Bears Lose League Games To Kenai;
Leave Wednesday For Western Tourney
The Kenai Kardinals captured
the Southcentral League basketball
championship this past weekend
by sweeping a two game series
from Kodiak 61-54 and 64-51.
This gave the Kardinals a final
record of 11-1 and the Bears 8-4
with all four losses coming at the
hands of the league winners.
In the first game both teams
played on even terms the first half
with the score tied at 25-all at
half-time. The Kardinals, using a
full court press all the way in both
games had to freeze the ball dur
ing the final four minutes to hold
on to their narrow lead. Thor Eve
son, sophomore and son of the Ke
nai coach, was the difference as
he scored 16 points and gobbled up
18 rebounds. Dick Mize with 13
and Stan Sargent with 16 paced the
losing cause of the Bears.
SECOND GAME
Kodiak came back twice in the
second game to overtake the Kar
dinals but just couldn’t hold the
lead. They wiped out a 21-10 first
quarter deficit only to fall behind
again and leave the floor at the
half behind 29-22. The Bears made
another attempt in the third quar
ter pulling to a 39-38 lead but again
the Kardinals rallied. Ron Frank
lin, playing his best game since
joining the Bears in mid-season,
hit 8 out of 8 attempts from the
floor and scored 18 points. Ritchie
Mize lead the Bears with 19. Tail
ianen. Davis and Evenson lead a
well balanced Kenai attack with
20. 14 and 16 respectively.
TOURNAMENT
The Bears leave Wednesday
morning for Anchorage for the
Western Alaska tournament. Ko
diak. rated 6th is expected to meet
third-ranked West Anchorage in
the first game. West, however, has
been challenged by Nome and
should Nome win the best out of a
three game series, they automat
ically take third spot and would be
the Bears opponents.
Bears Land Three
On All-Star Team
Three members of the Kodiak
Bears team made the first South
central All-Conference team. They
are Dick Mize, a senior; Stan Sar
gent, a junior; and Rick Lowry,
also a junior.
Ten men were picked on the all
star team by the coaches with Ke
nai landing four spots in Evenson,
Martin, Tauriainen and Davis. Se
ward had two and Homer one.
In announcing the team mention
was made that Rick Lowry, a jun
ior guard from Kodiak battled all
season for the best accuracy mark
among shooters. Stan Sargent, jun
ior center, holds the best rebound
average per game and Dick Mize
ranks high among the top scorers
and rebounders.

the crowd clustered around the en
trance to the Mecca . . . couldn’t
get through the jam-packed en
trance so went around to the side
door where I squeezed into the
place. Found myself in the midst
of a ding-dong of a celebration as
it was Herman Schultz’ birthday
and they pulled all the stops . . .
and corks! Super Mixologist “Have
Another One" Howard Catterlin
had waiters and waitresses on the
move constantly to please the
Mitch-millering crowd accompany
ing songstress Doris Smith at the
piano while Dorothy of the 49
Room (whose got an important an
nouncement to make soon) wielded
the cake knife on one of Ralph
Naughton’s big decorated special
ties.

Stopped in Tuesday noon at
Lill's Cafe and found myself
moored alongside Lowell Wake
field of Wakefield Fisheries who
had just returned from the Seattle
fisheries meeting. Enroute back he
stopped at Seldovia where his firm
owns the Seldovia Cold Storage.
Before he left that afternoon we
assured him we would make an ef
fort to honor his invitation to drop
over to Port Wakefield way before
long.

Many local people collect drift
wood pieces from our various
beaches . . . but probably few have
ever seen what beautiful sculp
tured works of art they can be
come. Those interested are missing
something if they don’t pester
Frank Iricfc of the Sportland into
showing them the carving he
brought back from Honolulu this
week. Though he swears he se
lected it from amongst many such
works and that it was not especial
ly carved for him, many upon
viewing it, remark on its resem
blence to his charming wife.

Although everyone knows the
size of king crab pots seem to in
crease almost commensurate with
the increase in vessel size we wish
to report that there is absolutely
no truth to the rumor that one of
the big freighters plans to bring
up a pot measuring one city block
square in size which they would
pick each trip north. Guess they
lack space for anymore backhaul.

SUGGESTION OF THE WEEK:
Whyn’t PNA serve Kodiak Sand
wiches on all their Kodiak flights?
It would help promote both Naugh
ton’s Famous Russian Rye bread
(which incidentally hundreds of
stateside readers of Gourmet mag
zine order at $3 per loaf! ... It
costs only 50c here-) as well as
King Crab and Kodiak itself.
Maybe Ray Jr. oughta whisper
sweet words into Ray Sr.’s ears
about where PNA could get lots of
Martin’s Fresh King Crah!
(Should be worth another Kodiak
Sandwich at the Mirror.)
