achieved an easy victory yesterday at
Dietz park, Nebraska City High school be-
ing smothered by sight touchdowns, one
goal from field and four goals from touch
downs. The final score was As to 0.
The game served to show that Omaha
High school will be a formidable PROPOSE
ton in the academic class this year, and
also demonstrated a big Improvement over
the work in the Plattsmouth contest Of
last Saturday. In the open game in par
tioular a grade Of playing was revealed
we'll in advance of what might have been
expected at this stage of the season. In
addition, the punting of Thomas was note
worthy, this freshman kicker getting fifty
yards on the average. He may be a veri-
table find, for he is six feet two inches tall
and weighs 172 pounds, although he is only
10 years old.
Students and faculty members of the high
school, including Principal Graft, were pres
ent in numbers and Loyalty cheered the
team.
Omaha scored its first points on a drop
kick from the twenty-yard line by Captain
Mckinney, who booted the ball over the

good at running the ball back, the Gilmore

game.
The Omaha lineup presented several
changes in the second half, Coach Cher
rington putting in a faster back field and
making several experiments in the line.
Mckinney went from end to half, Thomp-
son to tackle, Gardner taking his place at
full; Lehmer replacing Klopp and Nash
substituting E%ntricken. snappier play by
the back field resulted and a weaker de-
tense in the line. Nebraska City was now

Nebraska City played more creditably
than the score indicates. Against a heavier
team they should have been playing a more
open game, but had not expected to play
here until Thursday, and had been prac.
