SPEEDY NTERCITY BASKET GAMES ON

BASKETBALL CLASSIC OF THE SEASON WILL BE PLAYED
 NEXT WEEK
ANCHORAGE SOLDIERS COMING
Khaki Clad Team Is Accredited with Being Fastest Aggregation of
 the Interior

The Soldiers basketball quintet, of the U. s. army post at Anchorage, will arrive in Seward next Wednes- day to a series of three games to Railroad belt. The army lads are purported to be the class of the three teams at the interior city. Although they were recently defeated by the Anchorage City five by the narrow margin of two points, for the local championship, their steady and consistent playing throughout the winter season, makes them stand out as the best team in the interior town.
 By virtue of their victories over the teams of the interior, the boys in khaki felt that they were entitled to a match with Seward for the championship of this district. This series, to the keen delight of the local citizens, has been arranged for by the Executive Committee of the s. A. c. and will be staged here next week The exact dates are, II, 12 and 13. To all appear ances, it should be the fastest set of games to have been staged in l Seward in recent years.
 "Ted" McEwen, coach for the local team, has not as yet made known his intended lineup to be used in the big clash next week, but close observers are expecting Mac" and his players to surprise the public with a few changes of ! 1ositions.
 Though realized by few local cit izens, Seward, at present, can boast of what many knowing fans judge to be the classiest array of basket l ball talent in Alaska.
