Bethany Checks
Winning Streak
of the Platters
Tall and Rangy Players From Lin
coln Show Machine Like Play
in Winning; 32 to 18.
From Friday's Dally
The Piattsmouth higli basketball
team lost its first game in nine starts
iast evening, as they went down to
defeat at the hands of the powerful
! Bethany quintet by a score of 32 to
i is
Bethany was in possession of the
ball the greater part of the game,
and kept advancing it into Platter
territory, whence they shot nothing
but positions and setups.
The contest during the first quar
ter looked to be anybody's game, as
it ended 4 to 3 for Bethany. Going
into the second stanza the visitors
opened a scoring splurge and closed
the first half leading 20 to 7.
Height was quite a determining
factor for Bethany, but the great
teamwork displayed was w hat
brought a maroon victory, as it has
in former games this season.
Piattsmouth was a long way from
being inferior to the invaders, us
they uncorked many beautiful and
daring plays.
Miller was the Platters' key man
as he kept his team in the game with
his four field goals and a free throw
which accounted for nine points.
Hayes did a commendable job of for-
warding and making five points,
Rebal opened with two eift tosses
jsiderably, he having but one goal to
' 1, : , . . 3 : rrl -J . r . , m
m iieuii. i iie ueienne woi k oi
Miller and Rebal was excellent. Reed
played his usual fine game at guard
as did Jacobs and McCarty at for
ward positions, but none had a
chance for goals.
Brown grabbed the scoring honors,
making seven field goals and a free
throw which spelled 15 points, but
Bethany could not present an out
standing star on the team so well
endowed with teamwork.
As an added feature at the half,
the girls glee club sang a Bohemian
song accompanied by Robert Kiser
and his accordian.
