Atkinson Catholic Team
Expected to Romp
in Class C
Pairings for the annual class C
basketball tourney, to be held
here February 26-27-28 were
made Saturday but the whole

mality rather than a die-hard
competition.
The reason is simple:
The strong St. Joseph ball team,
of Atkinson, last year’s Nebraska
class C champs, is in quest of an
other state title, and nothing short
of a miracle is exected to stop
the Josies from repeating in the
O’Neill district elimination.
The Josies represent a class D
school voluntarily competing in
class C.
Officials of the meet will be
I./'o Tomiack, of Ewing, and
Wayne Galyen, of Atkinson. Supt.
Ira George is in charge.
