ANCHORAGE, Jan. 31.—Turning
the tables on their successful oppo
nents, the Anchorage High School
girls basketball team took the Seward
beauties into camp by a score of six
to four. This was the second game
of the series and lacked the vim- vig
or and vitality that the Seward Crim
sons so marvelously displayed in the
first game on Thursday night.
Though the game was a fast and fu
rious one, there was not the combina
tion and team work that was exhibit
ed in previous games. Cecil Leslie
and Helen Balderston again showed
themselves as stellar players for the
Crimson quintet, both of them scoring
baskets, while C. Holderman, who
played center for the whites, and Hel
en Welch are given the honors for
scoring. Ruth Anderson played in su
perb form, very rarely allowing any
chances for the Crimsons to make at
tempts at scoring.
The first quarter was marked by
rapid rushes made by both teams,
many scrimmages and pretty combin
ations, but the score remained nil un
til Balderston scored on a foul which
was quickly followed by another made
by Leslie, the latter star center for
the Seward aggregation, on a foul by
Welch.
The Whites were playing a defen
sive game, being forced to guard their
goal well, for the Crimsons made
many tries at the loop but failed. The
score for this period was Seward 2,
Anchorage 0.
Welch started the excitement by
trying a long one but missed and Lind
sey missed on a foul. The Whites
forced the game at this stage and
most of the scrimmages were around
the Crimson basket. Out of the fra
cas the Whites emerged victorious,
Welch managing to drop a beauty in
to the loop. Balderston and Baugh
man had hard luck and missed many

shots. Lindsey and Welch were play
ing a fine game. At th eend of the
second period the tallies registered
Seward 2, Anchorage 2.
Great excitement prevailed when
the girls faced the scratch for the
beginning of the second half with the
score tied. The rooters got into the
game with a vim. The Whites set the
pace and hteir forwards kept the
Crimson guards on their toes. Welch
shot a beauty while the referee wasn't
looking. Balderston scored immedi
ately afterwards. Monthy and Ray
guarded well with Leslie fighting
hard at center. Wendler, the White
guard stopped many rushes. Ander
son made a pretty pass to Welch who
scored. The score at the end of the
period Seward 4, Anchorage 6.
The last period was a fast one for
both teams. Each tried to make
scores but failed. Balderston was
shooting them in fast and furious, but
was a little off and missed. Holder
man and Anderson were credits to
their team taking the ball to the Crim
son basket many times only to be
stopped by Manthy and Ray. It was

the eye as it was going so fast and
even the referee had a hard time mak
ing himself heard during hte pande
monius riegning in the hall. When the
whistle blew signifying the end the
score stood six to four in favor of the
Whites.
The teams will play off the tie of
the series this morning at ten o’cvlock
when the same hard battle which
characterized the previous games is
expected to ensue.
After last night’s game the young
ladies were the honor guests at a
dance given by the Elks.

The tie game was played off this
morning, Anchorage taking the series
with two games out of three. The
score this morning was 8 to 4.
