As the Eagles and the Balers took the first quarter to settle down, the scoreboard read: O’ Neill 5, Atkinson 4.

LEIDY — O’Neill, Nebraska — © OTOi TRIPS STUART, 37-35 Tense, Nerve - Wracking Tilt Delights Cage Fans In a nerve-wracking, lead changing encounter. Coach How ard Dean’s O’Neill high school Eagles Tuesday evening here downed a spirited Stuart quint, 37-35, before a good-sized crowd of partisan cage fans. It was the second win of the season for the Eagles over the Stuart club. O’Neill eliminated Stuart in the first round of the Holt county tournament which was played here in the latter part of January. Both prep clubs eased into the scoring column and when the initial period buzzer sound ed, O’Neill held a 1-point ad vantage, 10-9. Play flashed into the fast up-and-down-the-floor brand and as the scoring smoke cleared at the intermission the count stood at Stuart 22, O’Neill 16. Coach Kenny Paul’s boys couldn’t keep up the fast pace coupled with accuracy in their shooting and O’Neill took over. Led by diminutive Don Godel and lanky Ted Lindberg the Eagles took up the scoring gap and slid into a 1-point lead as the final period of play got un derway. Everybody but Godel cooled off as he continued to pepper the bucket for 6 points during the final stanza. Play was tense, fast and clean as the clock tick ed off the final minutes. The losing Broncs pulled up to within a point of tying the game with about 45 seconds to go. Seger swished a gratis toss, but Stuart trailed 35-36. Godel broke down the floor and was going in for a layup shot when he was fouled. He potted one of two charities. Shortly after the final buzzer sounded. Seger, the hard-charging, stel lar, point-maker for Stuart, top ped the tilt scoring honors with 10 baskets and a quartet of free shots for a 24-point total. Best for the winning Eagles was Godel with 14 points.

P Inman Pounds Chambers, 48-23 INMAN — It was just one of those unfortunate nights for Coach Les Eckdahl’s quintet and one of those excellent nights for the liman prep cage “5.” Inman drubbed the visiting Chambers club, 48-23. Coach Darel Bright’s gang could drop in any shot from any place on the floor while the South Holt quint could hit the bucket, have the ball roll around a couple of times and fall out. Bright’s charges grabbed a quick lead and maintained it as they eased to victory. Chambers trailed going into the second period, 5-12 and the Inman “5" neld a 23-7 advantage as the in termission buzzer sounded. The unexciting contest blend ed with the unbalanced scoring. The hard luck team from Chambers accounted for all of the first half points through charity tosses. As the final stanza got under way Inman was out in front by a 32-15 margin and coasted on to victory. Pat Hartigan, the luminary pivot-man of Inman, captured nigh scoring laurels for the game.

We do like your sports page and thins the real sports would like to read this article. l am a reader that likes good clean sports. ‘‘A READER”. SPORTSMANSHIP (From tiie Nehgh Leader) Sports in our scnooJs and col leges are receiving more atten tion yearly. More money, more tune and more energy is beuig spent upon it than ever before Why? W^ would like to believe it is because we have come to re alize the importance of good physical training and the in stilling into the youth the prin ciples of good sportsmanship. What is this thing called "good sportsmanship?" Is it just something that is practiced on the football field, the basketball floor or the track? It should be Laming that would extend to our everyday life and guide our actions in our daily contact with those about us. Throughout the country a ' growing tendency has been noted of late on the part of au diences at various athletic ac tivities to boo the officials, razz the players and banter back and forth between the spectators. Neligh is not excluded in the in dictment. We can hardly expect to in still good sportsmanship in our youth while oldsters fail to prac tice what they preach. And there is little use in expending so much energy and money in teaching good sportsmanship to the participants in the game if those for whom they are play ing are themselves lacking in the principles of good sports manship, They all tie together. If good sportsmanship is such a fine thing, how about prac ticing it? A good place to start would be right here in Neligh. Perhaps you don’t agree with the officials; maybe the coach doesn’t handle the team as you would like to; perhaps the play are not “going hot.” So what! Booing and razzing will not cure any fault. Let’s try a new tac tic, Let’s cheer! Spencer, Nebr. Feb. 11, 1950 O’Neill Frontier O'Neill.
