All four fields are crowded with potential title winners. The teams are so evenly matched that no single class lists a unanimous favorite. The regional tournaments were filled with upsets. Underdog teams paid little attention to the role cast their way by sports Writers and "crystal-ball gazers." No team was strong enough to go through the , season unde feated. Last year Minden, Paw nee City, St. Joseph's of Atkin son, Chadron Prep, and Hil dreth all were sporting un tarnished records at state tourney time.

Coach Harry Combes sent his Illini through a rugged 22-game schedule this season which had them winning all but three starts. Illinois tied up its western con ference title last week by down ing Michigan State 49-43. Only loop loss sustained by the Orange and Blue in Big Ten play was to Indiana which also handed K-State one of its three setbacks. The Hoosiers blasted Illinois 64-53 at Bloomington. but lost 71-65 in a return match at Champaign. Other Illinois losses were to Toledo, 68-54, and DePaul, 68-65. Leading the Illini fast break attack will be Captain Don Sun derlage who was a sophomore starter on its 1949 Big Ten champion club.

Paul Fredstrom, one of the classiest pivots in the state, will lead the team, but even he may not be enough to carry it through to the state title. So the Rockets are considered as being merely one of several contend ers. North Platte rated the top notch spot until Scottsbluff beat her in the reglonais. But tne Platters are still a strong team and are rated a top threat. Omaha Benson, according to Gregg McBride of the Omaha World-Herald, is the team to win the A title. But the Bunnies have been no more impressive in seasonal play than the other top teams in that class. Their record is 14-5. Lincoln High also gets a strong vote in Class A.

Newman roared right 'back, how ever, on goals by Neil Campbell, Bill Griffin and Jack Valentine to take the lead for good. By the end of the first quar ter the score stood at 10-6 and by halftime, the Catholics had upped the margin to 27-11. COAST TO WIN From there the Denom champs coasted to their win.

Big Lead The Geologists increased their margin in the third quarter and appeared well situated going into the final stanza leading 40 to 25. The Warriors had other ideas, however, and with Jerry Stras heim and Marv Lawton spark ing their rally, they began breathing down the necks of the top-heavy favorites. The rally carried them to nine straight points at one time during the last quarter and over all, the Warriors 'garnered 16 points to the Geologists' four. But the ral ly came too late and the Geology band "had enough stamia to hold out until the final buzzer.
