CUT TIME FOR EARLY FRAYS
Guy Refd and member of the commit
tee In charfje of arrangements for the
state tourney to be held at Lincoln the
last four days of next week are to be
complimented on the competent and con
siderate manner in which they went about
their work this year." Facing serious op
position In the form of Injured players
due to the strenuousness of the meet last
year, as well as more entries than ever
before, the director of athletics has come
safely through with such arrangements
that can be nothing but pleasing to all,
Ten to considering the classification and
pairings of the teams.
The most notable move made by the
committee Is to lessen the times of halves
In the first three rounds to ten minutes,
authorising the halves In the seml-flnsls
at twelve minutes an din the finals at fif
teen minutes. Added to this big advan
tage Is the fact that with" one exception
only one game a day will be played. Last
year tha two Omaha teams played four
games In less than twenty-six hours,
which waa probably one of the direct
reasons for the deplorable physical con
dition of local players In the latter two
rounda of the tourney and after their
return.
In making the pairing there la little
room for complaint. . It might be a!d
that Beatrice will hava a bard schedule
In playing Fairmont and Geneva, two
strong state fives. In the first and second
rounda. University Place will have a
tough game with the State Aggies In the
first round,' while Gothenburg will prob
ably have a tough time meeting Newman
Grove and Columbus In the first and sec
ond rounds. - Central and South High
schools and Lincoln certainly 'cannot have
reason for complaint aa they have as
reasonable schedule as could be ex.
pected and under the conditions can only
attain tbe top by merit alone.
easoa Dravra te Close.
The wlndup of the season finds the
leading basket ball teams of the atate
registering the same upset roll call as
In weekly reviews. . In only one Instance
Is there a team that comes through
the season -with a elean schedule and
that Is Central High of Omaha, Even
the local quintet haa showed strains of
shaklness and really haa played less state
gamea than any other quintet ot the
state.
Lincoln High school's two defeats over
Beatrice and University Place by scores
of 32 to II and 19 to M, and Kearney's
easy win over Central City, a quintet
of supposed considerable repute, by a
so'ore of S to 25, are the three .moat
notable games of the week. " ...
Central City showed poor form by al
lowing Kearney, a quintet that has been
beaten by both Mlnden and Grand Island,
to defeat them. The latter two teams
are classed in the second division of the
state tournament and should prove strong
leaders In that class. South High stock
rose noticeably with an ai!y defeat over
IMattsmouth.
Wnden's defeat of Hastings by a score
' of ?4 to O, Stromsburg'h defeat of Osce
ola by a margin of one point, the score
being 37 to 16, and Kimball's win over
Sidney by a big scoro of 2t to 14, are all
more or less surprises of the week.-
Fairmont's defeat of Crete was not
much of a surprise considering that
Coach Squire's men were Jn a highly
crippled condition and playing on . a
strange floor away from home. Central
High's defeat over Council Bluffs by a
score of 11 to IS, was more or lees a good
piece of Inck, although they deserved
their victory.

the home team, playing the floor In
brilliant style and garnering four baskets
besides. For the Bluffs team he youth
ful Shepherd, a substitute who started
the game at forward on account of Pur
year being out of the lineup, played In
big league form, making two field goals
and adding three more points on foul
throws.
Puryenr, the rangy renter on the Bluffs
team, did not start the game on account
of an Injury to his finger which he sus
tained a short time ago In a game. But
with hie team facing defeat, he entered
the game at the beginning of the second
half and was responsible for a rally that
looked dangerous for a short time.
Opens with Rash..
The gsme opened with a rush and
Iogan caged the ball for two points after
only a minute ot play. Patty threw a
foul goal and Maxwell followed quickly
with another field goal, making five
points In all before the boys from aorons
the river were able to score. Shepherd
obtained the first point with a free throw
and Mahoney followed shortly after with
a goal from the field. Field goala by
