Saturday night this last week, our Wrangell town team challenged the Coast Guardsmen from a boat in port, to a basketball scrimmage. Few spectators looked in. Although this team is a picked experienced team and has played many teams in Alaska, including Sheldon Jackson school in Sitka, it proved an easy match for our town team as shown by the final score of 36 to 24. We are proud of the sportsmanlike manner of our town team that night as a few misunderstandings arose which were calmly smoothed over. Again Monday night the two teams played with a more smashing victory for the town team, 45 to 21.

Wrangell Volleyball fans were treated to an exhibition of skill Friday and Saturday when the Lady Wolves treated Metlakatla’s Misschiefs to a lesson in skill at the net. Coach Myron Myers girls obviously out-classed, in basic skills, conditioning and training, the visitors. There was never a question as to the outcome. Of an even dozen games played, only the junior varsity squad allowed Metlakatla a couple wins - and that was one game of the three played Friday and one of three on Saturday. Wrangell varsity swept both nights.
