The Bears Jed by one point at the half, the scoré at that period being 12 to 11. Then the Alumni rallied and ran the count up to 24 to 20 at the end of the third. The Bears crept up on them byt were unable to get ahead before the final whistle, and the Alumni were out in front, the game ending at 31-29. Kearny and Hogins starred for the Crimson Bears. Reischl and Powers, each with 10, were high for the Alumni. Coach Clarence Anderson’s squad did not show the form they display- ed last Tuesday when they trimmed the Bankers, but the first-string are hard to beat, and there is some promising material on the second squad. Douglas High School's Huskies were forced to bow to the Grem- lins in the preliminary game, which ended with a seore of 35 to 28, Scoring for the Hqslues was led by Bach, who sapk four field goals and made good on.four out of five free throws, and by Asp, who tallied eight ' points. For the Gremlins, Salb was way out in front in the matter of scor- ing, sinking five field goals and cashing in on six free throws ‘The Juneau High School and cheering section were on hand to back up their team, and a con- tingent from Douglas did likewise for the boys from across the Chan- nel.. The Alumni and the Gremlins were not forgotten, either. Following is the box score Crimson Bears ] FT Pts.
