I in incxx rapid rise as one of the
'ranking giants in the Panhan
dle district.
; Baptized into the cage wars
in 1047, the at-times awesome
Rockets were spilled in the fin
als by a great Petersburg Was
vick & Torwiok clulb in the 1st
running of the Gold Medal tour
nament of that year. After its
near miss in ’47, the Ketchikan
quint has become the most con
sistent winning entry in the an
nual Capital City Lions tour
ney — copping the title in 1948*
1950 and 1952.
I Through reaching the top on
ly once, in 1949, the local Tribe
has packed off more trophies
than have the Rockets — win
ning fourth place trophies twice
third place once and runner-up
trophies on five different occa
sions.
The first clash between the
Sitkans and Rockets was des
tined — in 1950 when 'both
cluibs had (their most powerful
aggregations. In the opening
round of tournament play, the
thrilled Juneau enthu
siasts who nearly fell from the
rafters as the Tribe went into a
three-minute stall to preserve
its winning 71-67 margin. The
best was yet to come, as Ketchi
kan (fought its way back into
the finals to set the stage for
the greatest Gold Medal thrills
of all time®. Cause for heart
failure came in the last du sec
onds when the Rockets scored
five points to send the game in
to a dramatic overtime. Ketchi
kan eventually won, 80-79 and
Sii.kans still haven’t recuperat
ed from that one. The local In
dian club fell victim to the
boisterous Ketchikan outfit in
the 'finals of tourney play in
1952 and 1954.
Boasting 7 players over the
6-foot mark and four that are
6-feet three or better, coach
Ralph Peters in a letter to Bill
Pe ers, manager of the local
Trilbe. stated that he plans to
bring a squad of nine men but
will bring a full force iff job
complications by several of his
players can be arranged. In
cluded in the Ketchikan travel
ing fold will be .Herman Lud
wigson, an all-time Ke ohikan
ace who has long been a men
ace to the ANB. A fine sport,
Ludwigsen is 6-3. J. J. Mackey
another old Ketchikan pro who
has long been a thorn in the
side to Bill Peters’ outfit, is 6
2. Dutch Echler, the tallest on
the squad, is a newcomer. Oth
ers to make the trek are: Bill
Martinson, an all-southwest
ace from Baylor; Harold Mark
uson, Dixon Tucker, J. J. Jo
hans on and Jim Auger.
Others planning to be on
hand for the series, if complica
tions in Ketchikan can be clear
ed, are: Harry Johanson, 6-4;
one of the bright stars on the
squad; Larry Erickson, another
Ketchikan favorite; John Chris
topher. 5-11; and Bill Christ
ianson, all Gold Medal stars
who delivered to Ketchikan its
brightest moments. The smooth
est operator of all is Harlan
Johnson, 6-4, the most valuable;
workman of tourney play im
1964.
The Rockets recently split a i
doubleheader with Prince Ru
pert a week and a half ago. !
Bill Peters is hoping his j
club will be alble to cope with ■
the height problem posed by j
the coming series but stated
the local Scarlet and White
may have to dejpend upon its
biggest weapon — speed, and
lots of it. He stated also that it
was hoped that John Borbridge
would foe able to suit up along
with Everett Williams, Herb
Didrickson. (Moses Johnson, Joe
Truitt, Merle Williams, Arn
old Didrickson, Merle Oyoarm
ick, Roger, Harry and Tommy
Lang. Others hopeful of gam
in(g a berth are Fenton Dennis
and Harold Frank.
