Kodiak Bears Feast Twice on Palmer
Moose To Boost Season Record To 8-6
The Kodiak Bears feasted on
Moose last weekend, and came
away from the dining table well
satisfied with the 41-36 and 37-33
devourings of Palmer Moose.
For the visiting Moose the two
losses here made their four-day
journey into Southcentral confer
ence land, a nightmare. Prior to ar
riving here, they lost games to Ke
nai and Homer.
Coach Clifford Jantz of Palmer
probably wished his club had been
weathered out of Kodiak. It was
touch and go if the Moose would
get here because of fog. However
they landed Friday evening, and
prepared for battle. On both nights
the games were pretty much touch
and go, with the crowd delighting
in the close encounters.
8 6 RECORD
The Bears’ two wins gave the
local club a season high school
record of 8 wins and 6 losses. In
Conference play, Coach Terry Mc
Mullen’s crew is in second place
with 6 wins and 2 defeats.
Last Friday’s game saw both
teams start slowly with Palmer
ahead 5 to 4 at the end of the first
quarter. Moose forward Chuck Fel
zien provided the scoring punch
for the visitors, hitting for all 5
vointr. and adding five more to
give the ?.locse a narrow 14 to 13
lead at halftime. For the Bears
Ritchie Mize and Tom McCormick
shared the scoring in the first half
aided by Rick Lowry.
At the start of the second half
the Bears shooting and play-mak
ing picked up considerably, as Ko
diak jumped into a 19 to 14 lead
in 40 seconds time. McCormick and
Lowry sparked the drive, and after
that the Bears were never headed,
leading 26 to 21 at the close of the
third quarter and then moving on
to the final 41-36 victory.
The Bears zone defense gave
Palmer headaches all evening, and
even more so Saturday. Seldom
could the Moose get in for a close
shot, and they had to rely on left
hand sharpster Felzien from the
corner. He was high for the game
with 17.
The Bears spread their scoring
about with Mize top man with 13,
followed by McCormick with 11.
Lowry poured in 8 and Stan Sar
gent 7. Wayne Kozak and Ron
Franklin each scored 2 points.
Kodiak hit for 16 field goals in
49 attempts for 32 per cent shoot
ing. Palmer dropped through 15 of
60 attempts for 25 per cent.

Kodiak: Mize, 13; McCormick, 11;

SATURDAY GAME
Saturday’s close 37 to 33 win
proved a thriller right down to the
final whistle, but Coach McMullen
can blame any grey hairs on the
inept free throw shooting of the
Bears.
They hit only 3 of 10 attempts,
but fortunately hit for 17 field
goals while Palmer managed but
13 against a rugged defense of the
Bears.
Where Palmer’s Felzien had
been dangerous Friday, he was
covered like Matt Dillon would
cover Dodge City’s No. 1 ba'dman.
To Rick Lowry must go the he
ro’s role with great support by Tom
McCormick. Lowry was all over
the place, hitting on driving lay
ins. or dropping them with a com
bination overhand one or two hand
shot from 15 to 20 feet out.
In the final period, with Palmer
showing unmistakable signs of up
setting the Bears, Lowry pumped
one in from 20 feet to put the
Bears ahead 26 to 25. Then Pal
mer’s Felzien countered one of his
few times with a 20 footer to edge
the Moose in front 27 to 26. McCor
mick countered with a rebound
goal, but two free throws by
Wayne Eckert put the Moose in the
lead 29 to 28. Sargent and McCor
mick roared back with quick bas

with only 2 minutes to go the
Moose led 33 to 32.
Then with the fans frantic, the

moving like a runaway freight

lowed by McCormick’s free throw
to ice the game at 37 to 33.
The lead changed 15 times in

Maybe next they’ll be looking
up Alaska way.
From a column written by
Bernie Wynn in the Phoenix,
Arizona, Gazette we read of an
other spoof on the Kennedy clan
now going the rounds under the
guise of a news service report.
“President Ted Kennedy, com
menting today on the Russian oc
cupation and fortification of
Long Island, the Panama Canal
and the southern tip of Florida,
said ‘We are watching these de
velopments carefully and have
sent a stiff note of protest to
Moscow’.”

Letter to the Editor
To Whom It May Concern:
I’ve only lived here in Kodiak a
little over two years, but that is
long enough to have seen the car
registrations and sales taxes in
crease. It has also been long
enough to hear a lot of talk about
better roads and streets.
From what I’ve heard and seen,
I would venture to say this town
is all talk and no action. By George
this money is all going somewhere,
(there are several opinions on
that) but where. I am very dis
gusted (and I’m not alone) with
this situation as a whole, but es
pecially with the road situation,
or shall I say the “Cow Path” situ
ation. There’s been a lot of snide
remarks made in this paper con
cerning the “Base” and it’s per
sonnel from time to time, but by
cracky the UNPAVED roads on
the Naval Reservation are in bet
ter condition than the PAVED
roads in town, to say nothing of
the UNPAVED roads in town.
One other thing on the town
roads. During the one and only
bad spell of winter weather we
had a month or so ago, there was
no effort what so ever, that I could
see, made to prevent the deathly
slick driving.
I know I’m not alone when I say,
I am tired of paying high sales
taxes, and motor vehicle taxes, and
not seeing any improvements ex
cept in some peoples bank ac
counts. I myself am damned tired
of broken springs, shocks, and flat
tires, because of these “Obstacle
Course” driving conditions, and
Bear Trap holes, in Kodiak’s “Cow
Paths.”

ABOUT IT.’ . . .
