Shamrocks Lose
To Independents
For Third Time
For the third successive time,
Palmer’s Shamrocks last week
failed to best the local Indepen
dents on the basketball court.
Latest score in the home vs.
home games was 50 for the In
dependents and 42 for the Sham
rocks. The eight-point margin is
the closest Shamrock hoopsters
have come to an even score. Most
of that total was rolled up in a
fourth quarter rally in last Sat
urday’s game.
Both teams were below full
strength on Saturday. The Sham
rocks Vernie France was missing
from the line-up. and Walt Par
cells of the Independents was
benched with an injured knee.
Scoring honors were very close.
Lee Young of the Independents
topped the field with 12 points,
trailed closely by captain Dale
Roetman with 11. Bud Billot and
Ray DePriest of the Shamrocks
each counted for 10 points, and
Miles France and Emil Waldal
gathered 9 markers each.
Fouls were as evenly divided
in the closely-called game. Each
team had a total of 20, and each
team lost one man via the foul
route in the last half. Shamrock
shooting from the foul line was
improved, and counted for 10 of
their 42 points. The Indepen
dents made 14 points, 6 of them
by Lee Young, at the free-throw
line.
No further matches are plan
ned between the two teams at
this time, as both squads are eye
ing competition farther afield.
SHAMROCKS MEET
CITY LEAGUE RAMS
ON SATURDAY
The first basketball five for
eign to Valley courts this season
will trot onto the floor of Palmer
Gym next Saturday evening for
a meeting with the Shamrocks.
The game, scheduled to begin at
7:30 p. m. will pit thq Shamrocks
against the Rams, future oppon
ents in the Anchorage City
League. Since the season is not
yet open in Anchorage, Satur
day’s game is to be a practice
tilt only.
Vernie France, out of the line
up in last week’s Shamrock meet
ing with the Independents, will
be back at his usual guard posi
tion for this game.
Bernie Bouwens, Shamrock
coach and manager, said league
schedules and play dates had not
yet been fixed in the Anchorage
loop. The Shamrocks are at
tempting to get some of those
league games moved to the Palm
er floor.
Saturday’s game will be follow
ed by a dance, sponsored by the
local chapter of the American Le
gion to benefit the building fund.

FARMING
For modern, more efficient forming, electricity
is a necessity.
For example, in the barn electric lights make
cleanliness easier; electric milking equipment saves
