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 thanked the Lincoln High school
to o. yesterday afternoon The winning
point came in the first two minutes Of the
second quarter OF the game, and Omaha
had become champion again Lincoln held
the bail on its own three-yard line and
punted out for thirty yards IInderhil
carried the bali back fifteen yards on
delayed pass play and a forward pass
from Klopp TO Gail and put the ball over
the goal for 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 I1lopp, quarterback of Omaha, far
exoeIied any man on either team, his Ions
returns after the bail being cheered con-
tinualiy. When all seemed hopeless F6lopp
would take the bali and squlrm 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 Kiopp, 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 II for
gains OF five yards up nearly every plan.
The very few times line tushes we're
tried by Lincoln failure followed, but in
open plays IL gave the local lads some
pointers. Several times when line shift
plays were tried Lincoln almost got away
for touchdown and long gains Of twenty
five and thirty-five yards were made II
the visitors had had enough OF the trick
plays they might easily have scored on
Omaha, but they were soon obliged to re-
sort to punting when the ball came 70

one notable time when Lincoln held Il

but could progress no farther. Dow and
underhiil and Rector consistently made
gains for the Omaha eleven but none Of
the backs. except Klopp ON few occas-
ions, were able 20 circle the Lincoln ends
for any sain.
For Lincoln, l.. Mann and hts brother. e.
Mann. both played star foot ball Hartman
and Hugg, the two halfbacks played fast
foot ball, their interference on end runs
and their manner Of following down long
punta being most businssslike and effec-
tive one.
BY the victory OF Omaha IN shutting the
Lincoln lads out by 5 to 0. Omaha High
school Is entitled to the championship OF
Nebraska for 1910. Omaha claims the
