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.

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.

Frank miraskv cotton topped
outfielder who will play with
the Knights of Columbus team
this season, doesn't like to play semi
pro ball, that is, he doesn't like to
play with local teams that journey
out into the sticks on' Sundays to
play the home guards.
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.

Morrie Schlaifer Ranked Fourth
Among Logical Contenders for
Walkers Crown by N. Y. Commission
0RR1E 8CHL.AIF
ER received more
praise for his fis
tic ability this
morning when an |
a n n o u n c einent j
came out of New |
York that he wan'
among the first'
four scrappers of
the country con
sidered as logical
contenders for the
1-1 championship title
_ now hanging from
the brow of Mickey Walker.
Wilbur Wood, one of the leading
fight critics of the country, sub
mitted a list of 17 contenders to
the New York commission, asking
them to rate the men, nuking the
welterweight they regarded as the
most formidable the "100 per cent
man" and scaling the others ac
cordingly.
Hehlaifer was rated fourth, Leon
ard, Bliade ami Malone being ranked
higher than the Omaha welterweight.
Of the three rated higher than
Schlaifer, Champion Benny Leonard
lightweight, is about the only one
among the trio named who could
make the welterweight limit of 147
pounds. I .collat'd has said that he In
tends to make a bid for the Walker
crown this summer. There is con
siderable doubt whether Shade or
Malone can train down. Shade bus al
ready fought as a middleweight.
Champion Walker, when he lias
reinstated by the' New York com
mission, agreed to select an op
ponent for a titular bout from the
logieal contenders named by the
commission.

were rated by the three judges ap
