Norfolk 0, Oakland o.

In the best played and most ex-
citing game of football in which the
Norfolk high school eleven has this
season participated and in a game
which was declared by spectators to
rank up with the Omaha-Lincoln
game played at Lincoln recently, Nor
folk and Oakland found themselves
unable to score.
The game was clean exhibition
from start to finish. The Oakland
eleven was declared to have been the
best team that Norfolk has been up
against this eason. Norfolk carried
the ball little farther than the visit
ors, but the latter were even snapper
than Norfolk in open and spectacular
plays. But the game ended to 0.
After the game the Oakland players
were given an informal reception at
the high school. The different play
ers were the guests of members OF
the Norfolk team for the night.

to remain until Reed could be wired

Police Peters was then called in.
Hickerson was unable to account for
all of the funds in the shop, but sur
