Fiv YOU'LL APPRECIATE THESE ment and also sport fans of Prince Rupert to extend a sincere welcome to Italph Peters, manacer of the Ketchikan Kockcts and his ten-man cage squad who do battle with the Challengers at the Civic Centre tonight. We also thank Ralph for his thoughtfulurss in sending on ahead a brief sketch of his players which wc have used on the front pane. There's nothing more frustrating to a sports writer than to know that a sports event is coming off and not know the identity of the participants. We hope that our Alaskan Ktiests emoy themselves as much here as did the Prince Rupert lads on their recent jaunt up to Ketchikan and Metlakatla, Alaska. The Rockets will be guests of honor at a dance tonight, will ix- oiia-ially welcomed by Major Ccurgc i:. Hills at a luncheon tomorrow at the Canadian Legion hall, tour the Columbia Cclhi-Iom' plant at Watson Island afterwards and after the game will be guests of the l.lks Club tomorrow night In regards to tonight's game we have an open mind. We've . got a bigger floor for you guys to try your plays on. but many of you have already sampled it and may not be at a disadvantage We have a stronger team ami we Know that you visitors will c.o your doggoucdest to heat it. So let's go gang. Let's have a big. friendly, sportsmanlike erowu and the Challengers and the Rockets will do the rest. Other cage fare tonight will see Girls' league pacesetters Dam's take- on the Ho-.Mc-Hi Kainhirils in a regular scheduled fixture. While on the subject: of girls' basketball we owe an apology to the Irosty's Food Lockers' quirrtette. Last Saturday we said that Dom's had won by default from the Frost y's whereas it was the other way round. Frosty's were there in full force and it was the league leaders who didn't field a full team. Tomorrow night will see t lie continuation of the Civic Centre hoop shoot which got underway last Saturday night. First pair to match free shots will be Heine llolkestad and Malison's Omegas coach Bill McChcsney. This contest will lie followed by a tluel between Mrs. Hob Armstrong and Alisler Duffus and the third two-some' io vie for marksmanship honors will be Sev Dnminato and Fred Calderone. Winding up tomoirow night's hoop shooting-will be Bob Kudclerham and George Viereck. Nineteen toys and half a dozen Little League Kascliall officials were mighty disappointed last night when Mayor George K. Hills didn't turn up to their annual banquet to which he hud been invited. The Little leaguers felt that while the Chief Magistrate may have been tied up with important committee wosk he might at least have phoned to explain his absence in time for them to make other arrangements. Keep an eye on civic appointment book Mr. Mayor. Fulfilling social obligations helps to make a lot of new friends and also retain the old ones. POST SCRIPTS Tribute was paid last night to senior baseball players John Kosedale and Johnny Weston. Former president of the Little League Art Williamson told the King Fd Hawks at the banquet In their honor, that the two men had spent a great deal of effort and time on the league's behalf, despite, tjreir othi-r commitments.' John and Johnny have been holding a catchers' and pitchers' school every Tuesday night at the Civic Centre and the classes continue for any Little leaguers who fancy themselves as battery men. over the RCMP with four points and thev also leceived an Assist 1 I!)I7 Chrysler Windsor 4-Door Sedan .... $975 years later he was a big leaguer.
