The Wayne lligh Blue Devils opened their bas- ketball season which led them to the State Class BH Championship by racking llartington 64 to 37 The starting five were Larry Ilofeldt, Glen Houder- sheldt, Larry Tietgen, Don Wightman and Bob Schwarzenbach. Ilofeldt was high point man. Wayne staged a brilliant exhibition of scoring power and team play at Tekamah which resulted in an 87 to 52 victory. Dahl and Hofeldt led the at- tack with 15 and 20 points respectively. The re- serves had a chance to show their power throughout the game. ln the third game of the season, Wayne squeezed by Norfolk 55 to 53, coming from behind to win. Dahl's points in the fourth quarter helped clinch the victory, as l'lofeldt again led the scoring. The finish of the game was not as close as the score might indicate. Norfolk made a basket near the close of the game to close the margin to 2 points. The Blue Devils copped their fourth straight victory by downing Plainview. The score was 66 to 41 with Larry Hofeldt as high point man with 29 points. Wayne was hitting 37 per cent of its shots. Pierce was swamped by Wayne 101 to 36 as Wayne High made a new school scoring record. The Blue Devils had no trouble whatsoever win- ning the game. The reserve team played half of the game. The high scorers were Hofeldt-, Dahl, and lloudersheldt and the rest of the points were dis- tributed among the remaining players. The Blue Devils showed their defensive ability as they scored an easy 85 to 50 victory over Madison. llofeldt lead the scoring attack with 23 points and Wayne controls the boards in the District Tournament finals against Pender. Bob Schwarzenbach, No. 42, leaps high in the air as Glen Houdersheldt, No. 22, gets in position for a pass. Jerry Hendrickson added 13 points. This victory put Wayne in first place in the West Division of the Husker Conference. Despite one of Wayne's worst performances of the basketball season, the Blue Devils swept to their second Husker Conference win by defeating Stanton, 61 to 42. Glen Houdersheldt scored 18 points to be high point man. Wayne was handicapped by poor ball handling and cold shooting. Good outside shooting by Schwarzenbach, Wight- man, and l-loudersheldt brought the Blue Devils their third Husker conference victory as Neligh fell 80 to 58. Hofeldt and Houdersheldt pacedl the scoring attack. Wayne was hitting 50 per cent of its shots in the first half while Neligh was hitting a cold 17 per cent. The Blue Devils racked South Sioux 82 to 65 to win their ninth straight game. South Sioux used a tight press throughout the game as they committ- ed 28 fouls. Wayne made this factor pay off as they dunked 26 of 45 free throws. Houdersheldt and Hofeldt paced the scoring attack with 17 and 38 points respectively. Blair fell in a ragged tilt, 72 to 53 as Larry Hofeldt paced the team with 27 points. A good job of defensive playing was shown by Schwarzenbach and Wightman. Blairwas handicapped by the loss of three regulars during their contest with Wayne. The first defeat of the season was handed to Wayne by Omaha Holy Name who won 54 to 45. Wayne was handicapped by a 6 foot 7 inch senior opponent. The team was having trouble in getting the rebounds and hit a low percentage of their shots although Larry Hofeldt was very accurate with his ..52-
