Are they bound to better their 11-8 basketball record of last year or will they take a plunge.- This answer comes Friday night when they meet Omaha Westside on the Plattsmouth court. Coach John Adkins had a hint of an optimistic tilt to his voice this week, proclaiming that hi.3 oly two remaining lettermen, Denny Hirz and Dan Huebner, are quicker and more agres sive this year and pointing out some finds in the ranks. A scrimmage game at Omaha South Tuesday seemed to raise intensify the optimistic view point. Returning from that scrim mage, in which no score was kept in about 20 minutes of play against South, Coach Adkins said the Blue Devils are farther along in speed passing depart ment that at this same stage last year. Apparent weak point at this stagD was pointed out as dsfense. Westside is likely to be a test ing game of some intensity. They are back with four regu lars this year, plus Pat Fischer, a transfer. Only lost regular for Westside was Wright, now a University of Nebraska fresh man squad member. However, coaches calculate the Omaha team will have a little" height advantage. After the Tuesday afternoon scrimmage Coach Adkins nam ed as probable starters Denny Hirz and Joe Grauf at guards; Bob Beverage, center; Dan Huebner and Ed Egenberger at forwards. In an inter-squad scrimmage game last week first assessment of the squad came for coaches. Hirz, who will probably take over the starting guard sport he had last year, plowed in 10 field goals, most on drives, for 23 points. . Huebner shone mostly at the free throw line with nine from chairity and added four from the field for 17 points. Mike Lewis, scrambling for the center post, dumped in six field ers for 12 points in the scrim mage game. These are the play ers who made their presence felt for the Blues team. On ; the ' other side of the court, Bob Beverage, who claims 6 feet, five inches in height, banged in eight fielders and five from the free throw line for 21 points. He also gathered 15 of 30 rebounds for the Whites.
