f Plattsmouth's Blue Devils to day were girding themselves for Friday night's grinding clash with highly touted, high rated Class A Crete after humbling Class AA Beatrice, 62-51, in Twin Rivers Conference play. The Blue Devils sacked the 2-A school Tuesday evening in the high school gym with center Bob Beverage's 22 points leading the way for win No. 4 against 2 defeats. Unerring accuracy at the free throw line paid off for Coach John Adkins crew as they hit 23 of 41 charity attempts al though outshot from the floor. Invading Beatrice hit a slim 13 of 30 tries. Although Beatrice jumped in to an early first quarter lead Plattsmouth managed to over- I haul the visitors and held a 15- 14 advantage at quarter's end. With Beverage, Ken Dasher, who scored 14 points, and Tom Winscot with 12 points, spank ing the strings, Plattsmouth pull ed out to a 32-23 margin at in termission. Several times during the game Beatrice on scoring flur ries which threatened to over take the Blue Devils and Bea trice closed to within two points 45-43, at the end of the third period. However, the Devils were able to break away in the final frame for a five-point differential and then stuck the roundball into deep freeze. With the stall, Beatrice had to come out splitting their de fenses', and Plattsmouth cagers were able to hit several neat, under-the-basket . cripples, for points. Bob Beuttgenback spiced the Beatrice scoring drive with 13 points for team high scoring laurels as Beatrice racked up 19 field goals to 17 for Platts mouth. In Crete, Plattsmouth probably will be meeting its toughest op ponent in play to date. For Crete is rated in the state's top 10 of class A cage aggregations. But a victory over Crete would put Adkins men in a very neat position as far as title chances are concerned. Currently, Crete and Platts mouth are leading the Twin Riv ers flag chase with two victor ies each against no defeats. If Plattsmouth were to dump Crete tomorrow night, the club would need only one win over either Nebraska City or Falls City, to gain a tie for the bunting. Tipoff time for the feature varsity game is set for 8 p. m. in the high school gym. Otoe Trounces Nehawka On Home Court NEHAWKA Rambunctious O toe put the "kibosh" on Ne hawka Friday night by troun cing the home club, 90-42.

PLATTSMOUTH, NEBR PHONE 3254 Plan Highway Improvement For This Year For the coming year of 1957 there are a large number of important road surfacing pro mts planned and in which Cass County will have an lmportam part. Highway No. 50, running north and south through the county is scheduled to be given a resur facing from its junction which highway No. 1 west from Mur ray. Another of the roads plan ned for improvement is that of No. 66 between Plattsmouth and Louisville, one of the heavy traveled roads of the county. It is hoped to have these roads completed and in service by the end of the year. One of the provisions of the highway act is that public hear ing be held if desired and in terested parties given an oppor tunity of presenting their views. If no hearings are asked the highway department will go a head and notify the commission er of public roads. ' Bill For County Officials Travel Allowance Amended A bill to equalize mileage al lowances for county officials was amended yesterday at a public hearing at the state capi tol. L. B. 32 called for the county boards, to pay up to seven cents a mile to county officials trav eling on county business. Amendment tacked on the bill at yesterday's public hearing would leave sheriff's mileage at its present 10 cents per mile. Fifty-one of Nebraska's M2 sheriffs were on hand and gave testimony at the hearing. The bill now will be presented the legislature for action. THE PLATTSMOUTH JOURNAL PAGE SIX Thursday, January 17, 1957 Bill Seeks To Revive Dove Hunting Mourning doves that have for the past four years fluttered over the state freed from the danger of extermination, again face a battle against extermin ation, a measure being prepared for introduction in the legisla ture to legalize shooting of the doves. . Sen. Stan Portsche of Lincoln said Monday the dove would be placed back on the list of hunt able game birds by the legisla tion. It was taken off in 1953 after a much-lobbied bill to take it off the game books was success fully passed in the Legislature. Attempts to have the birds, which migrate south in the win ter, put back on the shooting list by the last Legislature never got out of committee. Sen. Portsche said Monday he decided to back the present move after several people in his district requested him to do so. He has had only one protest a gainst putting the birds back on the game bird lists. Nebraska sportsmen have voic ed general opposition to keep ing the doves off - the shooting lists, pointing out as they did during the hearings in 1955 that surrounding states are shooting Nebraska birds when they mi grate out of the state. Backers of the no-shoot theory on the doves have cited. its use for target practice, its use as a symbol of peace, and the fact its a poor defenseless bird. Before the Agriculture Com mittee of the 1955 Legislature killed the bill, 6-2, the State Game Commission backed the shoot-the-doves bill. At that time, the Commission said it would be "just and fair" to accord Nebraska hunters "the permitted in many of the other states when populations permit." Farmer opposition to the shoot the-doves bill in 1955 was based on the contention that irrespon sible persons would use them ; for. .target practice or shoot them! merely for amusement, endang ering livestock and damaging power and telephone lines.

