Defense Is Part Of Basketball, Too, Seasons Results Show The accent In higk school bas ketball In these parts seems to be on defense this year, revers ing a trend of past years In which scores have soared higher and higher. Winning score totals in Cass County, for instance, have been largely in the 40s and 50s so far this season. Plattsmouth High's two teams have been in 10 games and in only two have winning scores been over 50. the varsity vict ories over Tecumsh, 57-29, and over Auburn, 51-44. .'

CASS THEATRE Plattsmouth, Nebr. scoring firewagon type of bas ketball is evidently on the wane. It may be a good thing for bas ketball. The cheap basket, light ly given because a team figured it could easily get it back, re moves a lot of finesse from the game. No one wants to return to the 11-9 game of 20 or 30 years ago but fans probably do want to be able to tell when the shooting practice lets off and the game begins. So far this season, the Platts mouth varsity has averaged 45.4 points a game and given up 38.8 a game. The Reserves have scored 33.8 a game and yielded 33.2. Poor shooting? Not entirely. Coaches are demanding boys be willing to play defense as well as shoo baskets. It's all part of a great game.

THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIGHT Monday, December 30, 1957 Conservation Reserve Aid To Sportsmen The Department of Agricul ture's new experimental pro gram of retiring entire farms under the Conservation Reserve phase of the Soil Bank for five years or more is of major im portance to Nebraska sports men and conservationists, said M. O. Steen, Game Commsislon director. The primary purpose of this program Is to cut down on sur plus farm production and con serve the soil and its produc tivity. An added benefit will be the restoration of farm game habitat. Interested land owners in Ne braskaone of four states In which the experiment is being conducted have until January 31 to decide how much per acre per year they wDl take to retire all their croDland, and to submit their bids to county sta bilization and conservation of fices. The bidders will learn by February 15 whether their bids are acceptable. All cropland so retired must be devoted to a conservation practice for the duration of the contract period. "All approved conservation practices will aid wildlife," Steen pointed out. "Such areas will provide year-eround cover for wildlife and thus strike at the greatest single deficiency in farm game habitat. It was the drouth and depression of the 1930's that idled so much land and led to the high pheasant and other farm game popula tion of the late 30's and early 40's. In the years that followed," he continued. "More land was put to work, y ear-around cover diminished, and the state's farm game population declined ac cordingly. The decline of the pheasant was the most striking example of this." Witii more unfarmed acreage affording year-round winter cover, nesting cover, escape cover, etc. and with favorable weather, Nebraska's pheasant population should show a mark ed increase in the years ahead.
