Bob Neyland, was awfully glad
to see me.

Abes Run Up
Seventh Win

Finding the hoop in the second
half for 81 counters, the Lincoln
high cagers clipped the claws of
the Aberdeen Bobcats, 1920, Sat-
urday night on the Abe naples.
1t was the fifth straight practice
win for John Kennedy's railsplit-
tiers, and came as an upset over
the touted Grays Harbor props.
Only two field goels, both one
handed pipper-dippers from the
side by Dex Hutton, were chalked
up by the Abes during the low
scoring first half, which ended
1913 in favor of the Aberdeen five.
Then the Railhewers went to work
and took the lead at the end OF
the third frame, 1918.
Baskets poured in from all
angles during the last quarter
drive that netted the Abes their
remaining 16 points.
