Finals in state high school
tournaments here in Nebraska
have always been characterized by
low scores in the finals. The boys,
playing on the big coliseum floor,
seem to tighten up and take no
chances,; depending on a tight de:
fenslve game rather than on of
fensive power. i j , . 1 . 1 i '
In 28 class A floats, only once
has th winner made 30 points
or more. That yeac Geneva went
up to 41, In beating Unl Place,
41 to 24, but neither before nor
afterward has any team made
v 30 points.
Omaha South made 26 points in
beating Jackson high in 1937;
Lincoln beat Kearney, 27 to 16 in
1930, and Lincoln won from old
Omaha Commerce, 29 to 33 in
1918, in the only other instance
in which teams made more than
25 markers.
Omaha Tech won from Has
tings 23 to 11 and St. Paul won
from Hastings, 25 to 22, and in
ten other finals the winner has
scored between 20 and 25 points.
In the other 11 titular games,
the winner has collected fewer
than 20 points.
The game which took the de
fensive ribbon, tho, was the 1921
classic between Omaha Tech and
Uni Place, which the Techmen
won 11 to 9.' Lowest scores in the
past decade have been the 14 to
12 victory which the Columbus
team featuring Charley Brock
took from Hastings, and the 1931
final in which Nebraska Deaf
came thru over Crete, 17 to 11.
CreigBiton Prep
favored to win
Class A crown
Kearney squares off against Mitchell in first
game; defending champions Lincoln given
little chance to repeat; Jackson looks good
Proffitt leads N U
to gymnastics title
Roy Proffitt, star Husker gym
.nast, led Charley Miller's Nebraska
gym team to the Rocky Mountain
regional A. A. U. title last Satur
day at Greeley, Colo., as the Husk
ers made 36 points in their final
competition of the 1939 season.
Proffitt was high point man of
he meet with a first on the flying
rings, and ties for second in tum
bling and the parallel bars. Other
Huskers who placed in the meet
were Gay Cadwell, first in the side
horse, and Jake Gcier, fourth in
the side horse and parallel bars.
Colorado State college, Fort Col
lins, was second to the Huskers
with 24 points, while third went
to Greeley State Teachers with 21.

Nebraska's 1939 state high
school basketball tournament gets
under way this afternoon at 1
o'clock as Kearney meets Mitch
ell on the varsity floor in the op
ening class A game. Beaver Cross
ing plays Elwood and Steinauer
faces Inman in classes A and B
respectively in the other two op
eners. Creighton Prep of Omaha, fav
ored to win this year's crown,
faces Hastings at 4 o'clock in the
closing game on the afternoon
card. The little jays wauopeu iu
don Miller's team 35-16 early in
the season, and with an air tight
defense which has held opponents
to an average of 17 points per
game, should win.
Lincoln, defending champions,
face a hard task in winning their
first game, let alone the tourna
ment. The Red and Black face Vir-
cil Yelkin's Norfolk crew, who
beat Ainsworth, last year's run
nerup, in the Norfolk regional
finals.
Jackson High of Lincoln, second
favorite in the meet, goes against
Fred Shirey's Beatrice team in the
first game of the evening session.
The Beatrice boys possess a
mediocre season's record but came
close to upsetting the touted Falls
City team in last week's region-
als.
Falls City, who lost by but one
point to Creighton Prep during the
season, meets Columtois in tne sec
ond afternoon game, and should
win, altho Capt. Tom Brock may
make it a ball game.
York high, with but an early
season upset by Geneva, and a re
cent loss to Jackson, faces Omaha
South, who, altho they gave
Creighton Prep their only defeat,
haven t had much of a season
York, led by a great center in Ted
Greene, looks like a pretty fair bet
for a semifinal berth. Neither Fre
mont nor the Curtis Aggies, who
play the final game on tonight's
card, look strong enougn to stop
the Dukes provided they get by
South.
Ainsworth, last year's runnerup,
meets Chappell, the only undefeat
ed team in the state in the second
game on the evening program. The
Ainsworth squad, led by Center
Ralph Langer, won a large follow
ins- among: state high tourney fans
last year as they battled thru to
the finals, and they look strong
enough to subdue Chappell, who
has been handicapped by lack of
strong competition.
Bethany, who has won three
consecutive class B titles, was
seeded in that division, and meet
An.'.ley on the last class B game
of the evening. Beaver Crossing
the other seeded team, opens up
against Elwood.
Bratton Union, last year a clas
C winner, was eliminated by Stein
auer in the playoffs, so seeded po
sitions have gone to Steinauer and
Surprise, who face Inman and
Loomis respectively.

Matmeriwork
for Big Six
meet at Ames
Knight, Luke make final
conference appearance;
NU squad in good shape
Husker matmen will ring down
the curtain on an unsuccessful sea
son Friday and Saturday with the
conference meet at Ames. Two
seniors will be on the Husker
squad. Jim Knight and Bill Luke
will compete in their last confer
ence meet.
Nebraska wrestlers have won
only three meets and tied one this
year. The Scarlet and Cream
whipped Franklin and Marshall,
Kansas State, and Grinnell, and
tied with Lafayette.
The Husker team will go into
the tournament stronger than it
has been at any time this year
Several of the grapplers have shed
some excess weight and are finally
in the divisions in which they be
long. The renovated team handed
Grinnell a 28 to 8 whipping last
Saturday.
The conference meet lineup will
probably be the same that which
defeated Grinnell. The probable
lineup includes: Milton Kuska, 121,
Jim Knight, 128. Bill Luke, 136,
Julius Wittman, 145, Herb Rosen
thal, 155, Shelley Condon, 165, Ray
Tomes, 175, and George Seeman
heavyweight.
