Beechner, coupled with the strong fighting aggressive- ness of the players, enabled the 1931-'32 basketball team to successfully dispose of one of the most difficult schedules in the history of the school. The team won twelve of the sixteen contests engaged in as well as defeating the alumni for the first time in seven years. Two of the four lettermen who reported to Coach Beechner at the beginning of the season. were vet- erans of last- year's team, and, around these men, the nucleus of the team was built. The remaining play- ers on the first squad had little or no previous experience in the art of tossing goals. As already mentioned, Jackson was victor in the annual game with the alumni. This was the first game of the season, and the final score was 16 to 11. The first scheduled game of the season was with the Kearney qumt. This sharp-shooting team won by a 28 to 18 score. The next opponents to be played were the cagers trom Fairbury. This game ended with Jackson on the long end of a 22 to 15 count. The state champions, the Nebraska School for Deaf, after three even periods of basketball, managed to ring up enough points in the last quarter to down the Red and White quintet by a score of 16 to 13. Again this year as last year, the Jacksonites staged a last stanza rally to defeat Coach Dwight Thomas' Hastings crew, after a hectic first three quarters battle, to the tune of 21 to 17. In the next game played, Coach f'Pop Kline's fine Crete team kept its slate clean by nipping Jackson in a last period spurt by a score of 19 to 9. After the game at Crete, the Jackson cagers seemed to find new life, for Beatrice, College View, Wy- more, Lincoln, and Havelock were defeated by a flashy passing attack that netted manyfset-ups. The high-light of these five games was the annual battle Wlth Lincoln high. This game was attended by one of the season's largest crowds, and be- cause of the equalness of the two teams, the game was a thriller from start to finish, the final count being 20 to 15. Jackson was trying to boost its winning streak to six games at the Bethany tilt, but an early lead built up by the Maroons, managed to 3 . 2 Q subdue the Beechnermen by a score of 17 to 15. Again Jackson went on ., , a rampage, this time winning from Cathedral, 23 to 9 and taking Lincoln my Reserves 16 to 13, also winning a return game with Havelock, 11 to 7.
