DOUGLAS TAKES CONCRETERS IN CASABA BATTLE After overcoming an early Con- creter lead, the Douglas Eagles| knotted the count at 16-all, at the end of the first quarter, held Krause to two points during the second quarter while piling up a large lead for themselves, and beat off a determined Krause effort to maintain their margin the rest of the way and hang up another league win for the home island in the City League hoop joust at the High School gym last evening. The final score was Douglas 47, Krause 37, Ralph Bardi, who had his eye last night, was the only Concreter to ring the hoop during the entire second quarter, while the Eagles added 12 markers to their total to finish the first half on the long end of a 28 to 18 score. It was basket for basket during the sec- ond half, but the Islanders kept up just enough steam to hold their ten-point edge through the full two quarters. Bardi, with plenty of help by Sammy Nelson, was the whole 01‘ the losers' attack and most of the defense, Dick Gerewell aiding the stellar pair in the checking de- partment. Bardi's 16 points was high for the night, but was closely | followed by Nelson, and Claude | Erskine, who got 15 apiece. Gordon Mills and Rex Rox combined with Erskine to form the mainspring of | o the Island offensive. | SEWARD, Alaska, Nov. 25.—Sev-| Nice defensive work by the whole |enty-three days out of Point Bar- | Douglas team was mainly respons- row, the motorship North Star of | ible for their win.
