Gordon, Ainsworth Class B Toumey Favorites cordon high s defending dis trict champions are favored to repeat in the 1954 class B cage . tourney which opens here Tues day, M%rch 2, and continues through Wednesday, Thursday • and Friday, March 3, 4, 5. Last year the Gordon club knocked off O’Neill in the finals and went to the state tourney, only to be kayoed in the first round there. The 1954 meet opens Tuesday, March 2, when Bassett meets Val entine at 7 p.m., and Neligh faces Plainview at 8:30 p.m. In other first round games to be played the following night—Wednesday, March 3 — O’Neill tackles Ains . worth at 7 and Burwell clashes with Gordon at 8:30. In semifinal play on Thursday, March 4, the Neligh-Plainview winner takes on the Ainsworth O’Neill victor, and the Bassett . Valentine victor will face the Burwell-Gordon winner. Finals will be played Friday night, March 5. D. E. Nelson is tourney director. The number two team in the O’Neill tourney is Ainsworth, which has accumulated an im pressive record. Chuck Spear man. the Bulldogs’ tall boy, has paced the attack and enabled Ainsworth to romp over all com ers. Rock county high (Bassett), however, captured the laurels in the North-Central Nebraska con ference tourney, and by virtue of cl its loop performance rates the i ■ T number three slot on the pre tourney dopesheet. Marvin Bus singer is Bassett’s hotshot. Number four position was a tossup between the Neligh War riors, always a rugged foe m the O’Neill tourney, and the O' Neill Eagles, who have been hav ing an up-and-down season. The Warriors have a lad named Tom Gabelman, who has established a scoring record in the Neligh camp. He has been an offensive standout throughout his career, i The Eagles started the preholiday campaign impressively, sloshed through a so-so January, and in February play appear to be on the rebound, relying mainly on the offensive play of Forward Larry Chace. Other teams in the tourney are: Plainview, which has been having dificulty winning any games this season; the Valentine Badgers, a mediocre outfit, and the Burwell Longhorns, not too impressive.
