THE

after half
By Jim Evinger
Smooth functioning Creighton
Prep of Omaha regained the Class
A title by rolling over Lincoln's
outclassed but not outfought cag-
ers in the climax of the state
basketball tournament, Saturday
night in the coliseum. The final
reckoning was 31 to 16.
Lincoln's forces were keyed up
to halt the fast breaking Bluejay
offense and did so for the first
half. In fact, Creighton Prep held
only a 4-3 first quarter lead and
the Red and Black came back to
tie the score at 7-7 at the inter
mission.
Guards Paul Hyland and Harvey
'Hook" Lauer were getting the
ball of their own bankboard after
nearly every Prep shot, thusly
spoiling many a famed Bluejay
follow shot.
Steam up In third
Prep began turning on the
steam in the third quarter and
pulled away 17 to xi as the quar
ter closed and then poured thru
14 more points in the final canto
to Lincoln's 4.
The fast break system employed
by Prep worked to perfection as
the tiring Lincoln lads found con
siderable trouble in bottling up
their defense as they had worked
in the first half.
Creighton's sharpshooters were
led by George Dunn who sifted
thru 0 points. With the combined
efforts of Ray Hennlngsen, Bob
Duffy and Ed Larkin, who all had
six counters apiece, Lincoln's
doom was sealed.
Scrapping continuously thruout
the game were Lincoln's Floyd
and Ray Wilkinson and Guards
Lauer and Hyland. The two tall
brothers accounting for six points
apiece. Box:

trolling the ball until the final
whistle blew.
Minatare held a 9-5 first quarter
lead but the Indiana came back
to tie the game up at 11 all at the
half. Then the losers shot ahead

ARMOUR TECH RELAYS, Chi

performances in the 12th annual
Armour Tech relays here Satur
day night in scoring four first
places among themselves.
Gene Littler, the Cornhusker

dles and placed fifth in the 70
yard lows.
Hunt vaults.
Harold Hunt vaulted into a tie
for first place in the pole vault
with Williams of Wisconsin. The
bar was raised to 13 feet 9 inches
for the clearing point.
Outstanding performance of the
evening was Charles "Chuck"
Fenske, Wisconsin's king of the
milers, who ran a paced race
against time to the time of
2:59.7 for three quarters of a
mile. The feat was memorable by
the fact that it was the first time
any man had ever traversed 330
yards in time of under three min
utes. Also from the Big Six confer
ence for recognition was Kansas
