Eagles Suffer First Loss; Burwell Ends Win Streak Take 81-67 Win At Bassett Friday Thirteen proved to be the un lucky number for the O’Neill Eagles on Saturday as they drop 1**1 their decision after twelve straight victories. The giant-kill ers were the Longhorns of Bur well, who won their ninth victory in a row after i<»sing their first three starts. The outside shoot ing of senior Joe Hoppes proved the difference in the battle as the veteran Longhorn pumped in 32 points in the 59-52 triumph. The Eagles started out slow iq the first quarter, managing only two free throws in the first six minutes of action as the visitors jumped to a 13-8 first quarter lead. A 20-point second period shot the Eagles into a 28-27 ad vantage at half-time. Gary Ples sel! spurred the big blue’s first half attack with nine points. But then the Longhorns seemed to put the lid on the Eagles bas ket as the O’Neill crew could on ly manage eight points in the third quarter while Burwell net ted 12 to take a 39-36 lead into the final stanza. Again the Eagles rallied, and when they shot into a six-point • lead with less than three min utes left in the contest it seem ed as though the big blue could hold onto their advantage. But a flurry of ball handling mistakes and mental errors gave BurwelJ the edge they needed amd the visitors regained the lead and forced the Eagles to come out and foul them. , Hoppes cashed in 23 j>oints the second half, 14 of these in the final quarter. Burwell’s 6’ 5” Mick Ashman, who tips the scales at nearly 250 pounds, dominated both boards throughout the con test while pumping in 14 points in the first half. All-stater Rich Hill collected on ly 18 points to top the Eagles. Sophomore Ivan Hurley added 13 to the losing cause.

The big blue had an offen sive carnival as all five starters marked up double figures in the score book. The first half was a hot and heavy battle with both teams shooting the bottom out of the net. Terry Kurtz scored 12 points in the first half for the Eagles and Bassett's Kent Estes netted 14 in the first two stanzas as the score was deadlocked 37-37 at the intermission. A big third quarter, character istic of the Eagles (when they win), took the wind out of the Tigers’ sails and the big blue coasted into the fourth quarter with a ten-point lead. But the vis iting Eagles weren’t about to let up as they racked up 23 more points in the final period to hike the final tally to 81-67. Big Rich Hill led the scoring with 20 points, followed by Kurtz’s 18 counters. Ivan Hurley added 17, Rich Frost scored 13, and Gary Plessell contributed 10 more to the Eagle’s cause.

The Cards, trailing all the way, sometimes by as much as 10 pts, rallied from a 42-48 deficit in the last three minutes to win in the closing seconds as Owen Dono hoe hit a jump short to break a 52-52 tie with but 10 seconds re maining, then Jerry Donohoe hit a charity toss to give the Cards a 55-52 margin with just six sec onds left in the game.

Chambers, recently enlisted in the Navy “Beef State Company ’6S’’ Orders Received For 30,000 Trees; Planting Nears Plans are underway for another big year of tree planting in Holt Soil and Water Conservation I>ist rict. To date orders have been received for over 30,000 trees with about two months remaining be fore the planting season actually begins. Superv isors of the Holt Soil and Water District urge coopcrators to make their tree planting plans as soon as possible to 'ease the last minute rush, allow' for more adequate ground preparation and to be sure of getting the desired species. Rocky Mountain junipers are sold out and Austrian pine are in short supnly through the Clarke McNary program. The District plans to operate two tree crews tins spring which will mean that ail trees will be planted well within the spring season. They also plan to operate a sprayer to apply siniagln to the tree row to pre vent the growth of all annual weeds. An additional service being o7 fored this year for the first time is a replanting program. Coop erators may hire District em ployees to hand plant trees that are missing in belts two or three years old. This is very important in obtaining a good belt and yet a job that too often is not taken care of at the proper time. Cost shares through ACP or GP will take care of from fifty percent to seventy five percent of the cost of replanting. A good tree planting can be of untold value in protecting farm steads, feed lots and cropland fields if properly planned, plant ed and maintained. However a belt that has opening in it where trees have died out reduces its effectiveness tremendously. Re planting the proper species and having a full stand will greatly improve the effectiveness of windbreaks. Verdigre Youth Wins Two Honors In Past Week Larry L.
