WRANGELL OVER PHS IN 62-61 THRILLER

The Wrangell High School Wolves and the Petersburg High School Vikings gave the basketball fans their moneys worth even after the whistles blew last night. II was either Wrangell's good luck or Petersburg's bad luck that gave Wrangell a 62-61 victory af- ter the Vikings Kito missed two free throws with the game over
 The game was tied 2S all at halftime on a ter-the-whlstle free throw by Hall of PHs.
 Wrangell took the first quarter of the game 17-12 mostly on the shooting of center Leonard Anger man.
 Tagaban scored half of Peters, burg's 16 points the second quar- Ter but it was Halls free throw after the half ended that tied the game 2S and 28.
 The visiting blue and whites took a quick three point lead in the third quarter and held a small edge until a minute to go in the third. Then Earl Jenkins put up two long shots and Wrangell left the floor leading 47-45 as the third ended.
 In the fourth, PHS went ahead 51-49 but Clint Miller tied it at 51.
 A double foul was called on Angerman and Tagaban. Anger man missed but the Viking con- nected and PHS lead for a minute until Thorn Ferguson's field goal
 Hall and Tagaban put Peters burg ahead again almost immed- lately and they held the lead un- til a minute and a half to go.
 Then Miller sank two free throws to give WIS a 6O-59 lead With less than a minute to go, Jenkins added two more free throws followed quickly by a Viking field goal, Wrangell still lead 62-61.
 Kito got the ball after a tip off and raced for the basket but the final horn sounded before he could shoot. However, he was fouled just before the horn and got two tries at the basket that could have won or tied the game for the Vikings. He missed both shots as the standing crowd held its breath.
 Wrangell went to the showers with a one point victory. 62-61.

KETCHIKAN ROCKETS SWAMP THUNDERBIRD6 IN TWO GAMES

The / Wrangel Thunderbirds sailed to Ketchikan to play the rainy city's Rockets Tuesday and Wednesday evenings this week but maybe they shoulda stood in btd." They dropped the first game 85-55 and the second, 79-58.
 The Ketchikan News reported the rough boat trip and the small, UCLA-type, floor probably slowed the Wrangell team as they had played better ball when they split a series with the Rockets earlier m the month.
 Arnold Bakke, a defensive ra- ther than a high scoring player, was high point man for Wrangell the first night with IA points. Lloyd Rinehart, the Thunderbirds leading scorer, only counted for 10 with Harvey Gross, Fred An german and Charles Berg not ev-n making the double figures as they usually do.
 The second night the Wrangell boys felt little better but could not sem to hit anything although ,tro3s got back in stride with 19 to lead the Wrangell scoring. Lloyd Rinehart followed closely with IS.
 The Thunderbirds and the Ro- ckets both play in the Gold Medal Tournament in Juneau starting next Monday so the teams may meet again.
 Wrangell beat the Petersburg Blks two straight, won one out of four from the Rockets and with several easy victories over the To- cal high school, looks like a better representative for Wrangell in the tournament than last year.
 They will fly to Juneau this week end with manager Howard Churchill.
