Coach Darrell Brandenburg's Lions, anxious for victory after a .weak start, will be host to the Indians for the first time in years. In past years, the Lions have played their home games at Weeping Water. Defending conference kings, Coach Darwin Salestrom's War riors can boost their conference record to 2-0 by turning back the Lions. Weeping Water stung Table Rock 19-0 in the opener and then bowed to Peru Prep 6-0 last Friday. Louisville dropped a 12-0 op ener to Ralston and traveled to Table Rock last week. Atlantic sea games are sched uled to be held September 16 to October 5. evils seeic in Column Grid Mentor Gerald Clayburn, displeased with the showing of his charges in their 6-0 loss to College View last Friday will send them onto the field in search of win number one in Aksarben Conference play Fri day night against Ashland. The Devils will be seeking their second win of the season in three tries. They opened with an 18-0 rout of Auburn on the home field. Unless they fall down, as they did in the opening half against College View last week, the Dev ils should find that second win. Ashland, however, could be bit ter after two setbacks at the hands of Tecumseh and Te kamah. Clayburn sent his first unit through light workout Monday night since the Reserves were playing at Glenwood. He had 14 top regulars running through signals in the Monday night County Retail Sales Increase Over Year Ago Cass county is one of four Ne braska counties showing a re tail sales increase in July of this year over the same month a year ago, according to the University of Nebraska College of Business Administration. f The county showed a . 15.4 in crease in retail sales over the previous, but a decrease of 3.7 percent over June was noted. Six of the 13 counties consider ed showed increases over June. The report in the September issue of Business in Nebraska points out that Nebraska is fall ing behind the nation as a whole . in the current business prosper ity. Compared with 1948. Ne braska's physical volume is up 19 percent while the U. S. Aver age is up nearly 32 percent. The drop "in farm prices, es pecially in beef cattle, is the fundamental , factor operating against ' the state. Business, however, is riot in the state of decline since Nebraska showed a five per cent increase since last year.

The contest could play a decid ing role in the final conference standings. Undisputed kings the past three years, the Orioles, .tutored by Bob Ihrig, will be seeking conference win number two against the Pirates. It will be the first conference tilt for the Blue and White of Elmwood., Dick Clark, Bud Hermann and a veteran starting sextet will be counted on to carry the Alvo banner.

The Devils also went through brisk wrorkouts Wednes day evening that included a heavy scrimmage. Plattsmouth's grid mentor, after reviewing mistakes in the College View classic, has had the Plattsmouth gridders work ing on their individually weak nesses. He seemed somewhat discouraged over the apparent lack of spirit shown by the Dev ils in recent workouts. Clayburn is expected to go along with a starting unit about the same as drew initial nods in the two previous games. That'll find Byron Finnef rock and Eu gene Dasher at ends; Charles Kerns and Harold Demaree, tackles; Lyle Wood and Don Hutchinson, guards; Elwood Johnson, center; and Denny Ptak, Jim Graves, Don Conyers, Jon Schuetz or Grover Cundall in the backfield. Clayburn probably won't , be sure of that starting backfield until Friday. If Cifndall is ready to go full time at fullback, Jon Schuetz may see some duty from the quarterback slot, or -at one of the halfback positions. The line seems pretty well set. x When You iuyYour m ,- i i String On ? f. , . J-man thriller last Friday p8 a non-conference Ted Schiessler's Nehawka sextet will seek win number three at Bennet. The Indians have close wins over Eagle and Dunbar to their credit, while last week Bennet was dropping Union. Meanwhile, Eagle will seek to return to the victory trail in an ! afternoon clash at Union. Un ion has been stopped twice this season. Bill Reese's Golden Eagles can even their confer ence record with the win at Un ion, as Bob Gaston's Yankees go after their first win. Here's how the Cass County Conference looks at this point: Team W L Alvo 1 0 Nehawka 1 0 Elmwood 0 - 0 Eagle 0 1 Union 0 1 Son Follows Dad's Path At University Locally there seemed little doubt but what Melvin Todd, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Todd, Sr., of Union is following in his father's footsteps. That has been pretty well de termined by the youth's 4-H beef club activities over a per iod of years. But that it should follow him to school at the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture would seem doubtful. A fresh man at the state college.

They'll, get the information from a new 18-foot electric score board erected this week and to be used for the first time Fri day night. The scoreboard was a gift of the Plattsmouth State Bank. The huge scoreboard has been mounted atop the new Ameri can Legion ticket booth at the east entrance to Memorial Ath letic Field. It measures 18 feet across and stands six feet atop the 8x8 ticket building. With arrival of the sign early this week, activity on the two athletic field improvements started humming in order to have the sign and building ready for Friday night's game.

Eugene Shield's crew made one formidable offensive drive early in the first period, ad vancing within the Glenwood 20 for the onlv brieht showing: of the evening. I Taking the opening kickoff, the Junior Devils rolled on the ground and in the air to the 20 when a Denny Hirz pass was intercepted. That marked the signal for the Glenwood offen sive to begin. During the first period they rolled up 19 points against the undermanned Platters. Glen wood added another six points in the second period and fin ished the scoring in the third canto with another 7 points.

(That excludes toilet facilities of course.) The new scoreboard, along with the public address system, should keep even the ladies informed about what's going on. Formal dedication of the Le gion's memorial entrance will be held in a short program during the halftime of the Plattsmouth Ashland game Friday night ac cording to Legion Commander Russell Nielsen.
