ka school men and University
officials banded together to
organize the first state tour
nament. Purpose of the tour
nament was to provide a cli
max for the winter's sports
struggle and give University
officials a recruiting crack at
prep stars. Incidentally, some
of the schoolmen might also
have wanted to settle once
and for all the burning issues
the relative prowess of their
respective clubs.
In that granddaddy of all
state tournaments, Beatrice
emerged with the cham
pionship as only 21 clubs
took part in one open class.
Tourney Boss
C. C. Thompson, director of
the Nebraska High School
Activities Association, is the
tournament director.
Some wonderful tails arise
out of the old
m u 1 t-class
and team
state tourna
ments how
ever. John
Bently, U n i
versity atH
1 e t i c pub
licist, recalls
rushing
around town gS2TJ?gS
on a motor- Thompson
cycle for the results of ames
that were being played in out
of the way spots. "The sports
page of the Journal was so
full of agate type reporting
results it looked like the mar
ket page," Bently said.
Down through the years
things got a good deal more
complicated. By 1920, the
tournament had expandad to
11 classes and 170 teams. An
all time peak in confusion
must have been reached in
1926 when 339 teams entered
in 22 classifications. From
that point on things began to
be more reasonable.

A gabfest turned into what
may be one of the University's
most unusual shows.
The Annual Orchesis mo

scheduled in the Howell
Theatre next week end, is
entitled "Syncopated Cen
tury". And according to Kay Neil
son publicity chairman, the
show will highlight dances
"from the horseless carriage
to the rock and roll."
The title for the show, under
the direction of Dorothy Max
well, of the women's Depart
ment of Physical Education,
was decided on in an im
promptu fashion, Miss Niel
son indicated.
"We just asked one another
what the name should be and
the talk led to "Syncopated
Century," the Miss Nebraska
of 1957, noted.
Some of the numbers being
presented are "Soft Shoe,"
"Country Hoedown", "Be

"Charle ston," "Blues,"

In all probability, there
weren't enough officials in the
state with stomachs, feet,
and heads strong enough to
withstand a week of ducking
pop bottles from irate parti
sans while at the same time
keeping tabs on the court ac
tion. Fred Deutsch, presently a
Norfolk lawyer, recalls that
chanting students paraded
Lincoln streets after vic
tories and the city was "a
general madhouse for a full
week."
In 1931, the tournament was
returned to its original one
class with 16 teams qualify
ing. In 1932, class B was add
ed and 32 teams were made
eligible. Class C came in in
1936 and the number of teams
jumped to 48, with 16 teams
in each class.
Class D was added in 1944
and the number of teams
qualifying in each class was
restricted to eight. In 1955,
the number of classes was
upped to six with four team
allowed in each class.
