McEwan Is a Real
Coach, Say Local
Basketball Slingers
Ted McEwan is a real coach and
“knows his stuff.” Such was the out
ward expression last night, enthusias
tically emitted by the number of lo
cal athletes and basketball aspirants
who turned out on the gymnasium
floor at eight o’clock for practice.
Preliminary drilling of the rudi
ments and benefits of team work
were first handled by McEwan, af
ter wThich a few i new stunts inter
preting the game’s complexes were in
troduced and enjoyed, before sides
were designated and all hands put
thru a first class scrimmage. It was
the most beneficiary work out the
boys have had in this department,
either this season or last, and it is
plainly seen that a much 'improved
brand of basketball is going to be
the fans’ treat this year.
There may be another workout on
Saturday evening, it is entirely option
al with the basketball players, and
the shower bath now being installed
will then be in service. At any rate,
regular practice is called for Monday
and Wednesday evenings at eight
o’clock and a full class expected
again.
H. H. Horn, assistant to the general
manager of the Alaska Railroad; whc
