Old Taku, which hit Juneau yester- day, struck the Haines basketball team Saturday evening in A. B. Hall and when the furry had subsided ihe Lynn Canal champions had been buried by a score of 56 to 19 by the ,o2ai City quintet. Superior passing basket shooting and all-round team work by the City team was responsi- ble for it's victory
 The Haines team was apparently lost in the big hall and could not get started. It tried hard but futilely to stop the slaughter It showed some good individual playing, especially i'll the work of Combs and Tompkins Combs accounted for 13 of the D points made by Haines. scoring five field goals and making five from free throws out of seven shots. Most of Combs field goals were made from difficult angles and long distances. His inclination to take long chances rather than pass the ball, while add ing a spectacular feature to the game, probably cost Haines a few points. He is, however, one of the best shots seen in action here Tompkins is speedy player and his

ROME, July 25-On the Third Gen

1t will depend on this meeting of the

Admittedly, the League to date ha.

However, the first assembly of thu
