Bears Finish As Second Best Team
in West Alaska, Losing Final 59-50
The Kodiak Bears, who had a
so-so season under the tutlage of
Coach Terry McMulen, made like
the animals whose name they carry
in the Western Alaskan tourney,
finishing in second place.
The Bears dropped the champion
ship game Monday night to Eielson
by a 59-50 score with only 10 points
separating them from a crack at
the state title.
The Eielson Ravens got the jump
on the Bears and the Kodiak team
could never quite catch up. At the
end of the first quarter they
trailed 13-9, and at halftime were
behind 34-26. The third perio!
found them still eight points be

Pacing Kodiak's attack was Stan
Sargent with 17 and Richard Mize
with 13.
Racking up 6 points each were
Rick Lowry and Tom McCormick,
while Wayne Kozak and Ron Frank
lin each got 4.
To gain the finals the Bears up
set West Anchorage in the opening
game 48-47, and then on Saturday
night they edged Palmer 42-36 as

Population Grown
To 5,500 Figure?
Just Could Be...
What’s the population of the
city of Kodiak today?
The 1960 census gave it slight
ly more than 3,000 residents.
City officials claim that it has
jumped up to about 3500.
But maybe it is considerably
higher than either of those fig
ures. Manager Leon (Ole) John
son of the Kodiak Electric Asso
ciation said .Monday night that
the co-op has 1,427 connections
as of the last day of December,
1962.
In estimating populations in
the Lower 48, the factor of 3.9
persons per electrical connection
is frequently used and if it holds
true here, our population, ex
clusive of the Naval Base would
be 5,565.
Move over Ketchikan and Ju
neau, and watch your step Fair

the state’s second largest city—
that is if we can find houses for
the influx of population.
Amphibious Role
For Kodiak N.G.
Unit Under Study
Kodiak’s National Guard unit
may yet become amphibious, ac
cording to word received from Rep.
Gil Jarvela who met with Adjutant
General Tom P. Carroll this week
“to discuss the feasibility of in
cluding amphibious and small craft
training for the Kodiak National
Guard unit.”
“The General was seemingly im
pressed with this idea, and I am
sure he will explore possibilities
toward this end. We discussed this
problem to quite an extent and
concluded that if it were possible
to utilize some of the small craft
the Navy and Coast Cruard have in
Kodiak, that this would be an eco
nomical course to fellow,” Jarvela
told the Mirror.

zak and Stan Sargent working off
both boards contributed greatly to
the Bears’ cause.
The outlook for the 1963-64 sea
son is extremely bright as gradua
tion will take only one starter,
Ritchie Mize, and from all indica
tions the Bears should be battling
for top honors again next March.
