The Pierce Cardinals and Wayne Morrisons will square-off on the public school maples in a continuation of a friendly fued that began earlier in the season in the Wayne amateur tourney. The Cards are an unsponsored team, recruited largely from ex Pierce high school stars and ex college stars who hail from the Pierce neighborhood, which has traditionally been a seat of good basketball. Unsponsored, the Cards have won 14 games and lost two in amateur competition, including wins over Norfolk jun ior college, Midland college, Nor folk Legion, Humphrey Indepen dents, Vermillion (S. D.) Indepen dents, Sioux Travelers, Texas Brown Bombers, and Wayne Quality Market. Pushing the famous profession al Harlem Globe Trotters into an extra period, the Cards finally lost by three-points. The only Nebraska team to win from the Cardinals is the Wayne quint. Boast a 'Whizzer' White The Cards will be headed by Forward Whizzer White, who played prep basketball with Superior, where he received all state recognition, and later at Peru State Teachers’ college, where he was considered one of the best forwards ever to hit the school. White scored 389 points last year, is very fast, a strong defensive man, and has a left handed hook shot no opposing player has been able to stop. This season he has scored 16 points per game. Another Pierce mainstay is the elongated Lowell Magdanz, who towers at six and a half feet. He won his spurs at Pierce high, la ter performing at Wayne college. Ralph Rickly and Herb Peter son, Lions who are assisting with Arrangements, report that the Morrisons (named for Hotel Mor rison) are studded with current and past Wayne State Teachers’ college basketball talent. A preliminary game will begin at 7:30 p.m. and the main event goes on at 8:30. The funds will be used in a number of ways, a spokesman for the Lions said. The club is plan ning a contribution for the new hospital, and will use the funds to sustain its year-a round good will program.
