Pawnee Ciiy was a 52-34 win ner over Tecumseh and Wahoo a 69-45 victor over Ralston. Plattsmouth' games: Quarterfinal The Blue Devils had several "bests" for the season in trip ping Ashland, 61-44. The team's all-around effort was one of the best despite the fact that the game tended to be ragged at times. Plattsmouth's 24-point fourth quarter was its biggest tingle quarter output this season. The team's 17 for 20 free throw shooting was by far its best. And, the recently installed double pivot worked its best yet when it pulled the Blue Devils out of a momentary slump in the third quarter and got them set for the big push in the fourth. J C. Draper, half the double pivot, led the Plattsmouth scor ing with 15 and Jim Shown had 14 to continue his good scoring. Tom Martin, the other center, got 12 as did guard Ken Dasher. Forward Bill Long who got a Charley horse Tuesday was still limping and didn't play. VFVV Stage Came Supper For The Members Auxiliary Monday evening the club rooms of the Veterans of For eign Wars was the scene of a very delightful get-together of the membership and the mem bers of the Auxiliary that had paid their dues for 1953.

The supper and refreshments were all free to the members and ladies. In addition to the dinner there was also staged the obligation of a number of new members into the fratenity. It is estimated that some 175 of the members and Auxiliary participated in the event. A Real Hard Luck Victim Wednesday Norman B.

Green Light For Ice Fishermen The ice throughout most of the state is now thick enough to support ice fishermen, reports Glen R. Foster, fisheries chief for the Nebraska Game Comm ission. This is later than most years, because of the unseason able weather experienced this winter. Foster cautions all anglers, however, to beware of thin ice. Many ice-fishing trips have end ed in tragedy when the fisher man ignored the simple safety precautions of first testing the ice and wearing a life jacket. Peak ice-fishing months in Ne braska are January and Feb ruary. March begins the taper ing off period. Most fishing through the ice, according to Foster, is done in the sandhills and reservlors. there is no reason, though, why this winter sport should not be popular elsewhere, for most all waters support some fish active during the cold of winter. According to Donald F. La Point, fishery biologist for the Federal Fish and Wildlife Ser vice, the most popular ice-fishing species are crappie, walleye, and northern pike. These fish strike as well during winter as they do in the spring and fall. The equipment for ice fishing hardly matches the sportsman's tackle for normal fishing condi tions. The only essential equip ment includes hooks, sinkers, a bobber, line, fishing pole, (or ice stick as it is referred to in ice fishing circles), minnows, something with which to chop a hole through the ice and plenty of warm clothing. As Crappie and walleye run in schools, it may be necessary to cut more than one hole in order to locate them, and once they have been located, more holes may be required so the fisher man can follow the school. This serves a two-fold purpose. It not only improves the catch, but also keeps the sportsman warm. Age Conscious? Lucky You're Not a Bird Pity the poor quail and phea sant! They have no secrets from the wildlife technician. They cannot even lie about their ages. George Schildman, Nebraska Game Commission district su pervisor, has built a sort of slide rule for determining bird birth days. Give him the wing of a quail and he will tell you when that quail was born. First, he examines a certain wing feath erone of the primaries. Then he uses the slide rule, setting a marker on a number representing the number of days before the bird was shot the feather started developing. Then he looks at the other end of the slide rule at another mar ker which points to the date of the- bird's birth. It is that sim ple. One side of the rule is cali brated for quail, the other phea sant. But do not worry, girls, it cannot be used on people. It is strictly for the birds.

Volunteer Mi!o Won't Bother Much Farmers are not likely to ex perience any serious trouble from volunteer grain sorghum plants in their 1958 crops. Grain heads on the ground durliiR the winter and early spring months are likely to be pretty well rotted by planting time in 1953, says J. C. Swln bank, Extension Agronomist at the University of Nebraska. The possibility of volunteer grain sorghum plants in 1953 crops will be futher reduced by plowing the ground before plant ing the 1958 crop by following grain sorghum with another planted crop such as corn, soy beans or sorghum. Difficulty with volunteer grow th may be experienced from the seed of certain tall, off-type, forage crop plants which obser ved in many grain sorghum fields this year, Swinbank points out. Many of these tall, off-type plants represented crosses or mixtures of forage canes, Su dan grass and Johnson grass. It is the seed of these off-type plant which may volunteer in 1958. There are several practices farmers may follow if volunteer plants appear, Swinbank points out. They may plow the land in preparation for another crop or use close-planted grain crops & summer fallowing to gradually eliminate the undesirable cane growth. Dana Wyntcr Knows Something About Africa And People The explosive drama of the Mau Mau uprisings in Kenya, East Africa, and its effect on a family whose roots have been driven deep into the land of Africa for generations, forms the basis of M-G-M's big picture, "Something of Value". Coming Sunday to Wednesday Jan. 23 to 29 at Cass Theatre. Taken from the best-seller novel by Robert C. Ruark, the picture stars Rock Hudson, last seen in "Giant," with Dana Wynter. Sidney Poitier, of "Blackboard Jungle" fame, is cast in a pivotal role as a Ken ya native who has been brought up as Hudson's friend, and other important roles are played by the British actress, Wendy Hil ler, Juano Hernandez, who scor ed as the judge in "Trial", and William Marshall. Richard Brooks, who directed, as well as wrote the screen play, went to Africa with a location unit to obtain complete authen ticity in his backgrounds of the Mau Mau country, with scenes filmed in the 13,000-foot Alber dare Range, a section inhabited by lions, buffalo and rhino, the villages of Nanyuki and Nyerl in the shadow of the snow-capped 17,041-foot Mt. Kenya; and in the modern city of Nairobi. Producer Pandro S. Berman, who teamed with Brooks on "Blackboard Jungle", also pro duced "Something of Value".
