PHS Defeats Fairbanks for Two Series Victory
Moose Face Anchorage
In Third Railbelt Game
With Formidable Eagles
With its third Railbelt Confer
ence game already racked up and
a lone defeat so far this season.
Palmer High School basketball
team will face Anchorage tomor
row night on the Eagle’s courts.
The game tomorrow night will be
the third between Anchorage and
Palmer in this year’s Railbelt
conference with each team cred- i
ited with one win. Inspired by j
winning the two-game series at j
Fairbanks last week and with the
Eagles already defeated once this
year, Palmer will go in the game |
tomorrow night fighting with
everything it has.
“Anchorage will have to play
the hardest game they have ever j
played to take it,” Coach Robert
Crites said here this week. “I
think the team will be as near
ready for Anchorage as they have
ever been. The boys are in good
condition and the team work is
the best it has ever been,” Coach j
Crites added in going, over Pal-:
mer’s chances with the formid- j
able Anhcorage team.
At Fairbanks last week. Palmer
won its first game 53 to 39, Thurs
day night. On Friday, the team
rallied in the last four minutes of
the game to gain a victory of 28
to 27 over the Malemutes in spite
of the latter’s fierce resistance.
“It was the roughest game I
have ever seen in basketball,”
was Coach Ci'ites’ comment on
the second game. This is the first
time that Palmer has ever taken
two games in a row on the Fair
banks courts.
The Malemutes had Palmer on
the run through the first three
quarters of the game, Coach
Crites admitted, but in the final
four minutes Palmer rallied for
a sweep of their two-game series.
The Malemutes led 12 to 7 at
the quarter and 22 to 17 at the
intermission. Palmer jumped into
the lead in the final quarter,
freezing the ball severed times. A
chance for Fairbanks to tie the
game in the final minute was lost
by the Malemutes when Jack
Lafon missed his free throw.
Harvey Hiber scored 11 points
to lead both teams for points.
High men on the Fairbanks team
were Growden and Dodson who
each chalked up five points for
the Malemutes.
The Painter team tomorrow |
night will go to Anchorage by
bus, leaving the high school
around 4 p.m.
