vil are the 1950 divisional cham
pions of Nebraska High School
basketball. The four outfits cap
tured their final contests of the
year Saturday to take home the
coveted honors.
Lincoln Northeast is class A
champion for the second straight
season. The Rockets had to do
it the hard way, however, Sat
urday night as they overcame an
eight point deficit to down
Scottsbluff. Final score in that
tussle was 36-31, Northeast.
Scottsbluff, the only team to
defeat the champions this year,
started out as if they intended
to repeat. The Bluffs matched
point for point with the Rock
ets during the first period and
managed a one point, 10-9 lead
at the quarter.
The second period was all
Scottsbluff until the final two
minutes. At one time during
this period they held an eight
point margin over the defending
champions. The Rockets, defin
itely off their came, improved a
bit to narrow the score to 17-21
at the half.
The third quarter was even all
the way wtih thcRockets gaining
a point, but the lats period was
Northeasts's.

Glenvil Wins
Glcnvil's two Rons outscored
Uehling's two Mallettes to win
the class D championship Sat
urday night, 43-33. The two
Rons, Fitzkie and Zook, kept
Glenvil in front in the contest
most of the way while the two
Mallettes, Pat and Mike, kept
the score close until tne last mo
ments. Zook. Glcnvil's all-stater, was
the most closely guarded man
on the floor, but Fitzkie took
over in the scoring department
and kept the champions' score
mounting. Zook did deliver sev
eral markers to keep the cham
pions out of reach.
Pat Mallette was the best man
on the floor until he received
his fourth personal foul before
the first half came to a close.
Cousin Mike took over after that
and led the losing scorers.
Glenvil's triumph was the
33rd consecutive victory chalked
up by the class C champions
this year and kepi them one of
the two unbeaten teams in the
state.
Holy Name Coasts.
Omaha Holy Name, the terror
of Class B, had the easiest time
of it in winning its divisional
championship. Holy Warn
whipped Minden, 49-36.
It was a case of too much
height that caused the Minden
downfall. The Whippets were
definitely the more adept at
handling and- passing the ball,
but their failure to gain any foot
hold under the baskets spelled
their doom.
' Bis Howard Rudloff, Steve
McGill, Pat Thornton, and
Frank Trouba all controlled
the boards for the Omahans,
plus tipping in point after
point.
Rudloff, putting his six-foot,
four-inch frame in the dor of
all-state recognition, led the vic
tors in the point scoring depart
ment with 23. McGill added 11
to the cause.
Minden's crew depended on
Peterson, Christenson and Thom
sen. Peterson's 12 points led the
losers.
So the 1950 High School tour
ney has come to another suc
cessful completion. One defend
ing champion repeated, one was
beaten in the finals, one was
beaten in the semi-finals, and
one failed to earn the return trip
to Lincoln. Seward was that one
team, last year's class B champs.

Prep also had to come from
behind to take the champion
ship. Trailing 9-15 with two
minutes gone in the second pe
riod, Kuska caught fire and
helped his mates score ten while
Waverly went scoreless. The half
ended, 22-19, Chadron Prep.

Taus Uncontested
The biggest question of the
tourney is how good is Alpha
Tau Omega. The Taus breezed
through their 12 game schedule
without being pressed, piling up
big scores all the way. Their
opposition however, has not been
up to par to say 'the least.
Weak sisters in their schedule
handed six games tothe Taus. On
the blighter side, though, they
have romped over dependable
outfits like Sigma Chi and Pio
neer Co-op.
Their first round foe, the i hi
Pelts, had no trouble after their
first encounter with the SigEps.
Three very weak teams were
present in their league, too,
however.
DelU Impressive
Delta Tau Delta, on the other
hand, has had it tough practi
cally all the way. The Dclts
found themselves in what per
petition. Unbeaten, the Dclts
haps the toughest league of corn
were pressed in only three
games, two of these by defend
ing All-University champion,
Farm House.
Their first round opponent,
Sigma Nu, is perhaps the least
Impressive of the four. But you
ran t deny that the Nu's have
met riefeat at the hands
of then- opposition only once in
winning their respective leagues.
The Phi Delts, own the more
impressive record of 9-1. Their
one setback was at the hands of
Delta Upsilon, 31-25, a defeat that
was later avenged, 26-21. In
cluded in their string of victories
are wins over rBted teams like
Alpha Gamma Rho, and Delta
Tau Delta.
The Sie Eps had the misfor
tune of beine cast Into ft weak
league. Their record or 7-1 is
spoiled only by their 30-34 upset
lost at the hands of Phi Kappa
Psi. They hve not pressed In
their other contests, winning
handily. The opening round of "B" com
petition is also scheduled for 5:10
p.m. with the winner piayniK
