Omaha did not play wonderful
game considering the condition of
the field and the fact that they were
zoutweighed several pounds to the
man. King. Faulk and Eudaly in
the backfield play fast and bril-
liantly and on dry field the results
might have been different. but in
the mud and slush the Fort Omaha
line was unable to hold until their
plays could lie executed.
J The south half of the field was a
frozen subsoh covered by three
inches of Shiny slippery mud and
most of the game was played in that
portion of the field, making the ball
hard to handle, preventing well exc
scuted plays and almost prohibiting
the use of the forward pass.
n The Fort Omaha soldiers and
band were in the grand stand root
ing their best, led by cheer-leader
who was always in action. in fact so
much so that he was the envy of
5000 fans who had to, sit still and
shiver.
