DAPP H n wort Coach John Adkins has spent the better part of this week sharpening the tines of a five pronged attack he hopes will send the dope bucket clattering when his Blue Devils Friday night tangle with fourth-ranked class AA Lincoln Northeast. The teams are scheduled to tangle in Northeast's gym -with the varsity clash set for 8 p. m. Reserves teams of both schools will meet in a 6:30 p. m. pre liminary. There is no doubt Northeast represents the toughest compe tition for Plattsmouth this year. The Lincoln club currently rides in fourth place in the rankings of a metropolitan newspaper and the locals also will be stepping Eagle Cracks Avoca 62-41, In County Loop AVOCA Eagle's potent bas keteers kept their Cass County Conference unblemished Friday night as they waltzed to a 52 42 decision over homestanding Avoca. The issue was never in doubt as Eagle climbed all over Avoca for an 18-11 first quarter margin and then stretched it to 33-15 at halftime. The win boosts Eagle to four m county loop play. And it was ine second quarter, with Eagle's sharpshooters bombarding the nets from all angles which put the win on ice. Larry Walberg led the Eagle scoring parade with 19 points but he received adequate help from Duane Umland with 12, Gene Rodaway who canned 11, La Vane Johnson with 10, and Arnold Schroder who hit for 9 points. Avoca's Caroll Carsten tied for evening scoring honors by sinking 19 points backed by Gay Bose who found the range for 15 points. Eagle kept the pressure on during the third period outscor ing Avoca 12-9, but coasted in the fourth frame as the home towners chunked in 17 points to 12 for the winners. The Eagle reserves also stretched their record in confer ence play to 4-0 as they downpd Avoca, 41-21. Bill Mack count ed 11 and Ron Reynoldson 10 for the Eagles as Paul Fritsch topped Avoca with 8.

L 1 Service have to play its best game of the season by far if it hopes to sneak through with a vic tory. Northeast boasts a sterling 6-5 center in Jan Wall, and a couple of other starters go by the 6-2 mark. But in sports eventually there turns up a David for any Go liath and the Devils, seeking to avange and atone for a sorry showing against Omaha West side in the recent Ak-Sar-Ben tourney might possibly be hep ped enough to sling the stone that conquers Northeast. The locals currently are work ing on a 7-3 season mark and Adkins indicated he would go along with his usual starting Snyder Gives Nehawka Glub 49-47 Victory NEHAWKA Nehawka 's Ted Snyder Friday night calmly toed the free throw line with four seconds to play and bucketed two charity tosses to give his team a narrow 49-47 victory over Alvo! Snyder's winning tosses gave him an evening total of 19 points good enough for high scoring honors in a game which found the clubs battling on even terms throughout the conflict. Alvo roared into a 14-9 first quarter margin but Nehawka bounced back to fighfc the in vaders to a standoff as each counted 11 points. Alvo held a 25-20 lead at intermission. Nehawka, with Snyder pacing the attack and Mead dunking 16 points, found the range in, period three and surged to a 36 35 advantage at the end of three periods. With but four seconds remain ing on the clock, Alvo and Ne hawka found themselves all tied up at 47-all when Snyder stepped into the free throw circle. For Nehawka it was the fourth win against six defeats as the club racked up 18 field goals and 13 of 27 free throws against 16 field goals and 15 of 26 char ity tosses by Alvo. Gilmore sparked Alvo with 13 points and B. Roelofsz added another 10. Eagle Basket Barrage Tips Dunbar, 67-44 EAGLE Eagle, rambling a long in high gear Saturday night, poured a basket barrage at visit ing Dunbar to submerge the guest club, 67-44. Coach Doyle Gump used his regulars only in the . first three periods and even then the line up was liberally sprinkled with reserves. The sharpeyed Eagles, with Larry Walberg zeroing in 19 points, charged to a 10-4 first quarter spread and then rambl ed to a 29-14 halftime gap. Clicking smoothly, Eagle had its best period in the third, when it rapped the strings for 22 points while limiting Dunbar to eedeinhnts tfhotehru and 13, et period as Dunbar hit 17 points to Eagle's 16. The Cass County quintet, bv virture of the victory, pushed its record to eight wins against three defeats and the club fired 23 field goals and 11 charity tosses into the score book. Dun bar, meanwhile, hit on 17 field ers and 10 free throws. Steve Parker with 11 and H. Guenther with 10, and E. Klaas meyer and T. Sewell with 9 each, spearheaded Dunbar's los ing effort. Eagle will go back into Cass County Conference competition Friday night in a game with Greenwood.

The re cent Ak-Sar-Ben shellacking handed Plattsmouth by Omaha Westside is a perfect example. Coach John Adkins shaky Devils allowed (or perhaps it should read 'graciously permitted') Omaha's Westside Warriors the privilege of scoring 21 points in the first quarter. Plattsmouth could manage but two and it wasn't because they weren't getting the shots. They were. But simply hitting the backboard, or rimming the bucket, doesn't pay off on the scoreboard (where it counts) and the lead Westside forged in period No. 1 proved sufficient for victory. In the final three periods the Blue Devils showed to advantage and fought the Westsiders to a stand still. And many an observer left the gym that night feeling the best team, because of a case of "stage fright" had dropped the nod. Yes, the Devils' performance tomorrow night will go a long way in determining their play the balance of the season. A top-flight effort in the capital city could give Adkins' crew the impetus necessary to send it flying to the Twin Rivers Conference crown. Two wins will do it, and only one victory is necessary for a tie. O Short' ceremonies were held Friday night following the championship hassle between Westside and Wahoo highlighted by presentation of trophies to the three top teams. Janet Campbell presented the championship emblem to Omaha, while Sharon Harbaugh presented runnerup VV ahoo its trophy. Nancy Lancaster gave the third place trophy to Plattsmouth with Larry Long accepting on behalf of the team. U , vn, O Doyle Gump coached Eagle seems to be having pretty much its own way as far as play in the Cass County Conference is concerned. The club has powered to four straight league wins against county opposition. Pacing the club is ace marksman Larry Walberg, who consistently hits in the double scoring figures. But he gets plenty of help from such guys as Ronnie Reynoldson, Duane Umland, Ronnie Johnson, Gene Kodaway and La Vane Johnson. All told, Eagle has won piVhf cromnc oit.w i defeats. And if memory serves, two of those losses were dealt out by undefeated Otoe, a small school powerhouse.
