Basket Ball Tourney # —^ ^ _ - (j Seven Teams SI Advanced to 4 Highest Class Annual Tournament, One of Largest of Its Kind in World, Starts in Lincoln Thursday. INCOLN, March 1. —Seven of the high school teams who competed in 1923 state meet were advanced to the Class A di vision by the hifth school board of control, which met at the uni versity Friday afternoon to clas sify the 249 en tries to the 14th annual state tour ney to be stapcd in Lincoln March 6, 7 and 8. Scotta bluff, Fullerton »nil Nehawka have withdrawn from the list. Valentine. South Omaha, Plattsmouth, Chappell, Norfolk and Grand Island were promoted, while Sutherland. Ra venna, ^Beatrice, Sutton and Wa hoo were shoved down the line. North Platte and Alliance are not competing this year. Valentine, northwest champs, winners of the Class C group in the 1923 meet, leaped front C to A, while the remain der of the quints advanced from B division. An additional class was added to the tourney this year, mak-1 ing a total of 16 groups. Lincoln high will tackle Sidney high in the final skirmish of the Class A program Thursday night. Sidney, a strong western five, should give Coach Browne's pupils plenty of action. University Place and Norfolk high will grapple In the fifth Class A tilt slated for the coliseum floor on the opening day. Four Omaha teams. Tech, Central. Creighton Prep and South have Class A berths. Omaha Tech, 1923 state champions, will open the big show with Grand Island as an opponent. Tech has had a fair year while the Islanders, after starting poorly, grabbed the Class A honors In the recent Cential Nebraska meet played at Kearney. Geneva and York will ml* in the second contest on card. Both teams were trounced by Lincoln high In close battles. York, however, wal loped the Genevlans, 17 to 7, three weeks ago and should bo favorites in the tourney clash. Plattsmouth and “Dick” New man's Hastings outfit, the latter runnersup in lust year’s classic, are evenly matched. Plattsmouth lias a fine record, having held Creighton Prep to close scores, together with wins over teams in the eastern part of the state. Creighton Prep, picked by many as the favorite to cop the Class A tro phy, will go against Valentine high, the dark horse of the fete, in the fourth cgntest on the elate. Norfolk's undefeated quint will have a hard proposition in attempting to down Copch Hare's University Place goal sharks. University Place trounced Fremont high. 14 to 13, Tuesday night and should make the Klkhorns step to win. Chappell, winners of the Chadron *ourney, staged several weeks ago, will have a tough time gaining a win over Coarh Hill’s Omaha Central crew. If the husky western guards can stop Wally Marrow and Ralph Church the going will b* easy for the Chappell tossers. loach Patton’s South Omaha goal shooters and Fremont are due to clasli in tlie seventh Class A skirm ish. The Fremonters, with wins over both Central and Creighton Prep look good. The Packers, how ever, have wins over the Purple and White five and are not to be over looked in the tourney fracas. Columbus. Sutton, Arlington, Clay Center and the Genoa Indians appear to be the strongest qiilnA In B class. Nebraska dity, 1923 winners, have had only a fair season and Ravenna Is ofT form. Many of the high school fives in the second division could gl^e any of the Class A a battle, but their sea son's record did not warrant them a berth In upper class. ^THE %" BASKET M-iy , •ted ward Defeat Albion.

