The Sports Front
With Smoky

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.
