The Plattsmouth city football
team which was to have played at
Atlantic, Iowa, on Sunday found on
their arrivel there that the football
team of that place had been all "wet"
as to the time of the game and the
result was that the game was not to
be played until Monday as a part of
the American legion Armistice day
celebration.
Trought the kindness of William
Baird, superintendent of the loca'
shops, where several of the players
are employed, the locals were able tc
go over yesterday to meet the Iowa
team.
The result of the conflict was that
Atlantic was the winner by the score
of 13 to 0 in a hard fought game and
in which the penalities imposed on
the Plattsmouth team by the referee
caused them to lose several good
scoring chances.
In the opening portion of the game
the locals played a much better game
than 'the Iowa team but on one oc
casion when in striking distance of
the Atlantic goal, Frank Krejci wa?
hooked by the referee for roughing
and the ball moved back twenty-five
yards and lost the chance to score.
In the Atlantic lineup was "Cow
boy" Kutsch, for two years one of the
stars cf the University of Iowa team
and one of the leaders in the Big
Ten and who was the chief factor in
the winning of the game at Atlantic
