TEAM ELIMINATED
FROM TOURNAMENT
IN SECOND ROUND
They may not be Fur Dendez
; vous champions this week, but
i the Moose of Palmer High School
came home with the tournament’s
most coveted trophy, when they
brought the “A” division sports
manship award home to PalufPr.
Although the local lads were
eliminated after their first two
games, which they played while
most o fthe squad was battling a
siege of flu, they won the vote of
tournament officials, coaches and
billeting heads for the sportsman
ship award.
Coach Robert Crites said he
was not at all disappointed in the
tournament’s outcome. “If we
couldn’t have had them (the
trophies) both, then this is the one
I’d have chosen,” e declared.
Sportsmanship award in the
tournament’s “B” division, went
to Nome by a very slim margin.
Hotel officials cast the deciding
ballot in this division, Rendezvous
tournament heads announced.
Tournament champions in the
“A” division were the Anchorage
Eagles. Kodiak City High School
v.on the “B” division crown, and
immediately challenged Seward
High School, winner of the Rail
belt championship this year, to a
series to determine which team
shall represent Western Alaska
in territorial finals to be played in
southeastern Alaska sometime
this month, or early in April.
The Seward team agreed to a
two games out of three series
with Kodiak, but asked that kit be
postponed for about 10 days, to
allow the Seward-ites time to re
cuperate from a particularly
strenuous schedule of basketball
in recent weeks.
At press-time it was not known
whether the games would be
played in Seward of Kodiak, nor
when the play-off would be.
