The name was. one of the best that has ever been seen in the city and both teams are deserving of the greatest credit for their efforts in the contest that . was close and in teresting from the start. The great er' part of the game was fought in the tenter of the gridiron and only once were the visitors in danger of crossing the Legion goal while the locals twice were in striking dis tance of the Havelock goal, but fail ed to cross over. The first quarter closed with the Ixgion hoys in Havelock territory and facing what seemed to be a sure touchdown but the time saved the visitors and on the opening of the second quarter. A. I). Hell, the husky full back of the Legion drop kicked from the twenty yard line for a field goal and scored the three points that were to spell victory. In the third quarter the Legion came n-ar securing a touchdown when Walling intercepted a pass of the Havelock team and dashed away for a fifteen yard gain, but the l'lattsmouth team was penalized for twenty yards an 1 lot the advantage as Referee Lutes of Creighton col lege, wo officiated, claimed that the Plattsmouth players had resorted to pushing in the attack on the Have lock line. For the local team Hell was the outstanding star of the conflict and his drives into the lines of his op ponents resulted in decisive gains. Although severely kicked in the head during the first few minutes of play, j and with one eye nearly closed, he continued in the game and put over! the..ivJmUng drop kick. Alfred Thom son, center of the Legion team, was also very effective ami had the beefy I'Mve'oek players outr'asred with his skill and speed. Glen and Leslie Nlel and Eugene Lister were also highly successful ir. tackling the Havelock players and several times drove their opponents back for losses of territory. The team as a whole is one of ihe best that has ever appeared in the city and the l'lattsmouth fans an congratulate themselves upon hiving a real team and one that will be hard to defeat.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK THE BANK WHERE YOU FEEL. AT HOME PIATTSMOUTH SAYS GOOD WORD FOR SCHMADER Ernie Holmes, Omaha Promoter Speaks Well of Louisville Lad for His Gameness in Fight. From Monday's Dally. In the sporting department of the World-Herald of yesterday, Ernie Holmes, the Omaha fight promoter. speaks werds of praise for Andy Schmader, the Louisville boxer, who engaged in a bloody Iwuit with Tony Melchoir of Chicago in Omaha a few weeks ago. The article is as fol lows: Andv Schmader, believing in ad vance that he was outclassed, took his chance on a knockout and went ahead to fight Tony Melchoir in their recent encounter, to avoid disap pointing the crowd and to save the liFemen from losing financially, ac cording to a statement made by Er nie Holmes, promoter. Melchoir, a top-notcher, according to Holmes, had about twenty pounds advantage in weight and was in ad dition the star of the Lichtenstein stable. "Had it not been that it was a I enefit I would not have permitted the uneven contest," said Holmes. "As it was. I put it up to Andy and what did he say? 'O. well. Ernie. he said, 'it won't do to disappoint the crowd or beat the firemen out of their money. I'll fight him anyway for five er six rounds anil if I am knocked out. well and good, it will be done fairly and I will really b' the only loser. Let it go ond and don't you worry.' "Incredible as it appeared. ndy had Melchoir all but out three differ ent times, after having himself tak en terrible punishment in being weakened by the giant's vice-like holding and crushing weight which he at all times thrust bodily upon the I,oulsville boy in the clinches." Holmes says both men were guilty of fouls but Sr-hmader's npper:-ut t i n g in the clinches was fairer than Mel choir's holding with one hand and hammering Schmader with the other and his blows, on three occasions. alter the gong rounded. Schmader's act in striking the referee "blinded as he was in the fury of the fight. " should have been overlooked, says Holmes, i - WHITE PREDICTS 256 COX ELECTORAL VOTES New York. Oct. 24.
