Eagles Trail Swedes, Finally Win, 48-44 Gothenburg Leads Til Final Minute Coach Paul Baker’s O’Neill bigh Eagles played hot-an-cold ball until the final minute of play in last Thursday evening’s debacte with the touring Goth am burg Swedes. With a flourish the Blues pull ahead in the waning seconds sbmIl pulled the game out of the fine, 43-44. Brand of ball exhibited by both teams was good and bad. It was Gothenburg’s first night out a road trip and also the Swedes’ first show of the season. Nart night they topped the Ord Chanticleers by a narrow mar 4T-46. The Swedes showed evidence playing their first game. They baa an extreme advantage in fcfseght, which they used to their advantage. O’Neill’s long Gary Buckmas ter, key to the Eagles’ offense, was over-anxious and put in a long evening. Officiating was loose and the «crowd was miserable in size. The house should have been packed for the game between two good class B schools. Sev wal carloads of Gothenburg faithfuls negotiated the 200 odd miles to see the game. Davey Eby played headsup ball for the victors and worked m all three positions. It was O’ Neill’s second win in three smarts. Gothenburg led 13-11 at the first quarter, 29-20 at inter mission, and 38-33 at the end of the third Boxscore: O^NETLL (48) fg ft pf tp Hollenbeck_ 3 2 2 8 Chace_ 2 2 0 6 Eby_ 3 8 2 14 Kilcoin_10 0 2 Buckmaster_ 4 3 5 11 Carroll_ 0 3 4 3 Closson _ 0 111 Booth_114 3 Totals_14 20 18 48 GOTH.

James W. Rooney, O’Neill bus inessman and member of the liobrara association board of di ectors, probably best summed up the reasons in support of Bur dick’s plan among the 27 who poke for it. Said Rooney: “I am remembering the years 1932, 1934 and 1936—among the driest on record in our area. Down through the years the rec Drd shows that in 12 out of each dO years north-central Nebraska needs supplemental moisture for our crops. “Irrigation will help overcome this deficiency on 66,100 acres of land in the O’Neill - Emmet \tkisnon area where now there are 353 farms. I predict the num ber of units will be increased to a minimum of 456 farms, figur ing 160-acre units. (North Platte valley units average only 78 acres, however, for a compar ison.) “I predict there would be a 40 percent increase in crops annual ly, or an annual increase of— 3,900 tons of beef, 890 tons of pork, 155 tons of poultry, 4.920 tubs of butter, 35.920 cases of eggs. “In addition,” Mr. Rooney con tinued, “irrigation would assure for this cattle country an abun dance of feed and forage. In dry years we have to ship in forage. “Irrigation would help create an outlet for feeder cattle right here,” he concluded. Other speakers in support of the development plan pointed out increased production and increased population would follow, others stressed recrea tion advantages that would ac company the reclamation, and others pointed to the power that would be produced. Burdick’s overall proposal cov ers 14 interrelated operating un its of which the Ponca unit is smallest. About 144,000 acres of land would be irrigated and some 200-million kilowatt hours of electric energy would be gen erated annually. If the Ainsworth, Valentine and Gordon hearings are as gen erally enthusiastic as the O’Neill meeting in favor of the plan, Governor Peterson is expected to refer the bureau’s report to congress for possible authoriza tion. This reference, however, might await the inauguration of Nebraska’s governor-elect, Rob ert Crosby.
