VISITING COLLECE CAGE MEN FAST OUTFIT
 WITH PLENTY SPIRIT

Stranberg put his team in first place in the Fairbanks basketball league by his sensational scoring against the powerful Fairbanks High School lads just before the varsity entrained for the coast.
 The game which is looked upon as one of the classics of the local season demonstrated the remark able spirit of the College who by a characteristic spurt converted a score of 23 to II against them at the end of the third quarter, into victory.
 During the Anchorage series, the College was completely out of luck in the first game, being un- able to get control of the ball, while the rallying of sure-shot Valear and other Anchoragietes piled up a wide margin of points. The College came into their own in tlc remaining games, however, which they took, winning the ser ies The College lineup during the Anchorage games were:
 Gill and Chester, centers; Mover, IStranberg, Snodgrass and Ches- ter, forwards; McDonald, Snod- grass and Mover, guards. Boswell is not accompanying the squad.
 In looking over the above story Coach James c. Ryan of the Col lege, stated two other players are with him these being Kubon and Reed, both playing forward posi- tions. When asked about the pros petcs of his team cleaning house against the Seward aggregation he said they hoped so; that the Strangeness of the course is a handicap to their aspiration but, on the other hand, the College men, being older, may offset that slight advantage, if it is one.
