CITIf TEAMS
The City five simply smothered the
quintette representing the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, and romped
away with the game last night by a
score of 30 to 5.
As railroad builders, the boys from
the hill may be all right and they may
have other athletic accomplishments,
but as basketball players they are
jokes and only worthy of space in the
comic section.
Purely out of sympathy and from
the standpoint of generosity, the boys
wearing the city colors magnanimous-1
ly permitted their opponents to make
one lonesome field basket and con
ferred the solitary on Engle. Leahy
scored three points from the foul line.
For the City the entire team took a J
whirl at scoring and made so many j
baskets that it became monotonous.
The City five put up a splendid exhi- j
bition of the game and the team work
ed like well oiled machinery. Their
passing was the best that has been
shown on the local courts this season
and the Commission five were unable j
to breakup the combinations that de
veloped into baskets. While the whole !
City team played classy ball to Chesty
Nicholls goes the honor of making
the star play of the game. After a
rough scrimmage little Henning re
covered and immediately passed to
Nick, who caught the ball on the run
and made a spectacular over-hand
shot for a field basket. None of the
Commission boys showed class last
night and missed chance after chance j
to score. Mickey Costello played a
goodchecking game but was way off
on his shooting as were his team
mates. Engle and Leahy were guard
ed so closely that they did not get an
opportunity to show. Trachsel played
a good game at guard but was weak
on offensive and the new man, Gray
beal played well considering it was his
first game.
For the City, Veach made five field
baskets, Henning three, Knutson three
and Bush, Nicholls and Powery one
each. Engle scored the only field bas
ket for the Commission and Leahy
three from the foul line.
Ed Kimball refereed a great game
and should be appointed to the official
position. Kimball shows knowledge of
the game and is absolutely impartial. •
The City young ladies followed suit |
and defeated their five sisters from
the Commission by three points, 11 to
8. Captain Polley shot three field:
baskets, Albertson and and Buryi one, |
and Polley three from the foul line.:
Captain Lockhart of the Commission
played a consistent game throughout j
and made three field baskets and
Parks scored two on fouls.
The games were witnessed by a!
large and enthusiastic crowd.
