On the we Of their departure for Petcrsburg to play the Vikings for the championship of Southeast Alaska, the high riding Juneau High School Crimson Bears last night took an unceremonious drub- ping from an inspired Elks squad.
 The Elks had won but one league game so far this year while the High School had won four of six league games, losing two by hair to really strong lives. Last night the Elks upset the dope and won by a score of 32-29
 AS the game got under way, it looked much like. another High School romp-away as they bagged three points and the Elks took time out.
 The Elks rallied with two field goals by Young and Keith and then at quarter time, the score was even Stephen at eight points
 18-I5 at Half Time
 From there on to the midway post, the game see-sawed one way and then the other with the Elks out in front 1915 at the half.
 In the third quarter, Elks turned on more driving power and main- tained their near perfect defense to run the lead up to 28-19, at which stage of the game the High School lads turned loose a fourth quarter rush that almost ran the Elksmen off their feet, but not enough to win the game.
 The High School potted four free losses and three field goals in the last quarter while the Elks made but two free throws and one field goal in the period.
 McDaniel of the High School op- ened the fourth frame with two field goals in a row to narrow the Elks lead to five points with sev- eral minutes to go. Behrends Gets Posses BehrendS of the Elks followed with two free losses, then Powers of the High School sank free throw. Druliner of the Elks was fouled out of the game and High Schools Miller sunk his free shot. Behrends came back after miss 'ng a set-up and potted long re- ound shot. Powers potted field cal and then after the horn had nded the game, stayed on the floor fire two free throws he had been warded ard made them both to
 Id the game with but two field
 ,als separating the two scores.
 Were the Elks lucky? No
 What happened last night veri-
 ed son,ething said before the anne started when we didn't expect
 ruliner. Orme and Behrends of le Ef stand the burning school ace. It ffered that three such ocd e'le~ can make it tough to
 in bqll game
 And there was the lesson the Iigh School learned on the eve of heir championship series with petersburg-it is one thing to run up a fancy score in a wide open game, but it is still another thing to run up enough points to win when the opposing team builds up ! perfect man-to-man defense.
 It is interesting to note that Dutch Behrends of the Elks was on a championship Juneau High School team some years ago, and so was Jim Orme, more years ago. Those two men covered like a blanket at all times and with Druliner backing up the play, made hard wall to crack. Keith and Young of the Elks, not so strong on defense, made up for it on offense and produced the last element of a well balanced team.
