J-Hi started to rough it up the last few minutes of play, Miller had already been sent to the showers on four personals, and the Firemen didn’t know where to look for their op- ponents next. They were in the air, under the blackboard, on the floor, in the middle of the floor and in general in the Firemen's hair. But it was too late. The Juneau boys had blown up, and their zame was lost. Chapados went out of the game with four fouls and the score ended 43 to 32 for the Firemen. - Soldiers’ Massacre As elusive as stone phantoms in a blacked-out metropolis, as gentle as steam rollers at a pink tea party, the National Guard five played their last game last night and gave the nearly-packed house a show that they will not forget in a day as they lost a fight with the Douglas Eagles by the near whitewash score of 48 to 22. ! It was a fierce pace that the t, and before the game minutes old, men were acing around the floor so fast that 'if they had been shot with horse BRINGING UP FATHER WiELL- IE MAGGIE WON'T LET ME GO ougr =1 MAY AS WELL MAKE MESELF HfiE‘:léLAfi%OUNDATHE LITTLE WORK — ing camp. on, and if the players’ heads had been eggs, they would have all scrambled for they were all hot and they all got cracked. Arnell of the Soldiers went to the showers with four fouls as the Eagles kept plugging away and making their shots good. The Guards men had more recoil than a rifle but they were useless . . . their shots were no good . they couldn't make them when they did get the ball. Although the first period score was 12 to 10 for the Soldiers, by the time the third frame ended the score book totalled 16 points for the Sold- fers and the Eagles’ page looked as if a hen had walked across it with 39 points chalked up. The onlw points for the Soldlers made in the third quarter was by Willey when he sunk one from under the basket. The Eagles garneded 19 points in the same time. Fighting right up to the end the Guardsmen showed that they had plenty of spunk, but were just a little off form. Final score was 39 to 16, Games Tonight Scheduled games for tonight as } Erskine Savikko Niemi Spreads of this quality, styling and make for less, regardless of where you might order.
