Plattsmouth had trouble mov ing through a tight Crete zone defense which plugged up the free throw area and hampered the Blue Devils' double pivot. Late in the game, Plattsmouth went back to a single post of fense. The loss made the Blue Dev ils 1-1 In the conference and 4-3 overall.

Coach John Adkins of Platts mouth was not taking the tour nament lightly. Quite the con trary, he ordered a long, hard practice Sunday at 2:30 and more of the same was the order this afternoon. He was stressing "mobility" in the workouts, since he felt that was a glaring shortcoming at Crete. "We were just stand ing around much of the time," he said. He's drilled his squad on the necessity to move almost constantly in order to make his new double pivot work right. The twin posts with Tom Mar tin and J. C. Draper in Key rol es was not an unquallfed success at Crete but Adkins figured to start with it in the Ak-Sar-Ben. "We need several games of work with it," he said. He hoped the tournament would give the Blue Devils the opportunity. Four games in four nights, if they can survive will be a good test for the squad. The same 12 players who've been on the varsity squad the last few games are Plattsmouth's tournament squad. LOANS FOR FARMERS & STOCKMEN South Omaha PRODUCTION CREDIT ASSOCIATION 24 1 1 L.
