Basketball Slated
For Saturday Night
The war between the "aggres
sors” of Co. E of the 1st Battle
Group of the 23rd Infantry and
the “defenders of the north,”
our proud 1st Scout Bn., of the
Alaska National Guard, will be
terminated with a hot blood let
ting basketball game. An appeal
is sent to all patriotic local citi
zens to come and support the at
tempts of our heroes to throw off
this “yoke” of tyranny that has
been imposed upon us by these
“invaders” from Fort Rich. Lets
help get rid of those horrible di
rectives that have been plastered
all over town.
The battle, for Nome, is sched
uled to begin at 9 p.m. in the
school gym. For the locals such
proven heroes as Gordon Brown,
George and Harold Bell, Bill
Caldwell and Ron Engstrom,
coached by genial A1 Sahlin, will
make the supreme effort in tak
ing on the “pros” of the “invad
ing horde."
The preliminary game will pit
the slashing, and mad, junior
high All Star team lead by such
stars as Foobus Fagerstrom,
Stinky Hardy, Frank Outwater,
and Jake Sheldon, will attempt
to avenge their earlier defeat at
the flashy fresh group which is
exhibiting the talents of super
stars Joe Curran, Andy Miller Jr.,
Larry Martin and Buddy Walker.
This match is scheduled for 7:30
p.m.

Aggressor Forces
Stage Execution
On Front Street
By JOE RYCHETNIK
Great Bear war games moved
into high gear late last night when
aggressor forces, Co. E, 23rd In
fantry of Ft. Richardson cap
tured an infiltrating patrol of
Eskimo Scouts led by Maj. David
Money.
Rounded up on the edge of the
aggressor perimeter, the Eskimos
were searched and taken to radio
station, KICY, where a public
announcement telling of their
capture was made and time for
their execution given.
Scores of Nomeites lined Front
St. at the City Hall corner at 10:30
p.m. to watch the enemy line
up and execute the hapless de
fenders of Nome. The shots of
the firing squad brought out
dozens of surprised citizens who
were able to witness an ambush
set up by Eskimo Scouts of the
Alaska National Guard, after the
“killings.”
Military vehicles raced through
the city’s business district as a
running fire fight took over the
area and the aggressor forces
were beaten back. The citizen
soldiers of the 1st Scout Bn., ma
chine-gunned to the ground late
last night, were back at their
desks and workshops this morn
ing as the war games rolled into
their last day.
Maj. David Money, of the Army
Advisor Group said, “we were
captured fair and square. It was a
good lesson in tactics — never
use the same plan twice — at
least not with Heller’s Hellions.”
Capt. John Heller commands the
aggressor forces.
North of the city the night was
broken by heavy small arms and
machinegun fire as ski troops and
snowshoe patrols clashed with the
white-clad probing Eskiipos.

Two Nome High School
Boys Observe Great Bear
War Games at First Hand
A novel sidelight of the Great
Bear war games taking place in
this vicinity is the experience of
two Nome High School boys who
joined the corps of newsmen and
correspondents as observers lor
the Nome High School paper, the
“Northern Lights.”
Yesterday afternoon Pepper
Gray and Nicky Longley made
contact with the aggressor forces
and alter being sworn to secrecy
were taken into their camp. Last
night the boys ate supper with the
men of the 23rd Infantry and
were then returned to town. The
reason for the pledge to secrecy
was that they were later to ac
company a patrol of Eskimo
Scouts reconnoitering the peri
meter of the' aggressor line.
However, one of the boys, Pep
per Gray, was with the patrol
which was ambushed and cap
tured by the Tomahawks. He was
later “executed” with the men of
the patrol because he had neg
lected to wear his correspond
ent arm band.
