Shamrocks Have
Double Trouble
One group of Palmer’s hoop
sters, the Shamrocks, drank deep
of the cup of defeat last week,
losing two games over the week
end. The squad met the Palmer
High School five in a practice
scrimmage on Thursday and lost
a close one, 33 to 29.
The Shamrocks returned to the
court wars on Saturday against
the Rams of the Anchorage City
League, whom they expect to
meet later in league competition.
They faced a team of Fort Rich
ardson champions and took an
85-33 whaling that night. Ram
regulars saw action only a part
of the game. The Post speed
sters toyed with the local five
most of the time, never extend
ing themselves after the first
quarter.
Following the Saturday match,
the Ram five took wing for the
States, where they will compete
in a sectional tournament in the
Mid-West.

trouble the Shamrocks settled
down to a week of solid practice,
in preparation for the opening of
league play in Anchorage next
week. On Tuesday evening the
Shamrocks start Anchorage City
League basketball off when they
meet an Aaska Railroad five in
the opening game at the Anchor
age Gym.
The local lads hope to have
their court manners in better pol
ish for that opener, for the An
chorage City League demands,
by actual rule, a standard brand
of basketball this season.
League officials form a com
mittee of judges which watches
the performance of all League
fives. If, in the judges’ opinion,
any team is below par, that squad
will receive a warning and will
be given a two-game probation
ary period in which to boster its
line-up. If the judging commit
tee still doesn’t like what it sees
in the way of basketball in the
third game, the team may be
dropped from the league.
