Railbelt Basketball Series Starts Saturday
Palmer Moose Meet Anchorage Eagles
In Initial Hi-School Contest Here
The first eager contest oi tne
Railbelt League 1951-52 schedule
is expected to fill the local gym
nasium to capacity when the Pal
mer High School Moose meet the
Anchorage High School Satur
day evening, December 1.
The doors open at 7:15 p.m. and
Coach Bob Crites warned local
fans that there will probably be
no empty seats by the time the
preliminary contest between the
two JV teams begins at 7:30. A
whole trainload of people are ar- J
riving in Palmer by special train.
Bands from both schools will be
on hand, and the Palmer High
Majorettes, first in the Territory, j
are expected to win a huge ova- *
tion from local rooters and visit- j
ors as well. Both teams are equip
ped with cheerleaders.
How many of the Palmer
Moose team will be on hand is
a question Coach Crites would
liVp to have answered. Chuck
Millis is back after three tough:
weeKS of illness but he is 10 j
pounds lighter. He may not be
able to stand the strain of the
game. Gus Klem is the only other
experienced man and he’ll be ’n j
there pitching—barring measles, j
This week Jack McKechnie was;
ut with the German measles,:
and Monte Larsh went home on
Tuesday with a very suspicious
rash.
Anchorage has a strong team j
this year. Coach Crites admits.'
They have experience on their!
side and two big bruisers that j
outmatch anything the Palmer j
team can offer. BUT, in spite of ,
all the odds against the Palmer
Moose, their coach thinks the vis
iting team can be beat. It will be
a tough battle, though, and
floored casualties from both sides
can be thankful for the three
coats of gym floor lacquer ap
plied by students this week to
minimize the splinter risk.

will be in light of the current j
