On a twofnight stand at Sioux City, Iowa, the Red and Black lost two tilts, 5038 to East and a thriller to Central 3463. Falls City was nosed out 32f30 by the Links. Dave Weber sank a free throw to down the Iowa State champs, Abraham Lincoln, 5261, the followf ing week end. Hastings was mauled 5941 as Sloan hit for 20 counters. In the last game of the regular season, Hanscom's 17 points and Jones, 16 were not enough to outlast a highly inspired McCook five as Lincoln went down to defeat 6255. Dean Sloan, Links center, reaches high above two North Platte defenders to notch 2 points in Lincoln's thrilling 52f5'1 victory over the Bulldogs. Ladd Hanscom, scrappy Lincoln guard, appears ready for action. Lincoln High copped the Regional Tourney trophy and much prestige. In the opening round of play Lincoln rambled over Fairhury 62f40 with a beautiful fast break. Then came the Links' rivals, Northeast. The Red and Black continued their giant killing, knocking off the Rockets 4965. In an afternoon tilt in the State Meet 9,000 excited fans witnessed one of the most exciting games of the 1951 tourney. Witli the game close, Sloan tied North Platte's 51 points with a fast set' up. Then came Dave Jones. He calmly stepped to the freefthrow line, and with the crowd raising the rafters, he hit. Fans cheered the team with a thrillf ing 5261 victory in the air. The Links engaged Omaha Benson in the semifinals and were out' lasted 4Of32. The starting ive, backed by such able subs as Jennings, Kostos, Olson, Petrie, and Weber, who often hit important baskets when they were needed, brought praise and glory to themselves and Coach WCjVl1Hd for an honorable 1951 season. Dean Sloan grabs in vain for the basketball from a Benson player while another Bunnies' cager appears to be apply' ing a football block to Ted Forke. Benson won 40-32.
