"If the public's preference for the new Chevrolet is to be inaexeu oy what I observed from the Omaha crowds, I feel certain that "The Out standing Chevrolet of Chevrolet His tory" is destined to go down in auto motive history as one of the most sensational of all sales successes. "Omaha visitors to the showing were outspoken in their admiration of the expensive 'big car' appearance of the new models. They were pleas ed with the new color combination and with the elegance of the fittings nnfl iinhnlstprv. Thp fpmlnine show goers were esDeeiallv enthusiastic over tne appearance ana comiori conveniences found in the new Chev rolet. "The Dowerful engine with its 32 increased horsepower, the pro- duct of four years intensive develop ment by Chevrolet and General Mo tors, was one of the most popular exhibits at the showing. Crowds milled about the engine all day long, and were especially interested in learning that, although it develops more horsepower than its four cylin der predecessor, it can be operated with a fuel economy averaging better than 20 miles to the gallon. I Mr. Smith said that he will have ; the new models on display in his show room January 1, when deliv eries are scheduled to begin. Fifteen huge Chevrolet factories throughout , the country are now pushing produc- tion with all the speed possible with in the limits of precision manufac turing, Mr. Smith said.

The score might have been 21 to 20 but for the fact that the mus ical notes of the timekeeper's whis tle cut the air for a substitution , just a few seconds before Hadraba I dumped a Bafe one in for Platts mouth and the basket did not count. The local team showed increasing skill and in the last portion of the game had Hastings largely on the defensive but the fact that the vis itors led the Platters 8 to 2 at the half represents the margin that the blue and white had to try and over come in the last few moments of the final quarter. The game opened with botn teams argely feeling out their opponents and then the latter part of the first quarter John Shea, left forward of Hastings started his deadly basket shooting and annexed two in fast succession, and to this boy can be credited leven of the scores of his team. For the Platters Hadraba was the chief factor in the scoring with ten scores, and in the last half of the 1 "tZSfSSZ I . ing game tor Plattsmouth in the final half of the game and checked many of the attempts of Hastings to score. As the curtain raiser of the big show the Plattsmouth second team battled the Bellevue team and after acquiring a nice lead over the Belle vue lads were distanced at the final by a score of 14 to 12. The basket shooting of Short and Schulz for Bellevue and the guarding game played by Hirz for Plattsmouth fur nished the high spots of the battle. The tabulated score of the main game was as follows: Plattsmouth f FO FT PF TP I 1 0 1 2 0 0 10 0 3 0 3 5 0 0 10 0 10 1 0 0 0 0 10 0 2 7 4 2 18 FG FT PF Tf 1 1 3 3 0 1 1 1 1 5 1 0 11 2 0 1 4 , 0 0 10 1 o 2 2 : 9 3 8 21 ' McClanahan, rf i -aiiov , n Fitch, If Hadraba, c J.
