GAME YESTERDAY
City Five Loses to Metlakatla
in Overtime Play After
Tying Score.
Two re:i 1 basketball teams met at
A. B Hall last night in a game tli t
kept the fans on their feet for the
greater part of the time. Metlakatla
A. C. winning from the local City
Five by a score of 32 to 30 after
being forced to play for an extra
five-minute period to break the tied
scot e. The visitors won' on more
inn...stmt team play, better physical
erudition and deserved the victory.
Approximately 200 fans witnessed
lue game, which was declared to
lia'o been the -no.-.t exciting played
n?re in several seasons. From the
minute that Sperling. City forward,
turned in the first basket of the
game until Dundus broke a 30 30 tie
jusl on" minute before the end ol
the extra five-minute period, it was
a clean, scrappy exnibition of bar
ketlaa.il with the local quintet fight
mg .an uphill battle almost all .Ot
way. The City squad led for tie
first 10 minutes of play. Metla
ka’ia came from behind then, forging
to ,.hc front, the first half ending
10 to 10 in favor of the visitors. The
C ty speeded up in the second half
scoring 20 points, while Metlakatla
chalked up but 10, but missed
chances to win in failures to take
advantage of free throws and in
missing wo fair shots from scrim
mage Jusc before the whistle ended
thj game
George Ties Game
.loe ueorge, one ot the (:,ty a twc
fighting guards, almost caused a riol
when, just before the end of thf
s econd 20 minute period, lie dribbled
through a crowded court and shoi
the basket that tied the score al
26 all. Both teams spurted to gel
•the winning goal before the end ol
the period, blit noTthor could wort
the ball into shooting distance.
Without Intermission, the team
hurled themselves into the extra pe
riod both determined to win. Panda
and Booth came through with a Hell
goal each in the first two minute;
of play. Wittanen an I Hughes tie<
it up again with one each. Panda
came through with his second baske
for the extra period Sperling an:
Hughes both missed chances and th<
game ended with Metlakatla on tin
long end of the score.
It was a bard gamp to lose am
would have been equally hard foi
Metlakatla to lose. Sperling’s in
ability to find the basket on frei
throws figured in Hie result. ()u
of six chances for single points, h<
caged only one. Metlakatla had thre<
free throws and counted on two o
them. Both teams checked hard am
close, making accurate “hooting (iif
ficult and both misled sevpra
chances to score from scrimmage.
Sperling High Man
Sperling was high point getter fo
both teams, s nring 15 points. Hi
was closely followed by Dumb;

and Huglies caged four from seri n

out a field goal, scoring once off
free throw, Burford, who wa
thrown in in the second half for 1
minutes play, was held seoreles
Sabin, who relieved Sperling in th
