From Monday' Dally Yesterday afternoon at Glenwood the Plattsmouth city football team was defeated by the score of 10 to 0 in a hard fought battle that up un til the last quarter was scoreless and for the greater part of the game seemed doomed to be a tie until the good boot of Harry Hanks planted a drop kick from the twenty-five yard line for the first score of the game. ; The local team found a very un sportsmanlike treatment at the hands of the Glenwood team and the rules used resembled more the far famed Marquis of Queensberry code rather than the recognized football rules and the Iowans were able to get away with a great deal of unneces sarily rough tactics which would have earned the Plattsmouth team a penalty. Harry Hanks was the most import ant and outstanding feature of the game and was the gentleman respon sible to a great extent for the suc cess of the Glenwood outfit as he played a great game and has not di minished in his work as a star on the Glenwood high school team of a few years ago. The two teams were well balanced and played a fine game throughout, the locals doing some very good work in the aerial department and Win tersteen dividing honors with Hanks as a ground gainer, with his forty five yard run, while Fulton on the line was a bright outstanding figure for Plattsmouth and Krejci also did some good tackling for the local team. In the first quarter both teams used the line smashing tactics and battled to an even break, the period ending with the ball on the Glen wood thirty yard line. The second quarter saw McClintic relieving Harvey on the Plattsmouth line and in this quarter the Iowa team gained advantage over the lo cals on a bad fumble which cost Plattsmouth an advantage of the Glenwood twenty yard line. The stonewall defense of Plattsmouth and the tackling of Fulton and Kre jci checked the visitors from gain ing any great ground and the half ended with the ball on Plattsmouth's forty yard line. It was in this quarter that one of the institute city's players saw vi sions of the squared arena around him and slugged Henry of the Platts mouth team and Mas allowed to re main in the game. In the opening of the third quar ter the ball was returned twenty yards by Plattsmouth and some very heavy line smashes by both teams failed to gain ground and the third period ended with the ball in the center of the field. The last final quarter opened with an electrifying end run by Winter steen for forty-five yards which was one of the most brilliant plays of the game. The gain, however, was with out fruit as teh ball was later punted back into the center of the field and on a very costly fumble by the locals the Glenwood team was brought down into the Nebraska territory ter ritory and on the downs the first score was made when Hanks drop kicked from the twenty five yard lnie for three points. The touchdown of Glenwood oc curred in the last four minutes of play when Hanks broke from the ranks of his team and tore through Plattsmouth on an end run for the coveted touchdown, the locals appar ently being unable to check him and to this player was also given the honor of making the goal kick. There was a very large attendance from this city at the game and for an hour after the game the highway was filled with the cars of Platts mouth people returning which kept Jack Richardson and the ferry on the go for the remainder of the afternoon. RAIL CHIEFS OPPOSE G00LID6E RATE PLAN Committee on Way to Tell President Freight Cut Won't Increase Ex ports or Help Farmer. SUCH IS FAME From Wednesday's Iaily Officer William Heinrichsen of the night police force now realizes how fleeting is the fame of man as the re sult of a rather amusing mistake in identity made by the ladies of the Woman's club. Mr. Heinrichsen, who. with Officer Detlef, does the pa trolling of the streets during the night, was rather surprised to receive a message by phone announcing that the committee of the Woman's club which had in charge the raising of funds for the paving of the cemetery road was ready to start out and de sired to know just what was desired of them and how to proceed with the work that the city council had asked them to perform. The officer was rather puzzled to know why he bad been called upon as his business with the cemetery has not been very ex tensive, but thinking perhaps that there might be some matters requir ing the police services at the ceme tery he responded to the invitation to attend the meeting of the com mittee. He arrived while the ladies were discussing the matter and quietly seated himself until the mem bers of the committee asked what he desired in the way of co-operation on their part, that they, as members of the Woman's club, felt that he as chairman of the committee should have- the directing power In the work. Bill hurriedly ran over in his mind comimttees on which he had served in the past but could recall none relating to cemetery work, al tho in his time he had been chair man of the board of directors of the Haymakers. He sparred for time to try and get straightened out and then confessed to the ladies that he was at sea as to what committee they had reference to. Finally it was announced that he was figured as chairman of the cemetery committee of the city council, and then a great light broke on both the ladies and the policeman and it was announced by Mr. Heinrichsen that this honor belonged to Councilman James Hen derson of the fifth ward and Oflicer William Heinrichsen and all of the participants in the conference had a hearty laugh over the mistake and the ladies vowed that they would se cure the right man the next time. New York. Oct. 30. Presidents and executives of 100 railroads with lines ramifying throughout the coun try, called together today to hear :i statement by Samuel Rea. president of tne Pennsylvania railroad, of President Coo'.idge's views on revis ion of freight rates on coal anl .grain, drafted their reply to t!ie president's suggestions and sent it to Washington, it was unofficially learned from a reliable source this cfternoon. The reply drafted by the railroad executives, according to the unoffi cial report, expressed an attitude unfavorable to the suggestions Presi dent Coolidge is said to have made Mr. Rea and which the president of the Pennsylvania railroad explained to the assembled railway men today. The reply, it was stated, was en trusted to a committee which was sent to Washington. It was believed it would be placed in the hands of President Coolidge by, Thursday. The railwaymen. it was under stood, took the stand that a reduc tion in freight rates on grain for ex port would not increase tne aemami for grain in Europe and would not help the American farmers get rid of their supply.
