PLAY BRILLIANT FOOT BALL

Omaha HIGH wound uD one of the
most brilliant season in the history
of the school yesterday by defeating
the St. Joseph MO- High school
eleven IS to 7.
Omaha gave the fans wide as
sortment of foot ball from line plung
ing to the most brilliant of open foot
ball. Every trick play that Coach
Mulligan has taught his proteges dur
ing the last week was tried and
worked out to perfection. The hon
ors were divided evenly among the
members of the Omaha tetam, Shop
herd getting two touchdowns, More
arty and, and Peterson and Maxwell
one each. The Omaha line, several
members of which played their last
game for the high school yesterday,
put up gritty battle against their
heavier opponents, while the backs
were ripping up and down the field
for good gains. Paynter and Phillips
on tackle-bac k plays never failed to
gain and were called upon numerous
times to make first downs. Krogh at
center put up one of the best games
he has played this year. Pearson and
Shepherd at the wing positions played
well on defense and pulled down
many long passes for long gains.
St. Joseph had pair of halbacks in
Sellers and Meyers who carried the
ball consistently for gains, while Stat
er, the giant tackle, kept the gains
through his position down to mini
mum.
Chuck" Morearty, playing his last
game for the high school, played in
the same brilliant form he has dis
pplayed throughout the season.
"Morey' made only one touchdown
yesterday, which is rather unusual,
but he brought the ball within scor-
ing distance on numerous occasions
and his teammates took it the re-
naming yards.

Omaha kicked off, and St. Joe punt
ed and recovered the ball on Oma-
has twenty-yard line following
tumble by Maxwell. The ball was
advanced to the 15-yard line, where
Omaha held, and drop-kick was at
tempted on the last down, failing by
only few feet. The quarter ended
with the ball in Omaha's possession
on their 40-yard line.
The second touchdown was scored
early in the second quarter. A long
forward pass, which Shepherd got
possession of after it hahd bounced
out OF the waiting arms of an Omaha
player and had been touched by an
opponent, was responsible for it.
Maxwell kicked goal. Morearty ran
the ball around right end and Gov
cred the intervening fifty yards to the
goal line, but the touchdown was not
allowed because Phillips was caught
holding. But "Morey" was not to be
denied, and after Maxwell had taken
the ball to the l5-yard line, he swung
around right end for the remaining
distance and the third touchdown.

ing was doned uring the remainder
