The fields in the lower two classes are strong, but in the upper two classes some of the better teams, such as Omaha Tech, Papillion, Falls City, Northeast and Lin coln High were dumped in the Districts. This may lead one to believe that picking the winners Is a simple task not so, sports fans. For at least three teams in each class could walk away with all the marbles. It all depends on which teams keep the cool heads in these three days of hoop havoc. Let's take a look at all the classes as the Stick picks the probable victors. Class D . . . One of the stronger fields . '. . Herman with its 22-0 record has been the expert's nod . . . But they'll have to get by DeWitt, with high-scoring Doug Tietjen, in the semifinals to go all the way . . . Maywood is a good bet in the lower bracket but when it comes to the finals . . . Give it to HERMAN. Class C . . . Again the winner will be determined in the semifi nals . . . Either Henderson or Gibbon, with 6-7 Curt Lauer, will get the winners' trophy . . . But these two powers meet in the semis of the lower bracket . .. In the regular season Gibbon beat Henderson, 67-66, but keep in mind that Gibbon lost in the finals to Polk last year as they p ro v e d themselves a tournament team ... Stanton should cruise to the finals in the upper bracket ... but that'll be it for them .. . GIBBON. Class 8 . . . Holy Name, which lost only to Class A Pius X in the regular season, is ranked No. 1 in the state by Don Forsythe of the Lincoln Journal-Star and will ease through a weak upper bracket into the final game Saturday aft ernoon ... Down below Ralston, which made it through a tough district, and York, unimpressive in taking its district ti tle, are the top choices . . . Ralston has heighth and depth and an improved playmaker in sophomore Rick Koch and should snuff the Dukes in the semifinals . . . I'll have to go along with RALSTON in the finals and the crown. Class A . . . The question is: Will Wally Anderzunas and his Creigh ton Prep sidekicks be able to play the way they did last year? . . . The Junior Jays have the weakest competition in the tournament, meeting Grand Island in the first game and Hastings or Alliance in the semis . . . Count Prep in the finals. In the lower bracket three teams, Pius X, Boys Town and Bellevue will battle it out for the right to meet Prep. The big one Thursday will be Pius v. Bellevue. I'H throw a curve and pick Pius in this one . . . The Bolts have improved greatly of late, knocking off Northeast for the tourney ticket ... A week before Northeast took Bellevue to the cleaners . . . The winner here will go all the way to the finals. If it's Bellevue, they'll win the tournament ... If it's Pius, prep will take the cake . . . PREP. Players to Watch . . . Keep an eye peeled for these stars Prep's Anderzun as, Boys Town's Dick McGuire, Bellevue's Dick Agnew, Pius' Dayle Churchill and Chris Wickham, Ralston's Doug Cottingham, York's Paul Johnston, Gibbon's Curt Lauer and Henderson's Ron Regier. oipes Pimm The nation's top wrestling conference opens its two-day tournament "riday and Satur day with one of the toughest fields in the history of Big Eight wrestling. The Big Eight has failed only four times to produce the national championship team. The number one and two ranked teams in the nation are Iowa State and Oklahoma State, as rated by Amateur Wrestling News. In a pre tournament All-America poll, 17 Big Eight wrestlers were given top spots. Coach Bob Mancuso feels Iowa State and Oklahoma State will battle foe top hon ors. In a dual match, the Cy clones and Cowpokes drew 12-12. , Mancuso gives the edge to the Cowboys, however. 0 State is strong in the 115 and 191 pound classes which are not included in dual meets. Mancuso looks for Colorado and Kansas State to fill out the top half of the bracket with Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas in the lower division. Husker stock dropped when Dennis Kendall, consistent point-getter and 147-pound battler, sustained a back in jury. Coach Mancuso could not say Wednesday whether or not Kendall would be well enough to make the trip. The Nebraska coach previ ously lost three performers due to scholastic ineligibility. In addition, sophomore Phil McCaffrey who returned to the squad this past week after sitting out nearly two months with a broken foot hasn't had time to work into condition Nebraska hopes are pinned mainly on Kendall and 123- pound Rick AUgood. The red headed flash has been beaten only once this year in duals, and could surprise at the tourney. Only one boy on Mancuso's young team has previous tournament experi ence; Chuck Martin, senior 130-pounder. All other grap plers are sophomores. Five champions will return to the tournament this year. l John Thompson from K-State, 137: Veryl Long, Iowa State, 147; Bob Zweicher, Oklahoma State, 167; Dean Lahr, Colo rado, 177; and Joe James, Ok State, HWT will all be look ing for repeat crowns. Last year the tourney was won by Oklahoma State, with Oklahoma a distant second, Iowa State was third, followed by Kansas State, Colorado and Nebraska. Later, in the nationals, Oklahoma St.ate was surprised by Oklahoma and Iowa State, who finished 1-2 in the NCAA tournament. All eight league schools will be entered in the tournament this year for the first time Kansas and Missouri who have not previously been in the conference tourney will be entered.
