Independents Best
Shamrocks, 44-34
The Palmer Independents, new
comers to the Valley court wars,
bested the Shamrocks by a. big 10
points in a crowd-pleasing pre
season game last Saturday night.
The Shamrocks think it can’t be
done twice, and have asked lor a
return engagement this Saturday.
The game will be played at 8:30 at
the Gym.
Both squads looked about as
might be expected in a season
opener. Both lacked adeqquate re
serves and both showed the need
of further practice sessions. The
winners, in general, played a
smoother floor game than did the
Shamrocks.
The squabble grew rough in the
latter half, as the Shamrocks edged
the Independents for a few seconds
late in the third quarter. Fouls
were about evenly divided, with
Shamrock Vernon France winning
top honors in the foul column for
his usual slam-'em-hard game Sat
urday night, with teammate Bud
Billot assisting when he could.
The Independents’ Lee Young
was top scorer with 18 points, all
field goals. Ray DePriest, Sham
rock recruit at center, was close
behind with seven field goals and a
foul shot for a total of 15 points.

said would be unsatisfactory by
spring, thus snarling traffic be
tween the two cities. --
“PRA knows this road is going
to fold up in the spring.” the doc
tor said. “They expect it and are
preparing for it now. There is no
tack coat under much of it and no
seal coat over at least half of it.
It’s bound to crumble in spring.”
The rebuilding of Eklutna School
in the Valley again touched off a
discussion that lasted far beyond
the bounds of a Chamber meeting.
A phrase “militant minority” tag
ged to those opposing the school
by ANS director Don Foster preci
pitated hot arguments.
Race prejudice, educational ad
vantages for the native and the
white child, disadvantages for the
native and the white child, politics
and citizenship, all were touched
on by those who favored or op
posed the plan.
The meeting concluded with no
Chamber member having changed
his point of view or that of his
neighbor.
