The Haines Athletic Club and the Skagway High School also
played a very exciting game last Saturday night, but the weight
of the Athletic Club team told in the final score 35 - 13.
Corporal Strohlm is now the most popular man in the cpmpany
because he received a large package in last mail containing cigars
’n everything, MStrumskyn wrote back to his home folks that the
cigar he got out of the two boxes tehigfa was sent was fine.
Our baskateers are practicing hard for the games which will
decide^the Post Championship and hope to come thru on the long
end of the scores. We play the Detachment team Tuesday night and
the strong ”FH Company team, which has been strengthened by the
addition of KacKenzie, the star of the Detachment team, some time
after Christmas, The morale of our team is fine and if luck
smiles on us we expect to win.
Corporal Sammy Cobbler has become a famous bowler. In four
games last week he averaged over two hundred, bowling 241 in one
game. Privates Elbert and Eertelsen also have been turning in
some good scores bowling and we expect to develop the strongest
bowling team in the Pest this winter.1
Company "F11.
Once again come the holidays, and many are the plans for
this years enjoyment thereof.
First of course is the usual annual celebration of Christ
mas. Immediately after dinner, the entire post and Haines will
be the guest of Company "ET at a matinee dance in the E. & R.
Hall. On Saturday we will probably journey to Skagway. A basket
ball game and dance are promised us there. During the follow
ing week we hope to get games with Company "E" and the H.A. C.
On Hew Years Eve, December 31st., we will wind up the hol
idays, and the year, with a Hew Years ball, in the E. & R. Hall.
This ball promises to be the dance of the season, and
unhappy will be the man who misses it.
Company "F" played the A.H.3, a game of basket ball last
Tuesday night with very disastrous results. The final score
stood 50 to 12 in favor of the A.H.B. , caused perhaps by the
superb team work of the Natives. Well, we hope to have better
luck next time, as our team is working very faithfully and its
morale is all that could be asked.
Company ”F" extends greetings to everybody and wishes one
and all A Kerry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous Hew Year.1
