South High in Division*“B”—Tournament This Year
Largest in History of State Athletic Associa
tion, ;234 Team Entered—Lincoln and Cen
tral Quintets Appear to Be Best Bet in Main
Class—Capital City Ready to Accommodate
2,500 Basketeers.
March 3.— (Special Telegram.)—Five class
“A” teams were replaced by the State High
School Athletic association’s board of con
trol in arranging the classification ..for the
1923 state tournament, to be held here
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The teams which were removed from class "A"
were tirand Inland, Fremont, South Omaha, Crete and
Clay Center. New teams which take their places are
N'orth Platte, Ravenna, Sidney, York and Sutherland.
The board felt that this year's clans "A" division
was more representative pf the entire state than it has
ever been before.
The drawings were geographically perfect and, in
asmuch as the work of olaesifylng and drawings re
quired but one-half the time it nas re-t
quired In former years, the board
members were predicting the most
successful tournament ever held.
There are 334 teams entered this
' year, which shatters all former rec
ords. Play starts Thursday morning.
Trying to pick a winner in any one
of the first four classes is next to
impossible. Lincoln High still looks ,
good in spite of the defeat Friday |
night by the Central basket shooters, j
The first four classes will be playing
on a neutral floor. The coliseum has
not been used for basket ball games
all winter and was prepared espe
cially for the tournament.
There will be fully 2,500 basket ;
Bhooters from all parts of the state
here during the tournament. This
number of players, making up the 234
teams competing is where the Ne
braska tournament gets Us name— |
. “The greatest in the world."

From Second
“FIAttack
New York, March 3.—Gotham baa's
ball fandom had eyes on Hot Springs.
Ark ,'today, while it listened to the
click of the telegraph wires to tell
how Babe Ruth, the home-run kin-;,
is getting along—even as the attend
ing physician there had his eyes on
the thermometer that gauged the
Bambino's temperature at 104 last
night.
Rut abed with the second attack
influenza has made upon him since be
went to Hot Springs to be boiled out.
the Babe was having a strenuous
time getting into the perfect condi
tion that be desires to enable him to
redeem his popularity that began to
wane last year.
Information from Hot Springs to
day was that the Yankee slugger was
recovering, but it was questionable
whether he would go to New Orleans
when the team logins regular train
imp next week. Carl Mays, the sub
marine twirler of the Yankee*, also
was reported temporarily incapacitated
with Indigestion.

Limit on bag and day's hunt on
prairie chickens rut from 10 to 5.
The argument made against the
bill was that the hunter* from cities
• small town* who must travel
hundreds of miles to reach the game
bird country and can spend only one
or two days there are denied suffi
cient hunting under the bill, while
sportsmen living In the vicinity of tho
nesting places of the birds are not
affected.
Representative Whitehead of Hol
drege, stated today that a number of
hunters from his district had writ
ten to him urging death of the bill.
Sentiment for the game birds and
a belief tha^ they are diminishing was
the chief argument used to Tldvan* a
the bill.
Chief Game Warden Kbster stated
that both chickens and ducks have
been Increasing and not diminishing
in numbers in the last few years.
"The increase is due to forcing dis
continuance of spring shooting end
placing more deputies in the field,"
Koster said.
