 The high score of the Channel team was made in spite of the fact that Madeline Riedi was un- able to play because of ans infect ed hand. However, the two Doug las guards, Sey and Lundell, held down the First City cagers to but 12 points. Ketchikan's forward department was the strongest part of the team, and with their being checked closely, the sextet had little chance to score.
 Sunday night the girls from the Channel were entertained by a party given by the Ketchikan team. They reported a fine time during their entire stay in the First City. and while there they made their homes with families of members of the Ketchikan team.
