LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln, Nebraska,
March 24, 1945.
Dear Readers:
Starting this week I will again
try to bring to you readers of the
“Frontier”, a little bit of news
from tlie "World of Sports”. 1 will
write it In the form of a letter and
I hope it will be interesting to you
and I will try my best to make
it so.
The 35th Annual State Basket
ball Tournament held here in Lin
coln last wreek was a huge suc
cess from all standpoints. Even
after Lincoln High was upset by
ScottsblufT In the first round of
the tournament the fans con
tinued to coine and give their sup
port to the teams that were to be
crowned as the kings in the four
classes of the Btate tournament.
Creighton Prep Is the new'
Champion in Class A. Prep played
a brilliant game in the finals
against Scottsbluff to take a well
earned 33-2 3 victory. Prep's Gene
Wickencarnp started off the scor
ing in the championship game
with a beautiful one-handed shot
from far out in the court to give
Prep a 2-0 lead. But then the
Scottsbluff Bearcats began to
move and after making a free
throw, Whitehead and Crook each
scored a basket to give Scottsbluff
a 5-2 first quarter advantage.
Scoring w as fairly even in the sec
ond period and when the half
ended Scottsbluff still had a slim
12-10 lead. After intermission
Creighton Prep's Bluejays began
to move with Salerno and Emery
leading the attack, i’rep's attack
began functioning and they took a
18-16 third quarter lead. In the
final period Scottsbluff made two
fast baskets to give themselves a
20-18 lead, but then the Creigh
ton Prep machine really began to
roll in high gear and Scottsbluff
tired out fighting Bearcats failed
to stop the tide as Creighton Prep
was crowned the new Champion
in Class A with a 33-23 victory.
Now turning to Class B we find
that the quintet from Sidney was
crowned King in Class B when
they took a hard-fought 23-21
victory over the Minute Men from
Lexington High. Sidney starting
the game off wjj.h a basket and
had control of the first period as
they took a 5-2 advantage at the
quarter. But in the second period
the Minute Men outscored Sidnej
to tie up the ball game 9-9 at
the half. In the third period Sid
ney led by their fine players
Couch and Wilnes again taking
the lead and held Lexington to
six points as they gained a 20-15
lead at the end of the third
period. In the fourth and final
quarter Lexington again began to
rally after Sidney1 had moved to a
23-15 lead, the Mtnute Men closed
up the gap with a 23-21 disadvan
tage with a minute left in the
game. Then both sides fought fu
riously and Bob Smith, tall, lanky
center on the Lexington team
missed three under the basket
shots in the last 30 seconds of
play and Sidney was crowned
Champs in B with a 23-21 win.
College View of Lincoln was
crowned champs In Class C when
they won a 34-26 triumph over
the fighting quintet from Oakland.
Oakland started off scoring with a

free throw, but the Viewmen
scored a bucket a minute latei
and grabbed a lead which the>
never relinquished. College View
had a 5-4 quarter lead and were
in front by 17-11 at the half. And
in the third and final periods the
Viewmen continued to use the
speed to cop a 34-26 victory and
their first Class C crown.
Hampton High School won
their third Class D title in four
years when they outlasted a tough
Paxton crew 34-29 in the Cham
pionship game in Class D. Hamp
ton held a slim 11-10 lead at the
half but moved to a six point lead
in the third period and kept their
lead in the final quarter as they
won by a 34-29 count. Paxton had
a good team but Larson and Hann
led their Hampton crew to their
third title in the last four years,
which Is great for any team.
Everything was quiet in the
Legislature Chamber last Satur
day morning except in the front
row where State Senator Ray
Ilabcock of Sidney and Senator
Loyd Kain of Lexington were
having a friendly argument with
Greg .McBride, sports writer for
the Omaha World Herald, as the
referee. It happened that Sidney
and Lexington the two cities from
where the senators wrere from,
were going to fight it out that
evening on the hardwmod floor for
the Class B State Basketball
Championship. Although Sidney
won the game by a narrow 23-21
margin, Senator Kain didn’t seem
to be out too much for we
noticed the following Monday that
he still had his shirt on.
Well readers I guess that I
have written enough for this
week. I hope that you will enjoy
this column and I will say
"Adieu” till next week.
SANITY HEARING BILL TO BE
CHANGED
In one of the most interesting
committee hearings of the session
Warden Neil Olson of the State
Penitentiary appeared before a
special meeting of the Judiciary
committee Monday afternoon and
asked that he be relieved of the
duty of deciding if a condemned
person should be given a sanity
hearing or not. And so the Judi
ciary committee decided that they
will introduce a bill giving the
Board of Pardons the responsi
bility of instituting proceedings
to have a sanity test for the con
demned person. The law as it now
stands puts this squarely on the
head of the warden.
In trying to get the Judiciary
committee to repeal or change
the present law, Warden Olson
declared that he didn’t believe
that he should be given the duty
of deciding if they should or
should not be given the right of
having a sanity hearing. Warden
Olson further said, "I am not a
doctor and I don’t see how I could
be perfectly sure that he was
crazy unless it was a severely bad
case. I might think thkt a person
was Bane while a doctor would
say that he was insane.’*
This was all brought about by
the electrocution last week of
Joseph MacAvoy, who was dealt
the supreme penalty for the rape
slaying of 16 year old Anna Mil
roy of Sutton in August, 194 3.
W'arden Olson declared that he
was firmly convinced and always
would be that MacAvoy was per
fectly sane and he said that when
he talked to MacAvoy about a
Banity hearing MacAvoy said to
him, “Warden, I am no more
crazy than you are." Warden Ol
son said he had many phone calls
up to the last five hours before
the death of MacAvoy asking
why he wasn’t giving a sanity
hearing, and so he decided that
he did not want the power to de
cide If they should have a hear
ing and also decided to try to
have the original law repealed.
Senator Sam Klaver of Omaha
asked Warden Olson If he be
lieved In capital punishment and
If he thought that capital pun
ishment would stop murder. The
Warden answered "No” to both
questions saying ”1 have never
believed In capital punishment
and never will, and I do not be
lleve that by giving a person a
death sentence It will help to de
teriorate crime."
