Orange Meeting Rockets Monday Lincoln Stops Beatrice In Friday Meet ELEANOR MOSS, WIFE of the Beatrice Country Club's Frank Moss, has been putting in full time at the club this week. Seems Frank has been nursing a bad cold and since the weather has prevented good golfing anyway, Frank decided he'd make use of the weather to get rid of the cold so that he'd be in fine form when the sun finally decides to smile on the golfers again.

A lot of them, too, are champing at the bit. Mrs. Moss reported a nearly empty course Saturday afternoon, The links certainly do look invit-j ing. "Since the recent snow, rains and then warm spell." says Mrs. Moss, "One has almost been able to watch the grass turn from a dirty brown to its present bright green color." ONE OF THE LEADING Navy performers for the Hickam Field, Hawaii, basketball team this season was Frank E.

Ebeling, aviation electronics technician, third class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ebeling, Hanover, Kan. Before enlisting in the Navy during April, 1950, Ebeling attended Hanover High School where he cut quite a figure for Bentley University of Nebraska news service, in announcing the election of three captains, Carl Brasse, Omaha; Ed Husman, Ogallala and Bobby Reynolds, Grand Island, to lead the Cornhsukers next fall, says that it was stated Ed SVeir, captain in 1924 and 1925, was the last captain named by players to serve for a full season.

Beatrice's track squad makes its third straight trip to Lincoln Monday afternoon to participate in a dual track meet with Lincoln Northeast. Coach Willis Jones' thinclads are batting .500 for the season, following a 40-78 whipping at the hands of Lincoln High Friday afternoon. Previously, the Orangemen defeated Teachers' High, another Uneoln team. The Orangemen must be in top shape to clout the Rockets, winner of a Friday afternoon triangular meet with Blair and Ashland in Lincoln. SCORED 91 POINTS Northeast scored 91 points as compared to 38 by Blair and 20 by Ashland.

Stars of the show were Jimmy Haberlan and Ronnie Sleele, former Beatrice boy. Haberlan swept the hurdle races, running the 60- yard highs in :07.9, and the 100- yard lows in ill.6. Steele captured three first places. He sped to a 10-second 100- yard dash (with a brisk wind behind him); clocked the 220 in and broad jumped 20 feet, 2 inches. While the pair of.

Northeast stars were turning in brilliant performances in the northeast part of town, another thinclad was doing even better in another portion of the Capital City. Bill Hawkins, Beatrice's ace cin- dorman. scored 23 of Beatrice's 40 points to lead his team. Bill galloped over the high hurdles in :08.1 and the 120-yard lows in :14.3. He ran into the brisk wind which was blowing out of the northeast.

He spun the discus 120-9 for third in that event and tied for second and third in the high jump with Charles Redmond.

They may have seen the next lightweight champion of the world. Rarely has a touted newcomer come through in a fashion to equal his pre-fight raves. The 20-year old Providence 134-pounder did just 'nat against experienced Charley Riley of St. Louis at the St. Nicholas Arena Friday night.

NINTH ROUND TKO Icy calm and fast with his hands and feet, the Negro lad handed the 28-year old veteran a neat shellacking through the first eight rounds and stopped him in 1:09 of the ninth round of the ten rounder. There were no knockdowns but Araujo stunned Riley in the third, eighth and ninth rounds. Unbeaten in 2V4 years, Araujo racked up his 29th straight victory ar.n his 29th knockout, although it was off the technical variety. His record now is 42 victories and one defeat. He avenged a decision loss to Doc Blanchard in 1949 by belting out Doc in eight rounds six weeks later.

EJ'ES CHAMP Riley, a stubby, 5 foot, 2V4 inch 128-pounder who has met some of the best featherweights and lightweights in the business, said he thought Araujo would give Lightweight Champion Jimmy Carter "a terrific fight and stand a good chfinco of winnig." "I'm ready," said Araujo, the meal ticket of a family of 13. "I've seen Carter fight and I think I have a good chance to beat him." Kay Jensen, former riding champion of Sweden and Denmark, is now a trainer at Hialeah race track, Pick Irvine, All-Detroit high school footballer, has signed with the Detroit Tigers and will be sent to one of their farms. In Step With The Orange And Black BY DON BRANDT "My boys did swell and I'm proud of them." That was one of the first things Beatrice High's gym coach, Don Potter, had to say after his return from Denver. After a short talk with Mr, Potter I found out why he thought his boys had done well. The trio, Burroll McMasters.

Ted King and Ken Kohler, had just attended the Rocky Mountain District AAU gym meet in Denver. With competition from such places as Denver University, Colorado University, Colorado Stale, along with a few more, not counting all the individual entries (because it's open to all amateurs over 16, the three boys placed a sixth, a fifth on the side horse and a first on the parallel bars. Potter said the BHS teamester's points didn't count because, "We are in another district consisting of Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa." It seems that although there is such district it hasn't had a meet for so long that no one knows much about it. Potter said: "That meet in Denver was a swell one, had about SO contestants. I wish our district WRS going so more people around hero could see it." And while talking on big meets and tournaments we said how nice it would be if the state champion basketball team as well as the state champion gymnastics team could meet with other states to see what they had.

