Division together with a special
committed, is preparing to stage an
amateur night in the Dream Theatre

give a large dance any place in

Indications point that the activity
this year will far surpass that of a
year ago. The citizens are especial
ly interested in this wonderful pur
pose. There is no known paralysis

BASKET BALL
SCHEDULES ARE
NOW ARRANGED
The basketball committee organiz
ed for the purpose of arranging a
: basketball schedule among four
teams known as the Alaskans, High
; School, Nome Athletic Club, and
Polarites, met yesterday afternoon
in the Nome Public School and dis
j cussed the various questions to come
jup at that time.
It was agreed to stage the*first
games Saturday, February 16th, in
the gymnasium of the native school.
Another point decided was that
there would be two games on each
game-night.
A schedule was arranged by tak
ing four numbers representing the
four teams and matching them
against each other. After this was
done, four numbers were placed in
a hat and eadh representative of
the teams drew a number from that
hat and his team was henceforth
known as the number. In this way
the fixing of the schedule was en
tirely left to chance and proves to
be a fair and unbiased manner in
which to match the teams.
The matter of practice nights for
each team was left up to each team I
to arrange for certain nights during
the week.
The schedule follows: 1. Polarites
vs Alaskans, Nome Athletic Club vs
High School; 2. Alaskans vs N. A. C.,
Polarites vs High School; 3. Alas
kans vs High School, Polarites vs
N. A. C.; 4. Polarites vs Alaskans,
Nome Athletic Club vs High School;
5. Alaskans vs N. A. C., Polarites vs
High School; 6. Alaskans vs High
School, Polarites vs N. A. C.
It was agreed thqt all funds clear
of expenses should be turned over
over to the Bering Sea Club, an or
ganization devoted to the purpose
of relieving certain types of
destitution among the natives of all
religious denominations or creed.
