
Sherwin, for the 14th, played a
strong game, while Mangus, Engle
and Leahy featured for the Commis
sion. The Commission had the best of
it all the way through as can be seen
by the field baskets—Commission, 10;
14th, 5. On the other hand Captain
Mangus’s men were a trifle over anx
ious and made many fouls, seven of
them resulting in scores. The 14th
were only credited with four fouls.
All the teams are getting down to
form and real classy basketball will
be seen here this winter. These games
deserve the support of the people who
should turn out and support the
league. Next game Sunday after
noon, City vs. 14th Infantry.
