PALMER DEFEATED IK FIRST RAILBELT GAME
The Palmer Moose bowed to
the Anchorage Eagles with a
score of 51 to 46 in the first Rail
belt conference game of the sea
son last Saturday.
The Moose played a good game
They were in the lead until the
second half—11 to 9 at the end if
the first quarter and 25 to 24 at
the end of the second quarter.
Anchorage’s Kohler and Putzel
slipped the ball through the hoop
after the half, and Anchorage
went into the lead 28 to 27. Millis
of Palmer didn’t like that trend,
so he brought the score back on
Palmer’s side with a one point
lead.
Larry Beck of Anchorage, con
fused at the change of baskets
after the half, dropped in a neat
basket for Palmer. It didn’t take
Putzel long to make up for his
teammate's blunder. The third
quarter ended with the Eagles
leading 40 to 34.
Although the Moose fought
hard to tie up the score in the
last few seconds, their attempt
failed and the Eagles took home
the firsts victory of the Railbelt
season.
Not only the teams but also the
cheering sections deserve credit
for the fine school spirit displayed
by Palmer.
