THE STATE BASKET BALL
TOURNEY A GOOD ONE
i
Lincoln, March 10.—(Special)—The
eighteenth annual Nebraska High
School Basketball Tournament, char
acterized by officials as the most suc
cessful yet held, passed into sport
history with the playing of the final
game in Class A Saturday night. Two
thousand two hundred and fifty-nine
players were registered Thursday,
representing 2*!2 schools. On the
basis of their records this season and
in previous tournaments and the num
ber of students enrolled in high school
these teams were divided into 17

The unnunl tournament, conducted
under the joint uuspicos of the Ne
braska High-School Athletic Asso
ciation and the department of athlet
ics of the University of Nebraska, be
gun in 1911 with 21 teams in one
class. Because some limitation of
size became necessary, only teams
which had won TO per cent of their
games were admitted to competition
last year; and this year the require
ment was raised to 50 per cent.
With the exception of one court in
the Y. M. C. A. all games were play
ed on the courts of the mnmmoth new
Coliseum of the University, where six
games wen* in progress at one time.
During the tournament the Coliseum
was ablaze with the colorful sweaters
of high-school athletics. From all
parts of the state boys came to com
pete in what is probably the largest
basketball competition in the world.
A small army of officials was re
cruited—a hundred referees and um
pires, special police for traffic control
and information, floor managers, a
committee for reception and enter
tainment. and miscellancus assistants.
ST. MARY’S CARDINALS
LOSE TO COMSTOCK
(By Arthur King '31 O’Neill.)
Lincoln, Nebraska, March 9, 1928.
(Special) Saint Mary’s lost to Com
stock in their first game in Class M
of the eighteenth annual tournament.
Score 10-13. The Cardinals had a
hard time to get used to the floor.
“Ben” Clifford was off form the first
part of the game but came back to
make a perfect basket in the third
quarter. It was a "Clifford Special.”
One of those one armed tosses Hint
never touch the hoop.
Beha starred in the game. In the
first three seconds of play Bill made
a basket and before the crowd stop
ped cheering he made another one.
Truss played a perfect gamt^all the
way through, although he made no
points himself he made it possible for
the other men to score. Kenney, Mc
Carthy', Sullivan all played an equally
good game, but “Thil” could not re
sist the temptation to give his six
foot opponent a shove or two which
brought two personal fouls upon his
bead. The Comstock boys six-footers
who were able to safely play over the
Cardinals heads. Ben was closely
guarded from the very first and did
not have a good chance to show them
what he could do.
Coach Thalin should be commended
for his wonderful work with this
team, although disappointed at the
loss of the game he was proud of the
way the boys took their defeat, and
of the way they played when they ad
justed themselves to the floor.
In the first three minutes of play
Beha of O’Neill made two baskets.
Both sides were a little too anxious,
and the game was very slow, but
along toward the end of the quarter
Gatru of Comstock made a nice bas
ket. This seemed to wake them up
and the game started in earnest.
Clifford of the Cardinals was off form
and most of the trios for the hoop
were too low. In the second quarter
McCarthy of O'Neill substituted for
Sullivan. In the first few minutes of

the Cardinals but Gilmore missed the
basket. Gatru made another nice
|toss ami' the game was tied. Gilmore
I fouled Beha and the free throw was
made by him.
The third quartr nil the men started
off well and the plays were close.
Meyers broke away and made two
baskets. Clifford made a perfect
throw for a basket from behind the
foul lines. Gilmore fouled McCarthy
but the free throw was missed. In
the beginning of the fourth quarter
Gatru made another long basket,, put
ting Comstock well in the lead. Clif
ford made a perfect shot for another
basket and the game pepped! up on
both sides. Sullivan of O’Neill sub
stituted for Kenney but the game
ended soon after play started.