It couldn't be called a AAU meet but have it just tor high schools. It sure would increase interest in high school sports but. I guess they are Irving 1o cut down on interests in colleges. Potter said, "To Mid-Westerners there are six basic events in gymnastics: mats, high bar. parallel bars, rings, side horse, and trampoline.

But to folks back East there is another one, "free exercise." This even is a combination of ballet, tumbling, exercises, and just plain muscle work." From all I've heard it must be hard work, but about the most graceful thine in gymnastics. It's scored just like other gym events, form, difficulty and continuity. When I asked Mr. Potter- about next year he said he was losing seven good seniors and things looked rough. I believe that's whnt he said in 1949 when took third in the state.

He said the same thing in 1950 when he won it. And he said it again in '52 when lie won the state. Well, If that's the case let's hope things keep looking rough. Pulls Money Masters Tourney Sees Bsn Even Score On Snead AUGUSTA, Ga. Bantam of the Fairways, Ben Hogan turned on the pressure on the back nine Saturday to pull even with Sammy Snead after 54 holes of the Masters Golf Tournament.

Apparently out of contention after a 39 on the first nine, Hogan began a streak of birdies that brought him a 35 coming in and a 54-hole total of 214. On the same stretch where Hogan began moving, Snead started to slip, He went one over par on three consecutive holes and finished with a 77. Snead, who held first place by three strokes over Hogan beginning the round, is now deadlocked with the little Texan with today's crucial final round coming up. The real winner Saturday was the gusty, cold wind that caused almost every score to skyrocket. There were few good two of them below par.

Gary Middlecoff matched par 72 and spurted Into contention with a 216 strokes behind Snead and Hogan. Actually, Hogan picked up four strokes on Snead In the'last nine holes. Snead was out in stroke better than Hogan, the tournament's defending champion. But the three lapses gave Snead a 39 for the last nine to a one- under-par 35 for Hogan.

(NKA) Only One Way To Stop Clyde; Give Him His Degree-Quick BY JOHN McCALLUM NEW YORK" Bruce Drake has finally discovered way to stop large Clyde Lovellette. "With a June diploma," says Oklahoma coach.

Lanky Lovel- split, right up to his chest. is the six foot nine Kansas basketball center, you w. who established five National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament rec- r-ovellelte ords at Seattle, set a major college three-season mark of 1888 points, and averaged 31 points in the Olympic Tryouts Tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Kansas All-America from Terre Haute, will head the S. Olympic basketball team, which leaves for Helsinki July 8.

The squad consists of teammates Chuck Hoag, Bill Hougland, Dean Kelley, John Keller, Bob Kennoy and Bill Licnhard; National Amateur Athletic Union Champion Peoria's Ron Bontemps, Marcus Frci- borger, Frank McCabe, Dan Pippin and Howie Williams: and Phillips Oilers' Wayne Glasgow and Bob Kurland. 27 NICKNAMES Pcoria's Warren Womblr? will coach the club. Kansas' Dr. Phog Allon will go along as assistant. But this started out as a testimonial to Mr.

Lovcllette, all 21 years and 2-M pounds of him. He has developed into a publicity man's drenm. Jayhawk press agents have piled 27 nicknames on the super senior with the face of an Irish cop nnd the Helen Keller like The Terre sHautR Terror, Colossal Clyde, Cloudburst Clyde, Magnificent Monster and Great White Whale of the Kaw. Lovelletto will go along with the production. Something of a comic, he's the Berle of basketball, keeps the Jayhawks In stitches.

A year ago, when Kansas invaded the east, school officials got the sky-scraping pivot two upper train berths with the head boards knocked out. Lovelletto simply wouldn't fit in the standard size bed. So before turning In, Clyde collared the porter. "Be sure," he said, "to wake up both berths at the same time." Lovellette was virtually unstoppable the last two weeks of the season leading Kansas to the NCAA crown. Against National Invitation Tournament champion LaSallc, he scored 40 points, hit seven nf his first eight attempts.

In the pivot he's as good as Mikan right now." "A terrific prospect," added Red Auerbach, Boston Celtics' coach, "He fools you. He's smart, has quick hands, one of the greatest big mm I've ever seen." Whnt about professional basketball? "Not interested," Lovelletto says.

"The playing career of a pro is short, then where are you? I'd like to play for Phillips Oil- ers." Lovollctte is worried about his height. "I'm only six-nine," he announces. "When I was In high school they used to say I was six-f'oot-10 and slx-11. I think I must be shrinking." Opponents wish his basketball scores would follow suit.
