EAGLES CAPTURE
CONFERENCE CROWN
Approximately 1200 basketball
fans crowded the Palmer school
gymnasium February 7 to see the
Anchorage Eagles capture the
Railbelt Conference by a 32-30
victory over the Palmer Moose.
Uncertain of an exclusive
championship, the Anchorage j
Eagles came to Palmer determined j
not to share the title with the I
Fairbanks Malemutes who had
won both their tilts with the Sew
ard Seahawks Thursday and Fri
day of last week. During the final
minutes of play Saturday night,
the Eagles froze the ball to pre
vent the Palmer Moose from get
ting another chance at adding to
their score.
The overflowing crowd pre
vented both teams from opening
up with their usual fast plays.
Three times during period offici
als were forced to stop the game
to clear spectators from under
neath the backboards. Scoring did
not start until the last half of the
first quarter when the Eagles
dropped a field goal to give them
a 4-0 lead. They had picked up
two charity tosses earlier in the
quarter. Three baskets by the
Moose and two free throws by the
Eagles gave Anchorage an 8-6
lead at the end of the first quar
ter.
The widest scoring margin was
held by Anchorage during the
third quarter when a basket by I
Putzel gave the Eagles a seven1
point lead, 18-11. Palmer gained
ten points during this period but'
were unable to better the Eagles 1 1
score.
Playing during the final quar-j
ter brought fans to their feet j
when baskets by Winegamer and I
Geiwitz of Palmer tied the game
with a 25-25 score. The game was
again tied at 27-27 followed by
four Anchorage points, putting
them in the lead 31-27 with less j
than two minutes tof play remain-!
ing. A free throw and a basket:
by Palmer’s Brown moved Palmer j
up to within one point of again 1
tieing the game. Kahler’s free
throw added their final point. !
Kahler, the Eagle’s star center,!
was high scorer with 13 points1
followed by Geiwitz and Brown
of Palmer with 10 points apiece.
