PIONEERS TAKE A'CKOAAGE --
FAIRBANKS TAKES ^IONEERS
IK FaST HOCKAY LATCHES
The Palmer "Pioneers- showed up
well in fast company when they at
tended the Anchorage ''inter Sports
Tournament last week-end.
The first clash was with Fair
banks on Saturday morning when the
Pioneers took a 9 to 3 trouncing.
It was, however, a much better game
than the score indicates, every
play being hotly contested.
The score at the end of the lot
period was 2 to 1, and it was when
the 2nd started that the boys from
the valley felt their shortage of
men for Fairbanks came out with a
strong line-up of the college boys,
giving them almost a whole fresh
team.
It was the first time for our
goalie, Pansy Karlovitch, in that
position, and though he fought the
puck with the fury of a demon the
boys from the interior continued

last period, with the score 7 to 1,

up with the puck and took angle
try at the goal. His stick was
half blocked and the rubber disc
barely crept for the target. Losey,
Fairbanks goalie, turned the color
of a beet when it slipped past him.
pear the end of the game Lord
Lathe wrhizzed in a fast one and the
score stood 3 to 1 at the finish.

In their first game with the
Anchorage team Palmer came out best
t 4 to 1, fuam played an excep
ionally good defense game through
out and Gar Anderson’s tricky puck
carrying had the host city hoys a
little bewildered.
In the second game with ancho
rage, considered by many as the
best match played during the tour
nament, every inch of every advance
was fcught for by both sides. It
was tight hockey from the first
whistle till both tired teams re

PRESIDENTT S BAIL SET
FOR S A TURD IT, FEB.
Hr. Howard Lyng, General Chair
man, has kindly consented to write
for us the set-up for the Presi
dent's Ball, being held on Washing
ton's birthday rather than that of
the "resident because of the quar

As this is ■' soci .1 event being
held for the express benefit of the
people of the Valley and expecial

that everyone come. Arrangements
have been made whereby those Col

in outside employment will have
the admittance charge advanced for

of cots and mattresses where they

There will be no charge for

ly completed md the President’s
Ball, put on by the Colonists and
the Palmer Democratic Club, will be
an eminently fitting manner to ded
icate it.
The real purpose cf the offail
aside from a get-together for the
Colonists, is to raise a little
money as a contribution to the, pet
charity of president Roosevelt, the
Georgia Foundation, which he estab
lished several years ago for the
relief of children of the U. S, A.
suffering from infantile paralysis.
It will be an extremely nice
gesture on the part of Colonists
and residents of the Valley to turn
out in force as an expression of
affection and thankfulness to the
man whose vision -nd energy is dir
ectly responsible for this great
project, end the hundreds of hc.ppy
