SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1946 i { f { { DOUGLAS WALLOPS PA; JUNEAU HiGH DEFEATS SIGNACS In the first basketnall games the year, in the game sessions of the City Basketball League, Douglas High Huskies defeated Pan American Airways’ Clipper team 35 to 21, and Juneau High Bears won by a 46 to 14 margin over the Signacs last night in the Juneau High gym-| nasium. Due to there having been no bas- ketball games scheduled since Dec. 18, and also because both Douglas High and Juneau High were playing on the night's bill, an unusually 1arge crowd was present Juneau's pep squad leaders and Patte Davis, song leader, were in full costume and voice. Douglas High School (with an attendance of ex-| actly nine boys and nine girls!) had, | apparently, the entire school enroil- | ment present to boost the Huskies team with yells, grandstand gym- nastics and songs Huskies Fast Whether it was due to strength gained from their boosters or excess| energy stored up during the holidays, | the Huskies have never played a better game of ball than last night's showing since the league started Weir showed up unusually well as a fast moving and alert player al- though he did not score, High scoring men and two of the best shooters on the floor last night were Bach and L. Bonnett with 11 and 12 points | respectively of the Huskies' total 35| points. | Conversely, PAA's team never locked worse than it did last night.| Moscrip, one of the top-notch play- ers was out, and although this fact may have accounted for some of the lack'of spirit and €1ergy displayed, it could hardly have accounted for all of it. Outstanding among players showing at least signs of spark, or interest in the game, were Fournie and Steinacher. True, the margin \)(-‘,'Wm:n the ovbponent score and PAA’s dimininshed rapidly after the first quarter’s 1 to 9 score in favor of the Huskies. This appearad, how- ever. to be due to early substitution of second-string players on the Douglas téam and one or two wide- awake PAAers. In general, PAA slumped last night, and for the first time didn’t appear to care too much. Steihacher was high man with 6 points and Wilson with 5 points. Fournie was the fastest moving play- er on the floor Signacs Slump Signac, another slumping team last night, got completely lost in the game with Juneau High’s Crimson Bears. Evidently figuring the zame lost before it started, the Signacs played an every-man-for-himself- and-let’s-have-fun brand of ball that they evidently enjoyed but looked pretty bad on the score book. Sig- nacs’ sense of humor and apparent “enjoyment of its position as Low Man on the Championship Poll goes a long way to compensate for its playing. Still immensely popular with the basketball fans, the Signacs are con- sistently cheered by. the grand- standees no matter what they do. A newcomer on the Signac team, Mike Thibodeau, scored one field goal last night and showed playing enthusiasm that will undoubtedly make him an asset to the team. The team’s sizeable turn-over in players since the league started is given by many of its staunch fans as the all-covering reason for its inability to function as a unified team. - Goldstein was high scorer on the Signacs’ team with two field goals. Bears Start Poor Juneau High Crimson Bears start- ed off to a rather surprisingly poor start last night, but made up for it with almost. professionally excellent THERE is a yardstick with which you can gauge accurately your need of a specific type of insurance. If the loss against which it protects you is one which can cripple or se- riously embarrass you fi- ancially, YOU NEED IT. If you want counsel on this insurance problem, call Shattuek Agenecy Seward Street Juneau Phone 249 were: ball playing after the first few min- utes. The team attempted 57 baskets | and made 20 of them. To many of the fans, this appeared to be “missing | a ot of 'em.” Actually getting the| ball into shooting position for 57| times in one game is nothing short | of remarkabls, and sinking 20 shots is a record that any high school | in the country would be proud to claim. On the average college teams never expect more than 50 per cent scoring on attempted shots. Although the Crimson Bears’| shooting ability is outstanding, it is| their fast ps work, particularly a one-sided dribble pass that is evi-, dently an innovation of Coach An- derson’s, that intrigues the fans most, and spells the gteatest danger for strong rivals. Top scorer of the Bears was Mead with 18 points, more than a third of the team’s total score. Second high man was Mer- ritt with 10 points. Officials at last night’s game were: Hanks, umpire; Kessenick, referee, and Eide, scorer. The next game session played next Tuesday night.

Leonard Holmquist of the Juneau Drug club rolled the high single game of the night, a 245. Except for the Florists' spurt, league standings remained unruf- led from last evenihg's outing. The Trst four clubs held their positions and there was a general levelling off n the second division.
