The fired up Sitka AN'B Tribe
shook proud Ketchikan at its
very foundations (before near
record crowds Friday and Sat
urday nights in a basketball
classic that provided cause for
near heart failure to many.
The local Indian club was at
its utmost Ibest and looked sharp
est since the 1950 season in
churning its way to impressive
wins over the highly touted Ket
chikan Rockets 53-46 and 84-62.
It may not be sound basket
ball, 'but .perhaps it might .be a
good idea if Southeastern foes
of the local Scarlet and White
horde would quit inciting the
Indian club ito furious heights
by scoring first.
On Friday night, before a
highly partisan throng, Ketchi
kan had the effrontry of (get
ting the Siukans down, 4-0, only
to .be trampled by the white
shirted Sitkans in the waning
moments of «the game. The Rock
ets tried it again on Saturday
and got smacked in a great 3rd
quarter .point-making splurge
by the local club.
The Rocke s made the unhap
py mistake of trying to keep
pace with the fast stepping
AiNiB Clan which ran like the
team of old. In both games, che
Rockets bung tough but ran
out of gas in the closing mom
ents.
A less couraigeous contingent
han the Rockets might have
gone quietly, but that isn’t the
way with the Ketchikan-Sitka
AN1B games. Unsurpassed for
rivalry and color, the weekend
series was basketball at its best
and provided a thrill-a-minute.
The ball hawking artistry &
great all-around play of Herb
Didrickson caught the fancy of
many. A demon on the boards,
Didrickson was at his best in
executing several spectacular
tip-in baskets on passes (from
Roger Lang.
Herman Ludwigsun was the
workhorse for the Rockets and
his terrific bombardment of
the hoop in the opening mom
ents of the wind-up of the two
game series was something to
behold. A terrific clutch player
when the chips are down, Lud
wigsun has lonjg been one of
the bright spots on the Ketchi
kan roster.
In their venture to shatter
all legends of the ANB invin
cibility on Friday nijght, the
Rockets were ground under the
ANB advance in a close but de
cisive 58-45 contest.
The final score is misleading
as it wasn’i: until the closing
moments that the local quint
was able to pull away for good
The local club had some an
xious moments Friday, drop
ping into the hoop a ball that
wouldn’t stay in. Didrickson
finally squeezed one through
to break the ice. Trailing 5-7,
the Rockets brought the house
down, taking a 22-21 halftime
lead after exhibiting some fan
cy shootinig.
The third quarter, brought
plenty of excitement as Ever
ett Williams, former Edge
cuim/be ace, entered the game
for the firss: time, breaking it
wide open with a 12 point
splurge. Going into the final
quarter with a 40-35 lead, the
Trilbe took its biggest lead mo
ments later at 46-40. From then
on, the AlfB clan went into
its fire horse style that proved
the turning point. . H. Lang
was high man with 14 while
Martinson lea the Rockets
with 10.
The amazing shooting exhi-1
biLion put on by the Rockets
in the second game was noth
ing short of spectacular. Lud
wigsun and Martinson fired
six time without a miss with
Jim Auger and J. Johanson al-.
so getLinjg in on the act. The
AiNiB kept pace at 20-20 at!
quarter’s end. Ludwijgsun con
tinued his scoring spree in the
second while Harry Lang was
storming the hoop with some
fancy hook shooting. Moses
Johnson also got busy and J.
J. Mackey took up the slack
for the Rockets with 3 tip-ins.
Halftime score saw the Sitkans
holding a slim 38-37 margin.
Ludiwigsun and H. Lang each
had 14 poinus while Johnson
was right behind with 12.
Another great third quarter
drive by the ANB, engineered
by Harry and Roger Lang,
Didrickson, Johnson and Ever
ett Williams, was all the local
Trilbe needed to take the driv
er’s seat for good.
Harry Lang had a great
night and showed 25 points for
his efforts. Johnson had 20 and
Didrickson ibagged 17.
Lugwigsun was high for
Ketchikan with 21 and Mackey
had 13.
Next big series: Philadelphia
colored giants here on Dec. 14
15. Don’t miss ft his ibilggest at
traction of the season .
Bill Martinson, Ketchikan ace
and Kayhi mentor, is a dandy
ball player and a credit to the
coadhingf profession . on
Friday nigh:, the Rockets
missed 19 out of 28 free throw
attempts. The ANB converted
14 out of 28 attempts. On Sat
urday, the Rockets made 12
out of 23 attempts while (the
ANB made 18 out of 22.
the two Igame series was the
best and most excising basket
ball this observer has seen in
three years . SJS meets
Sitka at Edgecuimbe Thursday
night in the opening session
of the Lions’ Annual Tourney
.. look for one of -the
three local schools to win the
Southeastern crown in March.

