 In handing the Douglas boys their first defeat of the Channel series and making it one each for the two teams. the locals put up a brand of bal tla. baffled Doug. las completely. At the same time Juneau's check up system worked well and the Islanders had few chances for easy shots. The guarding of the opposition was not so good, and the Hilltoppers found several opportunities for free shots from the field
 Douglas played about the same class of game they put up against the Alaska College last Tuesday evening For some reason they were utterly unable :. to find them selves. to get going. and after half time there seemed little prospect of their winning the game.
 Burke opened the scoring in the first period with 8 long shot from outside the 17-foot line and a few minutes later aided Junaau's score by converting a free throw. Douglas made the next score when Johnson converted. Three more free throws. which were rut through the hoop. one by Burke and two bv Cashen, completed the scoring for this quarter. Score, Juneau 1. Douglas 3.
 Douglas went into the lead shortly after the second quarter opened when Cashen made short field goal, but their lead waa short-lived. for J.
