Result of the Clash Between Two

From Friday's Dally.
One of the largest crowds of the
reason saw the Piattsmouth and
Weeping Water high school football
teams go to a 7 to 7 tie yesterday
afternoon at the Eagle baseball park.
The affair had been scheduled as a
double header with the American Le
gion team and the Mc-Kenney Den
tists of Omaha as the openers of the
bill, but the visitors came not, and
after a long delay it was deeded that
the high school teams would go
, ahead with their game which had

lield and showed np in splendid
sl.ape. hitting the line for big gains
and playing a great defensive game,
v.ni as he is now only a freshmen
will become a very clever player for
the team by the next season. Chase

fensive plays of the game.
The visitors secured their tally
from a long end run and the riow

tion enabled them to put over the
tying first touchdown of the game.
Weepin;

th very shadow of the goal posts in
the first few minutes of play but
were unable to break through the
wcnderful defensive playing of the
local. The visitors line was weak

defensive game downing the visitors
