Nome Team De
feats Hi School
Winning Series
In the most exciting game
of the series, the Nome bas
ketball team nosed out the
Nome High School as the
winners of the games being
given. Other teams in the
league have been defeated
twice while the Nome team
has lost only one game. One
game remains to be played
between the Nome High
School and the Alaskans,
to decide who shall be in
second place.
The game was a tight one
several minutes elapsing
between the securing of
field goals on both sides,
with close checking prevail
ing throughout. Through
three quarters the game
continued in this manner,
until the start of the fourth
period, when the High
School cut loose to come
behind and lead the Nome
team. However, the score
was again tied and shot af
ter shot on both sides net
ted first one team and then
the other, the lead, until
just before the whistle,
when the Nome team shov
ed in two quick baskets to
take a two-point lead. The
High School was unable to
score again before the
game was over, and the fin
al score was Nome High
School 20. Nome team 22.
The preliminary game
was between the High
School girls and the Grade
School girls and- ended in
victory for the High School
by a score of 22 to 18. The
girl’s game brought back
memories of the many ex
citing contests between wo
men’s teams in Nome a few
years ago. The Native Gym
was nearly packed to capa
city to see the games and
much interest was evinced
in the girl’s game as well
as in the game between the
men.
The next games are to be
played next Monday even
ing, the main event being
between the Alaskans and
the Nome High School. The
names of the teams for the
preliminary game will pro
bably be announced later
