In Class B
University High and Geneva
opened the 47th annual Nebraska
State High School Basketball
Tournament last night with vic
tories in Class B. Thus, the two
teams advance to the finals which
will be played Saturday afternoon.
At the same time Phillips and
Byron were taking wins to ad
vance to the finals in Class E.
University High opened the eve
nings program with an easy 68-53
triumph over Madison. Marv Bauer
led the way with 30 big points. This
topped the old Class B record for
a single game of 23 points by Mel
Herman of Hebron set last year.
Bauer was helped out by the out
side shooting of little Bobby Lar
son and the rebounding of J. V.
Olsen, Henry Sader, and Don
Luehr.
The Geneva win over Chadron
came little harder. The Wild
cats took an early lead which they
held throughout the entire first half
of play. Then Chadron with the
Jones boys took control and went
ahead 40-38 going into the final
period of play. The last period wag
a see-saw battle with Geneva fin
ally taking the lead to stay midway
in the quarter. They were moving
away at the final gun. Lary Fiedler
hit 24 points to lead Geneva. Ron
and Don Jones and Bob Crawford
paced the Cardinals. The final
score was 55-46.
Phillips won their game by a
score of 52-48 from a determined
Weston five. Phillips led through
out most of the first half and Wes
ton bounced back to take a one
point lead after three periods of
play. It wasn't until the final min
utes that the game was decided.
Byron grabbed a 20-16 first quar
ter lead and went on to a 58-32
win over Cody. The Cherry County
crew 'acked the necessary height
to win.

Could Surprise Experts:
Orioles Picked
Too Many Big
By bob mm
Staff Sports Writer
The Baltimore Orioles with Paul
Richards at the helm seem des
tined for another dismal season
in 1957 unless their young rookie
pitchers have a surprising year.
Last season the ex-White Sox pilot
guided his Birds to sixth place.
An improved Washington squad will
probably move them one notch low
er this time.
Several " outstanding youngsters
top the list of players in the Oriole
camp at Scottsdale, Arizona. Coach
Harry Brecheen, the former Car
dinal hurler, has been greatly im
pressed this spring by such men
as Charley Beamon, Bill O'Dell,
Ron Moeller and Don Ferrarese.
All of these fellows are pitchers.
Beamon is a 21-year-old right
hander up from Vancouver of the
PCL. He won 13 last year and
dropped only 6 with a 3.54 ERA.
Officials feel he could go all the
way this year.
O'Dell is a bonus baby who saw
limited action last season. In early
exhibition games, the youngster
has looked excellent.
Moeller only 18 may be a year
or so from stardom. He was with
Texas City last year.
Farrarese spent last season with
the Orioles. Although having a dis
appointing 4-10 record he is expect
ed to be improved.He had several
top games last year and was er
ratic on other occasions.
Add two or three of these young
hurlers to a list of men like Ray
Moore, Skinny Brown, Connie John
son, Bill Wight, and George Zuver-
ink and you have a pretty fair
staff.
The remainder of the squad also
has big question marks. Bob Boyd,
who hit .311 last year, will probab
ly again be on first base. If he
can't retain his batting eye the vet
eran George Kell will be at the
initial sack.
Billy Gardner will be at second
and Willie Miranda probably will
get ;he call at short. Both are
good fielders but light with the bat.
Miranda hasn't as yet signed his
1957 contract but he is expected
to do so thL week end.
Third base belongs ' to Kell un
less the 33-year old vet moves to
first. Kell's average slipped to .271
last season but he is confident the
mark will again be above .300 this
season. Kell needs only 38 more
hits to join the 2000 hit club.

Could Be End Of Road For KU:
Jayhawhs Trek To Dallas
Chamberlain,
By MIKE LOUGH
Staff Sports Writer
Kansas University, the Big Sev
ens NCAA representative will
meet Southern Methodist Universi
ty at Dallas in the first round of
the Western NCAA Regional bas
ketball tourney today. The game
should prove to be a real thriller.
They have "the cleverest, fast
est team I have seen this year,
according to Jack Easkridge, as
sistant KU coach He named Jim
Krebs, UP All-America selection,
and Bob McGregor, 6'5" senior,
as great re bounders and fast break
artists. These two men lead the
SMU team which just loves to run.
Krebs, who has been called the
finest player in Southwest Confer
ence history, is boasting a 23.9 sea
son scoring average. But the 6'8"
Krebs will definitely have his hands
full as he will be pitted against
the famous Wilt Dipper Chamber
lain. SMU has a 21-3 season record
and an 11.1 conference mark. They
glided to the Southwest Conference
championship with ease. KU is sep
arated by only 2 goals and 2 sec
onds from a perfect 23-0 season
mark. The Jayhawkers were de
feated 39-37 by Don Medsker's 18
foot jump shot in the Iowa State
game January 12, thrown the sec
ong the gun went off. They met
a similar fate February 21 when
Oklahoma Aggie guard Mel Wright
sunk a 19 footer with two seconds
to go to ice the match for the Ag
gies 56-54.
SMU will boast one of the top

and Bob Nieman will probably be
the starting outfielders for Rich
ards. Williams also may see some
action at first or second base. Fran
cona last year as a rookie hit
.258 and may raise this to around
.280 this time. Nieman, who re
ceived a good pay boost from last
year, says he hopes to drive in
100 runs for the first time in his
career. At 30 he looks like the best
of the three.
Other outfield candidates are: Al
Pilarcik and rookies Carl Powis
and Bob Nelson.
Although a very young team Bal
timore will give opponents plenty
of headaches before the campaign
is over.
Monday's paper will carry the
eighth place American League
team and reports on the senior
circuit will begin Tuesday.
