JUNEAU BOYS
 WIN OPENING
 GAME SERIES
Victory Taken from Pet ersburg Tn Well-Played
 me-Large Crowd
Especial to Empire)

WRANGELL, Alaska. March 17.-In hectic game played here last night between the Ju- neau High School boys basket ball team and the Petersburg five Juneau won by d score of 2S to Is
 After the Juneau visitors had piled up a sixteen to five lead at half time, the Petersburg az gregation came back strong in the third quarter and ran the score to within four points of tio.
 Petersburg opened the scoring early in the first frame with a foul conversion, but the northern team pressed forward, with diff culty. and at the end of the period were on the long end of the 5 to score.
 III the second quarter, with "Scow" Orme shooting them in at intervals, the Juneau boys ran up a big lead, at the same time holding the opposition to but two chalkers The nall end ed Juneau 16. Petersburg 5.
 Both team played great ball in the third quarter. but Run stead of Petersburg was too good for the locals and was largely responsible for the 3 chalkers made in the quarter by his team. At the end of this period Juneau led only IS to IA, in spite of the fact they were playing good game.
 Burke, Juneau guard, was forced out on fouls in the final quarter, and was replaced by Brandt. In this quarter the Ju- neau boys got away to some of their best playing and ran their score up ten points while Peters burg made but four. The spurt of the Juneau aggregation was particularly effective after the manner in which the opposition had scored in the previous Leriod.
 Jim Orme, with his shooting, and Henning Berggren, who play ed one of his best games of the season at standing guard, were the outstanding players for the Juneau boys, while Runstead of Petersburg. was high point man of the game, with nine points to his credit.
 The opening lineup for Juneau included the Orme brothers at forward, Livie at center. and Burke and Berggren as guards.
 Judging from the size of the crowd present, which was in fa- vor of the Petersburg quintet. the guarantee of $200 will be made on gate receipts.
 Coach Harry F. Waid, in a cable to the Empire declared the outlook not over bright" for the Juneau five. However, if Livie, who has run up some high scores in games played here this season, should cut loose, he should help the locals to pull one more much-necded game off the ice.
 The two teams will meet again tonight for the second game of the series, and the third game is scheduled for tomorrow even ing. The boys will return home on the Aleutian next Tuesday if the schedule is followed.
