Inlet Girls Confident They Will
Win Game This Evening.
The Seward High School girl’s bas
ketball team hung it on the Anchorage
girls last night at the S. A. C. gym, in
the first game of a series cf three, by !
the score of 10 to 5. A large crowd
was in attendance as it was opined
freely the visitors had many fine oppor
tunities to reverse the final score. Ac
companying figures bear out the asser
tion. Both teams, however, showed
considerable consistency on the of
fensive and both also played well on
the defense.
The ball was in Anchorage terri
tory most of the time, but as one spec
tator stated, that did not mean any
| thing. On the other hand the visiting
jcagers displayed flashes of passing
which made the locals’ eyes stick out
so far they could have been knocked
out with a broom handle. Of excep
tional worth and note was the splen
did system of guarding displayed. Shot
after shot was ruined, many a time,
on both sides, by the alert guards.
Forwards on both sides were slightly
off for the thud and smack of missed
field goals played a regular tattoo
against the cage platform.
For Seward, Cecil Leslie starred,
not only being high cage thrower, but I
also in passing. Roberta McIntosh co
starred with Cecil owing to ability dis- j
played in the many scrimmages and
in waltzing the ball down the floor.
However, to overlook or not to men
tion the steady playing of Clara Man
they, Kathryn Neville and Elsa Larr
sen would be unfair. Taking them
all in all, they are a “sweet aggrega
tion.”
Cecil Leslie heaved in three field
baskets, Kathryn Neville one and Elsa j
one. In forty-two attempts to throw
field baskets, the locals made five. In
three tries for foul throws, all were
fluked.
In comparison to these figures the |
Anchorage cagers made sixteen at
tempts to throw in field baskets, mak
ing two. In six attempts at foul throws
they made one. Helen Welch, star- .
red for her team mates, by her skill- ^
ful floorwork, besides making one field i
basket. Mabel Teeland, calmly snap
ped a field basket in from out a scram
ble of players, and Edna Allenbaugh
dropped in the only foul line throw of
the evening.
.Frances Nichols, center for the An- 1
chorage five, co-starred with Miss
Welch, as also did Anna Diamond, the
speedy forward. Mabel Teeland and
Edna Allenbaugh, guards, played their
position like veterans. Lily Hedberg, c
forward, who started in the first quar- £
ter, was replaced by Miss Welch. Lily
looked good under the basket, and is
rated one of the Inlet team’s most *
accurate shots. *
Elsa Larrsen made a foul throw in £
the first quarter for the locals but 'l
overstepped the mark, the point not 1
counting. j ‘
During a mixup under the Seward '
cage, Nichols accidentally popped the 1
ball into the local’s basket. The ball
being still in play, Leslie grasped the 1
opportunity and made a rapid fire 1
short field throw.
The score by quarters: Anchorage 1
0, Seward 2; second quarter, Ancho- {
rage 0, Seward 4; third quarter, An- (
chorage 2, Seward 4, and last quarter 1
Anchorage 3, Seward 0.
McEwan refereed the game without ‘
a dissenting murmur from either side
and kept the ball in play as fast as ‘
possible. <
Miss Mans and Miss Bevier, coaches '
of the Anchorage and Seward teams, '
respectively, wrere well pleased with
the showing of their teams.
Tonight’s game will start at the us
ual time, 7:30 o’clock.

PLEASANT INCIDENT RECALLED
BY MR. AND MRS. SCHMITT
RECENT SEATTLE TRIP
One of the pleasant remembrances
of their recent trip to Seattle by Mr.
and Mrs. George Schmitt, was the oc
casion of their visit with Mr. and Mrs.
H. E. Ellsworth, Seward residents who
have been spending the winter in Se
attle. Mr. and Mrs. Schmitt were
in Seattle for two weeks, registered
at the Atwood Hotel, and on the first
Sunday the Ellsworths drove up and
invited them out for an auto ride
about the Queen City.
They motored about the numerous
highways winding up later in the day
at Kirkland where the mother of Mrs.
Ellsworth, has a splendid five-acre
tract under cultivation. There, a wron
derful dinner was served them which
consisted of fresh pork and vegetables,
raised on the farm.
It wras the first time Mr. and Mrs.
Schmitt had been Outside since they
were married, two and one-half years
ago, and the vacation, though brief,
was certainly enjoyed. Mrs. Schmitt
craved to see street cars again, Mr.
Schmitt confided to the Gateway re

Mr. Schmitt was concerned, he says
he lost a lot of sleep.
Twice every day two shows wTere
visited. In fact the Schmitts do not
believe they missed any while they
were in Seattle. Among performances
recalled was that of Sousa’s Band.
The stores of Seattle also held much
fascination for the visitors from “out
of the North” and much time was
| spent in this manner.

Mr. Schmitt stated Seward looks ex

to the other communities to bring
home the realization of this fact, he
concluded.
