The visitors led at the stops 13-7, 31-19 and 38-31.

Steve Refsell had hit three field goals for Blair. The leggy but determined and effective 6-4 forward took game scoring hon ors with 19, despite fouling out in the last period. The Blue Devils were able to produce only three field goals the second quarter, four the third and two the fourth. They THOMAS WALLING CO. Plattsmouth, Nebraska Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" were so frigid that several times shots went reboundless as they missed basket, backboard and all. The under-the-basket duel be tween Blair's 6-5, 230-pound Larry Hansen and Plattsmouth's Roger Beverage, 6-4 and 190, was a near standoff. Beverage won the point competition, 12-10, but Hansen had a little the bet ter of it in rebounding. Plattsmouth led in game re bounding, 33-32. Lanum 's 14 points were high for the Devils. They Included 10 for 13 from the free-throw line. Squirrel, Mink Seasons To End LINCOLN Nebraska's state wide seasons on squirrel and mink end Tuesday, January 15, the Game Commission said.

Frosh .,.12 9 15 1046 Twenty-seven persons were present at the gun safety pro gram given by the Cas.i County Military Rod and Gun Club here Saturday night. Roy Owens, conservation offi cer at Crete, lived up to his rep utation as "speaker extra-ordinary" and as a good public re lations man for the game com mission. He kepi the crowd in stitches. Roy is known for his "actual" reporting of the wonders of Ne brd.sk He told of the old sandhills steer that rivals Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox: "When the Taylor Grazing Act went into force a lot of fence had to be put up and during the drouth the ground was hard as rock. Going was pretty slew and there was almost one hundred miles of fence to go when this rancher brought the steer to camp and showed what he had taught it. . "He had tied an anvil to its tail and when he played the mouth organ that steer would march along swinging his tall. "Every time that tail would come down a man would place a post under and it would be driven about two feet Into the ground. "That crazy steer would drive posts so fast that it took a crew of four men rolling wire to keep up with it. "The crew was on the last half mile when tragedy struck. "One of those famous sand hills flies landed between the steers eyes and hung on. "It so engaged the steer that he forgot about the music and the anvil and swung his tail to get rid of that pesky fly he killed himself." Roy Owens "can lead any party who doubts the story to the exact spot where it hap pened. The writer has no doubts as he was one of the four man crew rolling wire." Roy with the help of a fellow conservation officer for this dis trict gave a demonstration on hunting safety, what to do and not to do. Owens was enthusi astic about the need to put on a full hunter safety course. One of the reasons is that there is legislation pending to make it a requirement for a li cense, he said. The officers pledged assist ance to put on the course. Both will be at the gun safety pro gram Jan. 10 at Louisville. The gun display was well re- Basketball Scores Blair 56, Plattsmouth 41.
