Nebraska High Basket Ball Tourney Should Be Closely Contested - <«_i______——--—T*. Central, Lincoln, Wahoo and North Platte Own Fancy Records Upsets Should Be One of Features of Annual State Tournament Which Starts in Lincoln Next Month. HE 1923 state high school basket ball tourna ment to be held here March 8, 9, 10, promises to be one of the most closely contested classics on record. There is not a single outstanding team in the state. Lincoln, Wahoo and North Platte have fancy records, but can only claim dis tinction in their sections of the state. The general mixup Is better understood by a squipt at the records of Lincoln, Wahoo and Geneva, The Links defeated Geneva by a 10-point margin, but lost to the much-touted Wahoo five. 17 to 22. Geneva lat<?r in the season won a tough battle from Coach Anderson’s pupils, 20 to 18. The Red and Black quintet, to make the party merrier, succeeded in handing Crete, runner-up in last year s tourney, a to is cleaning:, i no dcsi me wauuu five could do was to squeeze a 20 to 16 win, while the Fillmore county ath letes had to be satisfied with a 16 to 14 victory. Two Teams I.ooU Good. In the eastern part of the state two Omaha teams loom up as serious championship contenders. Omaha Central with victories over Hastings, Geneva and Fremont are strong. Creighton I’rep, after snatching a game from Central for the Omaha city championship, fell before the Geneva team in a tight battle, 12 to 13. , Lincoln makes a real bid for the cup by her victories over Geneva. Sutton, Ravenna, Hastings nndsUni Place. Wahoo, however, put a wrench in Coach Browne's machine with a 22 to 17 victory, a few weeks ago. Sutton, 1922 champs, have a good record, having defeated Lincoln and York. One of the best games seen on the local court was the Sutton I-lncoln scrap, which Coach' Knipples I proteges lost. 18 to 17. Crete Not So Good. The Crete five, which went to the | finals last year, is not hitting the ! hoop In championship fashion, having ■ lost several games to the leaders by 1 close margins. York has been traveling at a fast clip lately, due largely to the efforts , of Calvert, their star forward. North 1 Platte claims the championship of the western part of the state by victories over Alliance, Gothenberg, Sidney and Kearney. South Omaha. Clay Center and pos sibly one other former Class A aggre gation have not kept the pace set this year by the other contenders. Val paraiso, rated in the Class K 1922 grouping, probably will make tho big gest leap of any team in the tourney. Lincoln was forced to extend herself to annex a »1 to 21 victory, vhile Crete tasted a 21 to 15 defeat. Har vard, with wins over Sutton and Grand Island, should also advance to a higher class. Woodward Leads in Trapshooting New York, Feb. 21.—K. F. Wood ward of Houston, Tex., leads the country on "doubles" for 1922. He ilbes bo by right of the skill with which liis hands anfl his eyes point the gun at the "doubles" (two targets thrown from the same trap at the same time), and the precision with which the index finger of his right hand pulls the trigger governing each discharge of the gun he is handling. Last year Woodward shot at TT459 tarets "thrhwn two at a time," in other words he shot at 750 doubles, and ended up with an average of .9434, an average which ail records show has never before been beaten. Frank Troeh of Vancouver, Wash., who leads ail the tr.rp shooters In the race for high average on 16-yaril sin gle targets with the wonderful record of .9838 on 6,260 targets shot at. Is second on the list in the doubles race. He shot at 1,650 targets (823 doubles) and broke 1,509 which gave him an average of .9143. Frank Hughes of Mobridge, 8. D., who on May 3 at Greenwood, Mis*., tied Woodward's record of 99x100 on 50 doubles, was in third place for the year's average with a record of .8981 on 1,650 targets shot at the number that Troeh shot at. Heinie Harsch Defeats Swanson Heinie Harsich defeated Andy Swan eon in Kriday'H play In the state pocket billiard tourney at the Holmes Recreation room. The score was 12T. to 93. llarech led Swanson all ^he way, making several runs! over 10. Swanson scratched many times and miscued in critical places. Swanson had the high run of the match, which ■was 21. Harsch's high run was Ifi. Stephens and Lyons will clash Mon day night In the final game of the tourney. Stephens is leading the field thus far with six wins and no defeats. Harsch Is second to Stephens, having lost but one game, if Lyons suc ceeds in taking a fall out of Stephens, a tie will result.

Six months ago Tunney relinquished the title tr. Greb and tonight's fight was one of those rare instances in fis*'Chna where a boxer comes back to reclaim his lost laurels. It was an interesting contest, but there was little or no science dis played by either^of the principals. There were times when the two men fought as a brace of longshoremen might. The decision In Tunney's favor was not a popular one. Most of the fans seemed to he of the opinion that a draw would have been more equit able. For the first dozen rounds it was j all Tunney. But then the fast step- ' ping Pittsburger struck his stride , and pitched into the yojng Irishman with a fury that at times fairly car ried Tunney off his feet. Then. later on when GrcU appeared to have : drawn up even terms with the cx i hnmpion, lie was accused of hutting and fouling. The referee cautioned him'several times in the I2th round and for a moment it seemed the i referee was about to disqualify Greb. But whether Greb was guilty of foul work will always remain a question. It appeared to many that it was only in his eagerness to win that he punch ed front every angle and that only his rushing tactics made some of his blows appear not quite fair. Tunney worked for the most part on Greb's body to stave off his rushes. The last few rounds were furiously | flught, with all caution cast to the winds, and the honors about even. 1 Unquestionably the judges counted off some points Greb had earned on account of ills alleged fouling, or near fouling. Two Intercollegiate Tank R ecords Broken New Haven, Conn .

The plan calls for a competi tion Similar to the Tom Morris cup events which used to be held for all the golf clubs in the country. Club teams played over their own courses and calculated their scores against par. Fouls Cost Blue and White ~ Cage Victory Milwaukee, Wis , Feb. .4.—Creigh ton university s cage five lost the final game of their series to Mar quette university by the score of 7 to 6, Friday night. Before a crowd yf more than 3.00U tans, who, young and old, stood nervously on tiptoe and - cheered both teams until the build- ' ing fairly rocked, the Blue and White and Blue and Gold cagers fought one of the most sensational battles ever witnessed by the Hilltop followers, unsurpassed even by the Marquetters close win of 9 to 8 over the Univer sity of Wisconsin earlier in the sea son. With lioth teams displaying the unison and precision attributed to university teams of high caliber, not an outstanding star was to be found on either side, with the credit side of the ledger being heavier only for those who managed to get what few points either aggregation was able to gather In. The nr«t hair ended " to o an ravor of Marquette. Imth points having been scored by free throws allowed after a personal foul. Mahoney, star i Creighton forward, electrified the stands With a shot from midfloor two* minutes after the start of the second half, tying the score and starting a driving offensive play by both teams trying to take the lead. Uuford fol lowed soon after for the first and only field goal scored by the Hiiltoppers In the entire game, putting Marquette :n the lead, from which they were never headed.
