With four minutes remain

cats began to stall. A half min
ute later their stall had pro
duced two more counters and
Falls City's attempt to counter
was repulsed. Scottsbluff carried
a very effective ball-control
game around the court for the
final minutes and amid some
weird officiating, kept posses

winning leaders with 15, 12 and 11
points, respectively.
Uehling 47, Mullen 36
Class D favorite, Uehling, used
a first and fourth quarter surge
to carrv them past scrappy Mul
len in ihe final afternoon contest.
The Bobcats defeated Mullen,
47-36 nfter it appeared that they
would both win in a walk and lose
a thriller.
Uehling started off in fine
style and amassed a 13-0 lead
before the small westerners lo
cated the hoop. At the quarter
the score stood at 14-1 and two
minutes later it was 16-2. Then
it was Mullen's turn.

four coints the underdogs were

used a quick two baskets to ride
into the final frame on top 34-28.
Again it was nip-and-tuck
for three minutes with Mullen
gaining lost ground before the
Bobcat set his foot down. The
superior Uehling attack told the
story in the waning moments
and the lead was gradually rebuilt.
Russell Uehling, from the town
of the same name, led the game's
scorers with 17 points. He was
ably assisted by Joe Wedergren
who potted a 15-point total.
Lenny Ridenour and Stan John

guards, led the way for the losers

dropping a weak Hastings club,

until the final minute, however,

Don't believe anyone who tells you that this state high school
basketball tournament is for high schoolers. They don't have a
complete monopoly on the "home town spirit" market.
During yesterday's cardiac-stopping Scottsbluff victory over
Falls City (49-48) we happened to glance about us and see some
of this institution's leaders literally "losing tneir
heads" as their chargers were winning their game.
Ruthie Raymond was jumping around the
Daily Nebraskan office with the vigor of her old
cheerleading days; Carr Trumbull gritted his
teeth and breathed irregularly as Scottsbluffs'
warriors held on to their state title conquest hopes
by a thread. Carr was former ace for the Bear
cats several years back.
It took a little while for Mud Yeakley to
gain her composure after Coach Warren Brown's
crew ' id started on its way up the glory road;
Dorothy Elliott looked with envious eyes as her
sister led the Scottsbluff rooting section.
ltv hna a far reaching effect on the
students at Nebraska. Ginny Franks and Donna Elliott are both
from Mitchell, but their applause went to the near-by Scottsbluff
tCam This all doesn't add up to the fact that such a display of
spirit is confined to Scottsbluff and area. Indeed, it appears to
me as if many of the pupils in Cornhuskerland have been at
tacked by the prep cage bug.

Champion Newman Club leads
the way in the 1952 Interdenomi
national All-Star basketball
squads with five men gaining
mention, including three cagers
on the first team. The Denom
aggregation is the first of five
such divisional teams to appear in
The Daily Nebraskan, the final
outfit to be the All-University
All-Star teams.
The squads were chosen by
the teams themselves. Each
competing cage outfit this year
was entitled to submit votes for
the outstanding men that op
posed them during the season
just completed. The berths
were assigned according to per
centages since the teams faced
a different number of teams
during the competition.
The Catholics, who copped
their fourth consecutive Denom
title, are represented by Bill
Griffin, Bob Kroenke and Bob
Decker on the 1952 first team.
Joining the Newmanites to round
out the first squad are am Lu
ther of the Lutheran Student As
sociation and Norm Sothan of
Presby House.
Griffin and Kroenke topped
both the Newman Club and the
entire Denom division in scor
ing this year and were near
unanimous in the balloting.
These two big boys controlled
the rebounds in every game in
which they appeared including
the only game they lost, to the
M-Street Boys for the Ali-Unaf-filiated
championship.
Decker was the Catholic spark
plug, and although he contributed
more than nis snare oi xne scores,
his main asset to the squad was
in holding the team together in
the rough spots.
Luther was the man around
which the Lutheran team func
tioned. His rebounding gave the
LSA'ers a greater number of
shots per game and his scoring
topped the runner-up outfit.
Sothan had the highest scor
ing average of the third-place
Presby aggregation and prob
ably would have had been his
team's top scorer had he ap
peared in more contests. His
height was the main cog in the
Presby attack and he garnered
the majority of his points on tip
ins. Five teams placed men on the
second team. The forwards are
Scott Stockton of Presby House
and Dick Olson of LSA; the cen
ter spot goes to Charlie Gasson
of Newman Club and the guard
berths are occupied by Marvin
Thompson of InterVarsity and
Ken Ericson of the Baptist Stu
dent House.
Tomorrow's paper will feature
the 1952 Fraternity "B" All-Star
team and on the succeeding days,
the Independent, Fraternity "A"
and All-University teams.

Seconds alter a telephone alert to a nearby
Air Force base to "scramble," pilots hustle
to their jets. In minutes, the stubby, swept
back interceptors thunder skyward.
This is the real thing. Pilots call it a "hot
scramble." Live ammo rides in their guns.
It starts when an Air Force radar station
detects an aircraft which cannot be identi
fied. A telephone call by direct wire gal
vanizes the jet crews into action.
Modern air defense requires lightning-fast,
dependable communication. That's why
our radar defense system is interlinked by
a web of direct telephone lines.
Some of today's college graduates will be
piloting Air Force jets. Others will be wel
comed into the Bell System where they can
help, in peace or war, in the tremendous
job of meeting the communications needs
of our nation.
