In the lower division, Belle vue plays Underwood and Wa hoo meets Blair. Winners of the two contests will also play Thursday. Underwood has been admitted into the conference for next year. Plattsmouth rates a good chance of taking the conference tourney this year. The Blue Devils already hold a win over CoSege View, their first foe. Should Valley stop Ashland, a doubtful possibility, the Blue Spurts Enable Louisville To Stop Nehawka Coach Darrell Brandenburg's Louisville Lions capitalized on first and third period spurts to hand Nehawka a 45-40 Cass county conference loss Friday night. Playing at home, the Lions roared into an early lead and were never threatened until the final quarter.

A year ago in the conference tourney, Plattsmouth opened with a win over College View but bowed to a strong Wahoo quintet. The verdict might well be reversed this year. In Stanley Cole, Plattsmouth probably has the greatest po tential scorer in the conference, although he stands only 5 feet 7 inches. The sandy-haired sen ior currently owns a 21 -point per game average in seven tilts. After splitting their first four games, the Blue Devils have engineered a three game win ning streak climaxed this past week with a win over Pawnee City. Although lacking height, Coach Merle Stewart's quintet has built up an impressive rec ord as a result of excellent ball handling, speed, and spirit. Forced to overcome height ad vantage in every game, Platts mouth has developed the play of champions and should rate an even chance of copping the conference crown. Underwood Will Test Plattsmouth Quintet Monday Plattsmouth will take a look at a future conference opponent Monday night, when the Blue Devils play host to Underwood of Omaha. The Omaha school has been admitted to the East Seven Nebraska Conference and will begin conference play next year. The game will provide Platts mouth with a tune-up for the conference tourney slated to get underway Wednesday. Under wood will also compete in the tourney. The Omaha school was given the full conference treatment Tuesday night by Bellevue. Added after the schedule was already completed, the Under wood clash will be played on the local court Monday night. Probable starters will be Stanley Cole and Bob Wondra at for wards, Howard Eaton at center, and Cliff Kennell and Tom Conis at guards. The varsity game will start at eight o'clock. Donnie Kay Sheard, son of Donald Sheard had his first hair cut Wednesday. He is a great grandson cf Mrs. Jane Sheard of Union.