Lincoln, Nebraska, March 9, 1928.
(Special)—O’Neill won their first
game in Class F of the eighteenth an
nual Nebraska Basketball Tourna
f merit at Lincoln, by forfeit. O’Neill
was suited up and on the floor at 7:(t0

SECOND ROUND.
(By Arthur King, *81, O’Nill, Neb. >
Lincoln, Nebr., March 9.—Special.
O’Neill High School lost to Shelton
by a score of of 12 to 17 in a hard
fought game, their second scheduled
game in Class M of the eighteenth
annual basketball tournament at Lin
coln.
Lorenz plnyed a good game but he
was off on his free throws, missing
four chances to score. The opposing
team was fast, and although they
were not so good at locating the hoop
they seemed always to have a man j
where the ball was.
Marvin Johnson made a neat shot
for a perfect basket, and Hancock
followed with a similar shot soon
afterwards. The game started out
slow'. Both teams seemed to lack
the pep that is needed for a good
game. A foul was called on Schwis
ow of O’Neill and the free throw was
made by Conroy of Shelton. This
seemed to wake the boys up, and the
game turned into a real fight on both
sides, resulting in a great number of
personal fouls on both sides. Three
free throws were given to O’Donnell
of O’Neill but he failed to find the
hoop with the ball. Brady made an
other basket for Shelton just as the
quarter ended.
In the beginning of the second quar
ter another by O’Neill and another by
Shelton. This was the first point
scored by O’Neill in the game. Lor
enz sank a long shot near the end of
the half. After the half the whole
game leaned toward Shelton and the

fourth quarter and tied the score, but
Shelton broke away again raised their
score to 17, by a number of free
throws and a goal. O’Neill was only
able to make two more points before
the game ended.' A foul was called
on Shelton just as the bell rang but
Lorenz failed to raise the O’Neill
score the two points.

PRICK BATS.
last fall a carnival arrived to cheer
us for a week; it had a horse that
climed and dived, side show and cir
cus freak. We had a lot of work to
do, our duties were piled high;
’twould take all day to get clear
through, no matter how we’d try.
Just then we heard the ragtime band
upon the village street; we gazed
upon their costumes grand, and fig
urged we could cheat. So to our work
we madly plied, we worked both brawn
r.nd brow; the work wo used to do j
with pride we finished up—and how!
From afternoon till late that night
the midway reaped our kale, and when
we’d seen the last grand sight the
eastern sky was pale. Next day we
found to our dismay the world had
gone askew; our hurried work near
turned us gray, and nothing else
would do, but that we must work on
like sin for forty-seven days to clear
the muddle we were in and straighten
out the maze. It’s fine to have a lit
tle fun, to take some time for play;
but not until our work is done, and
done the proper way.—Brick Smith. '

€et These Additional
Spreader Advantages
Every user of a manure spreader readily admits that this
equipment is one of the best investments any farmer can make,
but remember this—there’s a world of difference in manure spreaders—a dif-'
ference in loading, in draft, in the work done, in the iife, upkeep costs and
Lire service they give.
JOHN DEERE SPREADER j
The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle
has f these distinctive advantages—advantages
over others that result in saving time, labor and
money.
Easier on you. It is only 36 inches from the
ground to the top of the box— from 6 to 10 inches
lower than others—save- about half the work of
loading because the manure is in the box without
the hard part of lilting necessary when loading
other spreaders.
Easier on your horses. High drive wheels
Materially lighten the draft—from 4 to 8 inches
higher than others. The manure on the endless
apron is rolled hack to the beater on 48 roller bear
ings. If you were going to move a ton weight
the easiest way you wouldn't drag it—you would
put rollers under this load and roll it, as on the
John Deere.
Doas better work. It isn’t necessary to pile
the John Deere Spreader with manure high in the
center to get on a load: consequently, the spread
Is even the entire width. Another point, the
beater on the John Deere is low to the ground—
manure is not thrown high in the air for side wind?
to catch it and cause drifting.
The revolving rake, a patented feature, imbeds j
its teeth into the manure and revolves with the
load—this pc-mits the beater teeth to tear the ma
nure apart. No bunching—no uneven spreading.
Lasts longer. It has only about half the
parts ordinarily required.
No clutches —no chains—no adjustments to
make. AH of the main working parts are on the
axle where they can’t get out of line to cause extra
wear, binding and breakage. The upkeep costs
are extremely low and the service it gives is much I
longer.
All of these advantages arc evident when coir.- '
pari tons aie made I
iCoire in and see the John Doere on our lioor ready for your inspection.
