FOUR
SPORTS
The drawings for the state tourna
ment will be neld Friday and Satur
day and the fate of the teams decided.
There are a few teams that are prac
tically certain of class A berths and a
gtod many on the ragged edge. No
western Nebraska team can be said to
lie certain of this classification, in fact
Alliance, Chappell and Kimball being
the only teams which seems to have
uy chance at all. Alliance would
probably have an excellent chance of
-copping the pewter receptacle In class
B but it is feared that class A may be
a little stiff for the locals. Little is
known of Kimball as they have played
snost of their frames out of the state,
and they may land in the top class.
Chappell's chances, however, are very
alim as they' seem to be in a slump of
late, Sidney, Gering and Scottsblulf
will probably be in B although it is
highly possible that some will be in
cUm C A possible list of class A
teams would include Lincoln, Univer
sity Place, Geneva, Sutton, Hastings,
Grand Island, Fremont, Clay Center,
Kavenna, Creighton Prep, Omaha
Commerce, Omaha Central, South Om
aha and Alliance.
Of these, Lincoln. Geneva, Hastings,
Grand Island and Creighton Prep
would be the most likely contenders
for the championship. However, there
is little use in . neculation as the list
will be out Sunday.
Chappell played two games last
week that must have thrilled the spec
tators to say the least. Chappell won
from Gering 16 to 19 after an extra
five- minutes period had been played
the game ending in a tie 14 to 14. In
the extra period Chappell made five
points to Gering's two. The next
night at ScottsbltfTT they did not fare
no well losing to the Irrigators 8 to 9
in what mast have been a hair raiser.
Another game which rather surprised
fans was the ScottsblufT-Bayard game
which Scottsbluff won 29 to 11. Thi
outcome was not surprising but such a
one sided score was not looked for.
This and the Chappell game show
plainly that Scottsbluff has at last
struck a winning streak and is a team
to be reckoned with. Scottsbluff plays
here the last game of the season and it
should be a humdinger.
Creighton college is starting on a
basket ball tour that will eclipse any

In 1918 Creighton may be said to
hive won the basketball championship
of the United States, as they went
through the season without a defeat,
winning from the otherwise unbeaten
Great Lakes training station. 'Ihe
latter had defeated most of the large
colleges in the country by large scores
and were greatly to be lea mi.
The approach of thejtournament re
minds busket ball fans of an incident
that happened at the tournament four
years ago. A team from some town
in the southwestern part of the state
wished to enter. This sounds all right
so far but there was one difficulty,
namely that there were only four oys
in the school which the team repre
sented and in order to overcome this
difficulty a girl played with the boys
to make up tne quintet The heartier
entrance committee, however, disquali
fied the team and they were forced to
return home without playing a game.
I One cannot help but admire a school
that will ge to such an extent and
overcome such handicaps to play. It
spirit equal to this were present in
some of the larger schools, Alliance in
cluded, there would be better athletics
and their teams would play a better
, brand of ball. In a large school such
! as Alliance High, where it is compara
tively easy to get a team, those who
have the honor of representing their
school seem to be somewhat olf the
opinion that instead they honor the
school by taking part in athletics, and
refuse to train or give up anything for
the school. That is not real school
spirit and though the incident of t'
mixed team may be amusing tlu.
team had at least real spirit.
Coach Prince's basketeers will tangle
with Chappell at the high school gym
Saturday night in what will probably
be the fastest game sein on the local
floor this season. The Chappell team
until lately led the conference, when
Alliance took first place but as they
are now in second with the chance of
being on top again if they beat Alli
ance they will undoubtedly play the
game of their lives. This game will
be for blood as there is no great love
between the locals and the ChappcH
ites, because of certain little difficul
ties before concerning games with
them. Chappell undoubtedly has a
fast bunch of pastimers as they have

with the exception of Alliance an
Scottsbluff, the latter defeat coming
as rather a surprise, probtbly beinp
due to a slump or to overconfidence.

Fifteen million dollars has been ap

national forest roads and trails. ,
Of this Fum $9,500,000 known as
the "National Forest Highway Fund"
is set aside for roads of primary im
portance to states, counties and na

constituting the "National Forest De

construction of roads and trails needed
for the administration and utilization
of the forests themselves.

The development of road and trails
throughout the forests will aid ma
terially in fire protection. At present
there are large areas of trackless
wilderness within the national forests
that can not be reached by trails. When
lightning storms sweep over these in
accessible areas, heavy fire losses of
public timber often' occur.
Speed in reaching a forest fire, for
esters, say, Is just as Important In
protecting the country's forests as is
speed in city fire protection. But high
speed within the forest means four or
five miles an hour over a mountain
efail. If no trail exists it is often:
impossible for the fire fighters to
average more than one-fourth of a
mile an hour.
