First Half and Holds Enough

SHARP CONTEST IN SECOND

Coach Kavans University of Omaha
flippers put a ripple in the basket ball
dope last evening in taking the Burgess
Nash quintet to a cleaning at the Young
Mems Christian association in a Tri-City
league mix, % to 30. The contest was re-
plete with sensational ba7kets, both fives
annexing the coveted double deckers from
all angles OF the court.
Although the collegians garnered nine
teen tallies as against eight for the Bur-
nascos in the first round, they found it
extremely hard to maintain the lead in
the second period. The addition of Ole
Meyers to the Burgess-Nash lineup in
this frame almost spelled defeat for tie
students as the big forward had little
difficulty in breaking the Collegians de-
Tense.
Coming Near Finish.
Toward the cIUse of the contest the
Burnascos rapidly cut down the lead Of
the University passers but were unable
to shove over a win.
Captain Adams at left guard was the
stellar flipper for the students Besides
playing close guarding game the lanky
leader managed to collect six field goals
Leach and Bruce also showed up strong,
the work of Leach at right forward be-
ing unusually good. Mcbride at center
also played strong guarding game.
Obie Meyers was the chief luminary for
the Burnascos. Meyers cavorted about
the court at will and although closely
guarded, pulled off three sensational
flips.
