In the second game of the sea- son, of the Channel Series, played last night in the Juneau High gym nasium, the Douglas girls scored over the Juneau sextette AZ to 9, in a game that from beginning to end was hard fought and sports manlike, but the Hilltoppers more than evened the honors for the evening when they outplayed the Douglas boys and hung up a final score of 23 to 13.
 The gym was crowded to capac- ity and the fans witnessed one of the best played battles ever staged on a local floor
 The double header started with girls from both sides of the Chan mel on the floor who, at the touch off, went into the fray with a spirit that gave evidence of a close final score. As in the game played in Douglas week ago the Fraser sisters were easily the stars of the Douglas team and from the first whistle their plays were speedy and well-executed Elsie Jensen and Ada Minzhor of the Juneau girls were the outstanding players of the local team and made several fine plays which were marked by two exceptional bits of strategy that resulted in two bas- kets for their side.
 Defensive Weak
 As hard as the Juneau girls played their defensive was not strong enough to stop the rush of the Douglas players who time and again broke through and made baskets that raised their score nearly every minute of the game.
 Miss Loves girls from the Ju- neau side of the Channel, realized that they were up against a well trained team throwing their all into the match, and the plucky feminine players, handicapped by their coach being i'll and also by the fact that they are all new and with little past experience, tried by playing good, and hard, to keep the score on an even basis, but it steadily mounted for Douglas and at the half 23 to 3 was marked on the board.
 Ha,d Fought
 The last half was even more hard fought and at the start of the tldrd quarter it looked as though the Juneau girls would make quite a showing after all, but the Douglas team members were on their toes and more than ready for the onslaught of fast vicious ball that was played during the quarter Few fouls were made and those that were made few resulting free shots were scores. The girls game ended 42 to g.
 The Boys Game
 Both of the boys teams were nervous for the first five minutes of the game. They seemed to be feeling for the relative attitude of their opponents which soon be- came evident as the boys found themselves and started to play real basket ball.
 One of the outstanding features of the game was the exceptional playing of Nelson of the Hilltop pers. Nelson has net been play ing on the regular squad but has been acting as substitute. He played well throughout the event and one more than one occas.on executed some of the best plays seen yet.
 J. Orme. playing forward was n his usual good form and the other players, Brandt, Jackson, Ramsey and sturrock played good sc.entif- ic ball.
 On the other hand the Gier brothers and Cashen also playeI fire with fire and they were back ed up by their fellow Douglas play CTS with as fine playing
 Berggren made the first goal of the game. Nelson followed by mak- ing a field goal and free throw. Nelson raised 1t by also shooting
