BRAYFoRD AND McEWEN STARS
Seward Five Gaining Rapidly As Last Half Ends-Both Teams
 Off In Shooting.

With the team weakened by the absence of one of the regular play CTS the Seward basketball five lost the last game of the series to the Anchorage "Midgets" Saturday mite at the S. A. c. gym, by the score of 2S to 23. 1t was the only game the Inlet team won and the fact they took the scalps of the locals in Sat urday's game is layed entirely to the broken lineup whereby it was neces- sary to stick in a sub. That is the only alibi the champs have They played the game equally as good as on the two days previous with one exception that of shooting baskets The average shot directed at the net went everywhere but through the win dows. In this respect the Seward members were away off their feed"
 On the other hand the visitors likewise missed shot after shot tho in the general team play there were considerable more unison. The fur ther both teams went the better they appeared to be with Seward coming to the front by leaps and bounds dur ing the last few minutes of play. Leslie, who was showed in the first half, playing center in place of John- son, the latter playing guard, was taken out at the beginning of the last half and Tom Selby, former basketball star, who only turned out for practice but three times this year, was put in. It was evident, the move was wise one for the su- perior field work of the old and more experienced Selby, seemed to stem the Inlet tide, which in the first half rolled in heavy and all but swamped the locals, the half ending 15 to , in favor of Anchorage
 The tide began to recede at the opening clash of the second half and the local fans temperature rose to a marked degree following the three magnificent shots by the skipper of the quintet, Ted McEwen-all within the first five minutes of play Me- EWen's field shots were eXcelled, however, by the beautiful long shot of Valaer's in the first half. Me- EWen's and Valear's shots were all clean passing thru the iron hoop, al- most without a wrinkle of the net, but Valears was from far beyond the center. McEwen's were also long shots and made while he was in rap- i'd motion. The spectators widely ap- plauded both brilliant players. It was in the first half that Johnson also made a pretty shot from close in; Boudreau of the opposite players as sisted Seward in making two points right off the bat in the second half when, during hot scrimmage for the hide, he temporarily forgot the change in baskets, and plunked one into the locals net instead of his teammates hoop. In accordance with the rule book this basket was credit ed to Stewards score.
 As usual the game was as rough as the former two, thirteen personal fouls being charged to both teams. Seven of these were made by the wis itors and six by the local team. Bou- dreau was charged with three; Elk and Wells each with two. Johnson with two and Thinker and Selby with one each.
 Brayford was the star point getter of the evening making twelve. Me- Ewen was right behind him making eleven points for the locals. Next came Valaer with eight points, then Johnson with seven; then Elk with four; Chya, Boudreau and Wells with two each, not counting the freak basket thrown by Boudrea which redowned to Stewards credit, and lastly, the one foul line throw of Leslie's for one point.
 In the first half Brayford made two field baskets and two foul line throws; Valaer made three baskets and Elk one and one. Johnson made one and one and McEwen and Leslie each made foul line throw.
 In the second half McEwen made five field baskets, Johnson two and Chya one. Brayford came through
