HOT BASKETBALL GAME AT
WHITE PASS CLl'B TOXIGHT
The Peterson arrived this after
noon, bringing a bunch of people
from Fort Seward and Haines. It

ketball team, which will play a game

believe htat they can put it over to
night. Joe Acland, the captain of
the Haines team, is a university of
Washington boy and has trained his
team down to a fine point.
Of course the White Pass team are
equally sure of victory, so those who
come out tonight will witness some
fast work on both sides.
The game will mrt promptly at
7:45 and finish in time for those
who so desire to aitend the Popular

new theater, which opens tonight.
Remember the hoar. 7:45—and he
on time.
