Mize and Brown led the Kodiak
attack with 18 points each.
In the Homer game, the Bears
took a 14-4 lead at the quarter and
were never headed. Scoring:
Michell 15, Olson 4, Devlin 10,
Kennedy 4, Wilson 2, Mize 7, Sar
gent 8, Brown 8, Franklin 3.
The Bears led by John Michell,
Ed. Brown and Dick Mize, who
also gained all-star recognition,
surprised the tournament with the
win over the Seward Seahawks,
and redeemed themselves for
their poor season’s showing. Out
standing defensive performance by
members of the squad, a scrappy
offensive and completion of a
good percentage of foul line shots,
enabled the local squad to give a
good account of themselves in the
tournament.

put together a car that’s sharper looking, smoother running and a bigger value.
That’s why Pontiac and Tempest stormed into third place.* Why don’t you see
your Pontiac dealer (a very happy man these days) and go with a winner?
