The Sports Front With Smoky By Howard “Smoky” Molden • With all major football games being played except the bowl games which will afford plenty of excitment on New Years day, we now turn to basketball. Here on our own home front we find the U. of N. getting under South Da kota. Joe Brown who was leading scorer on last years team is the lone vet. Coach Good has been giving the boys a good pre-season work out so they should be in top condition for some fast snappy ball handling. Lincoln City League is now underway at Everett High School gym. i The Urban League Cagers who have been hard at work will swing into action Thursday night against Burgens. Most of the fel lows who are playing on the seni or team are returned vets. The Junior Cagers have entered the church league. And from what I’ve seen of the junior line up they have a snappy outfit and should cause plenty of trouble for their opponents. Father C. J. Flanagan’s Boys Town football team arrived in Maimi, Fla., to play Saint Peter and Paul in the Orange Bowl. But Tom Carodine, quarter back and Jake Williams left end couldn’t play because of race prejudice, but acted as equipment men. I, like many others wonder why Father Flanagan permitted his team to play. ! i j Patronise Our Advertisers i ■ GREETINGS Acme Plbg. & Htg.
