High School Gals, Guys Triumph In
Pair of Annual Basketball Classics
The Nome High School gals
rolled over an aging, but still
active group of college girls on
that local high school floor by a
score of 21-10 last Saurday even
ing. Displaying offensive moves
not seen on the hardwoods in a
long time, the high schoolers easily
won this annual classic.
Annie Peterson and Alice Ar
nold, along with Laura Walker,
were just too tough for the exper
ienced colleges lasses. Annie Pe
terson paced the point production
with 9, while Alice Arnold meshed
five and Laura Walker hit for four
more. An explosive second quar
ter shoved the local femms far
out of reach.
June Peterson led a strong de
fensive game which featured the
Mclver sisters against each other.
Gail Mclver, usually a big gun
in producing points, had to settle
for 4 this time because of the
outstanding defensive efforts of
sister Kay. The Redhead from
the local high school claimed she
knew every move ‘‘Big Sister”
owns and therefore the defensive
job was much easier.
A large crowd turned out to
see this annual affair and were
treated to some fine basketball.
Coach Dottie Kaiser has done a
wonderful job with the high
school sextet and is certainly
eager to accept any other “chal
lenges” from girls’ groups.
The Nome Nanooks put the of
fense back into basketball to
easily out-distance a fighting
group of college kids last Satur
day evening by the score of TO
SS. Steff Andersen found the
range for 29 markers to lead the
win. He also claimed 16 rebounds
in his best effort of the season.
Brother Stan chimed in with 13
more, 11 of them coming in the
third quarter, as Coach Tinjum
substituted freely.
Using all 14 boys who suited
up, Tinjum received scoring help
from eight of his boys. Wendy
Smith and Andy Miller banged
in 8 each for the Nooks, while
Rich Atuk slipped 16 points
through the nets to lead his team.
After watching the girls, the
high school boys soon learned
just how to get the ball into the
basket. It proved to be the most
prolific scoring game of the sea
son for the battling Nanooks. Mr.
Vic Charles acted as M.C., and
added much color to the evening's
festivities.
Next action for Nanooks ap
pears to be on Jan. 7, unless last
minute arrangements allow Bethel
to make the Nome trip. All here
in Nome hope that they can make
it up here. The Nanooks are eager
to tangle with someone from an
other high school again after
their failures against Class A
schools.

Rev. Bob Leight still laughs
whenever he tells the following on
his son and Wendell Smith. Very j
much aware of Chief Oliver’s edict
regarding loose dogs, and being a
law-abiding soul, Bob accompan
ies “Snoopy” when letting him
out for his evening sniff.
Wouldn’t you know it ... he i
ran off the other night. Now
Snoopy is not exactly a cinch to
locate on a dark night as he is
a black Labrador. Nome is heavily
populated with dogs following
his description. . . . Practically
everyone has a friend who has a
Labrador.
To the rescue came the boys,
and sure enough, after cruising
the town for a short while they
came upon a black Lab by the
Modern Cleaners. No amount of
pushing and pulling by the two of
them could force him into the car.
“What’s his problem,’’ thought the
boys.
At this point, however, Jim Mc
Lean chose to look from his win
dow on the scene of a real, live,
hair-raising dog-napping. “Hey
you birds . . . what’ya trying to
do with ‘Sam,’ ” challenged Jim.
“It’s our dog Snoopy,” the boys
protested. “Nope, by golly, it’s
Sam,” Jim insisted. “Well, whatdo
you know, no wonder he wouldn’t
get in the car,” lamely admitted
the boys.
Snoopy was captured and re
turned to the sanctity of his
home, Sam is slightly confused,
and the boys convulse every time
they think of it.

President Demands Trims
WASH IN GTON Uf) — Govern
ment sources say an unpublicized
demand by President Johnson for
trimming of requests is expected
to produce savings of 730 million
dollars in the forthcoming budget.
But officials indicate there is little
hope of a fiscal 1965 budget under
101 billion dollars. That would be
about two Dillion dollars bigger
than the estimate for the current
fiscal year ending next June 30.

LOSE YOUR BONDS??
This may be the time to call
attention to an often overlooked
benefit of United States Savings
Bonds.
Remember the story of the far
mer who had three of his bonds
eaten by a cow? While the story
is humorous, it is likewise true.
It came from the official files of
the Treasury Department, which
each month reissues thousands of
bonds for owners who lose them
in a hundred different ways.
So this reminder again. Anyone
who has bonds stolen, lost, muti
lated, or destroyed, may write to
the Treasury Department about it.
