INTER-SCHOOLASTIC ATHLETICS
RECEIVES IMPEDUS IN RE
CENT CHALLENGE.
UP TO THE LOCAL COACH
Basketball Honors Lost Last Sea
son Is Incentive for Coming
Winter Sports.
The war cry of Seward’s basketball
athletes has been heard in the ene
my camp and an invasion of the
Gateway City’s newly renovated gym
is threatened. This was manifest
Saturday when Louis Tinkler, secre
tary-treasurer of the Athletic Club
received a letter from the Anchorage
high school students challenging Sew
ard to a series of basketball games
to be played here over the Thanks
giving holidays, and that the local
lads want the match was emphatical
ly learned yesterday from all whom
word of the challenge had reached,
in responses loud and clear declar
ing confidence of being able to trim '
the Railroad City’s plucky gang.
The acceptance of the challenge,
however, is going to depend upon
Ted McEwan, coach; whether in his
estimation a team can be whipped
into championship form in three
weeks. The boys think he can do
it, and are pledging him their every
cooperation in training. From the
team that met Anchorage last year,
three of its members are left him;
Johnson, Tinkler and Bailey. Mc
Ewan may use this trio as a nucleus
for a first string team, while he has
about ten others to pick from in
electing a formidable five to pit
against the on-coming visitors.
According to Mr. Hopkins, one of
the prime movers in local sports,
states that “the business men of the
town feel that nothing should be left
undone in promoting this match—
that is, they feel that way about it,
for there is nothing more invigorat
ing to a town than the enthusiasm
and lively interest always injected
by inter-city competition in sports.
And there is another town, not far
away, where sportsmanship is keen—
Cordova. It has been known that Cor
dova would like to match her ath
letes against Seward’s, and a victory
over Anchorage in the basketball se
ries proposed for Thanksgiving would
be the strongest inducement for the
Copper City lads to come here.”
