30 Skiers Go
On Sunday Outing
The Valley’s first skiing out
ing, which was sponsored by the
Matanuska Valley Sportsmen,
| brought more than 30 local resi
| dents to the slopes near Inde
pendence mine last Sunday. The
group left from the Rec hall at
9:30 Sunday morning.
A class, for both beginners
and advanced skiers, was or
ganized by Russ Dow, who has
promised to instruct the group.
Mr. Dow found several members
of the group already well versed
in ski fundamentals, and he is
looking forward to the develop
ment of expert skiers.
Although snow conditions
were poor Sunday because of the
recent high winds, returning
skiers reported an extremely en
joyable outing. Members of the
group skiied down the road to
Upper Fishhook before coming
home.
It is planned to organize sim
ilar skiing outings for the week
ends as long as weather permits

SHAMROCKS UPSET NCO’S
BY SINGLE FIELD GOAL
Records mean nothing to Palm
er’s Shamrocks—especially when
those records belong to a visiting
squad. The local basketball team
proved that Saturday night when
it downed the NCO club, Post
champions, just as they would
any other basketball team.
Not that the Shamrocks had
an easy time of it. They event
ually won by a score of 39 to 37,
but there was never a moment in
the final quarter when the out
come wasn’t actually in doubt.
Jumping ahead to an early lead
in the first quarter, while the
NCO club was getting its court
legs on Palmer’s unique floor,
the Shamrocks piled up seven
points before the NCO five
scored a single marker.
That was as large a margin as
either squad held all evening.
The local quintet held a slight
edge at every quarter break in
the game. However midway in
the fourth and final period, the
visitors broke a 31-31 tie to whip
into a three-point lead.
With that slight margin, they
elected to change their game
tactics. They switched to a man
to man defense and began rush
ing the ball, which was poor
strategy as far as the Shamrocks
were concerned on Saturday
night. Twice the local five
snatched the ball from the hands
of their visitors and hustled
down for buckets. They led by
four points going into the last
three minutes, but the NCO club
! had the crowd on its toes when
| it whittled that lead in half be
fore the final whistle. Both clubs
tried and missed frequently in
that final three minutes.
Shamrock manager Art Stacey
termed the game the finest play
ed in the Palmer gym this year.
A crowd pleaser from start'to
finish, the Stacey-coached men
were ahead at the final whistle
just because they early had made
up their minds that was where
they were going to be. They took
advantage of every break the
game offered them and made the
most of just the plain funda
mentals of basketball they’ve
learned so well.
Wright’s Girls, playing a cur
tain-raiser on Saturday night,
walked away from the Post Sig
nal squad to win as they pleased.
The next, and probably final,
appearance of the Shamrocks
on the local floor this season
will be on March 20. The home
squad has a date with the An
chorage Moose five that night.
There is some conversation be
tween GI managers of Post teams
and Mr. Stacey concerning an
appearance at the Post gym, but
to date it’s not gone past the
talking stage.
Ninth Baby Checks In
At Valley Hospital
Last week’s record cradle roll
registration of eight at the Val
ley hospital was boosted to nine
this week when a tiny baby
daughter, weighing just four
pounds and a half ounce, was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Marsh of the Valley. Hospital at
tendants say the new little girl
is thriving despite her miniature
size.
Nursery cribs were filled, and
still new nursery denizens were
arriving last week, so bureau
drawers were pressed into serv
ice to take care of the Valley’s
latest babies.
