That's the way Coach Merle Stewart looked at the coming game with top-ranked Class B Lincoln Teachers, to be played on the University of Nebraska Coliseum floor. Considering the rapid im provement shown by the Reser ves, plus the sudden falling apart of the varsity. Coach Stewart would undoubtedly like to see how the less experienced squad members would fare ag ainst such a strong opponent. Regardless of who starts for the Blue Devils, the Teachers of Lincoln will be Dicked to hnd them, their fifth consecutive loss and sixth of the season against 10 wins. The undefeated Teachers are listed No. 1 in Class B ratings in the state. They'll be at home on the mammoth University floor, too. Plattsmouth, which has com pleted its home schedule has only Lincoln Teachers and Belle vue left before the district tournament at Auburn.
