Also Comedy and Novelty Blair, in the upper division, looks like a cinch in the finals. They'll meet Westside in the opening round and the winner of the Valley-College View clash in the semi-finals. Opening round of the tourna ment looks like this: Valley vs College View, 3 p.m. Blair vs Westside, 4:45. Plattsmouth vs Ashland. 6:30. Bellevue vs Wahoo, 8:15. Never too successful in tour nament play, Plattsmouth bow ed in the semi-finals last year.

The only bird left behind was Funny Bunny, an unbanded pigeon. Basketball fans saw two en-. tirely different games Tuesday night as Plattsmouth squeezed out a 58-53 win over Auburn in a non-conference tilt here. The two halfs were identical only in that they were the same length, and for Coach Merle Stewart the second half seemed awfully long. Sparked by the out-court sharpshooting of Dick Bever age and the underbasket work of Jim Jacques, Plattsmouth rapidly moved out in what looked like a run-away. The Devils had a 5-0 lead be more Auburn hit and the count ran to 11-1 before the visitors hit again. The Devils led 15-2 at one point and were in front 21-10 after one period. his teammate. John Ahrens ad ded another 13, while Scheutz and Conis each came through with 6 . But scoring honors went to Jim Humphrey of Auburn, whose second half out-court shooting led the Auburn rally which had Plattsmouth fans on edge. He ended up with 21 points, moslV in the second half. Plattsmouths edge came from ' the free throw line where they ! connected on 18 of 33. Auburn : could hit only 13 out of the same number of chances. Both teams : had 20 field goals.

They were all members of the First Bap tist Church. Mrs. Vance Balfour and j daughters called at the home of I Mrs. F. H. Walker and had lunch i with Mrs. A. W. Bedson at Lin coln, Saturday. nad gone to the sidelines on five personal fouls. Two Au burn charges also went to the dressing room via the foul route. Auburn used a zone defense with little success throughout the first half as Beverage and Jacques hit well from out court. Beverage was especially effec tive along the side, while Tom Conis and Jon Schuetz drew the . i defense out with shots from out 1 iront. Plattsmouth completely dominated the boards in that first half. An aggressive man-for-man 1 defensive in the second half ! semed to be the tonic needed by the Nemaha county crew. And it paid off as they overcame the height handicap with fight. Play by the Devils was spotty and ragged during the second half. Beverage nipped Jacques in the scoring race for Plattsmouth hitting 16 points, one more than days later it was stolen from in front of his home. Recovered several days later, it disappear ed again. Levine says if he gets it back this time, he s going to keep it in a garage under lock.
