The 'first chapiter in the 1955
56 basketball story was writ
ten Saturday night when a tre
mendous fourth quarter surge .
by the faivored Alumni sue-.
ceeded in over-hauliinlg the SJS ,
outfit in a (featured 'basketball
headliner that unfolded 'before
a near jam-packed throng at
the SJS gymnasium. The final.
score was 46-44. j
The S JS quint nearly si jag-'
ed a ragnto-riches cakewalk be
fore succumbing to (the heavi
ly favored Alumni tin what?
was by far the best duel everj
played between these two
quints in 'the annual get-togehh j
er. It was, also the closest j
that the perpetual underdog
SJS team ever came 'to win
ning and for awhile, it appear-j
ed that lhe blue and gold!
would (at last humble the ter-’
rible duet of Johnson & Did
rinkson.
The (hero and outstanding
player in the annual melee
was Moses Johnson who play
ed 'brilliantly throughout but
it wasn’t uni.il m'id'way in the
third quarter that he showed
local tans why he is the hold
er of many Gold Medal Tour
naments, the weight of which
is enouigh to sink a battleship.
Johnson led all scorers in the
(game and ended up showing
121 poirJ ,s for the night’s work
Scoring only two in the first
hialf, “'Mighty Moe”, burned
out the hoop with 10 in the
third and added 9 damaging
i points in 'the last (frame.
I Trailing throughout It'he en
| tire game, and toy as much as
j 13 (points, the Alumni couldn’t
keep up with the rapid pace
set toy the SJS speedsters. It
wasn’t until midway in the fin
al frame that the Alumni ma
chine got its fast break into
high gear. All pandemonium
broke loose, when, led 'by ball
hawking Herto Didrickson and
Johnson, the Alumni belgan its
uphill climb and took the lead
for the first: time at 42-41 late
in the last quarter.
The house (became a com
plete bedlam when the Alum
ni went into an unsuccessful
; semi-stall that nearly ibackfir
j ed on several occasions. Gil
Hudson olf SJS added a char
(ity toss to knoil the count at
, 42 all only to see Johnson
: break loose on a fast break to
I push the Alumni back into the
drivers seat at 44-42. Didrick?
: son added another field goal
on a brilliantly executed it ip
in pass from Roiger Lang to
give the Alumni a comfortable
four point bulge of 46-42. SJS
refused to stay down and came
right back on la jump shot toy j
Les Carle ito whittle the mar
bion to Ihire “doorkeepers” on ;
the grounds that it was not nec j
essiary and furthermore “there .
is no door to this room any- j
way.”
The delegates also agreed on
a roll call vote to contract for
tape recordings to be miade of j
all pleanary sessions of the con
vention. KiFAiR of Fairbanks j
was awarded the contract all a
sum df -5,580 for 150 hours of
tape.
During the past weekend,
thee ommittees have been hold

Admits planting
Graham, a Denver Univer
sity student, had told reporters
the night of the crash that he
saw his mother aboard the air
liner for a long delayed trip to
Tilsit her daughter.
Graham told newsmen he re
turned home and was notified
i few minutes later the plane
Sad crashed, killing all aboard
gin t:o a two point deficit. But
time was running out and the
smooth hall handling by the
Alumni crew was enough to
preserve ithe winning two
point margin. „
The SJS quimt led in every
quarter, 8-6; 24-12; 37-27, and
it wasn’t until the final quar
ter that the Alumni was able
to pull its (forces together for
the final drive. lit was a good
igarne • — brilliantly played. |
The SJlS Warriors should have
no cause for gloom over their (
showing despite some spotty j
playinlg at times.
In the preliminary tilt of
Saturday’s doulbleheader, the
SJS Women Alumni returned
to their old stamping grounds
and took a 24-21 'beating by
the SJS Girls in a thrill-a-min
ute donnybroOk. Trailing the
entire game, 'the Alumni was
never beaten until the last ray
of hope faded with the final,
whistle. A real thriller — the
crowd rooked the SJS en
closure in the waning moments j
When the Alumni nearly pull-,
ed a Frank Merriwell finish in
a great drive that just fell
short.
After the smoke of battle
had cleared 'following last Sat
, urday’s game, we came up
with some interesting obssrva
tions: Having officiated the
Edbeeumbe-ANiB practice s'kir
mish and the game Saturday,
''here isn’t much to choose be
tween ithe Island school and
SJS—they are so evenly match
ed. The fames this season
should be mighty interesting
— The ANB (or SJS Alumni)
"-ere high in their praises for
both SJ'S and F<dgecumbe and
all agreed that both school
teams are sharpen hiis year than
they were a year ago — the
sportmamsbip displayed by
both teams Saturday night
was the finest that we have
seen in a long time . . the Al
umni, afl er the game Satur
day night, are thankful that
they will not have to play any ]
more games with any of the
local schools. To putt it mildly
one of' the Alumni stars staid:
“They out-played, out -hustled,
out-rebounded us, and darn
near ran our pants off!”.
next scheduled game is the big
series 'between the Ketchikan
Rockets and the Sitka ANB on
Nov. 25-26 to ibe‘ played tat the
Edgecutmibe Field House.
