GAME BASKETBALLIS
 TO BE PLAYED

The challenge of the "Alaskans' for basketball game to be played for the benefit of the Community Xmas Tree Fund, was accepted late this afternoon by the "Polarites, ' an organization composed of young men and women of Nome interested in athletics and social entertain ment The game is to be played on Thursday evening in the native school gymnasium, beginning at 8 pm. Proceeds, as stated, are to go into the above mentioned fund.
 The Alaskan Team is meeting to- night in the native school gym for the purpose of organization and working out preparatory to the game Thursday
 Those members of the Polarites to play basketball are re- quested to meet at 7:30 pm. in the gymnasium of the Nome Public School for like purpose.
 With the short time remaining un- til Thursday considerable activity will be apparent, but it is the prom ise of both teams that a fast, high class game will be staged for the benefit of those attending. This year has been rather unfortunate in removing all of the larger basket ball courts in Nome. Usually there has been athletic activity in the halls destroyed and series of base ball and basketball were usually started. This will be the first pub lie game since the fire, and it is that a large attendance will be on hand
