high schools Of the state will participate
next week I'm the greatest basket BAN
tournament ever held in the middle west
under the auspices OF the University OF
Nebraska athletic board
Twenty-one high schools have notified
Manager Earl o. Eager that they viii
participate IN the tournament and have
fulfilled the conditions with the excep-
tion OF the requirements OF the eligibility
committee. The committee will have
several iong sessions next week and ex-
anime into the eligibility Of all OF the
players to participate in the game.
The entries represent the champion
ship basket ball teams OF the state and
the winner Of the tournamentn can lay
positive claim to the interscholastie
championship OF the state Even the ex-
IRENE western part Of the state is well
represented while nearly every school OF
note in the eastern. southern and north
ern portions OF Nebraska win participate
in the tournament. The success OF the
meeting has surprised the university au-
thoritiess for It was not expected that
more than ten teams would enter
Three-Day Preiimtnariea.
The preliminaries win require steady
playing for at least two Of the three
days. The tournament viii start
promptly Thursday afternoon and con-
tinue on Friday On Saturday the semi
finals and finals will be played
To the winner Of the tournament viii
be presented handsome silver cup, the
/ gift of C. A. Tucker. The cup is to be
known az the Tucker Cup" Second
place winners are to receive a big ban
ner and the winners OF individual hon
ors as championship players will receive
individual medals.
The high schools entered in the meet
follow: WILDER. Cedar Rapids. Geneva.
West Point Temple High. Central City,
/ Schuyler. Clarks. Tecumseh, South
Omaha, Beatrice. Lincoln. Sidney, York
and stromsburg. From the extreme
western part OF the state, the champions
Of that district. the Sidney five. are en-
tered. Sidney has also played against
number OF the eastern teams. which
| apparently are strong contenders for
championship honors and the western
school will undoubtedly be in the run
ming at all times.
Omaha's Five Conceded Fast.
1t is conceded that Beatrice. Lincoln
High, WILDER, Tecumseh. Omaha, York.
Omaha and the South Omaha High schools
VIII be represented By fast 'fives." I'm
less hit hard by the eligibility commit
tee, the dope seems TO point to WILDER as
the probable winner of the champion
ship. This team has met the best teams
In the state and enters the tournament
with a clean record. Beatrice, Sidney
and Teeumseh. three OF the strongest
teams in the state, have gone down be-
fore the prowess Of the WILDER lads.
PruelSa and Shimedra are the mainstays
of the WILDER five
Cedar Rapids scored 23s points 70 its
opponents 1s0. The Cedar Rapids five
has only played one Of the teams entered
in the tournament Columbus, and lost
to it. 10 to 2s
Teeumseh looks good on paper. Only
four games have been lost out OF six
teen played by this five. one to the Peru
Normal. one TO Beatrice and two to VII
Der The team has scored nearly four
times as many points as its opponents.
The games with WILDER. in which WILDER
won' resulted 81 to 40 and 81 to q.