NEW YORK (/P) This is the
time of year wthen they start
firin|g the teachers because i>he
pupils flunked their exams,
and a couple of them already
have received the bad news.
Meaning that football coa
ches whose teams have had sea
sons during which they learned
to lose IgraCefully but never
did know how they’d act if they
won are covertly perusing time
tables and wondering if they
should resign or wait.until the
axe falls.
Here are a few explosions,
rumblings or just mild tremors
that have come to our attention
in the coaching field recently. (
Alton Kircher, Washington;
Stale mentor, fired.
Harvey Haranan,
coach for 14 years,
Rutgers j
relieved of {
that duty but retained in the
physical edulcation department.
Bill Glassford, Nebraska, re

ces there and says he feels
greatly relieved.

Heaviest gun battle1
of year reported
by Nationalists
TAIPEI (JP) Chinese Nation
alists and communists today
fought their heaviest gun bat
tle this year in »the Formosa
strait vestpocket war, the Na
tionalist defense ministry re
ported.
The ministry said Reds at
Lienho on the mainland and on
tiny Tatenig island fired 681
shells at Quesmoy, Nationalist
outpost just off the mainuand
in two hours.
The Nationalists hit back
vigorously and silenced the Red
guns, the ministry said.
The communique gave no
hint how many shells the Na
tionalists fired but said their
artillery “showed its firepow
er.” This suggested the Reds
received more than they gave.
Nationalist casualties were
listed as two civilians killed
■ and one wounded,
j The ministry said “several
hundred” communist troops
| were killed.

! terrorise.
7. Subversives in govern
ment no longer considered
“mere red herrings.”
i 8. The policy of bringing
J business men and business me
j thods into the administration
| of public affairs. “I do not a
; eree wi h the point of view
that this is unpopular with
the electorate. I believe they
approve.”
Knowiand also said that
since President Eisenhower
took office in January, 1953.
these things had happened:
| 1. Gross national production
| up 6 per cent, and standing
now at 390 billion dollars.
2. Production in factories
and mines up 4 per cent.
3. Construction up 19 per
cent.
4. Business investment in
plant and equipment up 4 per
cent.
5. Employment up 2 per cent.
6. Housing sit arts up 18 per
cent.
7. Personal income up 8 per
cent.
“The state of the union is
•good,” Knowland said. “To ‘be
sure there are certain agrioul
tural, mining and industrial
areas that are not up to the na
1 tional average. But we will not
solve agricultural problems by
reenacting the 90 per cent par
j ity legislation for ibasic crops,
under which more (than 7 bil
lion dollars worth of agricul
tural products accumulated,
t “Secretary Benson has (been
an able, conscientious public of
ficial, deserving the whole heart
ed support by the administra
tion, congress and the country
in his difficult assignment.
“His program of flexible price
supports, the disposal of sub
stan ial stocks of surplus pro
ducts, opening of new markets
at home and abroad, and his
support of additional funds for
agricultural research are 'bet
ter remedies than returning to
90 per cent parity (prescribed
bv the two candidates, Averell
Harriman and Adlai Steven
son.”
