SOUTH JUMPS. A rapidly improving Omaha South team today holds the fourth spot and bids fair to better its ranking as the season progresses. Cornie Collin's Packers, who threw a scare into Lincoln's top ranking team before yielding a 27 29 verdict two weeks ago, spanked Sioux City Central, 45 36, in their only start last week. Top ranking Lincoln passed two of its toughest barriers and cinched the Missouri Valley conference championship in registering victories No. 13 and 14.

The unbeaten Links dropped Sioux City East 43 31 Friday night, then came back Saturday to score a handy 28 16 win over Sioux City Central. Second place Creighton Prep kept pace with a 48 34 win over Omaha Tech. It was the Junior Jays' 11th straight victory. Norfolk and Fremont each fell a notch as a result of last week's play. Norfolk dropped a 40 41 heartbreaker to Sioux City East and skidded to sixth place.

Fremont fell to seventh after squeaking past an in and out Grand Islund team, 21 20. BOYS TOWN WINS, The Fremont win over Grand Island threw the eastern division of the Big Ten into a merry scramble. Fremont, Grand Island and Norfolk, each with a single loss, are now tied for first place. Boys Town continued its winning ways to move up a step into eighth ranking. STdp Pal rang's charges handed Schuyler its second defeat, 37 28, after trampling Jefferson, 48 21, earlier in the week.
