The interscholastic melee was a rompin’, stompin’, hammer and tong affair, of which perhaps the most outstanding alure was the calling of 48 PF's. e starters from each team were retired via the foul route. Juneau's first half lead of 6 points stood good throt out the game as a strugegling Panther tribe labored frantically to cop the title from the resolute J-Hi five; but it wasn't in| | the books. Skagway, weak on re- serves, dropped their hopes when stalwarts Welch, Sullivan and Tun- ley all collected the maximum l)ex- sonals. Showing up well for the visitors ‘was pivot-man Tunley who was a bull on the boards, and Sullivan, offensive talents were ! manacled by excessive fouling. Shining for the Bear horde was Bill Sperling, a triple monogram earner, who besides turning in a superb de- fensive and rebound game, rang the bell for 8 points, At the horn the final score was: Juneau 44, Skag- way 38.
