SOLDIERS BEATK.V BV COLLEGIANS Indoor Foot Ball Match does to the Omaha Commercial College. It was us hard a game as getting elected to anything on the democratic ticket, but the Omuha Commercial college captured tne positions of the Fort Crook soldiers In the Auditorium last night to the tune of 21 to 17. A small crowd mw them do it. At the beginning the soldiers thought it was as easy us the Yalu river, and so did every body else. Hut as the game went along the Commercials got together and lost no unapplied strength. They also seemed to be in better condition than the soldiers and where during the first half the fighters could plow them up and they could not make so much in return, later they were able to teur. the military line to pieces and were not held for downs. It was a very close squeek, however, and with only aeven minutes to pluy the soldiers were 1 ahead. The locals won the game with Just thirty five seconds of time to spare. The soldiers have developed a quite com plicated and scientific defense, and had they been able to hold their ground would have had anaeasy time. They used a num ber of double and delayed pass plays and also called men back of the Una to add weight to their attacks. The locals did not attempt anything fancy, but depended largely on the old fashioned tactics. Neither side attempted to kick and In fact the Auditorium hardly admits of this. Both sides failed freely of getting goals. For the collegions Thomas frequently stepped over and blocked half of the line while the bull was going around the other wav. urummy, Congdon. Uregnry and Welch were the sround gainers. The ant. dler hacks were all aggressive and good ground gainers. Miller also showed up weu. woth sides were much stronger on the offensive than tha defensive. i na lineup: COLI.EOB SOLDIERS.

Zelda Dameron la portrayed by Mr. Nicholson aa a type of young American womanhood with a peculiar admixture of motives and methods, but by no means too different from the youthful society miss we meet in real life to grata upon the reader as unnatural. She Is an heiress who Inherits from her mother a grievance against her father, and a fortune, which he dissipates, while her family pride condones and covers up the crime to protect the name and carry out her ideal of filial duty. The selection of the son of her mother's rejected suitor for the hero's part makes a fine foil for Zelda. the contrast between their temperaments and points of view being well worked out. Among the other characters are a psalm singing hypocrite of a father, a guardian angel uncle, a so ciety dame aunt, a hot headed army officer, a poor but honest working girl cousin, an elderly lawyer df - the old school and a sporty get-rlch-qulck promoter of the new school.
