 Douglas Win Is Close

Surpentine, blasting band, and hilarious audience which draped itself over every available seat and ended up hanging over the rails, throwing hats and yelling, last night marked one of the most sen sational games ever witnessed in the Juneau High School gym. The Sheldon Jackson s tu d ents from Sitka played an outstanding game and were able to gain the victors' end of 37-33 score over the Ju- neau High School Crimson Bears.
 Just as the final gun blasted forth Roy Smith, the local high school sensation, round himself in possession of the ball three-quar- ters of the way down the court in the opponents territory. He let go a superlative left handed shot. which flying high into the air, fell smoothly into the open arms of the hoop. That shot knotted the score 31-all and unleased din from the raving spectators that floated clear across Gastineau Channel.
 
 When the three minute overtime was called Smithy threw another left handed bucket and was match ed by Romey Atkinson to again knot the score. Another overtime period of five minutes was then called and Wallace Leash and Tommy Atkinson, each with a field goal, finally threw the Crimson Bear.
 Half at 14-13
 In the first quarter the Bears lead 4-5, then the visitors ended the half with a one-point lead, 14-13. At the three-quarter mark Juneau returned to the lead 25-2l and then it was the visitors turn to go the front and as the game ended 37-33.
 The Atkinson brothers, R om y and Tom, in the forward positions for the invaders piled up 12 and 10 points, respectively. Ed Atkin- son, who was the star center on the High School quintet at the opening of the hoop season, was a bit rusty from lack of practice and did not have much of chance to take the game away from his brothers.
 Gilbert DeVault played fine game last night for the Bears, get ting the jump, sticking to his man, and piling up points.
 En finale, it was the best game the spot fans of Gastineau Chan nel have seen in long time. It was the first time the Sheldon Jackson students have come to Ju- neau for a basketball game and it was such a success that it is hoped that their coach, R. s. Ludy, will now put the Crimson Bears on the regular playing schedule of the Sheldon Jackson School.
 Soldiers Lose
 Company F from Chilkoot Bar racks sent down the best army team that Gastineau Channel has seen in many years to oppose the Douglas Eagles, the first round champs in the City League series last night, for the opening game in the high school gym. Although the game ended in favor of the local hoopers 3l-26, it was no push over.
 Tall, blond Jack DeBord, playing forward position was the army's most sensational player and took the scoring mark for the game with 13 counters.
 In the opening quarter Chilkoot led 9-7 and then at the start of the second period raised the score to 11-7. Then along came Islander Rex Fox with two nice field goals knotting the score Hall. Again the score was squared at l3 and again Fox came toward to break the tie. For the third time the count was evened, now at l5-all Before the second quarter ended the score had jumped to IS to 15 in favor of the Eagles. DeBord proved his metal in the third period of the game, when backed up by his team leveled the score again at 26 tthe end of the period.
 Gordon Mills, another of the fine forwards of the evening, flashed in the final quarter, with Fox help ing him materially, to run the Dnuolae ecora nm fn n final 3l
