HARD FOUGHT
Games In The Girls Basket
Ball Tournament

All expectations for two hard fought
games in the senior finals of the girls
basket ball tournament were fulfilled
in most stirring fashion on Friday
afternoon Though the weather was
not conducive to hard playing. it in
no way effected the fighting spirit of
the contestants and there resulted
two contests scarcely less exciting
than the interscholasric meets.
The we'll organized Freshmen team
started off with rush that swept
their opponents off their feet-many
times literally so. For so hotly con-
tested was the possession of the ball
that many hard knocks were received
and taken, too, With as good grace as
ever a high school star" displayed.
Though the Seniors scored by single
point the fight was real one from
start to finish.
Then came the struggle between the
undefeated Juniors and the no less
able Sophomores. So evenly matched
were the two teams that, as the ball
see-sawed up and down the floor, it
began to look as though single point
would decide the game. The first
half ended with score of l to 0 fav-
oring the Sophomores but soon in the
second half the Juniors evened the
score with a foul basket. The Sophs
Immediately Gagged a field basket but
after a few minutes of hard play the
Juniors retaliated with we'll placed
shot by l. Berger. The time was grow
ing short, excitement ran high and
fast and furious grew the play. Then,
despite their opponents strenuous ef.
forts, the Sophs forged ahead by a
finely executed basket by l.. Stine.

 Happy Creek Road

 This is the sentiment expressed by the majority of people in the Tolovana, according to word receiv- ed in Fairbanks last night from Brooks. The matter of opening up such trail took definite shape at a meeting held at Brooks Saturday evening, business men from West fork as well being present, and a committee from the citizens of both towns was appointed to look into the matter of cruising out good route.
 The committee consists of Harry J. Patterson, Ernest Peterson and Walter G. Fisher Immediately at ter they were named as commit tee. Messrs. Patterson, Peterson and Fisher held a meeting and agreed to appoint John Smedley, of West. fork, and w. M. Maher, of Brooks, as their cruising crew.
 The present plan of the Tolovana people is to connect with H. H. Ross, who is working from this end of the line, and who took out some machinery from Fairbanks yester- day afternoon to repair his big cat erpillar, which he has been operat ing in his trail building on Gold stream. MT. Maher states that he r. ~~oughly familiar with the coun- try through which such road must run, and he is of the opinion that 70 miles will cover such a trail Maher and Smedley have already commenced their work a fund for their pay having been provided.
