DETACHMENT LOSE BASKETBA£K TO SITKA NATIVES,
The Sitka A.N.B. basketball team defeated the Post Detach
ment team last Wednesday night at the A.N.B.Hall in Haines, in a
hotly contested game by a score of 18 to 48. The game was snappy
from start to finish and the Natives had the best of it at all
tages and the result was never in doubt, according to the specta

rilled aggregation that seemed almost unbeatable and showed superb
earn work never before encountered by the Detachment.
