BASKETBALL
 TEAM GIVEN
 BIG BANQUET
Hon. P. C. Mccormack Was Postmaster.
 A Merry Event.

On Tuesday evening a ban quet was given at the Wrangell hotel by several of the business men in honor ot the Wrangell basketball team. Cash Coulter was apparently theone who orig mated the idea, and saw that it was carried out. Itwas one of the most pleasurable events that has taken place in Wrangell this season.
 Hon. P. C. Mccormack acted as chairman. and as soon as the guests were seated made a few appropriate remarks explaining why the banquet was given, and praising the basketball team for having given Wrangell a lot of advertising along some line other than that which it has received through the story that has been told So often that we all know what it is.
 The banquet was a series of courses of just one good thing after another. But gastronomi- cal pleasures alone were not enough for the returned heroes. While they were feasting the Ma tive band came and serenaded them.
 The lighting of cigars was the sighal for the chairman to begin calling for speeches.
 James Wheeler, treasurer of the athletic club, the man who talked to the Juneau managers like a Dutch uncle when Wran- gell was not getting a square deal, was the first to be called upon. Mr. Wheeler waXed elo- quent and gave such a glowing account of the Wrangell boys that he was applauded again and again. If the sweethearts oI the basketball boys had been present Little Dan Cupid would have re- signed in Mir. Wheeler's favor after hearing all the nice things he said about the gallant mem bers of the Wrangell team.
 Elmer Carlstrom, manager of the team, was next called upon. Mir. Carlstrom gave an interest ing account of'the trip, and spoke words of praise for the team.
 Harry w. Horn, the mascot, was called upon, and started off with that old worn out phrase that he did not believe that he could aGd anything to what had already been said. But few min utes later he had the guests in convulsions of laughter by relat- ing that one night at the Gasti- neau he was awakened by a strange noise. It seemed to hlm that a couple of menageries had the room above him, and that said menageries had declared war and the first battle was in progress. In his fright he tele- phoned to ManagerGlenn Bartlett asking to be rescued. A few moments later the hotel clerk called at his room and informed him that he need not be alarmed that all there was to the dis turbance was that Wheeler was havinga a nightmare over that first game.
 c. M. Coulter responded in a pleasing manner when called upon. Mir. Coulter toasted the newest member of the team, Ronald Leonard Mccormack, now in Juneau.
 J. E. Worden made some phil osophical remarks that were well received.
 Harry Gartley made 8 clean

 did not cover their men as they shonld, and they were also unable to bit the baskets. The first half ended with the score 20 to } in fav- or of Wrangell.
 At the start ot the second half, the local boys nervousness had worn off and they went in to win. They were too fir behind to catch up. however Very 'ew personal fouls were called on either side and the game was absolutely clean, from the stand point of basket ball.
 Every man on the Wrangell team played a good game. Bur. ford, for the high school, played rings around his opponents and during the second half especially was able to make several field goals from difficult angles. Sabin was seemingly unable to mss his free throws and was as steady as clock during the game. The other team members gase.excellent sup- port.
 Third Game
 On "Wednesday evening of last week the Wrangell team played the Juneau A. B. team. This game resulted in a score of p to B in favor of Wrangell. The Juneau Empire reports this game as 1 follows:
 Wrangell made good their asser- ton of having basketball team when they took the \. B. team down the line last night to the tune of B to 25. The game was exceed- ingly fast and clean, there being no rough stuff and but very few personal fouls being called.
 I he Wrangell team won through superior team work and signaling. They were outwelghted several pounds per man, but as the Arctic Brotherhood team had never played together on the floor as team be- fore, they were woefully weak in team playing.
 The individual playing was ex- ceedingly good, every man on the A. B. team being in the game tor all the points possible and many spectacular plays were pulled off, but nevertheless the Wrangell players deserve great credit for beating them. Every man knew that he had been in a game and had to extend himself to win the victory, but the victory was won and they are entitled to all the credit.
 The large crowd present enjoyed every minute of the contest from start to finish and freely applauded all good plays, irrespective of whether made by an A. B. or Wrangell player. Every man on the Wrangell team was star and clearly demonstrated that the fine points of the game are familiar to each. Burford, Mathews and Carl- son played exceptionally good games for the Juneau aggregation, and received splendid support from Mcqueen and kletzing. Hender- son played for the last ten minutes, but did not get much chance to prove his ability.
 Last nights game was the last time the Wrangell team will be seen in action in Juneau.

Among the strange assortment of

are:
