Dates' Booh and Stationery Store City Basketball Team Drops Hard Fought Contest Co. I Team at Glenwood Wins Game in Last Few Seconds 20 to 19 by a Free Toss. One of the best basketball games that the fans of this section have had the privilege of witnessing in many a long day was that staged last night at the armory at Glenwood. The team of Co. I, 168th infantry, composed of the former stars of the Glenwood high school, including Hatcher, the scoring ace of last year's G. H. S. in their clash with the stars of the Plattsmouth alumni were the winners 20 to 19. but the game was one full of thrills and action on the part of both teams. The Plattsmouth team led the scoring for the greater part of the game, having a 15 to 9 lead at the half. In the second half the Glen wood team crept to the front and led at one time 19 to 17, the Platters tying the score just as the game was in the last few seconds of the hectic battle, then Oserholm, forward of Glenwood and Turner, local guard, tripped and the foul was charged to the fast Platter guard and Osterholm made it good for the winning score just as the gun announced the close of the game. The Glenwood team will play here later in the season in a return battle with the Nebraskans. The tabulated score f the game was as follows: Plattsmouth McCleary, f Svobcda, c Turner, g McCrary, g Wiles, g Trively, c Glenwood Osterholm. f Hatcher, f Flynn, c Cheney, c Coles, g Martin, g Kates, g FG FT PF T1J - 3 0 2 6 . 3 1 2 7 . 1 0 0 2 . 2 0 2 4 . 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 9 1 10 19 TO FT PF TP - 1 2 0 4 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 1 9 0 0 1 0 -1113 8 ? 3 20 SANTA PARADE It is not certain as yet which way Santa and his party will make their entrance into Plattsmouth. It is a question whether he will come in on Washington or Chicago avenue. However if you will locate yourself somewhere on Main street between 6th and the depot you will be sure to see him. He will have two full dofr teams driven tandem. It will be quite a sight to see these teams as they are genuine Alaskan and Siber ian dogs such as they use in the north and nothing of the kind ha? ever been seen in Plattsmouth before. We erpect to have a bicycle corps of about 30 boys to escort the party down Main street, also a Boy Scout buglf-r unit, which will ride just ahead of the Santa Claus party. In Monday's paper we expect to list the names of the boys who will compose this bicycle escort. Watch these col umns for other interesting news about Santa.

HITLER FORBADE TO BROAD CAST SPEECH TO THE U. S. Berlin, Dec. 11. Adolf Hitler, Germany's No. 1 fascist, tried to reach the ear of America tonight with a broadside against Chancellor Bruening but the dictatorial arm of the government thrust him aide. Both Reich and Prussian author ities forbade him to broadcast to the United States an eight thousand-word address he had drafted in reply to the chancellor's radio speech of sev eral nights ago. After attempting in vain to tele phone the document to London for relay across the Atlantic, Hitler grudgingly submitted it to the offi cial tadio censor. It was barred on the grounds that It would violate the ."Christmas truce" on political agttdtlon set up by the latest emer-: gency decree. The fascist leader had hoped to retaliate in stinging terms against Chancellor Bruening's warning that his government was the only recog nized authority in the land and that President von Hlndenburg would de clare martial law if necessary to pre serve it from subversive influence.
