Game from the
Blue and White

Second Bound.
From Friday's Daily

of the best and probable winner of
I thf 1ft27 state tmirnov 1 i mi nn tprl
14 to 6.
The score at the end of the first
half was 6 to 0 in favor of Crete,
Plattsmouth failing to score in the
first half.
The Crete team falses one of the.
best forms of any team at the state
tourney and in their battle with
Havplock on Thursday night vere
able to hold them at will while in
the Plattsmouth game they felt the
difference in the fast ami speedy
Cass county team and who held the
Crete team to a narrow margin to
win.
The Crete team flases one of the
ner of the St. Paul-Kearney game
this evening at the coliseum and on
Saturday will clash in the finals, as
the prospects arc that the Crete team
will pass through the semi-finals
without danger of defeat.
Crete scored but two field coals in
the entire game and the winning
scores were made on the free throws
as the close guarding of the Plat
ters penalized xlhem and the deadly

Defeats Crete, Favorite for Champion
After Crete Eliminates the
Platters. i
From Saturday's Dally 1
The greatest surprise in the Ne
braska high school basketball tour
ney was pulled last night when the
frisky St. Paul quintet, Loup valley
champions, kicked over the dope
bucket and eliminated Crete, the
general favorite for the class A tour
ney honors by the score of 18 to 14
The victory of St. Paul came as a
i blow to the hopes of Crete who had
won in the morning game from
Plattsnouth after a grueling game
that seemingly had taken a greater
toll of the energy of the Crete tossers
than was apparent and which handi
caped them when the St. Paul five
swept them off thir feet at the start!
and Crete was not able to step out in !
front through the game, although i
at the first quarter the score was'
tied 4 to 4 at the half, the scire
was 11 to 8 for St. Paul and the third
quarter found the St.. Paul team lead- i
