* I The end was sudden and bitter lor the Eagles of O’Neill High on Monday evening when they fell victim to Broken B w by a 66-51 score in the first round ac tion of the District Tourney at Ord The to]>-seeded Eagles couldn’t get moving the first half while Broken Bow's George Ko var scored 15 (Mints in the first quarter from the middle of the free throw lane. Th- underdog Warriors out hustled (he O’Neill crew eff the board > and bottled up Rich Hill, holding the 6’ 7" center to five points the first half. Senior Ter ry Kurtz dropped in five of the Eagn even field goals in the first half, and the only three of the in t quarter as the big blue simply couldn't get rolling. Broken Bow started hitting from out in the second quarter and the OHS team found them seivf.. trailing 31-21 at the half. The turning point of the game occureil with 2 seconds to go in the fir.it halt when Hill committ ed his fourth foul while trying to block a B’oken Bow lay-in. Without the services of Big Rich in the third period, the Eagles found their outside shooters covered and they hail to re ley on the work of sophomore pivot man Ivan Hurley, who scor ed seven points in the third stan za. The Eagles were trailing 48 38 going into the final peri d when Hill returned from the bench. But Rich’s 16 points in the closing quarter couldn't make up for the deficit. Back-court men Gary Plessell and Kurtz fouled out with less thah two minutes remaining. The story could be related sim ply and quickly in two words: free throws. As usual, the Eagles missed and their opponents hit Broken Bow dropped in nine of twelve charity tosses in the fi nal quarter while the O’Neill group hit 46% for the evening. Kovar’s 32 tallies led Broken Bow. Two other Warriors scored , in double figures. O’NEILL Ig ft pf pt.

The twelve-point advantage h Id up going into the final stan za but again Bio unfield rallied this time to within one point of the Eagles before Coach Kokr da's crew recuperated and hiked the lead back up to seven points where it remained when the buzz er sounded.

Chest X-Ray Survey Planned Here March 11-22 In announcing the dates for the Holt County Chest X-Ray Survey Mrs. James Gallagher, Survey chairman, wishes to call attention to the fact that only the commun ities of O'Neill and Atkinson will be used as locations for the X-ray Unit. All Holt County residents are urged to participate in the survey at these locations. O'Neill: March 11. 12. 13, 14. 15, 18. 19, 20. 21. and 22. Atkinson: March 26. 27. 28. and 29. The necessity for this type of scheduling was explained by a State Health Department repre sentative at a recent meeting of the County Tuberculosis Commit tee. The Health Department's X Ray Survey facilities have been limited to one Mobile X-Ray Unit because of a reduction of funds appropriated for this program To make this Unit available to all Nebraskans in a minimum of time the plan was devised to limit locations of the Unit to the county-seat and/or other large community in the county. This plan has been in effect since Oc tober. 1960 but aside from the fact that it is not as convenient for everyone as formerly, results have been very satisfactory. Why high school students are not included in the community chest X-Rayr program was ex plained by Dr. E. A. Rogers, di rector of the sta*e of Nebraska Department of Health. "The fact that the free X-Ray service is aimed at finding the unknown cases of tuberculosis among adults does not mean that children are immune to tubercu losis,” Dr. Rogers said. TB can and does strike at any age, and children can develop pulmonary tuberculosis. However, it is much Jess common among them than among those of middle age and over. "We can be fairly sure that a child who develops TB catches it from an adult, probably one in his immediate family. It seems best to prevent this by finding the hidden cases of TB among the adult population,” he explain ed. Dr. Rogers emphasized the fact that a child does not inherit tuberculosis from his parents. However, he pointed out, adults can be passing on TB germs to children, as well as to other adults, not knowing that they have the disease in active form.
