HOCKEY TEAT STRUTS STUFF
The Palmer hockey team scored, a
5 to £ win over Anchorage organiza
tion in a fast game Christmas day.
Action was the key-note of the
match from start to finish, with
the Palmer Pioneers standing the
gaff well despite the fact that the
boys have had little opportunity to
practice.
Andy Anderson and Elmer guam --
who stooped into the fracas as if
the reputation of "Dear Old Scnndi
hoovia” depended upon them -- kept
the ouck botwoon them in enemy ter
ritory most of the time, with fine
support from the other Pioneers.
Quarn scored in the first few
minutes of the game, then Andy hip
ped in three. Anchorage managed to
whangle in a couple and then, just
before the final whistle Los‘Worn
berg slammed through another. Ml
the boys worked herd for goals, and
Roland Pasco worked just s hard to
keep Anchorage drives out of the
net.
The Pioneer line-up: Pascc
Goalie; Jack Davidson-L.D.; Robert
Barnett-RoD»; Elmer Qu:m-L,W,; Los
Wernbcrg-R.W.; Andy Andorson-C.
Substitutions were $ Dave Moody
for Davidson; Carlovitch for Bar
nett; Louis Ossetter for Quam and
Franz Hildonen for Wornberg. James
Do Cicco did a splendid job of
coaching and the merit of some of
his tricky plays was apparent*
Ye Ed, manager of the team, has
secured a. rink site in the oat
field of Mr« Snodgrass that lies
just below Bert’s Drug Store, and
plans for flooding the area are
under way, then the boys can get
some i*erl practice. They won't
need much to make then eligible for
competition in the Fairbanks Ice
Carnival if they can keep up that
Xmas speed. Our Plans: Fairbanks,
Dawson and*..well, either Toronto
or the Chicago Black Hawks.

The touch of Charles Sottlemier,
now editor of the Fairbanks News
Miner, is seen in r. headline of c.
recent issue:
HE IT WAVE OF I?3 BELOW SOON FADES
The niece mentions that the
’’...moderated temperature was not
expected to he of long duration."
A prognostication that was
borne out hy an immediate fall of
the mercury to 57 below zero.
And here we are enjoying the
tropical weather of Alaskafs gar
den spot. A whole dry last week
of forty above , then up and down
for an average well above zero.
The lack of snow is a disap
pointment to many. It is easier
to haul wood on sleds, and Dave
0nkkaTs boy hasn’t yet had a chanc
to use the fine pair of skiis be
made last summer. The toboggan
that Ray Wilkes brought with him
still stands unused in the barn.
Les Ellsworth just received a
letter from his sister in Ontona
gon County, Mich, saying that they
are snowbound back there,
Les calls this weather ’summer
compared with what he is used to
back home. Many colonists from
other parts have dropped into the
office to tell us the same thing.
