Earlier Gerald Clayburn and Eugene Shields declined to ink contracts for the coming year. Completing his 12th year at Plattsmouth, Stewart directed the successful basketball cam paign during the past year. He had moved up to athletic direc tor at the start of the school year, when coaches were assigned to head coaching jobs for the various sports. ' Stewart came to Plattsmouth in 1942 and headed the athletic department throughout the pe riod except for 1946 when he was in the service. The Plattsmouth coach said the Stewart family will continue to reside at Plattsmouth while he is employed by the sporting goods firm. Stewart oosted his best bas- ' ketball season in 1953-54 when 1 W) 1 IM M UNDE1! CAWVAS i n Miiraiiwi t mi in imiiri imiiii tli ' ifcjja r i tint inniwn i iimiwh r coach, the Devils posted 118 wins and 85 losses. Stewart coached cage teams at Plattsmouth won the Ak-Sar-Ben conference crown four times, 1945, '47, '50 and '52. They were winners of the Ak-Sar-Ben conference cage tournament this year, and also copped the Twin Rivers conference basketball crown in its inaugural year. Only in two seasons did the Devils under Stewart lose more basketball games than they had won. Those were the 1948 and i 1949 campaigns. Looking back over the 12 year year- period, Stewart recalled that the 1952 team was the smallest in span of years, while the 1954 squad ranged the tall est. Jim Jacques was the tallest eager to come under Stewart's tutoring. He hesitated when asked to pick some of the top cagers he had directed during the years but finally listed what he termed "among the better offensive and defensive cagers." Offensive Sterling and Stan ley Cole, Bill McCormick, Jim Alkire, Merle Dasher, John Kim ball and Charles Eaton. Defensive Eugene Vroman, Dale Pike, Dick Livingston, Carl Ofe, Tom Conis, Cliff Ken nell, Jon Schuetz, Lyle Wood, Jim Jacques and Byron Finne frock. At rebounding he picked By ron Finnefrock and Dick Liv ingston on a par, while Denny Ptak and Jacques earned Stew art's nod as the cagers showing the most improvement from one season to the next. Stewart is past president of the Iowa-Nebraska Coaches and Officials Association, and is vice president of the District 2 Ac tivities Association. The board of education will consider a success for Stewart at their monthly meeting tonight. 290-vard dash Won bv Mil lr. Weening Water: second r1- Schliefert. Louisville; third Kraft.

League activity during the coming week will center on Bry ant Motors and Catalytic Con struction Company. The two 1 teams will battle for the num ber three spot. First and second places in final league standings were without question decided last week. Ofe Oil cinched at least a tie for first place, while the V. F. W. can't be dislodged from the number two spot. The Oilmen with a 58-29 mark hold a three game edge over the V. F. W. Should the Oil men lose their final three games and the Veterans win theirs, they could end up in a tie. It appears unlikely however. The Oilmen virtually cinched the first place trophy by sweep ing its series with No. 3 Bryant Motors, while the V. F. W. could j take only twro games in its se- 1 ries with Konat's Bar. While Bryant was losing three I Catalytic climbed into a third j .place tie by sweeping its se- j nes from Eagles Lodge.
