WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Junu Hh Swamps Duglas SNA GJS HIT High, But Thr 15, 1950 S] ill Game Last Night Was Moose 56, Imps 53 The Gastineau Channel Ciwy League wound up with a bang last night as the Juneau High School Crimson Bears romped to a 48 to 25 victory over the never-say-die Huskies from Douglas and the Ju- neau Moose, a decided underdog in all pre-game predictions, eked out a 56 to 53 victory over the Imps. Douglas High Schooi’s tighting Huskies bowed to the supremacy ot Juneau‘'s weight, height and ex- perience. The Bears were off to a fast start with Sperling dropping in| a duo of one handers and “Itch” Hansen performing his fancy work on the boards. J-Hi sprang to a 26 to 5 lead at the half. In the third quarters, the scoring went even with the local boys and the islanders each garnering ten points. Milles of Douglas turned in the best performance of the game. His defensive work, breaking, pass- ing and getting in the Bears’ hair| in general were fine examples of | what a player can do, when he really wants to win, even though he is 'a 100 to 1 underdog. For the | Huskies, Milles carried the brunt of the scoring with ten; for Juneau, Ninnis with fourteen. Final score: J-Hi 48, D-Hi 25. Second Game In the second game, which fea- tured the highly favored Juneau Imperials against an up and down Moose sponsored team, was one of the thrillers of the season as the rampaging Moosemen led by “Auto- matic” Dud Smithberg, roared off to a 12 to 3 lead and finished up the quarter on the long end of a 1§ to 4 score. The second quarter again was all Moose and Smithberz. Dud fed by careful, calculated passes from Aase and Kelly and set up by protective screens from Pegues, tossed in a bevy of push and set shots which amounted to nine points. Newcomer “Easy Ed” Gallagher turned in a superb job on the boards and at the half the score-| board read: Lodgemen 34, Imperials 117. Third Quarter Thne third quarter saw the awak- ening of a rev Imperial squad and for the Moose, it seemed to be a case of “Wha Hoppen?” Scott and Pasquan, Imperial scoring dynamos, erupted and drove the Moose wild with their long, driving lay-ups and breaks. The boys in red, hampered by the loss of their ace scorer, Dud Smithberg, who collected five touls early in the period, counld’t find the ball and didn't know what to do i with it when they did have it. Scott, Pasquan, and Nielsen hog- ged the maple to the tune of 13 points and with Jim “Sonny” Vuille sucking in all of the loose rebounds there wasn't much that the Moose could do. The period ended with the Lodgemen leading 44-32. Fourth Quarter The fourth quarter saw the Moose put on some spectacular ball hand- | ling which was necessitated by the loss of their rebound stalwart, Denny Gallagher, who retired via the foul route. Aase, Kelly, and Pegues set up a weave and stall and to this| of basketball | simple fundamental must go much of the credit for the victory in last night's fracas. Pas- quan and Scott intercepted and drove in time and time again for lay-ups but it wasn’t enough, for after the scoring, the Moose would recover and set up their stall wnich, though wusually unsuccessful for more than 15 or 20 seconds, con- tributed overwhelmingly toward the final score. And still the Imperials, hanging on, scrapping and driving, managed in the last minute to pull within one point of a fast dying Moose quintet G4 Can You Read Your Notes After They Are Cold? fype them up within 24 hours, on « ' Smith-Corona portable and we will guarantee . . . well, we'll at Jeast guarantee you can read ‘em and that's really something when you have only a couple of hours in which to cram for an exam.
