HIGH SCHOOL TOURHEY
TO BEJjELD 111 LURCH
Intertcholastic Basketball Tournament
Will Be Held in Uncoln
Again Thie Year
The fifth annual Intefscholastic
Basketball Tournament will be held
this year in Lincoln from March 10 to
IS, under the auspices of the Univer
sity of Nebraska. Manager Guy Reed
has sent letters to every high school
in the state setting forth the require
ments for eligibility, and inviting the
schools to participate in the coming
tournament.
The prospects for this year's tourna
ment are the brightest. Last year
there was nothing of the kind held in
the United States that equaled the
aggregation of high school basketball
teams at Lincoln. There is every rea
son to believe that this year's tourna
ment will be fully as large as las-i
year's, and probably even larger.
The Lincoln Commercial Club has
offered its support in every possible
way, and has promised the use of the
Auditorium for the final deciding
games.
The games will be played according
to the rules of Amateur Athletic
Union, thus eliminating some of the
rough playing in college games. It is
expected that the receipts of the
tournament will be sufficient to pay
the traveling expenses of the visiting
teams.

very encouraging sign," say those In
