Score By Innings 12347 15 14 14 10 53 7 4 710 28 Team Juneau Firemen Juneau High School By a score of 53 to 28, the Ju- neau Firemen defeated the Juneau High School at basketball in the high school gymnasium last night. The figures tell the story. The Smoke-eaters leaped ahead in the first quarter, and were never close- | ly pressed by their opopnents. The High School had great diffi- culty in getting prearranged plays under way and substitution of play- ers failed to effect any improve- ment in team work. Despite the one-sidedness of the game, however, it held the interest of the large number of spectators. Details of the scoring follows: Firemen Work Fast First Quarter—Hollman of the Firemen sank the first basket of the game. Karabelnikof on a pass from his team-mate, Henning, basketed the first goal for the High School. Nelson added a point to the Firemen’s score with a con- verted free throw. Bloomquist was awarded a free throw which he made for the High School team. Nelson of the Firemen was fouled twice within two minutes and was given two tosses from the charity line which he made. Hollman added two more baskets to the |Firemen's score. This goal was quickly followed with another by his team-mate, Nelson. Haglund dribbled under the basket and sank one for the school team. yBayers, the Fireman center, caught free throws. He made both of them and won the game for Douglas by one point.
