A fired up bunch of cagers from West Point turned back a favored Hildreth team in the opening round of Class D play. The Cadets' LeRoy Johnson (31) stalls to beat Hildreth, 40-32. Bentley Likes Spirit Displayed The crowd for the opening session of the state tournament this year is somewhat larger than was last year's attendance for the first day. The pep clubs and followers are showing tremendous support, and some outstanding high school bands are helping this cause greatly. Radio coverage has been increased for this year's tourney, and there seem to be more newspaper men on hand to wit ness the championships. The games so far have proven to be de servable of this added publicity. Sincerely, NU Publicity Director John Bentley Nebraska Reporter Picks Tech By ARNIE STERN Sports Staff Writer Thirty-two outstanding Nebras ka high school basketball teams are battling it out on the Univer sity Coliseum floor . this week. The Class A clubs are headed by Omaha Tech. Coach Neal Mosser's team seems to be the class of the A squads. Next hi line In this class stands Creighton Prep. Lots of hustle and skill coupled with plenty of sharp shooting could give Prep the Class A crown. Two previous wins over Tech can be overlooked for Tour naments are not won on past per formances. In Class B. Holy Name should so home with nil the marbles. Undefeated throughout the scasoo. the Ramblers look like the team to beat. Trouble could come from either Plainview or Seward, both salty ball clubs, but the Holy Name fast break should move to the Championship. Chadron Prep looks like the class of the C teams. With no losses chalked up against them during the regular season, the .Junior Eagles should have little trouble taking the big title. Gibbon or Hildreth could be the dark horse in Class C. The well-balanced Uehling team has the height, speed, and snapshooting to take the Class D crown. Trouble in this class could come in droves from a number of teams. Plymouth has a fine club, and either Pal myra or Edison could come through in the tight games. Hopp, Schroeder Lost? Cliff Hopp's service on the Nebraska football team may be ended. The sophomore had partic pated in freshman football at the University of Georgia and his eligibility may be tip. Ken Schroeder has decided to give up the grid sport and concentrate more on his studies and his coming marriage. Sch roeder was a center on last years' team. The Cornhusker football team has been enjoying a little vacation during the prep basketball carn ival.

Minden Rolls Over Sioux Minden breezed through its f'rst-round struggle by blasting South Sioux City, 57-33. The Whippets, doped to battle Holy Name for the Class B title, were in complete command all the way, as their height and deadeye shoot ing took its toll on the outclassed Sioux s. The Whippets jumped off to a 15-6 first-quarter lead and stretched it to 27-15 at intermis sion. South Sioux made its most serious -challenge in the third period, but could get no closer than t;-n points to the winners. With five minutes remaining in the third canto, Minden threw it in overdrive and it was strictly no contest. Harold Beck turned in the top scoring performance of the open ing session as the Whippet star hurler 21 points through the meshes.
