 Wrangell High School vs Ju-
 neau HigE School at 7:45 o.
 clock (seccnc gam, of South
 eat Alaela prep championship
 s1ries).
 Dame Fortune smiled on Juneau High Schools basketball team last night as it grabbed the first game of the Southeast Alaska prep cham pionship series from the Wrangell invaders by the lucky and narrow score of 22 to 21.
 Whether the fickle lady will smile in the same direction again tonight as the two quintets tangle at Juneau High School starting at 7:45 o'clock, is much-debated question in town today The Wran- gell Wolves must win tonight and thereby force the series into three games, or the big silver basketball trophy, emblematic of the title, will be Juneau's.
 The 22-21 score is but a scant indication Of the lightening-fast clo-eness of last nights battle. It was ding-dong all the way. with the tally tied five times and chang ing hands no less than seven times
 Bchrends Stars
 Receiving the praise of the rec ord-breaking crowd which jammed every nook and cranny of the gym is hustling young Dutch Behrends Juneau's blond forward, who punk ed in nine points and sparked the drive which won the ball game.
 Trailing, Is to IT, the Juneau Bears played two minutes in the final period without score. Then Buddy Lindstrom earned a mighty cheer for plunking in short shot and the count stood tied at 17-all for two more minutes of dipping action.
 Then Fred Grant, Wrangel cen ter who was high for his team with seven points, rang the bell with a neat cripple. The Wolves led, 1s to IT.
 F. Grant Ousted
 Again, two minutes elapsed be- . fore Coach Harold E. Regele's club scored. It was the Dutchman- Eehrends-off on his final spurt which won the tilt. He sunk a long to tie things at 19-all.
 With three minutes to go Fred Grant was busted from the con- test on his fourth foul, and Behr- ends converted the free toss, put ting the locals ahead for good, 20 to 19. To cinch things, Dutch boomed back-with but a minute to go-with beautiful long swish CT from the middle of the floor placing Juneau ahead, g to 19.
 But the lads from around Wran- gel weren't done yet. Battling like demons they grabbed the ball anc Substitute Pete Casey sent the oval through the twine on a neat long toss, making the count, g to 2l The final gun found the ball in Wrangell's possession, the visitors vainly trying to induce Dame For tune to smile their way.
 Shooting Poor
 AS matter of fact, the Lady Fortune wasn't good to either team although the Bears did get that critical deciding point. Both quin- tets played ragged ball and missed shot after shot. That well-known nalady, stage fright hit both clubs, as is shown amply by the low scoring.
 Wrangel grabbed a 5 to 0 lead and held it for four minutes be- fore the winners could swing into action. The visitors led, to 3 at the first quarter But the half time count found Juneau forging to the front, to 8, with Buddy Lindstrom playing a great part in this drive The losers made their big bid for the game in the third period. when Dick Johnson, James Berkeley and Fred Grant went on shooting bee to give them that 17-15 lead as the final session started
 How to Win?
 So, today, the Wrangell lads are in a huddle with their coach, George Fabricius, trying to figure out some way to best Dame For tune, Dutch Behrends-and the rest of the Juneau quintet-in tonight's all-important struggle.
 As fitting half-time interlude, Douglas Gray, grade-school in
