I VS Largest Entry List Ready to Open Tourney Thirly*Two Teams Fighting for Honors in ]6 Classes ' Will End Meet Saturday. I.ineotri, March 6.—The 14th annual Nebraska State High School Basket Ball tournament—the red letter classic ot prep school basket ball In Hu.ker land—will make Its 1924 bow before more than 25U players and thousands of fans on nine cage courts here at 1 this afternoon. An entry list of 250 teams, the larg est ever In the history of the tourna ment, has brought the 1924 tourna ment up to Vhere it is the largest in the world. Members of the University of Ne braska "N” club will act as assist ants to the university in handling the tourney. Exper referees have been selected to '‘work" the contests. I.incotn is all “het” up over the cage meet. Hotels are crowded and nil conversation hinges on the com ing games. According to H. T>. Gish, manager of the tournament, fewer protests over pairing ami classifications have ap peared this year than last. Omaha Tech, champions for the last two seasons, will open the class A group against Grand Island. The Bookkeepers have not made a very impressive record this year, but are favored to win over the Islanders. Ernie Hubka's York tossers will have a battle on their hands if the Geneva crew displays the stuff it did against Lincoln High last month. York looks the best on paper, but no body has yet picked a winner by comparative scores. Plattsmouth, a class B team in the 3923 fete, was advanced to the more select group this season and will tackle ‘‘Dick" Newman's Hastings quint In the first round. It Krecji, star Plattsmouth center, is in suit, Coach Rothart's pupils should have the best of the argument. Creighton Prep, picked by the dope atera as favorites to cop this year's meet, are slated to exchange greetings with Valentine High, northwest cham pions and winners of the class C di vision In 1923. The young Blue jay a have an im pressive record, having defeated Lin coln, Plattsmouth, Omaha Central, Tech and South. The Drennan five holds the Omaha city championship and, with Coffey and Moylan running through true to form, should make the westerners step to win. Norfolk should put Coach Hare’s University Place tossers out in the opening round, but what a team should do has no effect on the score sheet. The Norfolk cagers trounced the suburbanites. 33 to 7, early In February and also have wins over Fremont, Columbus and Albion. The Madison county lads trimmed Scrib ner, 30 to 18. for the championship of northeast Nebraska at Wayne two weeks ago. . Chappell, Chadron tourney winnera, and Coach Hlll'a Omaha Central five should provide plenty of entertainment for high school cage fans. Central haa had a fair season, defeating Lin coln, Fremont and Nebraska City, but will run into a husky bunch in the tdurney opener. Fremont, with wins over Creighton Prep and Central, looks good to win over South Omaha. The Packer team wai wrecked after the first school se mester, but recovered and gat e Tech the ahort end of the count last week. Coe uh Browne's Lincoln High toss era were an early season sensation until they hit the trail to the me tropolis, when both Tech and Central walked off the Tech gym witfi wins. Sidney lost to Chappell, 8 to 7, for the » Chadron championship last month. Lincoln should win. All the class A quinta are in tiptop shape for the meet, according to reports coming from out in the state. Most of the schools rounded out their schedules last week and are rarin' to go. f---N Today’s Tourney Games at Lincoln _—-/ " CLASS A. Coliseum. Omaha Tech against Grand Island, 2 u m.

H ?yo ■ rixloiS I nL FELT, JR., just appointed one of the deputy game ward ens of the state, declares that some of his hunting friends have the longest memories to be found lit all the world and that he has found there is one thing It never pays to do while on a hunting trip. That is: NEVER GO TO SLEEP IN THE BLIND. Al was in a blind on the* Platte river and it being a fairly warm day and ho a bit tired, proceeded to drowse off and dream of thousands of ducks. Friends noticed about seven flocks swing over Al, circle and then go away. They wondered why Al wasn't shooting, so two of them investigated. They found Al curled up in the bot tom of the blind snoring to beat the cars. "We could hear him snoring when we were 40 yards from the blind,” report the hunters, "and just as we got to the tow-head, a flock of teal swung over. Al snorpd. The teal circled. Al snored again. The leal dipped, flared and were away. Then we woke up Al. For over two hours he had been snoring and calling in ducks, only to have them flare away when they got over tile decoys which were laying on their sides in the water.” Al i^ now known among his pals ss the only hunter in Nebraska who can snore in the same key as the call of a hen mallard. Ask hint to do it for you some time. He's very obliging and in nine cases out of 10 will pay no more attention to it than a ner vous bull would to a red flag. t °iT>n0a Hlgtl **sin*t Fairmont. i:20 Clark* against Elwoorl. 9:20 a. m Spancar against Stalla, 9;4H a. m’ Snanton against Jlralnaril, 10:40 a m Jlaaver Crossing against Waverly. 11 •. m. • CLASS H.

Frank’s big reason is that the situill towns dou't give the rit.v fel low a square deal and tills little talc that Frank relates substanti ates his argument. Not many years ago he journeyed hy auto to a small town about 70 miles on the other side of tlie big Muddy. After a trip, which was delayed by many minor accidents, lie arrived at his destination. The town where he was to play had won 14 straight games and they had guaranteed Frank's team $75 with the privilege of 60 and 40 per cent of the gate receipts. The hour of the game found several thousand people at the game, half of the crowd being in the grandstand, for which they were charged 'an extra admis sion fee. , After a nine-inning session in the hot sun Mira.sk> ’s team rauie out on (lie long end of a 17 to 6 score. When checking ii|i time came the munagor of the home team gave us $75, says Frank, which they had guaranteed. The visiting manager let out an awful holler upon re reiving this and questioned the leader of the home team as to why «he had not rereived the 60 per rent end of the gate receipts. • The home boys then explained that the grandstand belonged to the busi ness men and they had not paid for its construction, and until it was paid for they could not allow anyone to share in the money derived therefrom. "That's just one of the many things that city teams run up against," says Fcank. "We learned later that this town had been using that same 'stall' for five years previous.
