WHY Isn’t the state high school
basket ball tournament held In
Omaha each year?
The writer has been asked that
question many times since Technical
High of Omaha won the state basket
ball championship in Lincoln early
this month.
This morning the writer received
a letter fhmn one who signed his
letter: “A Basket Ball Fan.” Mr.
"Basket Ball Fan,” who says we
could use his right, name if we
wanted to, but would appreciate
it if we didn’t, asked the same
question: "Why . isn’t the state
tournament held in Omaha in
stead of In Lincoln?"
Tile tournament isn’t held in
Omaha because the business men
and the Chamber of Commerce,
haven't gone after it. That's the
reason the championship games are
not played in this city each year.
We mn see no reason why Omaha
can't, land the tournament. The Oma
ha Chamber of Commerce and busi
ness rnen would have to get out and
do a little boosting, but we have been
told by one who is in a position to
know' that it wouldn’t take much
coaxing on the part of Omaha to land
.‘tie tourney.
In Omaha there are six basket ball
courts, namely, South, Tech, Creigh
ton university, Omaha university,
North High and the Y. M. C. A.
I hat s more basket ball courts than
Lincoln can boast of. If necessary,
i he Omaha auditorium can be used
as a basket ball court.
A Nebraska state nigh school bas
ket ball tournament attracts thous
ands of students, their parents apd
friends. Thousand* pf high school
students, their parents and friends
in Omaha means more business f.«r
Omaha concerns.
Stale tournament basket ball
games in Omaha would attract
more fans than the tourney draws
in Lincoln for the simple reason*
capital my. mere are ttiree news
papers ip Omalia anil two in I.in
roln. This city roulil give (lie
state tourney more publicity than
tlie games receive in IJncoln.
Publicity on sporting events at
tracts tlie fans.
High school teams that compote
in the stale tourney pay their own
expenses to tlie plate of tlie meet.
Tlie money derived from the
tournament games is pro-rated
among tlie competing schools.
This year's tournament was
divided Into districts, IK in all. Tlie
distriet winners and runner-ups
played in l.ineolii in I lie grand
finals. Something like ifft.ROO was
realized from tlie tournament in
I.iiirnlii. Omalia held one of tlie
distriet tourneys. More than
$9,7(MI was taken in at the gate
here. Tlie high school* that com
peted in tlie Omalia distriet
tourney were paid traveling ex
penses. no matter if they came to
Omaha via automobile or railroad.
It stands to reason, that if Omaha
’an take In more than $9,000 at dis
rict tournaments, It would realize
nearly twice that amount if the
date championship games were held
tiers each winter.
This Isn't written to find fault with
Ihe way in which Lincoln holds the
state tournament. Pleas# under
dami that. The writer, however, is
of the opinion that the Nebraska
State High School Athletic associa
tion can benefit ilseif financially,
liso that of each competing school by
bolding the stats championship
fames in Omaha.
Lincoln, and ihose who are In
Favor of holding the tournament in
Lincoln may not approve what this
writer has written. XVe can't help
lhat. TVe have tried to answer sev
“ral letters received from reader* of
The Omaha Bee who have asked:
'Why isn't the state basket ball
on rnanient held in Omaha each
rear?''

Billie Dove Scares
Mate; Takes Air Trip
Billie Dove in the
Paramount Picture
•The Air Mail*
"Take the air." as a slang expres
sion usually means "finis" for the
person so addressed, but with Irvin
Willat, during the filming of his new
Paramount picture, "The Air Mall,”
which opens at the Strand theater
today for a week s engagement, it
meant, “go to work," for a goodly
portion of the production was made
in the clouds. The theme of the pic
ture is the transcontinental air mail
service.
Willat is a stickler for realism.
When the .scenario called for the
memheis of the cast to take the air,
they took It. But. on tits other hand,
the director posted signed orders to
the effect that, tinder no circum
stances. should any member of the
company, other than those stipulated
In the script, go up in a plane. In
stant dismissal would follow the first
infraction of th<v>a orders, the no
tlce stated.
This order was obeyed until one
day Willat. while directing a scene
with Warner Baxter in the mail plane,
saw his wife, Billie Dove, lean from
one of the cockpits, wave her hand
to him and blow him a kiss as the
craft shot into the air. Willat was
so glad to see his wife once again on
terra flrma that he forgot all about
the penalty. Billie is shown above,
all dressed up for her flight.
