ONE POINT DIFFERENCE
Lincoln, March 7.-(Special.) y
Omaha South High was forced out in
the first round OF the Nebraska State
basket ball tournament, in which l20
Nebraska high schools are Compel
ing, which opened here this after.
noon, but not until the Packingtown
lads had made a valiant fight,
The South High five lost to Uni
versity Place, II to II, in a game
replete with thrills and which was
anybody's battle up until the final
whistle. South Side jumped out into
the lead in the first period, 7 to E, but
the University Place quintet came
back strong in the second half and
finally nosed out ahead by the mar
row margin of one point. Graham was
the particular star of the South Side
lads, getting three pretty goals from
field.
The biggest crowd which ever in
augurated tournament saw the sew
enth annual contest open. The high
school rooters from Lincoln and Uni
versity Place packed the university
gymnasium to the guards.
Lincoln Wins Easily.
Lincoln High school had a COM
paratively easy romp with WILDER in
the first round and gave the impress
sion that the Red and Black would
be serious contenders. WILDER. usually
a strong team, could not make goal
from field and scored all of its FIVE
points on free throws. Coach Reese
filled his lineup with substitutes in
the second half or he could have
piled up much larger score.
Kearney and Wahoo staged bitter
fight, which Kearney finally took, 8
to 7. thereby upsetting the dopesters
Humboldt also furnished a surprise
by putting Sutton out. 10 to 10. SUIT
ton had made splendid seasons rec
ord and had expected to give trouble
for the leaders.
