CHIUCOOT FIVE WINS FIRST OF SERIES WITH ’SHITE PASS CLUB:
Although hastily organized in order that the Chilkoot Barracks
quintette might have an outoftown game, and although they had no oppor
tunity to practice prior to "their first game, the \faite Pas3 Athletic
Club basketball team met- the locals at Skagway last Saturday night, the
Chilkoot aggregation ’Tinning 47 to 1. Tne game was opened by the Post
second tarn, which made a score of 13 to 0 at the end of the first half.
'ftie fist team then went in, and after a few moments without score, while
warming up and hi tti.ng their stride, the team stepped out and rolled up
the score. One arousing incident was when Harry Ask slapped the ball in
to; the Chilkoot Basket, scoring for the locals. Early in the game "Swede”
Matthews was accidexitally "kneed” by one of his team nates and fell head
first to the floor. He was "out” for some time and it required the combined
efforts of Staff Sgt. Solar of the lledical department, and Miss Lee, nurse
at the Skagway hospital,* to bring him back to consciousness. He returned
to play through the second half.
ihe real feature of the evening was the game between the Haines
and Skagway high schools. Jimmy Stidham, son 6 Captain C.W. Stidham of
this post, was star of thelocal high school, although all the youngsters
put up a snappy game. Inis contest was even speedier than the men* s game,
although somewhat lacking in the finished skill of the more experienced
players. It «s a fairly close maich, 13 to 8, and the Skagway school is
eager for a return game, hoping to retrieve their defeat*
