The rest of the way it was strictly Alvo. Alvo had closed the gap to" 7-13 after one period and went in front 19-13 at halftime. It was 26-12 at the three quarter mark. Sterling tallied early with Layton covering the lajst five yards and a pass from Weber to Rathe made it 7-0. Minutes later the invaders tallied again on a 25-yard pass from Weber to Schoene. Clark took command at that point and ran 50 yards for the initial Alvo score. Bud Herr mann's pass to Jim Hermance added the extra point. Early in tne second period Clark tossed a 25-yard scoring pass to Herrmann and later in the same period tailed from 14 yards out after he had recovered a Sterling fumble. In the third period Clark in tercepted a Sterling pass and returned it 39 yards for his third touchdown of the afternoon. Herrmann and Hermance again collaborated on the extra point. In the final period before the home town crowd Clark raced 60 yards for one tally and in tercepted a pass and scampered 30 yards for the final marker. Thus the Cass county, co champions knocked off one of the southeast's top sixman teams. The Sterling quintet had earlier been held to a tie by Eagle and DeWitt in an other wise defeatless season. - The win gave Alvo a 6-3 mark for the season as the Orioles earned a share of the loop crown after owning the championship alone for three years. Only los ses were to co-champ Elmwood, Seward Concordia and Leigh. The Alvo sextet thus for the fourth straight year ranked among the top ten teams in the state in its class.

V Don Hutchinson askefball Will Take Sports Spot n Weeks Ahead Basketball will take over the sports scene during the com ing month as Cass county high schools open cage drills now that the grid season has ended or is virtually complete. Except for the Elmwood bowl game tit . Nebraska City next Wednesday, the grid season will come to its closing point this week. Although several cagers have been working out here for the past few weeks, the big switch will come Monday as many high school athletes drop their grid togs for the short pants. Coach Merle Stewart, who will head the cage sport here, will begin regular drills during the coming week with an eye on the December 4 opener. Elsewhere in the county, cage drills are in full swing; Most schools completed grid play, last week and opened basketball play earlier this week. Schools with out the grid sport have been practicing on t the maples for sometime. Greenwood, Avoca and Mur dock are three county schools which do not play football and which have cage drills well un derway. Nehawka, Union and Louisville ended grid play last week while Alvo finished up Wednesday. Weeping Water and Elmwood still have grid games ahead of them. V. Fr.W. Granted Use o! High chool Grid Gear Use of Plattsmouth high school football equipment by the Plattsmouth V.F.W. team was approved by the board of educa tion Monday night, following debate which indicated that board members on the whole are opposed to loaning out the equipment. Vote on the measure passed 5-1 with the board approving use of the equipment if Coaches Gerald Clayburn and Eugene Shields take responsibility for checking in and out equipment, and if the V.F.W. assumes all financial responsibility for loss and destruction if any. The vote followed a rather warm discussion in which the board objected to the manner in which they had been ap proached. They apparently fa vored the club with the equip ment since disapproval would have put the board in a bad light, -game arrangements had depended upon use of the school equipment. Lloyd Fitch, commander of the V.F.W. post, submitted the club's request to the board. He explained that the "community service" project of the V.F.W. is designed to send a Platts mouth athlete to college on a four-year scholarship. Fitch asked that the V.F.W. be authorized to use pads and pants owned by the school for a game here November 14 against a town team from Glenwood. Proceeds from the game would go toward the scholarship. WHAT WAS THAT DATE ? We have a date tamp to fit any of your needs.

Charles Kerns Young Pheasants Outnumber Adults In Hunters' Bags Young pheasants outnumber ed adults in the bag at a ratio of slightly more than three to one during the first week of hunting in Nebraska. This ratio was based on more than one thousand pheasant legs collected by Nebraska con servation officers from hunters in the field. The legs were sent to the Game Commission wild life laboratories in Lincoln for study. Age of pheasants is determin ed by the length of the spur on either leg. Hen pheasants have no spurs. . Exact ratio was 3.4 young to 1 adult which is considerably better than the 2.3 to 1 ratio re ported in the early part of last year's hunt. Under average con ditions, three or more young per adult is considered satisfactory for good hunting.
