Conis will end his grid activity with the Blue Devils after the Bellevue game, a week from Friday. Platters Still Have Chance for League Crown A combination of a Platts mouth win and a Wahoo loss this week would enable Coach Merle Stewart's Plattsmouth Blue Devils to share East Ne braska Eight grid conference laurels. By knocking off loop leading Blair this week, plus a win over Bellevue the following week, while Wahoo drops its remain ing conference game, the Blue Devils could share the crown. Prospects aren't too bright, however. In the first rjlace. Coach I Stewart's crew will find it tough i sledding against the highly rated Blair eleven and Wahoo has already waded through its toughest conference opponents. Currently Blair rides atop league standings with five wins without a loss. Wahoon has se cond place with 4 wins and a loss and Plattsmouth has a 3-1 record. They are the only three teams in the running for East Nebraska Eight loop honors. Blair will rate the nod over the Blue Devils Friday night on their home field, but will find that an aggressive Plattsmouth eleven will be out to lift the crown, if passible. The heavy Blair line looks like the differ ence in the two units.

This important advice was made by Paul T. Gilbert. Executive Secretary of the Game Commis sion, to Nebraska's many hunt ers who are presently doins bat tle with the ring-necked pheas ant. Gilbert issued the warning in view of the extreme dryness which prevails in the state where hunters are coughing with dust from one corner of Nebras ka to the other. Corn and weeds are very inflammable because of their dry condition and will necessitate little carelessness on t behalf of hunters to break out in flames. Hunters are requested and urged to take every precaution to guard against possible fires. They are asked not to smoke In the fields but instead in their cars where they can safely "put out' the cigarettes. And while driving to and from dif fcrtnt hunting areas, don't toss the cigarette out the window. rul it out in the ash tray. Tom Conis Gibson, Stacey Pace Weeping Water Victory Rick Gibson and Jim Stacey paced Weeping Water to its fifth straight win Tuesday at the In dians rolled over St. Joe of Omaha 20-13. It was a non conference clash for the Inlians. Gibson scored the first In dian touchdown on a 27-yard sweep around end and plunged for the extra point to overcome a 6-0 deficit and give the In dians a 7-6 margin. Roger Luhring made it 13-6 as he plunged over from the two after Stacey had set up the score with a 30-yard run. Gib son again plunged for the extra point. After a penalty gave St. Joe the ball on the Weeping Water one, the Omahans cut the mar gin to 14-13, but Stacey connect ed on a 43-yard pass to Gibson and the Indians were in front 20-13. Weening Water meets Hum boldt Friday night in a South east Five conference clash. Win for Orioles Means Crown; No. 2 Spot First and second place in the Cass county conference will be determined this week as four of the five teams go against con ference foes. Loop leader Alvo will meet Nehawka in the deciding game of the campaign for the Orioles. Undefeated in three conference clashes. Coach Ollie Mayfield's crew can cinch its third straight crown by downing the Nehawka sextette. But the feature game of the ! week will involve the fieht for the number two spot. Elmwood and Eagle, both victims of the high-flying Orioles, will tangle Friday in what should be the ! closest game in conference play this season. Both teams boast good records and high scoring grid aggrega tions. A high scoring contest is predicted in the Elmwood-Eagle clash. Union has completed confer ence play and is entrenched in the cellar with four lasses.

Nebraska's unique sand hills ! ! has provided some of the best j waterfowl hunting experienced i to date. Hunting there has sub ! sided, however, as many native ! ducks have been bagged and ! others have departed, j Throughout most of the state. I only scattering of ducks have ! been reported. Pheasant hunt j ing. too. has been impaired by : the weatherman who refuses to permit rain in the area. Most oi the state is m a "miserably dry" condition, not onlv abut ting pheasants in hearing "the aoproach of hunters and almost choking sportsmen with dust, but also reducing the efficiency of dogs. Cover continues to be ex tremely heavy, presenting the Dopular ring-necks with maxi mum protection. Pheasant hunting has also been hampered bv corn picking activities which have been ouite extensive.

Line Battle Loop Crown Probably the most compre- hensive week of grid activity staged by the Blue Devils this year ended this afternoon with the Devils apparently primed for the big conference test of the season. It'll be Plattsmouth at Blair for the East Nebraska Eight Conference go Friday night. Already many steadfast Plattsmouth fans are prepared for the northern trip, which will see their favorites take the field against the highly rated Blair eleven. Fans are recalling games of the past two years as they ! await opening kick-off Friday ; night. j Up on the hill, Coach Merle i Stewart has been drilling his charges to stop a highly potent ' Blair offensive, and at the same I time to muster an effective i aerial and ground attack which ! could dumo the conference lead- ers out ji first place. It'll re quire 4s full minutes of hard, heads-up football to bring home the bacon. Blair, undefeated in confer ence play, is rated among the top ten Class B schools in the state, according to latest state wide ratings and will be the fa vorite Friday night. That makes it an even more important game for the Blue Devils. Two big strong lines are ex pected to battle each other in the Friday night contest. Blair boasts one of the strongest lines in state play and has held op ponents to comparatively small ground gains during the sea son's activity. The Plattsmouth line, also has kept opponent's ground game to a minimum. As a result, both teams will rely heavily on aerial games, pre-game indications point out. Tom Conis is the key to the Plattsmouth aerial game, but will need the help of a few sticky-fingered ends and backs to make it click. If it clicks, the Plattsmouth aerial game will be hard to stop.
