A strong second quarter, gun - ! ned by high scorer Dick Bever age and Tom Conis. boosted the ! Devils into a halftime lead of 28-14 that was too much tor tne Iowans to overcome.

But Beverage, who registered 20 points for individual scoring j honors, and Conis combined m the second period to shoot Plat tsmouth into the lead. Beverage hit 9 of his 20 points in the first half while Conis came through with ten points during the first two quarters. Glenwood closed the gap to 33-24 after three periods but a Plattsmouth rally in the final period with Beverage connecting moved the Devils well into the lead. It was the opener for Plattsmouth while Glenwood had played four previous con- tests Control of the board along with the sharpshooting of Conis and Beverage' marked the dif- ference in the two teams. Bev - erage teamed with Jon Schuetz and Jim Jacques to control the boards. Hittine 36 Der cent of their shots, the Blue Devils dem- onstrated good ball handling and control and fired at the basket only after working it well under the hoop.

Elmwood's Dudley Doebele led a good Elmwood team to a 7-1 record, losing only to Alvo. A good passer and fine runner, Doebele paced the Pirates of- i fensively throughout the cam- paign. His running mate Keith Drake was one of the standout defen sive backs in the conference. A good passer and runner, Drake was a hard tackier and good blocker as well. Only Union failed to place a man on the mythical all-confer-ence selection list. Greenwood Halts Murdock Rally For 44-40 Win Staving off a fourth period rally by Murdock enabled Coach Abe Dick's Greenwood crew to capture its second consecutive . o f pla 4441 It I .. . the third loss without a win for Murdock. Greenood rolled into an early lead ith J. Thomsen and Billy Schuelke setting a fast pace and as never headed. Coach Dick's crew held a 13-7 first period lead that swelled to 30-14 at half time. After the intermission, Coach Buzz Gakemeier's crew started to move. With Albert Thiel lead ing the parade, Murdock closed the gap to 41-29 after three per iods and then shut Greenwood off with only three free tosses the last period, while registering 11. The difference came from the free toss line where Greenwood connected on 18 of 36 attempts while Murdock came through on 14 of 28. Both had identical free throw percentages, but Green wood took more shots. Both also scored 13 field goals. Murdock's Thiel and Green wood's J. Thomsen battled for scoring honors with Thomsen getting the edge 19-18. Schuelke ended up with 10 for Greenwood while Ronald Peters had 11 for Murdock. Others entering the scoring column 5or Greenwood were Leadabrand. 2: K. Thomsen. 7; and Dick Buckingham, 6. For Murdock. Timm hit 1, Wilken had 2, Oehlerking hit 1 and McDon ald came through with 7. Greenwood will be host to Springfield, winner over Mur dock. on Friday, Dec. 5. while Murdock is not scheduled until Dec. 12, when they play at Avoca. Platters Ready To Defend Crown At Westside Coach Merle Stewart's Blue i Devils will open defense of their lAksarben Conference (East Ne braska Seven) basketball cham- nionship against Omaha West- - , - r , . ference on Friday night. Both the Reserves and varsity are scheduled to see action at the Omaha school gymnasium and will be in quest of their second win of the current cage campaign. Fresh from wins over Glen wood, the Plattsmouth teams will ooen conference activity in the first of three consecutive loop battles. Plattsmouth was undefeated in lop activity a year ago. It was against Westsic.c here last year that Stan Cole regis- tered a record total of 30 points as Plattsmouth roared across the 60-point mark in the game. Coach Merle Stewart will probably start the same five that performed in the opener. That will find Dick Beverage and John Ahrens at forwards: Jim jacques, cemer; anu xuiii ums and Jon Schuetz, guards. Starting Reserve jobs will go probably to Grover Cundall, Eugene Dasher or Denny Ptak. forwards: Byron Finnefrock or Stuart Nielsen, center; John Blotzer and Jim Graves, guards. The following Monday, Dec. 8, Plattsmouth will travel to Valley for another conference clash.
