It may be necessary to make some
changes, due to scholarship diffi
culties, but otherwise about the
same athletes will probably see
action as were used against Eklu^na
last Saturday.
i Both Palmer clubs looked good
against Eklutna last week and wen
their games handily, though the 17
to 13 victory which the girls turned
in was well earned as the visitors
pleyed to win throughout the contest.
For the girls, Laura Franco and
Jeanette Hemmer starred, but they
were ably seconded by several others.
Darrell McKechnie was the high rr n
in the boys' tussle and looked es
pecially good on offence. The beys'
team excelled in defense-play, b>t
had no trouble in holding their
rivals to a 25 to 9 count. Dece er
9, both clubs will play on the
Eklutna floor,
