LEGION TEAM
WINS VICTORY
OFF HAVELOCK
FAR-FAMED BOILERMAKERS UN
ABLE TO PENETRATE STONE
WALL FRONT FOR GAIN
From Monday's Dallv
The American Legion football team
bad its I, apt ism in tin .game yester
day afternoon at tin1 Imse ball park
w hea they triumphed over the sup
posedly iii vincible Havelock l.oiler
makers by a store of :j.to 0.
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 line- up of the locals

One of our prominent and well

lost his bearings as when the train
pulled into LaPlatte the merchant
was about to alight when several
parties on the train informed him
that it was the metropolis of Sarpy
county and not Plattsmouth that they
were stopping at. The gentleman in.
question is one that has never been
known to indulge in anything strong

During the pioneer days in Ne

part in the history of Cass county,
and has always been a prominent fig

organization he held the rank of 1st
Lieutenant and on being mustered
out of the service of the federal gov

last territorial legislature of Nebras
ka that met at Omaha, January 10.
1S67. and had an important part in
the forming of the laws of the new
state. In politics Captain Wiles has
always affiliated with the republican
party but has never allowed his par
tisan feeling to shake his friendship
with the associates of other politi
cal belief than himself.
In his youth our old friend was
a member of the Quaker, faith but
when the Christian church was or
ganized in Plattsmouth some fifty
years ago he united with that faith
and his since been a devout member
of that church.
