JUNEAU BEARS CUT
 DOWN LUMbERMEN, IN REVENGE GAME
Moosemen Beat Nike. Night Owls in Practice
 Game, 37 10 B

last night in a closely guarded game
 by score of 32 to p. Both teams, using a zone defense, never let up from the time the opening horn sounded until the game ended.
 Powers of the Lumbermen opened
 the scoring with a bucket from the corner at the end of the first 30 seconds of playing. Bill Graves of the Bears brought the crowd to it's feet immediately after Powers score when he tried for goal in front of his basket.
 The Bears Schultz evened the score making it two-all when his shot from the corner fell through the net.
 Again at the end of six minutes of play the score was tied at seven all when Nickel dropped in a free throw after Schmitz had fouled him. Nickel broke the tie as the horn sounded ending the first quar- ter. Mickers shot was looping one from the key and the Lumber men were never in the lead again. They never threatened the Crimson Bears with another tie. The quar- ter ended with the score of nine for the Bears and seven for the Lumt termen.
 Bill Graves started the game moving at the end of two minutes l in the second quarter when he dropped in a two score with set up play from the corner. This was one set-up that really worked for he was closely guarded.
 In another 30 seconds, Schultz of the Bears sunk another counter from right of the slot.
 i Powers, playing steady game for the Lumbermen, had his second i deuce-spot score of the evening tailed at the end of five minutes. This brought the score to nine for the Lumbermen
 Powers and nearI.ey successfully pulled the Crimson Bears away from the basket by cross court tossing of the ball just before official time out in the second quarter. Nickel I hooked shot in from under the basket 10 seconds before the hail. ! Half-time score was Bears IT and ! Lumbermen 12.
 LAST HALF The second half started tight and slow with. most of the play taking place in mid-court. Nielsen started 1 the scoring after 1:30 into the the third quarter when he spotted two points. Nickel countered with free throw
 Powers was fast with the ball and seemed to hardly fail in his pass shots behind his back
 The biggest blunder of the game came when Nielsen tossed the ball and Brown and Schmitz let 1t go cut of bounds with neither making an attempt at getting it. Both were confused as to who would take it. The Bears took it out from there. The fastest corner set shot came when Bill Graves made his throw close to the end of the third guar. ter. When Powers made his tree throw, Schultz had four fouls on l, him. Schultz was the only Bear to have four fouls marked against him.
 The third quarter ended with the score of Bears g and Lum- bermen Is.
 Possibly the fastest part of the game was the last quarter with the Lumbermen constantly trying to at least pull even. The first real try for score in this section of the game was when Brown intercepted pass of the Bears and missed his shot from the key.
 Graves backhand drop bringing the score to 26 for the Bears, was the best shot of the game. The Lumbermen brought their score to l9 just prior to this when Powers made his free throw after being fouled by Hanson.
 To start the game rolling after the official time out in the fourth quarter, Nielsen tried long shot from the side but missed. The only score in the last two minutes of the game came when Nielsen did a one armed push shot from center The Lumbermen forced the Bears out into the court again by zone de- fense with one minute to go. The jump ball between Scott and Adams 10 seconds from final horn had the crowd yelling. But the danger was never realized for the game ended with the score of Bears 32 and Lum- bermen 9.
 High scorer of the evening was Nickel who rung in three baskets and eight free throws for a total of IA points. Powers of the Lum- bermen followed with 10 points real ized by three baskets and four free throws.
