PALMER JAY-VEE SQUAD
TOPS ANCHORAGE, 27-26
Don’t ask coach L. K. Gibson
anything about last Friday’s in
ter-scholastic clash between the
first-string squads of Palmer and
Anchorage high school basket
bailers. He’d rather not talk
about that 50-16 “whomping.”
But there is one thing about
that evening that he likes to talk
about, and that’s the showing his
second squad court infants made
in downing the Anchorage men
by a 27-26 count. He’s proud of
Thuma, the Bendixen brothers,
Lucus, Hyland and Hiber, and he
doesn’t mind telling it.
“They just couldn’t do any
thing wrong,” Mr. Gibson de
clared as he praised the floor
play of forwards Thuma, Hiber
and Harold Bendixen, and com
mended the steady guard game
of Walter Bendixen and Hyland.
Edison Thuma was top scorer
for Palmer, dumping in field
goals and foul shots for a total
of nine points.
The game was a thriller from
start to finish, for Palmer trailed
in the first half, only to come
back strong for a several-point
lead in the third quarter. The
score see-sawed in the fourth
quarter, as each squad tried des
perately to build a lead.
Anchorage high school players
had two chances to knot the
score in the last 22 seconds of
play, when they had two free op
portunities at the foul line. They
muffed both tries.
The game between the regulars
was never close enough for
comment, according to Mr. Gib
son. A 2-2 tie score in the first
minute of play was as near to
victory as Palmer ever got.
The Friday game saw Don Ir
win back in the Palmer line-up,
for the first time in almost a
month. Mr. Gibson spoke warmly
of the effort he made to rally
his teammates to a winning ef
fort.

Weatherman Stops
Shamrock Wins
Saturday’s warm-up games for
the Shamrocks, in preparation
for the Cordova basketball wars
next week, were unexpectedly
interrupted by inclement weath
er.
The games were cancelled
when the Post Transportation
Officer informed team managers
that no Army vehicles would be
allowed to travel the Palmer
highway until road conditions
improved.
However, Shamrock manager
Art Stacey said both squads, the
Medics and a team from the Post
Motor Pool, asked for play dates
later in the season. It is probable
that the postponed games will be
played on Feb. 7, Mr. Stacey
said.
