Bears Paw Mariners Twice To Remain
Undefeated By Scores Of 61-42,54-38
Coach Terry McMullen's Kodiak
Bears decked the Homer Mariners
twice over the past weekend, 61-42
and 54-38, to set the stage for their
important series with their confer
ence co-leaders, the Kenai Kardi
nals. tonight and Saturday.
Three charter plane loads of
Kenai boosters are following the
Kardinals, who among other ac
complishments dusted off West
Anchorage this season, to Kodiak
for the series.
FIRST ONE CLOSE
Friday’s contest against Homer
was close for three quarters as the
Kodiak quint was without the serv
ices of Stan Sargent who had
twisted his ankle Thursday night
in practice. Harry Wilson took over
his spot and hit for 9 points and
accounted for 6 rebounds.
Going into the final quarter, the
Bears held a scant 43-40 lead, then
broke away to rack up 16 straight
points to pull away. A good 42 per
cent was scored from the field—
the third game in a row the Bears
have topped the 40 per cent mark.
The scoring was divided even as
Wayne Kozak piled up 17 (plus 11
rebounds for his best performance
of the year), Dick Mize 13, Rick
Lowry 9, Harry Wilson 9 and Tom
McCormick 8.
Glen Carroll lead the Mariner
attack with 16 points.
In the preliminary game, the
Jayvees were defeated by Curley’s
Clippers 24-20 in a delayed con
test. Fleming lead the junior var
sity with 10 and Rett hit for 17
for the Clippers.
KODIAK 54, HOMER 38
The Bears slapped a tight de
fense on the Mariners, Saturday
night, holding them to 10 points
in the first half, and then went on
to score their sixth straight tri
umph. Their conference record is
4-0, the same as Kenai.
Forwards Wayne Kozak and Stan
Sargent, seeing action after being
sidelined Friday each made 17
points with Dick Mize right be
hind with 14.
Sargent also held his league
leading pace in rebounds in scoop
ing up 16 during the contest.

Cpl. and Mrs. Tom Sherman and

week for Camp Lejuene, N. Car.,

Kardinals & Bears
Meet In Crucial
League Contests
Ever seen a Bear and a Kardinal
in mortal combat?
The stage is set for somebody to
topple from the top of the heap
of the Southcentral League as the
Kodiak Bears will attempt to masti
cate the rampaging Kardinals
from Kenai, tonight and Saturday.
The visitors, backed by a cheer
ing section of nearly 100 coming
in three chartered planes, have
only one loss on their record—
and that to powerful East Anchor
age.
The K.H.S. cagers have their
work cut out for them in stopping
the Big Three from Kenai, Gary
Davis, Gary Martin and Mike Tau
rianen.
Meanwhile Kodiak has a six
game winning streak to protect
and will have a height advantage
against their foes whose starting
line-up averages at 6 feet, 1 inch.
BEARS HITTING
Coach McMullen’s charges have
shown hitting power in a respect
able 40 per cent from the floor
and have developed a well-rounded
scoring punch built around Rich
ard Mize, Wayne Kozak and Stan
Sargent.
Mize, along with guards Rick
Lowry and Tom McCormick, spark
the Bears fast break which has
been the turning point in at least
two Bear victories this season, and
it showed to a particularly good
advantage against Homer in the
Friday game.
