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.

field on Friday. O’Neill jumped
t» a 20-6 first quarter lead as
all of the first live seemed to
be finding the range, but with
a 30-10 lead the visiting blue sud
ilenly relaxed and they found
their lea l cut to 33 21 at half

The twelve-point advantage

this time to within one point of
the Eagles before Coach Kokr

Workshop for
Area Recreation
Leaders Planned
March 20 is the date set for
the county wide recreation school
to be held in O’Neill at the Le
gion Hall. The day long and eve
ning sessions are open to anyone
who plans, assists, or leads re
creation for an organization.
Since this is not intended to en
tertain, only those who will act
ually conduct recreation are ask
ed to come.
The session will begin about
8:30 in the morning and continue
until 10:15 in the evening. Cover
ed during that time will be ideas
on music, games, folk and
square dancing, dramatics and
the philosophy of recreation. Ex
hibits on world wide games, pup
pets, decorations, crafts awl
home made games may also be
seen.
The recreation school is spon
sored by the Holt County Agri
cultural Extension Service. How
ever, the personnel would like to
emphasize that the school is not
limited to any organization. Any
one interested in leading recre
ation is invited to attend.
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.
