Primari ly, reports from these aerial sur veys indicate that Nebraska is host to considerably more ducks than usual at this particular period of the year. The new reservoirs along the Republican river are reflecting their importance in the overall duck picture by the large num ber of ducks wintering upon these impoundments. The Canada goose count tab ulated from this mid-winter census is also high particular ly in the Garden county refuge. Game official explain this Eagle Complete Upset March; Murdoch Victim in Tourney Bill Reese's Golden Eagles did- it again. The underdog Eagle quintet, repeated its six-man football performance by scoring three straight upset victories to cop the 1953-54 Cass County Confer ence Tournament by nipping Murdock 53-52. The Golden Eagles slipped past third seeded Louisville 47 46 to open the tourney, turned back an improved Weeping Wa ter team in the semi-finals and then completed the triple sur prise by edging the Number one ranked Murdock Bulldogs in the tourney finals on the Murdock maples. Joe Ayers, outstanding perfor mer for Reese's quintet and a 1953 all-conference selectee was the hero. He mechanically swished two free throws in the closing seconds to wash out a 51-52 deficit and give the crown to Eagle. The five 'foot 7 inch senior along with six footer DickWey ers were the big guns in the Golden Eagles' triple win. Wey ers hit 19 points against both Weeping Water and Murdock in the semi-finals and finals as Eagle took home the first place trophy. Buzz Gakemeier.s favored Bulldogs earned the second place trophy though bowing to tne semi-imais MuraocK naa avenged a previous loss by trim ming Nehawka 52 to 50 to earn a spot in the finals. Ron Peters was the big show for Murdock throughout the tournament and registered 28 points in the finals. He scored 27 against Nehawka the previous night and boasts a 27 point av- winter increase in population of ducks and geese due primarily ' erage for the three tournament to a comparatively mild winter, games. Here are brief, accounts of the last two nights of play. Eagle 48, Weeping Water 41 Dick Weyers hit 19 points as Eagle came from behind for the second straight time as Weeping Water bowed 48-41 in the semi finals of the county tournament. Darwin Salestrom's Weeping Water Indians exhibited bal anced scoring in racing to a 34 30 haiftime margin, .but they couldn't cope with the strong Eagle defense after the inter mission. . Charles Stacey gunned the In dians with 12 points while Roger Luhring and Barry Piper provid ed strong support. Weyers had help from Joe Ay ers, Lowell Umland and Bert Stubbs as Eagle earned a shot at the crown against Murdock. Murdock 52, Nehawka 50 The Murdock Bulldogs earned titled recognition by tripping a strong Nehawka quintet 52-5Q to avenge a 54-51 season loss to the Indians. The semi-final match of the county tourney was featured by the scoring battle between Ron Peters of Murdock and Ray Mayfield of Nehawka. Peters won the battle 27 to 22. The two pivot men were repeaters from the list of all conference cagers from a year ago and both have averaged in the 20-point per game vicinity. Peters had help from Frank Zoz, Marvin Oehlerking and Du ane Wilkjen as the Bulldogs took a 22-20 haiftime lead and made the margin hold up. Bill Mehrens, Tom Johnson and Jed Snyder helped fire the attack for Ted Schiessler's In dians. Nehawka 42, Weeping Water 32 Twice victorius Weeping Water faded in the final half Friday night as Nehawka copped con solation honors and the third place trophy at the Cass county tournament. Ted Schiessler's Nehawka crew overcome the 21-20 first half deficit and pulled away in the final quarter for a 42-32 wm. Ray Mayfield gunned the Ne hawka quintet and was hish point man with 21 points. He had help from Bill Mehrens and Tom Johnson. Stacey led the Weeping Water attack with 12 points.
