E'ks Command Hardly had the scattered specta- ors settled in their seats when the BPOE's took command in the Jpening encounter of the evening First blood for the Crimson Bears followed close on the report of the nitial gun as DeVault slipped a looping shot through the netting but immediate retaliation with in- terest spelled two field markers for ie Antlers and set them on their 1o a 10 to 4 quarter-time leader- ship. during the closing ten minutes o By the t bos A inti 3 play, meanwhile allowing the De-! L e e ‘ofnn ININE Was under way, Smith's tactics had Molays but a single two-pointer. Previous to the 38 to 30 victory rung up by the Islanders, the Elk: had opened their two-out-of-threc semi-final series by out-smarting and out-shooting a lackadaisical Ju- neau High School squad, 31 to 18. Having much to do with the Purple: decided trouncing of their forme nemesis was Roy Smith’s baiting o his former Crimson Bear teammate into foregoing the pursuit of bas kets for the more immediate satfis faction of exchanging amenities with the fleet Antler forward. DeMolays Start Early With Kinky Bayers doing most of the trigger work, the DeMolays » opened last night's battle true tc the advance dope, scoring first, sub- siding temporarily as the Islanders climbed into a 4 to 3 lead, then surg- ing forward to lead 9 to 6 at the quarter. With the opening of the second period, the Purple and Golds carried on, adding another trio of buckets before their opponents again counted, then two more goals were added to the DeMolay count previous to a short intermission dur- » ing which the Islanders converted a foul and rang up a brace of bas- kets, back the DeMolays came again, with a string of four foul conver- sicns. Then, however, it was the Eagles’ time at bat, as, with but two minutes to play in the half, they dropped three field goals while the DeMolays were getting one; to close out the half with the scoreboard reading: DeMolays 22, Douglas 19. The third ‘period was a session ] sparse in scoring, the Purple and Golds using up seven minutes to add three two-pointers to their to- tal and the Islanders collecting their only score of the quarter just before the close. But, that marker was the trickle that became a torrent in the final chukker, as the Eagles right after the intermission picked up their business where they had dropped werked so much bleod into the eyes of the Prep lads that they could no lenger see the basket, and with their plays tossed overboard, their ace climax shooter. Hansen unable to sink his putts, and their ball hands grease-coated, the Bears could no more than .intermittently cageé a point or so as the Elks slipped merrily aleng their way to an 18 to 12 command at the half. And, that was the way of the rest of the game, the Purples doubling their opponents’ scores during the third quarter and tripling the Cr son Bears' single basket in the fin- ale. While the High School cagers con- certed their efforts on scrapping, Roy Smith treated his duel with them as a mere side-bet. and keep- ing his mind on point-getting as well, once again emerged high scor- er of the fracas with an even dozen tallies on his side of the ledger, a quartette of them garnered on shots from the foul line. Also-pack- ing around an eye for the ring was Elk center Dick May, who looped through four tasty buckets and hung up one foul shot to run his per- sonai count to nine, DeVault, although managing to tie Hansen for the Bears' point- getting leadership with five mark- ers, was the chief victim of Smith's wiles; going out on four personal fouls with four minutes yet to go in the final quarter. A nice, lively battle-royal; with the Antlers putting out enough bas- ketball to keep the situation well in hand.

An informal reception followed, in honor of the bride and groom, who were showered with congratulations from over 100 friends and guests, throughout the evening. ‘The bride was born, and has lived | nearly all her life, in Alaska.

He was 2 couragecus, if unw younaster who elected to gamble on his slug- 7ing. And that is one of the quick- »st ways fn the world to get your brains addled. There was one brief scene in the first round that gave hope to the Schmeling adherents. Natie rushed Louis and slung a right. Joe saw it coming and drew up his mitts. He flinched and his wace wrinkled inte a picture of fear. The blow rocked him and he retreated Mann landed other rights but none with the timing and power of that first. He soon ran into a right cross that knocked all the sense out of him and no longer was he dan- gerous. But the Schmeling boys didn’'t miss Joe's look when that opening blow crashed against his button. Natie isn't a puncher of Schmel- ing's calibre. He isn't clever and he isn’t fast. So, the question remains: What would be Louis’ reaction to a perfectly timed Schmeling right to the jaw? Your answer is as good as mine. An Expert Comparison I had a little difficulty seeing the fight because there was a fidgety gentleman sitting in front of me. He'd swing his head one way and I'd have to jerk mine in the other direction to get past his stymie. He was the square-jawed blond from Eagle Bend, Minn., Harry Thomas I couldn't blame Harry for watching so intently. He likely was more interested than I. And he had reason to be. For Harry knew hc shortly would be signed as Joe's next victim. They'll meet on April 1 in Chicago. A couple of months ago Thomas served as a trial horse for Schmel- ing. Max fiddled around with him for six rounds and then got down to business. But he found that Harry had a concreteish chin. Harry went down eight times, if memory serves, before the fuss was haited. The result of Harry's compari- son was “Theyre both tough punchers,” —_— e —— CALLED AT CAPITOL R.
