MOOSE PUT DOWN CHALLENGERS IN
THREE-GAME SERIES LAST WEEKEND
Climaxing their regularly
scheduled basketball seasor
before going into tourney plaj
tonight, tomorrow, and Satur
day the Palmer Moose pul
down the challenging Cordovt
Wolverines in three crowd
pleasing games last Thursday
Friday, and Saturday.
Palmer is rated seventh am
ong the teams to play in the
State tournament and was thus
liable to challenge by any team
that had not made tourney
standings. Under the state tour
nament rules, the team that
challenges a rated team may
take the latter’s place if it
c^n succeed in winning out
over the team it challenges.
Such was the case with Nome
versus West Anchorage and
C -rdova versus Palmer.
Thursday night's game go
ing to Palmer with a 69-50
score took the wraps off some
tremendous shooting averages.
Palmer’s team average, a great
55 per cent, was surpassed by
Cordova’s astounding 73 per
cent but thanks to a tighi de
fense the Moose kept the wail
ing Wolverines’ over all shoot
ing down.
Surging to an early lead in
the first quarter, the Wolver
ines were out in front 14 to 10,
but couldn’t keep the charg
ing Moose back, until by the
half they were behind 27-28 as
the Moose took over until the
lhr.al buzzer.
Coming back for blood the
second night of the three-game
series, the Cordova Wolver
ines succeed in nipping the
! Moose 61-64. Friday’s game was
a little scrappier than the pre
ceding bout with four Palmer
starters, Eckert, DeVries,
Smith, and Ingalls, being eject
ed via the five-foul route. Cor
J dova’s Jerry Behymer who su
j ceeded ir, checking in 26 points,
I also went with five fouls along
| with Jerry Lamb in the final
! 8 minutes of play.
Cordova vs. Palmer
The loss to Cordova set the
stage for the final game of the
series, which the Moose won
handily, popping up 71 points
to the Wolverines’ 47.
Saturday night’s game saw
: good ball handling from both
team. Cordova’s Jerry Behymer
| played a good defensive and
was found whizzing all over the
| court getting up in the air
1 where ball players his size just
i shouldn’t be.
Frank McKenzie was the big
gun for Palmer in the final
game by ringing 16 points after
getting off to a slow start. De
Vries. Eckert, and Felzien fol
I lowed three by three with 12
points apiece. Hal Ingalls
j rounded things out nicely with
9.
Cordova’s boys were led by
Lamb in Saturday’s game, with
19 points. Behymer and Saska
came next in line by bucketing
13 and 17 points respectively.
This three game series ends
the Moose’s regular seasonal
play. The team will travel to
Anchorage this weekend to
play the East High Thunder
birds in their first tournament
game.
