Thursday, March il, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 Sports Talk BY LEE HARRIS The state high school basket tourney thfs week has overshad owed university athletics due to the fact that competition this year among the high schools is at a fever pitch. There is good reason for such interest in this tourney or any other tourney of its kind that brines, the high school athletes of the state to Lincoln. That reason being that those players that so many NU students will be watch ing this week are the ones they may be watching in future years on the Cornhusker varsity squads. Using the basketball tourney as an example, there appears to be a host of outstanding stars ready to vie for state honors. Grand Island brings such athletes os Bob Reynolds and Dale Toft while Creighton Prep, Northeast, and Hastings carry with them boys who will compare with the best. Not to mention Boys Town, a team that has enough speed and ability massed to caused a lot of trouble in the next few days. No matter who wins the cham pionship, stars will evolve and records will be broken by Ne braskans. Names will soon be for gotten by the vast majority of fans and they will pass on, many of them, from high school to col lege competition. Nebraska students who take in the action at the Coliseum the next few days should watch their favorite teams. Many of the boys on those teams will be the same you will root for at your own school in a year or two. Anyway .we hope so. As Potsy Clark has stated, Nebraska is a large enough state to maintain high athletic standards with teams composed of Nebraska boys. Let us all hope that this will be the case in not only football but every sport. By the standard of prep competition usually main tained in Nebraska to put cut good teams composed of those same players who starred in high school after they have a year or two of college training, does not seem too difficult H 1, CAGE ACTION Paul Shields (3), Otto Schnellbacher (11) and Dick Srb (4) are shown leaping for the ball during the second" half of Saturday night's game.
