Wasilla resident, was found guilty
and fined $200 on a charge of
killing and selling moose, in the

cow moose, two bull moose and a
calf.
Questioned further, the Wasilla
native admitted he had killed the
animals. He said he had sold
meat to Olaf Erickson of Wasilla
and to Pasco “Pete” Lucey of
Palmer. Erickson also was tried
in commissioner’s court at Wasil
la and was fined S75 for the pur
chase of Moose meat.
Lucey, tried Wednesday in the
court of U. S. Commissioner Dor
)thy Saxton at Palmer, was fined
$100 on a similar charge.

Tournament to Run
Until Time for
Baseball Practice
Intramural basketball will fill
!n the gap in Palmer High
School’s sports program between
the closing of inter-school compe
tition in basketball and opening
of track and baseball activities,
coach Robert W. Crites said this
week. The intramural sports
tournament began here this week.
Competition includes students
of the junior high level through
the high school ranks. Experi
enced court players are spotted
through the participating teams
so that no team is unequal in
strength to any other, Mr. Crites
said. The tournament will be a
double-elimination type, requir
ing two losses for elimination
from play.
The games are being run off on
a quarterly basis during the
eighth period of each school day.
Two separate games, or* four
teams, are played each period.
The emphasis in this tournament
is on total player participation,
rather than outstanding basket
ball ability, the coach explained.
Mr. Crites expects the tourna
ment to last through next week,
at least, and it may extend longer
if weather does not permit base
ball and track turnouts by that
time. Palmer expects to enter in
terscholastic competition in both
these sports activities this year.
