And, Plattsmouth Coach John Adkins is figuring to work more younger players into the line up along with the veterans. It's a battle of win-hungry teams. Plattsmouth has only one win in nine games, Beatrice none in eight. Latest ventures for the teams were a 57-71 loss to Missouri Valley, Iowa, in the first round of last week's AK-Sar-Ben Con ference Tournament at Ralston for Plattsmouth; and a 36-51 deieat by Lincoln Pius X for Eeatrice Friday night. Adkins said he would probably start Fred Groce and Denny Campbell at forwards, Rog Be verage at center and Tom Smith and Bill Nettleman at guards, Nettleman and Groce moving into the starting lineup and Campbell going from guard to forward.' Also ticketed for more action than in past games are guard Dave Nettleman, forward Dan Schultz and center Jim Ingwer- son. Adkins said Saturday he still intended to use seniors who have been starting most of the games as much as possible and try sev eral combination of players. Workouts the past week were curtailed somewhat because of examinations. In Beatrice, the Blue Devils will be meeting a team which has fair height and a good scorer in Jerry Naaf. Naaf got 17 Friday night, mostly shoot ing from the outside. The reserve teams of the two schools will clash at 6:30. The games are the last here until Feb. 10. After Tuesday, the Devils are at Lincoln Northeast Friday and at Falls City Feb. 3. Next home games are against Ralston, Ak-Sar-Ben Tourney champion again, Feb. 10, and the home finale against Ashland Feb. 14. The Devils wind up their reg ular schedule on the road, against University High, Bel levue and Lincoln Southeast, r eo. 17, 21' and 24. iTIF. rLATTSMOUTTT JOURNAL PAGE SIX Monday, January 23, 1961 BOWLING Duck Pin League W L Cass Bar . . 27 15 Jane's A & W 25,i 16"2 Austin Plumbing 25'2 I6V2 Conoco 25 17 Biles 24 18 Culligan 20 Ms 21 Vi Hull s Peonies 20 22 Corner Bar 16 26 Gambles 15',i 26 Eagle Aux 11 31 Hi game and series, D.

LINCOLN "If we ever find any hunters willfully destoying property, we'll make it tough for them," Game Commission Di rector M. O. Steen warned grim ly. Steen was reviewing recent In cidents in a case involving shot up buildings and trespassing, and which reads like a thriller. "There was no absolute proof that the damage in this case was done by the teenagers in volved, but the farmer was at least able to file a complaint of hunting without permission. "If we do catch anyone in the act of maliciously destroying personal property, the law can make it rough for them," Steen continued. "If damage exceeds $100, they can be sent to the penitentiary for one to three years or be fined up to $1,000. If less than $100, the fine runs from $100 to $500, with imprison ment up to six months." The case provoking Steen's comments began in early Dec ember when Daniel Hurt of near Farwell heard shooting on his farm. Investigating, he found windows knocked out of a set of farm buildings in which he had stored grain. He also found empty shells which matched the guns of six teenagers he had stopped from leaving. Since the boys denied shoot ing at the buildings and threat ened to "come back to get him" if he turned them in, Hurt let them go. Later Hurt was per suaded to file a "hunting with out permission" charge against the boys which is still being pro cessed. "No farmer should fail to take action because of any threats made to him," Steen urged. "He has the full support of the law and all law-abiding hunters, which fortunately make up the most of our Nebraska sportsmen." W. Water Defeats Arlington Weeping Water, fast getting backing as the best basketball team in the state in Class C, added another important con quest Friday night, beating Ar lington, 58-53. Arlington has been rated 1st or 2nd all season by the metro politan newspapers. Weeping Water, the last two weeks, has been third. Victories over Syracuse and Tecumseh are included in a regular-season win string reaching back to December, 1958. on Clubhouse, Scout Cabin Enclosed Main construction work two building projects of organi zations here has been complet ed.
