Proves Star,

Omaha High school took the scalp of it's
neighbor from South Omaha Saturday
afternoon, trampling over the lads from
the Magic City TO the tune OF "a to o.
Outplayed and Outweighed by the Omaha
eleven, the South Omaha lads struggled
manfully against the piling up OF the score
against them, but found the Omaha team
far too strong for them and we're unable
to score at all.
Both teams played open foot ball in
excess Of anything seen up to date this
season in Omaha. Speedy end runs and
spectacular forward passes were to be
seen following one after another, and
punting was resorted to frequently. Rec
tor the Omaha punter, and Shields, who
booted for the packer lads, were conceded
to be about equal in this branch.
In spite Of the fast playing put up by
both teams the game dragged exceedingly,
wrangling among the players over dis
puted points and slow work Of the referee
causing the spectators to hiss and groan
continually at the sIowness of the game.
1t was evident all through that Coach
Burnett was saving the Omaha men for
the Lincoln contest, which comes next
Saturday Line smashes by Rector and
Andrus, the big tackles, were few and
Klopp, the game little quarter, was only
allowed in few minutes, as 1t was feared
he would injure his leg again. Howes
played an excellent game, far beyond what
was expected OF him. He was outcener-
aled. The plays went offo trifle slowly
and the loss OF Howes at left half was felt
pointedly.
south Omaha shows speed.
South Omaha's gains were made on the
speed Of their plays and the truly scientific
manner in which il had worked out the
forward pass Twice during the game by
number Of forward pass plays and fake
end runs, Omaha found its goal threatened
and only the closest playing stopped the
progress OF the South Omaha end plays.
Omaha's line was inpenetrable to the
enemy's backs, who were very light
Rain, the captain, was one of the stars
I Of the day. His work in carrying the ball
both Ia team formation and in returning
punts reminded Omaha rooters of their
own Klopp. and on defensive work he
proved the Nemesis OF many ~ Omaha
play. Ward and Philip, the two ends. and
Shields the big tackle, also did some ef-

One Of the secrets of the Omaha mems
gains we're the fine offensive work of the
backs on end runs. Coach Burnett had evil

to crawl through for good gains.
1 Bowman RICH half, played not only the
star game OF the day but the star game
OF his foot ball career in yesterdays game.
Time after time he would plunge through
the line for a five or ten-yard gain and
his end runs we're a marvel to the crowd.
The big play Of the day came when Bow

and shaking off several taclSiers and dodg-
ing the others. crossed the goal, having
started from the Omaha ten-yard line, a
run Of ninety-two yards. The score was not
counted. however. because just as he
started one foot had slipped over the side
line.
