A three-game victory streak will be put on the line by the Devils. The Devils will end drills for the post-holiday opener tonight as they run through a light workout before headin gsouth. Drills this week follow on the footsteps of a series of holiday scrimmages with former cage standouts. Stewart's 1954 crew drubbed an alumni group on two occasions during the holi days. Another scrimmage session with St. Joseph of Omaha Tues day afternoon set the pattern of play for the Devils this week. In practice sessions here this week. Stewart has started four of the pre-Christmas regulars, but has been alternating more frequently at one of the forward spots. That starting quintet had Jim Jacques at center; Lyle Wood and Jon Schuetz, guards; and Denny Ptak at one forward. Eugene Dasher, . Byron Finne frock and Stuart Nielsen alter nated at the other forward. Dasher has been advanced to the first string during the holi day drills and may get the start ing nod Friday night, Finne frock, who was out of town dur ing the holidays, is being pressed to hold his starting berth.

A check of last year's record indicates that almost anything could happen. Pawnee City will have Lowell Johnson to lead their offense. Johnson hit 17 and 20 points in two games against the Devils a year ago. Pawnee City's Knox also hit 11 against Plattsmouth in the tournament last spring when Jim Jacques set a school record of 31 points for the Blue Devils. Plattsmouth will have 25 of its points back against 22 for Paw nee from the regular season game, and will have 42 points against 36 back from the tour ney tilt.

Guest of Program Chairman Paul Fauquet, he explained that the principal objective of the association is "development of land and water resources, in- ro- electric power, irrigation, navi gation, soil conservation and recreation." That development includes everything from on the farm water control to huge dams on main rivers to control floods, such as was experienced along the Missouri river two years ago. He also pointed out the im portance of inland water trans portation, and referred specifi cally to improved barge service which can be expected along the Missouri river during the coming year. Admitting that a certain amount qi politics is involved in the overall program, Smith ex plained that the general pur poses and objectives are to de velop resources, trade and to conserve the soil. The association is a voluntary membership organization ' sup ported entirely by dues with members determining its policies. v f -i . i a ;j''C'sf r V ) - i I I ? - tit $ ; , -ij 4 Mi I I ; - 'A v',sv'rX- ii-- iijfcLli 7 I I ifuftirfWi I ill mmftfM.Miiin- - I I SCHEDULE , THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL I Thursday, January 7, 1954.
