COLLEGIANS TO
TANGLE TONIGHT
WITH J. F. D, FIVE
Alaska College Hoopsters
Meet Strong Local Live
in Final Contest.
Willi the scalps of three teams
dangling from its licit, the Alaska
College basketball squad will tab
on thi‘ .Juneau Fire Department
hoopsters at A. It. Hall tonight, the
game being called at 8 p. m. A
i lose, hard-fought tiatllp is forecast.
The Collegians played and won
four games in as many nights last
week, defeating ill- Juneau High
School five iwiee, Douglas High and
i In- Douglas Eagles five once each.
The first break in their schedule
came Sunday. They rested yesterday
and today anil were said to he fit
for a great game tonight.
The Firemen's team lias not played
a regular game this season. Iln
workouts have been confined to reg
ular practice drills and a few scrim
mages against the local High School
squad. It looks to lie a formidable
aggregation with material for both a
strong offense and a clever de-,
fi-nse. i
Seven men will he available for j
work tonight, including four players j
who will lie seen ill action for the
first time. Three forwards, two for,
center and two guards are on tin
roster. Doe' lloiman, star forward
on the Department’s 1925 champion-1
ship squad, is again shooting ’em j
often. Norman Tracy, who won his
letter at Lincoln High, in .Seattle,
and Harry It Allen, who recently
came here as pastor of the Luthe
ran Church, are the other forwards.
"Ham” (lumpen, former Juneau High
star, and Harry Sperling, of last
year's five, are available for center.
I'lv' Nowell, who got his basket ball
start at Lincoln High, and continued!
il at Roosevelt High and later at
the University of Washington, and
(Iregg Mangan, letterman from Lin
coin High, Seattle, look after Un
guard stations.
Coach Abell will probably start his
strongest combination against tin
Firemen. Both he and the team are
determined In leave Juneau with a
clean slate. If they do, it looks as
if they intended to play real Inn
ketliall tonight.
Tonight's game probably will win 1
up the College's schedule here. The
visitors leave her# for the -Interior
on tlie Alameda 'Tuesday. If the
steamer should lie late in making
port tomorrow, there is a charm -
that another game can he arranged,
lint no definite plans have been made
for it.

JUNEAU FIVE
LOSES COLLEGE
TEAM, 33 TO 23
High School Is (Completely
Outclassed by the College
Boys in Christmas Game
The colleglates were too much for i
the Juneau High School lioopsters
Christmas night and won from them
handily. 22 to 22.
The High School played hard in
the first quarter and held their op
ponents who lead them S to 7. An
derson and lloswell ran the score up
to 21 in the second quarter while
Idvie, Hurke and F. Ormo each
made a field basket and Connors
converted a foul shot. The college
lead 21 to 12 iu the first half.
The next quarter the high school
lads closed up on the lead and wen
in within 7 points of tieing the
score. I tut in the next quarter the
Fairbanks men palled away from the
high school hoys and won the game
22 to 22.
Idvie starred for the high school,
fighting hard for the ball constantly
taking it from tlie opponents’ back
board down to bis basket only to
have his team mates throw it out
of bounds or pass into their rivals
out reaching arms.
The failure of the local hoys , >
<heck Anderson in the first half
| cost them the game. Anderson made
i seven field baskets in the first half
; while if he had been checked pro
perly his score would have been cut
| materially.
I The college five has one more
I game to play before leaving Juneau
: for Fairbanks on the Alameda which
is due to arrive from the south Tues
day. Tonight they meet the fast
Fireman team and the local fans
tire in hopes they can win a game
I from the college five. A big crowd
is expected to help cheer the local i
town team to victory tonight.
