 SERIES, WINNING
 FINAL FROM J.H.S,
High School Loses 2l to B Through Inability to
 Shoot Accurately.

by ueIe1ll0S the JuHedu HE Il School five Saturday night at A. B. Hall by a score of g to 21, the Met lakatla A. C. squad made a clean sweep of it's series on the Channel, winning six games in eight days. Saturday nights game was probably the fastest one of the series played and the defeat of the local school was largely due to the failure of it's forwards to locate the basket when opportunities were made for them to score.
 Features of Game
 The game was featured by excel lent passing by both teams, close checking and particularly by the long-distance shooting by the Metla katla team. Every man on the h. dian team scored at least one long shot and three were made by k. At kinson from difficult angles and or or just outside of the 17-foot line. 1t was this, combined with their own inability to cage shots from under meath the basket that brought abou. the downfall of the High School squad.
 The game was clean and free from fouls. Not single personal foul was called on the local players and but four on the Metlakatla men.

Juneau $ competent center. collided with White, local guard and received a painful but not serious cut over his light eye. The accident occurred sCyen minutes before the end of the game. Janiksela replaced him and i'd splendid work. R. Atkinson, one of the cleverest of the visiting play. els. hurt an ankle just before the end of the first half and was re- placed by T. Benson.
