Talk OF Third Game,
Watched by a cheering crowd Of 5000
people, the Omaha High school retrieved
it's defeat OF two weeks ago at Lincoln
and blanlsed the Lincoln High school. s
to o yesterday afternoon. The winning
point came IA the first two minutes Of the
second quarter OF the game. and Omaha
had become champion again. Lincoln held
the bali on its own three-yard line and
punted out Tor thirty yards Underhin
carried the bah back fifteen yards on
delayed pass play and forward pass
from TSlopp TO Gali and put the ball over
the goal Tor Omaha. winning the champion
ship for Omaha Of Nebraska high schools
Leslie Mann, the star quarter Of the lin
coin squad, saved the Lincoln men time
and again from being scored against His
long punts down the field carried the ball
out OF danger each time as the Lincoln
goal was threatened.
Contrary to expectations, however. Mann
was not to be the star player Of the day.
Walter Klopp quarterback OF Omaha far
exoelIed any man on either team. his Ions
returns after the bali being cheered con-
tinually When all seemed hopeless Klopp
would take the ball and squirm through
the Lincoln men for a gain OF anywhere
from ten to twenty yards. In generalship
Of the team Mann was not to be compared
with Klopp, the Omaha boy using his head
all the time IN directing his game.
Lincoln played decidedly a defensive
game throughout the whole contest Its
one object was TO hold the omahans down
10 no score and to stop those heavy line
PUSHES but in spite Of their Efforts the
Omaha backs found big holes In the capital
city hoys line and went through Il for
gains OF five yards up nearly every PLAY
The very few times line PUSHES were
tried by Lincoln failure followed, but IN
open plays it gave the local lads some
pointers. Several times when line shift
plays were tried Lincoln almost got away
for a touchdown and long gains Of twenty
five and thirty-five yards were made. II
the visitors had had enough Of the trici
plays they might easily have scored OF
Omaha. but they were soon obliged to re
sort to punting when the ball came Z
them.
Omaha Plays straight Game.
Omaha played chiefly straight foot ball
puncturing the line for steady gains. Tit
one notable time when Lincoln held !
was at the end Of the first quarter. whei
Omaha got the ball 70 the three-yard line
but could progress no farther. Dow ant
Underhill and Rector consistently mad
gains for the Omaha eleven. but none o
the backs, except klopp ON few occas
IONS were able 10 circle the Lincoln end
for any gain.
For Lincoln l.. Mann and his brother, {
Mann, both played star foot ball Hartmal
and Huge, the two halfbacks, played fas
foot ball, their interference on end run
and their manner OF following down LON
punts being most businesslike and effec
tive one.
