SEWARD CAGERS DEFEAT INLET
 TEAM, 10 TO }
FIRST GAME PLEASES PACKED HALL; ANCHORAGE FIVE
 DANGEROUS BUNCH
Game Tonight Be Hotly Contested; Inlet Girls Confident They Will
 Win Game This Evening.

ketball team hung it on the Anchorage
 girls last night at the s. A. c. gym, in
 the first game of a series of three. by
 the score of 10 to 5. A large crowd
 was in attendance as it was opined freely the visitors had many fine oppor-
 tunities to reverse the final score. Ac-
 companying figures bear out the asser- tion. Both teams, however, showed
 considerable consistency on the of
 fensive and both also played we'll on the defense. &Es
 The ball was in Anchorage terri tory most of the time, but as one spec tator stated, that did not mean any, thing. On the other hand the visiting cagers displayed flashes of passing
 which made the locals eyes stick out
 so far they could have been knocked
 out with a broom handle Of excep-
 tional worth and note was the splen- did system of guarding displayed. Shot after shot was ruined, many a time. on both sides, by the alert guards. Forwards on both sides were slightly off for the thud and smack of missed field goals played a regular tattoo against the cage platform.
 For Seward, Cecil Leslie starred not only being high cage thrower. but also in passing. Roberta Mcintosh CO., starred with Cecil owing to ability dis played in the many scrimmages and in waltzing the ball down the floor. However, to overlook or not to men, tion the steady playing of Clara Man. they, Kathryn Neville and Elsa Larr- sen would be unfair. Taking them all in all, they are a sweet aggrega- tion.'
 Cecil Leslie heaved in three field baskets, Kathryn Neville one and Elsa one. In forty-two attempts to throw field baskets, the locals made five. In three tries for foul throws. all were fluked.
 In comparison to these figures the Anchorage cagers made sixteen at tempts to throw in field baskets, mak- ing two. In six attempts at foul throws they made one. Helen Welch, star red for her team mates, by her skill full floorwork, besides making one field basket. Mabel Teeland, calmly snap ped field basket in from out a scram- ble of players, and Edna Allenbaugh dropped in the only foul line throw of the evening
 Frances Nichols, center for the An chorage five, co-starred with Miss Welch, as also did Anna Diamond, the speedy forward. Mabel Iceland and Edna Allenbaugh, guards, played their position like veterans. Lily Hedberg, forward, who started in the first quar- ter, was replaced by Miss Welch. Lily looked good under the basket, and is rated one of the Inlet teams most accurate shots.
 Elsa Larsen made a foul throw in the first quarter for the locals but overstepped the mark, the point not counting.
 During mixup under the Seward cage, Nichols accidentally popped the ball into the locals basket. The ball being still in play, Leslie grasped the opportunity and made a rapid fire l short field throw
 The score by quarters: Anchorage 10, Seward 2; second quarter, Ancho- rage 0, Seward 4; third quarter, An chorage 2, Seward 4, and last quarter Anchorage 3, Seward Q. McEwan refereed the game without a dissenting murmur from either side and kept the ball in play as fast as possible.
 Miss Mans and Miss Bevier, coaches of the Anchorage and Seward teams. respectively, were well pleased with the showing of their teams. Tonights game will start at the us- ual time, 7:30 o'clock.
