On their way to a near sweep, the Links swimmers cheered the success of swim manager Hoy Richards, who won a 40-yard freestyle match swim with the managers of the other two schools. One of the better wrestling matches was between LHS's Mark Reimers and Gene LaRue of Northeast. The slick Reimers went to work i LaRue like a wolf killing a sheep and had a pin in 1:15.

Top Scrap In another top interest-drawing match Cobe Venner of Lincoln High fought to the wire with Virgil Hunkins of Southeast.

SMASH HIS FACE Expressions of alarm and struggle are seen on the faces of the spectators watching the wrestling action Friday evening in the Lincoln city high school championships.

Causing these reactions is Floyd Colon (dark uniform) who seems to lie grinding the face of his foe, Lincoln Gary Zlab, into the mat. Colon won the 120-pound title with Zlab placing second. But Wesleyan, with Foster McGuire anil I.efty Hixson leading the drive, tied the contest in the filial minutes to send the game into overtime. Marshall Joyce. Kearney veteran, netted a free throw late in the overtime for the NCC victory.

Beavers and Hansen each tallied 20 points to lead the Antelopes. Reed led Wesleyan with 25 points. McGuire hit 18, The victory kept the home floor record unblemished. They have won five straight on their home court, while dropping four out of five on the road. NCC record is now 3-7.

It doesn't make too much difference what happens from here on in, although a spot in the State Tournament would be nice. But Seward High blasted ancient rival York Friday night, an4 what really counts. The score was a decisive, 69-50. Thar She Blows! The annual Donneybrook, which might be in a Class A district tourney later thus month, was a tight affair for one quarter.

Seward forged a narrow, 14-10, lead at the end of the initial eight rnin- iutes. Then the dike crumbled for the visiting Dukes. With each member of the starting five contributing to the flood of Seward baskets, the host Hluejays started doubling up the count. They led 20-10, 24-12, 32-16 and 36-18, By halftime Seward had a comfortable, 38-18, bulge. The doubling stop there.

Seward posted leads of 38-19 and 42-21 before settling for a 51-33 lead at the end of the third quarter.

Four Northeast Hester, Rudy Stoehr, Don Wenzl and Duane in double figures, and they did all the Rocket scoring.

Beatrice also had a good team effort, but it was the clutch shooting of husky Max Martz that kept the Orangemen ini the game. Wayne Hester, catlike senior guard, was the difference. He scored 16 of his 25 points in the last half and did a bang-up job of defensive rebounding. And it was Hester who led the Northeast harge which broke open a tight game early in the third quarter. Northeast could not manage a lead during the first half.

The score was tied five times in the first half. Beatrice took a 32-30 halftime lead on Ron hook shot shortly before the buzzer. The Rockets came out shooting in the third quarter. Hester tied connected on a long shot and ad- crush York.
