Omaha High continued its onward march
Of victories by defeating the Counoil Bluffs
team a%Sturday afternoon on Iowa grounds
by the decisive score Of q to O. Council
Bluffs ~rooters. however, were quite salts
fled at the good showing they made against
the strong wearers OF the purple and white
as their team Is composed almost entirely
Of new men and they we're about to dis
band because OF lack Of interest. The show
ing made against Omaha has given them
new life and they hope for better things in
the future.
The Omaha boys showed they had been
well drilled on the finer points of the
game especially on interference on end runs
and in the use of the forward pass. The
latter has been reduced to a science and
wa stried In several different forms, but
was most successful when passed by Klopp
to either Of the ends. on one occasion
Klopp passed the ball to Howard, the
right end on Council Bluffs thirty-yard-
line and Howard went lodging down the
field TO the goal. Although the backs
showed at several critical stages Of the
game, they were unable to make good
gains through the line, the Omaha teamh
gains through the line. The Omaha team
used chiefly open plays. A splendid inter
ference was kept up all through, being es-
pecinlly useful IN the making Of long end
runs. Andrus, light tackle on the Omaha
team, and the biggest man on the team,
found himself placed against a 9O0pound
man. Miller, Council Bluffs left tackle.
The stars Of the team were Aten, captain
ana right tackle. and Bates, fullback. Both
were in the middle OF every scrimmage
and saved their team repeatedly by break
ing into the Omaha plays and t~aclling the
man with the ball. Bates went through
the Omaha line for short gains quite often,
but his evidently lacked the
necessary force to push him through.
Landon. the Council Bluffs quarter, played
q fast game, making many fine tackles.
Council Bluffs was able to keep Omaha
from making any big gains through its
line, but was unable to watch all Of this
end runs, and seemed almost unable to
prevent the working Of forwsrd passes.
