The score wrs T to 0 in the final result but in the contest the Platts mouth team had the best of the play ing and was threatening throughout the game to score on the Otoeans. The purple and gold setmed to lack the fire of former years fn their play ing and aside from the work of Chapman, quarterback of the City, their portion of the game was not as spectacular as in other lineup? that the Nebraska City school ha? boasted.

In the second quarter of the game Plattsmouth was threatening the goal of the purple and gold as the locals held the ball in the enemy ter litory ail the first half. With the nnrrow margin of five yards separat ing the blue and white from the Oteans goal the half took from them the change of making the goal. In the third quarter Nebraska City largely through the end run? of Chapman, succeeded in bringing the ball dangerously near the Platts mouth goal and from 1 the twenty yard line f the locals :ai attempt maiH Jm k3 tk .i!l&aijvija; short by a few inches. With the game a matter of few and very few moments at that, the Plattsmouth team snatched the vic tory from their opponents. The ball was sent by the good and trusty leg of "Jumbo" Smith to the shadow of the Nebraska City goal posts, where the return of Nebraska City wa? checked. As the purple and gold lined up for th play that won!' attempt to trr and take the ball out of the danger zone, a costly fumble las the wet and slippery bail war flipped back, resulted in Frederic!