Journal Want Ads Pay In states where deer hunting is permitted a 30 to 40 per cent kill for number of licenses issued is considered good; and where the kill reaches 50 per cent well, that's a phenomenal attainment. But Nebraska can shrug off any of those percentages as poor performances, for the state, during the 1956 deer hunting season, recorded a whopping 80.38 per cent not including deer killed by archery or shotgun- The State Game, Forestation and Parks Commission, . through its genial "man about the state" public rela tions officer, Robert L. (Bob) Munger, recently disclosed the figures. Needless to say, Bob frankly contends it is without doubt the greatest percentage ratio any deer hunting area of considerable size in the world. He ' proves it by comparison : Missouri, where the average kill ration runs about 18 to 29 per cent. Getting down to some facts and figures quoted by Munger, grand total of all deer killed was 6,538 with 8,437 permits issued. The total not including archery was 6510 deer killed to 8,162 permits; total of rifle only killed was 6,400 to 7,962 permits. Bob says the percentage of kill he speaks of more correctly should be labeled a ration of hunter success. For he says there seems little doubt some hunters ob taining permits wTere unable to hit the trail for deer. In light of that, Nebraska figures and percentages become even more amazing. Hottest hunting areas in the state proved to be the Pine Ridge vicinity (Chadron, Crawford, Harrison, etc.) where 3,034 deer were taken to 3,569 permits issued for "an 85.01 percentile. The Upper Platte area (Bridgeport, Gering, Kim ball), 2,043 deer to 2,499 permits for 81.75 per cent. The Sandhills area (Ainsworth, Bassett), 940 deer to 1,196 permits, 80.52 per cent. Poorest area in the state was the Upper Missouri (Center, Hartington, O'Neill) where 181 deer were bag ged on 498 permits for 36.35 per cent. The Halsey area, however, rates as the hottest territory for hunter success in Nebraska. There 179 deer were taken on 200 permits. Hunter success with the bow and arrow reached 10.18 per cent with 28 deer taken on 275 permits- In cidently, one of those was nailed in Cass County. But the figures show one thing: Nebraska deer hunters don't have to go to the so called big game states of Colorado and Wyoming to down their buck. Southeast Conference Future Seems In Doubt Reports circulating following the!i recent southeast confer ence indicate that Pawnee City and Nebraska City may not play football in the 1957 season states the Auburn Press-Tribune. "What effect this will have on the conference staying to gether was not disclosed, how ever, it is unlikely either team would by able to win confer ence honors. During the past few seasons, this same question has come up, however each time it has been straightened out, and teams have played each other. This year it is reported both teams have refused to play the other. "In lieu of this happening. Auburn joined the Ak-Sar-Ben conference three years ago, still remaining in the southeast conference. "Unofficial reports are that if this conference does dissolve, another one is in the making. Who, what and when has not been disclosed." Thiessen Farm Sale Reported One Of Season's Best One of the largest and most successful farm sales of the season was conducted Jan. 14, at the Robert J. Thiessen farm near Murdock. Rex Young, auctioneer of Young and Lacy, said buyers turned out for the sale from Missouri, Iowa and South Da kota and that everything was sold at "good prices." Young said one individual bought the entire 600 chickens offered for sale by Thiessen. Bills and advertisements an nouncing the sale were printed and published by the Platts mouth Journal.
