SEWARD BASKETBALL TEAM IS
WINNER OF SECOND GAME
OF SERIES LAST NIGHT
A ROUGH AND FURIOUS GAME
Many Fouls Made—Inletters Play Lo
cals to Tie in First Half of
Game—Last Time Tonight
Determined to win, the Anchorage
High School basketball team went into
the second game of the series last
night with everything they possessed
and for forty minutes the large num
ber of spectators witnessed not only
tho fastest game which has been seen
here for a number of years, but one
of the roughest. Anchorage held Sew
ard to a tie in the first half, 11 to 11,
but‘the latter half saw Seward forge
ahead, the game ending with the
score, Seward 17, Anchorage 14.
The Inlet five swept the locals off
their feet with their mad rushes up
and down the entire length of the
floor, but as the day previous, their
net shooting was way off. That also
goes for the Seward boys, who missed
many good shots. At the same time
both teams made a couple of beau
tiful long field shots which brought
the house down. It was the stamina
of the agile Anchorage athletes, which
in another five minutes would have
turned the tide, according to the gen
eral belief of! the fans. The locals ap
peared to be tiring fast from the ter
rific pace and during the latter part
of the last half were caught wide open
a number of times. Only for the ex

cellent gard work did the locals save
[themselves in the last few minutes of
play. Players from either side hit the
floor with regularity and fouls were
frequently called on members of both
teams.
The star of the evening was this
boy Valaer, captain a^'nd right for
ward for Anchorage. Aside from the
flashes of temper displayed by the
youth his general playing and accu
rate shooting revealed a fast and
heady athlete in the making. Valaer
made ten of the fourteen points for
his running mates. Eight of these
points were four field baskets and two
foul line baskets. Ek came through
with one field basket, the only other
I member of the visitors team to make
a field goal. Boudreau and Brayford I
each made a foul line throw.
Captain McEwan was again the
poinfe-getter for his team, throwing
two goals from the field and making
four points from the foul line. Rob
erts came next, in point making, be
ing credited with two field baskets.
Johnson and Tinkler each made a
basket from the field, while Chya an
nexed one foul line basket.
Seward had ten chances from the
foul line, while Anchorage had the
same number of opportunities to run
the score up a few points. Tinkler
threw one, McEwen seven, Johnson
one and Chya one.
For Anchorage Brayford threw two,
Valaer four, Boudreau two and Ek
two. Both teams were away off mak
ing baskets from the line, with the
exception of McEwan who made, as
has been stated, four foul line throws
out of a possible seven. Not a bad
average.
Boudreau was taken out prior to the
last few minutes of play, charged
with making three deliberate personal
fouls. He wag replaced by Romig. Ek
made the first field goal in the second
half, placing his team ahead for the
first time of the series. A few mo
ments later Roberts tied the score
with his field throw, followed by Tink
ler’s which put the home boys ahead
where they remained until the time
keeper’s blast, ending the game. Owing
to the number of spectators continu
ing to come into the hall the game
was delayed six minutes in starting,
beginning at 8:06 p. m. instead of
8 o’clock. At 8:21 coach Graham de
clared time out for his team, play be
ginning again at 8:23 until 8:28. Dur
ing the last half time out was called
by the Anchorage players, for a one
minute rest.
Referee Barnett stated last evening
inasmuch as both teams are using the
same tactics in the game, in particular
in holding the ball, in fairness to the
spectators he has not to date held up
the game by using the whistle. This
may be done this evening, providing
both captains and coaches agree on
the point. The same line-up played
last night as the day previous. It is
believed few changes will take place
in tonight’s game, the final one of the
series.

CIVIL WAR VET
LEAVES ALASKA
FOR MAYO BROS.
THOMAS EDWARD- O’BRIEN OF
ALASKA IS ONE OF THE FEW
VETS IN TERRITORY
One of thei few remaining Civil War
veterans in Alaska is a visitor in Sew
ard today while awaiting the arrival
of the steamship Victoria on which
vessel he sails for Seattle en route
to California and the East. Thomas
Edward O’Brien, whose friends are
legion, is now 83 years of age. He was
but 19 wher* he joined Company G,
Thirty-ninth Infantry, of Indiana. Re
gardless of the fact that Mr. O’Brien
is rapidly nearing the century mark,
his physical condition, with the ex
ception of a bad foot which has both
ered him for 45 years, would put many
young men to shame. He is hale and
hearty, and mentally is as alert as if
he were in the prime of life.
When asked by a Gateway represen
tative to what he attributed his glow
ing health and robust figure, Mr.
O’Brien remarked that he did not
know; that all of his life he had been
a regular fellow and tried to live right
at all times. A friend of Mr. O’Brien,
who accompanied him to the Gateway
office, said that the outstanding feat
ure in the veteran’s life, especially
during his 24 years residence in the
Territory, was his kindness to his fel
low man. Mr. O’Brien agreed with his
friend that a clear conscience was a
tremendous asset in life’s battle.
During the many years he has been
in the Territory, Mr. O’Brien, at vari
ous times, resided at Knik, the Wil
low Creek district, Hope and Sunrise.
Some time ago he purchased two farms
in the fertile Matanuska valley, where
he has been content in tilling the soil.
Before settling down as a farmer he
followed mining for the greater por
tion of the time.
It has been eight years since he has
been Outside and that time, like the
present, the trip was made for the
purpose of having special treatment
for his injured foot. He was at Mayo
Brothers then, and expects to go back
again this winter. He goes to Cali
fornia first to visit with old friends,
then East. He plans returning to
Seward early in the Spring. While in
Seward Mr. O’Brien is the house guest
of Mrs. Stotko.
