Omaha Wins
Game 47 to 7
Tho local football team went down
to defeat yesterday before the Omaha
eleven by the decisive score of 47 to 7.
The single touchdown by tin! local men
was made in tho first five minutes of
play by Ilyan. and McWilliams kicked
goal. Tho North Platte boys played a
perfectly clean game and were not oncj
penalized, while Omaha was penalized
a total of fifty-five yards.
After the first touchdown by the
North Platte bovs tho playing was
nearly all in their territory. Tho
Bcoro was tied in tho first quarter and
at the end of the first half stood 21 to
7. Omaha aggregated altogether
seven touchdowns nnu five goals. Most
of the gains b both teams were made
in open field plays and tho forward pass
was used to a large extent.
With this victory, Omaha lays claim
to the state championship and refuses
to play any post season games, although
several of tho fastest teams in the
stato havo asked for them. Among
these is Beatrice who played Omaha
last year and lost tho game under
questionable circumstances. Beatrice
would like to "get blood" but tho
Omaha aggregation seems indisposed
to give them satisfaction.
Union Thanksgiving Services.
' The Union Thanksgiving services,
held yesteaday morning at 10 o'clock
at the Episcopal church, were well at
tended and all enjoyed a good program.
Rev. C". B. Harman, pastor of the
Lutheran church, was tho speaker and
gave a pleasing half-hour discourse on
tho subjoct "Giving Him Thanks." Be
fore the sermon, a song and praise
service was held for an hour. Special
music was rendered by the Episcopal
choir and was especially deserving of
mention.
