PALMER TO PLAY
FINAL RAILBELT
GAME SATURDAY
Coming to Palmer Saturday
with a determination to take the
winning end of the score back to
Anchorage will be the high school
Eagles basketball team who are
scheduled to play the last game
of the Railbelt Conference against
the Palmer Moose.
Only an upset at Seward where
the Fairbanks Malemutes axe
playing their final game tonight
with the Seahawks will prevent
a possible tie between the Fair
banks and Anchorage teams if the
Eagles fail to fulfill their triumph
over the Palmer five.
Anchorage feels a win here at
Palmer is a "must” and have been
grooming for the event all week.
However, Coach Crites boys may
have a surprise for the Eagles.
Anchorage is leading the confer
ence with nine wins and only two j
losses while Fairbanks has 7-3 i
record.
The Malemutes are meeting the
Seward team on the Seward floor,
where last week Anchorage was1
surprised to find a different type
basketball than they had anticip- j
ated, taking their wins the hard
way. Should Fairbanks lose to the
Seward five, their chances of win
ning the conference will be nil.
However, should the Anchorage
Eagles lose to Palmer Saturday
night the best they can do is tie •
the far-north city for first place, '
providing the Malemutes are vie- 1

made available through the Pal
