JOURNALISM STUDENTS
REPORT CAGE TOURNEY
Forty-nine "Cover" Games for
123 Out-state News
papers. Forty-nine students in the School
of Journalism "covered" the Nebras
ka high school basketball tournament
for 123 papers in eighty-five towns
yesterday. The work is being done
for newspapers all over the state by
the University of Nebraska News
Service under the direction of Prof.
M. M. Fogg, director of the School
of Journalism.
Last year students covered the
eames for twentv-one papers on a
very short notice. The young jour
nalists have the ambition and ability
to do even more work, but this is
impossible because they cannot get
out of classes, according to Profes
sor Fogg.
A regular correspondence bureau
has been established in University
hall 111. Three typewriters, sev
eral extra desks, and three large
bulletin boards give the room the
aspect of a big city editorial room.
All of the important games were
covered yesterday and the office
was open until midnight. ,The tour
nament is being covered for five
daily papers, which makes it neces
sary to mail a great deal of the copy
each night.
General resume stories are to be
written for all of the weekly papers,
with a local atmosphere throughout
the articles. Stories about losing
teams must be turned in immediately.
All of the copy is to be sent Mon
day. When questioned about his big
news bureau, Professor Fogg said,
"It's boiling! Warm stuff 1 Great
fun!"

COMPLETE INITIAL
ROUND OF CONTEST
Eliminate 121 Teams First Day
of Basketball Tourna
ment. GENEVA VICTORY IS
ONLY UPSET OF DAY
With the exception of the 12 to S)
Geneva victory over York in Class
A at the coliseum yesterday there
were no big upsets in the first round
of the fourteenth annual state high
basketball tournament. Most of the
preliminary gan es came out as the
comparative season record of the
teams might indicate. In class A
the big six, Creighton Prep, Lincoln,
Omaha Tech, Omaha Central, Fre
mont, and Norfolk won their games
as the dopesters had figured before
the tourney started.
One hundred twenty-one games
were played in the nitial round yes
terday. Seven teams drew byes for
the first day and there remain 128
unconquered quintets in the tourney,
three-fourths of whom will fall down
in defeat before the day is over.
The second rounds in each class will
be played this morning and afternoon
and the semi-finals will be played off
this evening. The finals will be played
tomorrow afternoo nin the lower
classes, ending up at 9:00 in the eve
ning with the final game of class A
at the coliseum.
The York-Geneva game in class A
at the coliseum which was won by
Geneva in an extra three minute pe
riod was one of the closest games
played in the hgher classes, and the
only one in class A that required
an extra period to decide the winner.
At the end of the half York led 9 to
4. The Geneva cagemen came back
in the second half and opened up with
a basket shooting rally that netted
them two field goals and one free
throw tieing the score. In the extra
three minutes, Geneva made another
field goal and on more free throw.
Linback was the star forward of the
Geneva team, accounting for 5 of the
12 tallies.
In early season games Geneva lost
twice to York, once by a score of
17 to 15 and another time 26 to 21.
Lincoln high piled up the biggest
score of the day in class A against
Sidney. The score was 31 to 11. Jug
Brown of the Link crew went on a
basket shooting spree making a total
of 17 points.
Creighton Prep WiuS.
Creighton Prep tromped all over
Valentine to the tune of 26 to 8 in
the fourth game at the coliseum. The
Blue and White Irishmen headed by
O'Brien and Moylan who made 12
and 11 points respectively, were nev
er in danger of losing their gam.
Anothr one-sided game was that
between University Place and Nor
folk in which Norfolk was the hapr.y
winner of a 28 to 9 score.
Fremont beat South Omaha 22 to 7.
