Seahawks Lose To Malemu+es, Hope To Beet Eegies Here

The SeahaWks lost two games last week end in Fairbanks. The first game, close all the way until the last four minutes, was won by the Malemutes 55-39. This was a rather loosely played game with both teams missing lot of shots and losing the ball number of times However, Fairbanks found it's shooting eye in the last four minutes to win by 16 points after leading by only two to four points most of the way.
 The second game was entirely different, with both teams play ing much better ball. The shoot ing and passing was much sharp CT, but even then the Seahawks were unable to hit too high percentage and as it turned out that meant the difference be- tween victory and defeat. The SeahaWks actually outplayed the Malemutes but their inability to hit good shots cost them a Well-earned victory. The game ended 44-42 with the Malemutes desperately protecting their two point lead. Boe led Seward with IA points, followed by Wagner with Il and Dave Hughes with 10. Kenny Bahr and Don Ennis played good floor games.
