VISITORS DEFEATED
Nenana Players Capture Opening Game
 Of Season

In the presence of large crowd of basketball enthusiasts at the Coliseum last night. the Neuana quintet defeated the Fairbanks ball tossers by the score of 38 to IS.
 The Fairbanks players did not reach the best of condition after their sixty mile ride; they were also handicapped by the size of the hall, the Coliseum floor being somewhat smaller than that of the Auditorium, in Fairbanks, But they put up game fight and are hopeful of better results tonight, when the second and final game of the present series will be playel at the Coliseum.
 The playing of the home team was splendid throughout the game, the team work and individual performance of the local boys showing better than the visit ors'. The work of Taylor at forward was most consistent throughout both halves, and Monb who got off to slow start, finished the game Ill rare form and completely outclaSsed his opponent. The work of Hubbach in intercepting passes held down the visitors score most effectively, and his returns showed good headwork and resulted ill number of points for his team. Ward and Meagher, although their work does not show up to as good advantage as the others ill the box score, nevertheless worked most ei- fectively in covering the field, and i'll working the ball into shooting distance.
 The game this evening will be follow ed by dance, tickets for the same being S1 .00, ladies free.
