All the western teams were dis
placed in the first round of the 1923
Nebraska high school basketball
tournament and the dope splashed all
over the Coliseum when Sutton, 1922
champs, fell before York. The teams
selected from the west started slip
ping when Sutherland fell in the first
game and finally Sidney received, a
trouncing at the hands of Omaha.
Ravenna touted to defeat Suther
land turned the trick in the slowest
game of the first round pulling away
to a 22 to 13 score. Both teams con
sistently missed close shots and had
a difficult time keeping their hands
on the ball. Ravenna, Class B champ
ions last year were outweighed by
Sutherland, who in spite of their su
perior weight were unable to form
any sort of an offense. Smaha, Ra
venna guard found the hoop seven
times while Wood did the heavy work
for Sutherland with four baskets.
For the first time in years a Uni
versity Place team was put out of
the running in the first round when
the suburban quintet bowed to
Creighton Prep 16 to 12. The Omaha
team took the lead from the start
and were never in danger throughout
the contest. Monahan featured the
play of the Prep squad and Warren
played the leading role for University
Place, though handicapped by a bad
knee.
Wahoo, rated highly, fell to Be
atrice's choice on the short end of a
15-18 tally. Roland caged five bas
kets for Beatrice and Cunningham of
Wahoo was the stellar performer of
the match, showing great speed and
fancy floor work.
Omaha Tech disposed of North
Platte by a tally of 15 to il8 but the
Omaha lads did not have the run
away that was conceded to be their
portion before the game. The game
went an extra period with Crabb get
ting the necessary points for Omaha
during the extra session.
in the evening Alliance and Has
tings played a hotly contested game,
12-1." with Hastings finally getting the
edge. The game was decided on
three fouls thrown by Hastings who
was not marked with a single foul.
Hastings resorted to shots of the long
variety being unable to penetrate the
western team's defense.
Omaha had no trouble with Sidney,
playing the first frame 14 to 4 and
letting up in the second half. The
contest ended IS to 11 in favor of the
metropolis aggregation. Sidney
seemed lost on the floor in the open
ing half but came back and outplayed
Omaha during the last half.
The 'jpset of the day came when
Sutton went down before York, 11 to
9. Sutton could not hit the hoop
when given the opportunity and dur
ing the greater part of the game the
York men held the ball.
In the fastest game of the qualify
round, Lincoln, took charge of Geneva
and sent her home with the small end
of a 10 to 20 score. The first half
ended a 9 to 9 tie but the Links wore
down the Geneva defense and broke
'oese in the last few minutes caging
the necessary baskets.