Creighton W ins Over Marquette in Final Game Crelgtyon's basket ball tegni, the best In the middle west, won over ilirquette 111 the first game of the two-game series Friday night by the score of 36 to 21. Creighton flashy offensive headed by Lovely, Mahoney and Trautman bioke through the Marquette defense Friday night time after time for field goals. To "Keel’* Dunn, however, s world of credit must go. the sorrel topped Marquette star breaking up many of Creighton’s best efforts. "Red” gave the basket ball fiends at tins game a marvelous vision as 10 how one man rnuld bring a flashing offense to a sudden and abrupt stop. Creighton stepped into the lead right at the start of the battle when Corenman dropped in a free throw. Mahoney counted from under the basket as the Bluejsy offensive got under way. Koudele gave the Blue and (fold their first chance to ecore when he fouled t'urren, the lanky forward making the free throw good. Onte again the far famed offense of the Schablnger tribe got under way, Lovely and Cotenman counting for the Blue. Curren sneaked through the local fighting line and counted for Marquette. Hlueja.vs Score 2! Points.^ Curren's easy basket aroused the . Bluejnys to renewed effort and they tore through the Ililltoppers for 22 points while the visiting cageis wers annexing seven counters. But for i i»y shots under ths lcisket that were missed by the Bluejays, Mar quette would have been smothered under a tremendous score. In Justice to the visitors, mention must be made of the number of short chances they thr<*V away with poor shooting and hard luck. Cn lghton led at the half, to 10. Marquette came back In the second half fighting ns the Hilltop team* of old were known to and outseored the lilue.iays, 11 to 30. Curren opened the scoring In the final halt with a neat overhead toss for a perfect basket. Creighton again scored from the field and started a llttte stalling game that ended In u basket by Cotenman, who slipped through the vleltore’ defense for an easy shot. The teams fought on even terms during the rest of the period, Mar quette grabbing nine points while Creighton added six to their total. Captain "Jimmy" I.o\ely plajlng his last series at the Creighton gvnt showed to his best advantage this C»r, being a power on offense nnd a Took of (llhraltar on the defense.

Tech High Cagers Defeat Fremont Quintet, 20 to 11 Barricade of Maroons ^ ith etauds Assault of Coacli Johnson's Crew — Book keeps Play Loose Game. OACH Jim ltrum mond’s Teclmi ral High racers wound np the home basket hall season yes terday after noon by trounr iuc Jimmie Johnson * rrr montcrs hr * 2U to 11 count. The score should have read 10 to 11, a* Ihe Tecli sleni missed enough under goal ducks ’ lo have easily piled up that advantage., ~ Coach Drummond elected to start Boder and Swartz at the forward berths In place of Charnqulst and Crabb, and although the Techster subs succeeded In emerging victorious over the autataters, they missed enough shots to win several contests. The Fremonters came to Omaha with the reputation of being one of the fastest teams in the state. By virtue of a pair of wins over Central and Creighton, they were touted as likely class A material, and capable of making the Drummondltes step to turn in a victory. But the Maroon guards. Swanson and Holm, formed as impregnable a barricading machine aa has been seen In action on an Omaha court this seaaon, and although the flaahy Fre mont forwards hurled themselves time and again upon the defense, the Tech barricade withstood the assaults. Boder tallied first with an under goal toss, but Gray nullified the shot with a duplicate shot from beneath the Iron ifoop. Swartz crept up from the side to cage a neat side shot for the final score of the Initial quarter. After botli machines had failed to count on a dozen easy chances, Cot terell succeeded in finding the range. Swanson sneaked up from guard to flip a marker from the foul zone, fol lowed by a like toss by his teammate, Holm. Kasper brought the scoring In the first half to a close with an un der hoop bullseye. The half ended with Technical leading by a 10 to 4 count. After Kindler had drawn first blood In the final stanza, Kaspar broke away to fling a brace of under goal markers. Dunn, with a long ringer, and Kindler with a neat side shot, brought the Fremont quint to within four markers of the Drummondltes. 7.ust sent the Maroons into' safety with a rlreus toss over his head, while Gray s free toss closed the Kre mont scoring. Charnqulst and Crabb were Injected Into the fray In the final two min utes, and in that time Crabb succeed ed In counting for four markers. The guarding of the Maroons was sensational. Swanson and Holm broke tip Fremont plays in great style, w hlle the six markers charged to Kaspar made him leading scorer of the fray. Gray, Kindler and Cotterell played good hall for the losers.
