enthusiasm that did not escape the
eyes of Huggins.

many changes in the rating of
the teams as well as a number of ad
ditional names on
the list of entries.
Kimball, the
semi-finalists with
Lincoln last year,
Ikjs not entered
the tourney. Au
burn, another class
" A " team, dropped
to Class " C " this
year, while Norfolk
is not entered. Su
perior, like Auburn, dropped to class
"C" standing.
In their places Crete, a class "C"
team last year; YVahoo, Fremont.
Alliance and Clay Center, class "B"
teams last season, all advanced to the
highest group. The changes will
make more than one-third of the
classification in the highest class.
Omaha is well represented in the
first class with four teams listed,
Omaha Commerce, Omaha Central,
South Omaha and Crcighton Prep.
Omaha has one-fourth of the upper
class all to itself, giving the metropo
lis a good chance to take the pennant
into that city.
Lincoln, Sutton and Omaha Central
appear to be the leading contestants
from the rating of their games this
season. Omaha Central and Lincoln
have broken even in two games, each
winning one during the season. Sut
ton lias also drubbed the Capital City
tive and stands well in the lead with
these teams as a probable cup contender.
