Seward Seahawks Begin Practice

Coach Dalberg announces that basketball practice will begin for the Seward High School Seahawks on Monday, October 18th. For the first three days a class intramural tournament will be held and the squad will be selected on Thurs day, October Fist when regular practice will start.
 Even before the season or prac- tice has started, it was learned this week that lettermen Henry Doe" Blatchford will be unable to participate for the Seahawks this season because of heart ail- ment. Doe" will be sorely missed this season because of his out standing ball handling and floor maneuvering. "Doc,' a sophomore. broke into the starting lineup to- wards the end of last sef son and really put on a show for the Sew ard, Nebraska fans with his fancy dribbling and deceptive iballhandl- ing. It is hoped that Doe" will take it easy this year and perhaps will outgrow his heart difficulties in another year or so. He will be on hand to give his loyal support to the team and the team now feels that they are going out this year to win for Doe"
 Other returning lettermen are Seniors Pete Wagner. 6 5" center. Wilbur Hamblin, 6 forward; and Danny Rose, 5 11k" forward; Juniors Kenny Bahr, 5 61a". guard and Dave Hughes, 5 10h" for ward; and Joe Hughes, 6 2" cen ter. These boys have had more experience now and with some other promising boys are determ- ined to make this great year for the Seahawks.

UTILITY BOARD SESSION DIGS INTO DITCH PROBLEM

The Seward Utility Board met on Tuesday evening of this week to transact the business of the Utilities and welcome onto the Board two new members and one holdover.
 City Clerk Sigrid Stearns swore new members Clarence Larsen, Robert Stearns and Phil Durant in for their terms of office.
 DIGGING CONTRACT
 The Tuesday evening meeting was the time declared in an in vitation for bids to be the time to open the bid letters offering to dig all water department ditches for the next year. No bids were received so for the present the City will continue to have ditches dug on job basis.
 The two contractors who have been digging the City's ditches were present and gave as their reasons for not bidding the small amount of digging and the fact that if they signed a contract they would be obliged to keep their rigs" in town at all times
 The City Manager told the Utili- ty Board that the City had under consideration the purchase of a Quickway shovel and would likely be able to do the digging for the Water Department if it were pur- chased.
 As a part of the discussion of the digging contract the Utility Board also got off on the subject of the present charge for digging in new connections to the water line. At present the charge is set by Ordinance, which the Utility Board cannot change, at $1 for permit, $35 for materials to hook to the water main and pipe the water to the property line and $60 for digging the trench, wh c h though it is sometimes as long as 56 feet, and at others only 10 to "A feet, would reflect the average cost of digging 40 feet from the center of the 80 foot streets. The charge for digging and backfilling 40 feet of ditch is about $1.50 per foot or $60 on the average.
 Contractor Ray James was pre- sent and told the Board that he thought the cost of digging should be born by the system. It was his belief that it was common practice elsewhere for the water system to bear the cost of digging from the water line to the property line. The City Manager. and apparently the Board, did not agree.
 After nearly two hours of discus sion it was decided to go on to other business and consider, at a future meeting, charging the water. user for the actual amount of dig ging rather than fiat rate, even though some would have to dig

City League Cagers Plans Announced

The City Basketball League will start it's schedule about November 18th and will play two nights a week. The deadline for team en- tries in the City Basketball League will be November 1st. Any team desiring to enter this years league should register with Coach Dalberg before the 1st of November. A registration fee of $20 for each team must be paid before that team is considered registered. This fee is necessary to provide funds to buy couple of basketballs for the league, trophies, gym and in cidental expenses.
 The local Army post will put at least one and possibly two teams in the league, Bear Lake and the Nazarine Church have also signified intentions of enter Il g teams. There are also other play CTS now looking for sponsor. It is hoped that possibly six teams will enter the league. If necessary the high school will enter junior varsity team which will exclude the lettermen. It is felt by school officials that the varsity Seahawks have enough of schedule playing in the Railbelt together with some practice games. The Seahawks will. however. play some practice games with City League teams.
 The City Basketball League is part of the adult City recreation program and your support is need ed to make it a success. Also if enough interest is shown, volley. ball league will be started to oper. ate one night week
