pset Torn From o f Devils at 13a Plattsmouth High's cage Blue Devils had a good upset vlctroy torn from their grasp Friday night at Ralston. It was a rugged and ragged game which the Devils appar ently had secured, holding a four-point lead with 41 seconds to play. Then, the play which had been out-of-hand throughout the game as far as the officiating was con cerned, went against the Devils. They still led 48-44 with 25 sec onds left and were playing the careful game they'd planned and executed well. The plan then of course was to shoot only when certain to score or be fouled. Dennis Campbell broke loose and went in all alone for a lay up. But, 6-8 Woodward came over out of nowhere to sweep Campbell and his shot away. Ralston got possession and went down for a goal. Plattsmouth still had a two point margin and tried after that to freeze the ball. But, Ralston ganged up on Al Dasher and blasted the ball loose with just a couple seconds left. I After a timeout to plan strat-, egy, Ralston got the hall In to j Woodward under the basket. He crouched to spring- for a shot amid a melee of players and with the roof about to leave from fan reaction. It was evident that a foul had' been called and Woodward went up to throw In a field goal. The basket was allowed, to tie the score, and Woodward had a free toss coming with five sec onds left. He converted the charity shot for a 49-48 Ralston lead. Plattsmouth didn't get a shot up, was called for a foul and Ral ston added the other point for the 50-48 count. It was a bitterly disappointing loss for the Plattsmouth team. They'd worked all week plan ning how they'd handle big Woodward and the other Rals ton players. They played it to near perfec tion. Jim Shown was put against Woodward with instructions to keep the big boy away from the scoring area as much as pos sible. He did. Woodward got 10 points but not one in the second half until the last second debacle. ttiWI7(BB?

Themselves, the Devils scored well as needs arose. Al Dasher led with 18. Shown got 14 despite his chores against Woodward and Miller. Roger Noell did a good job under the boards before fouling out in the last seconds and managed six points. Denny Campbell and Larry Marler, the guards, contributed six and four points and made important plays. Coach John Adklns praised h.'s whole team for a great effort and still feels the Devils deserv ed to win. He didn't say the officiating was pointedly one-sided. He said it was too loose the entire game. Ralston Wins Reserve Game Ralsto.n's Reserves scored big In the second and third quar ters Friday night to defeat the Plattsmouth High Reserves, 47 35. at Ralston. Plattsmouth had foul trouble early and this caught up with the Devils in the middle periods when Ralston went from a 7-7 tie to a 40-28 lead Lee Hackler and Duane Haith scored 9 each to lead the Devils.

Lutz Assistant Extension Editor I'niversity of Nebraska Southeast Nebraska farmers and stockmen will soon have a chance to observe first-hand a beef cattle breeding project be ing carried out by the Univer sity of Nebraska. Dr. Robert M. Koch, chair man of the University's Depart ment of Animal Husbandry, said approximately 200 head of An gus breeding cows may be moved next fall to the new experiment al farm four miles south of Vir ginia, in South-Central Gage county. The farm is made up of a sec tion of land donated in 1944 to the University by the Dwight Dalbey estate, plus 480 acres ad joining it purchased in 1959. The section of land donated from the Dalbey estate has been operated by the Department of Agronomy at the College of Ag riculture for native hay and soil studies. The 480 acre-addition was pur chased from the proceeds of a 320-acre Improved farm near Hordville, sold by the University in November, 1958. This farm, known as the Halleck Estate farm, earlier had been given to the University, and was used in Irrigation development work be fore it was sold. The Department of Animal Husbandry is now in the process of developing the two tracts into a single unit, designed to sup port a sizeable breeding cow herd. The goal is to convert the en tire layout of 1,120 acres to pas ture or hayland. The Dalbey bequest carried the stipulation that the University allow the land to remain in native (warm season) grasses. "The abundance of warm sea son pasture makes this (Dal bey) land Ideally suited for graz ing cows and calves from July through the remainder of the season. Land was needed for development of cool season gras- Boat Club Talks About New Ramp, New Number Rule The Piattsmouth Boat Club discussed building a new ramp at its dock site on the Missouri River here and talked about the new. boat numbering law effect ive this year, when the club met Friday night at the Forty and Eight Club. The club plans a new ramp, perhaps of planking, to replace a concrete ramp which was undermined and broken last year. Members of the club are not too happy with the numbering regulation that requires all boats to be numbered with a specific type of number evi dently available only in Omaha. New officers of 'the club are: Bill Coakley, commodore; Ray Herring, vice commodore; Mrs. James McMillian, secretary, and Dick Tincher, treasurer.

Montreal, Canada Thirty one puzzled policemen found tickets on their patrol cars parked in a reserved area be hind headquarters. They were told that a rookie policeman, unaware that the space was re served for police cars, took the "no parking" sign literally. R. II. S. Crossman, British La borite: "One big misconception about Americans is that they are ar rogant. Actually, most of them are humbler, more open-minded and, above all, much kinder than thi average Englishman." Near Hordville ses and legumes to carry a cow herd earlier in the season, so that the native sod can be managed in the correct man ner," Dr. Koch explained. Sending of the cropland por tion of the 480 acres to brome grass and alfalfa is about complete, he added. Other problems which must be met before cattle can be moved on the farm include providing an adequate water supply for the cattle, building several miles of fence for the breeding pastures, and construction of cattle handling facilities. . In addition, some work re mains to be done on farm build ings and a dwelling which will serve as farm headquarters. Jack Lenz, Jr., a 1959 graduate of the University, farm manager, will make his home at the farm with his wife, Betty, and three chil dren. Work at the Virginia farm will be a continuation of beef cattle breeding research inititated by the Department of Animal Hus bandry in 1946, Dr. Koch point ed out. This research involves a study of heredity in beef cat tle, from which the most ef fective breeding practices for improving the productive ef ficiency and carcass quality will be derived for use by the beef In dustry. Beef breeding research is a longtime effort with results coming In slowly. In addition to beef cattle breeding research conducted at Lincoln, the Nebraska Agricul tural Experiment Station has developed a project pointly with the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Ag ricuture. This project has been carried out at the Fort Robin son Beef Research Station near Crawford. All beef breeding pro jects are part ot a coordinated program Involving many states. The Nebraska projects are part of the North Central Regional Project which was begun in 1948. While research efforts on beef cattle breeding at Lincoln have been productive, the program has ben hampered somewhat by lack of available land, Dr. Koch noted. The fact that cattle have been kept on two separate tracts has caused some problems in re search due to differencs in en vironment. The agreement leas ing one tract to the University can be revoked with only 30 days notice. On the other side of the coin, the extensive nature jot the operations at Fort Robinson has some drawbacks in certain phases of breeding research. "These phases of research can be accomplished more effectively through a well-developed, inten sive type unit fairly close to Lin coln conditions met fairly well by the enlarged Virginia unit," Dr. Koch stated. Detailed studies at the south east Nebraska farm will com plement work at Fort Robinson, and in fact make efforts there even more productive, he added. The Angus cows are part of the College of Agriculture herd that has been built up over a long period of years. Additional Angus cows were transferred to Lincoln from Fort Robinson in 1958. Thirty-one cows were pur chased ' from Michigan State University recently. The importance of beef cattle research is emphasiezd by the fact that the beef cattle industry is the number one source of in come in the state's predominate ly agricultural economy, Dr. Koch commented. "Knowledge from Nebraska re search is having an impact on genetic through research of beef cattle," he said. "Improved breeding practices through re search Is one of the most im portant factors for increased industry efficiency through de production costs and improve ment in quality of product."
