KOOTIE ORCHESTRA DANCE NILh BE BIC EVENT OF THE .MO Till:
The "Kootie Orchestra" dance, to be given tonorrow evening (January
12) in the Recreation Hall (Building 14) will unquestionably be the so
cial event of the month here, since the H#3» Fornance will return from
Skagway in tine for the dance, bringing a large crowd of the wit and
beauty .of that city. A second trip will be made after the dance to re
turn these guest3 to their hones.
The Kooties have obtaine 1 a large supply of 3ouvenirs, which will be
sold at the lance for the benefit of the orchestra fund, and it is ex
pected that everyone attending the dance will purchase one of these at
the reasonable pr.ce asked, since admission to the dance is free. Refresh
ments will be served.
A recent addition to the orchestra is Hiss Bay Loving, daughter of
Captain R.S.Loving, post surgeon- Miss Loving took up the study of the
soprano saxaphone two months ago, and has already made such progress
that her presence in the orchestra is highly to be desired.
Mrs. Tim Voge3, of Haines, has been practicing with the orchestra
daily, and will, as at the several recent dances, preside over the piano#
The improvement in the orchestra due to having;a pianist of Mrs* Vogel's
ability has be.en most mark®!.
HAKES B1SK3T3AU. OTFIT '■/Xi'JS JllCH POST:
The Haines Ath3 eti.c Club basketball team defeated that of this post
last Tuesday evening at A*B* Hall by a score of 2d-20* jlie game unques
tionably resembled a battle, with all its rumble and grumble and roar,
more than the contest described in Spaulding's Basketball Cuide; but to
the spectators, keen for a$y har if ought affair, it held more thrills, per
haps, than if according to the rules and regulations* Referee Ray Combs,
who took that job under protest, 9aw a good many of the fouls; but to
catch 'em all would have taken six or eight officials*
Steve Sheldon, of the Haines team, was the shining exception, his game
being more nearly basketball and less a battle royal* Clarke and Bruhn of
the Post team,also played basketball in the rare intervals when their op
ponents were not clinched with them in a wrestling match*
Bob ialkley, one of the post's stars, was early put out of the game by
the four personal fouj rule* He should have been preceeded by Donnelly, at
least, of the Haines team* Before leaving, however, Walkley made one of the
two spectacular throws of the evening, netting a field goal from mid-floor*
Will iillard of Haines duplicated the throw from almost the same position in
the second half. One of the amusing incidents ’was when Ualkley, attempting
to recover the ball under the liaine3 basket, accidently knocked it over anu
through the hoop, scoring two for nis opponents.
Despite the score, the Post had possession of the ball most of the time,
and sho ved decidedly better team work* 'They were unable to win largely be
cause they were unable to toss the baskets; whereas Haines, whenever they dt
^et the ball where they wanted it, sunk it through the hoop.
iTilson, of the cost, was handicapped by having to car^ry a Haines player
on his hack whenever he tried to move. Phillips played his usual good game.
