Captain Calm Of wendell-PhilIpS is the
hero Of the day, even the Omaha lrooters
being forced TO admit that he was the star
OF the game. His lightning work In carry
ing the bail and taclJling. and his wonder
fui field generalship in managing his team
and his plays to suit the emergencies, were
ell that saved the Chicago eleven from hav-
ting a huge score run on them. Being built
ana appearing much the same in action, he
reminded all who had seen him Of the great
work Of Mcoovern, the little wonder Of the
Minnesota eleven.
Voyle Rector, left tackle for Omaha,
played the game Of his life Thursday and
should be given place close TO Calm in the
honors. His work although not showing
up in such brilliant style, far in ad-
vance OF what could be expected of a high
school man. Rector, Howes and Underhill,
carried tb> ban In line plunges seventy
yards saa one occasion for a touchdown and
ali through the game the big tackle was to
be relied on for a sure gain and It was
seldom that anything got away from within
three positions Of his left tackle.
Chicago Team Has More speed.
As a team Wendell Phillips was con-
ceded to be much speedier than Omaha,
the whole organization starting its plays
with greater speed. The four halfbacks in
their work on end runs did splendidly, only
the good work on Underhil playing far
back OF the line stopping the man carry
ing the ball from making touchdown
time after time. The forward pass as dem
Onstrated by the Chicago lads was good
ground gamer for the first two quarters
and was worked successfully several times
after that
The real specs Of the Chicago backs and
ends did not show up until they got into
defensive playing. Although omaha tried
fewer end runs because E6lopp. the fast
little quarter, had lame knee. those at
tempted ended in dismal failure. The for
ward pass, although on a good system.
was easily solved by them and was Of very
little use to Omaha. The real work Of
Wendell Phillips came in following down
punts, its fast ends doing splendid service
here.
Omahas line was it's salvation and the
downfall OF its opponents. Coach Burnett
had taught the hnemen numerous plays in
tackle and in line plunging formations that
meant steady gains for the backs or on
tackle round. Mac Baldrige, the big CEN
ter, covered two mems space, used as a
floating center and was on hand always
when a line buck OF the Chicago eleven
was started and was better than magnet
when 1t came to finding and recovering a
fumbled ball. Rector and Andrus. the two
tackles, proved mountains of strength and
agility ON defense and hit the line for
steady gains continually. Golden and Nir-
gil Rector held the guard positions we'll,
Rector getting away fors two touchdowns
ON trick plays, Gau and Payne, the ends,
found themselves up against tough prop
osiuoR In the Chicago ends, but held down
their end OF the battle well, Gall becoming
proficient on running down punts.
The Omaha backfield found its mission in
hitting the line for holes, UnderhiIl, Bow
man, Howes and Klopp each getting
through FOR good gains.
