PLATTS TIES VALLEY The Plattsmouth town football team Sunday again tied with their ancient foes, the Valley, Nebraska, team on the enemy court, the final score being 6 to 6. The Valley team was battling with the wind in their favor and were able to punt into Plattsmouth terri tory, holding the locals for downs and by their battering attack were able to advance to within striking distance of the Plattsmouth goal where on the fourth down the ball was shoved over the line. The Plattsmouth score came as the result of a drive down the field in which the Platts veterans looked much better than their foes and the interference and fight of the local linesmen. Chet Renner, Dick March, Katie. Frank Sedlacek. Louis Svo boda. Bernard Smith, Henry Krejei. Don Schneider and Carl Keil. made it possible for the backtield to advance with the ball. The score was made when George Sedlacek plunged seven yards through the Valley defense for the coveted six points. The game was largely straight football, altho the locals completed a beautiful pass from Herold to March for a great gain. The work of Smith and Svoboda on the line and Herold and Sedlacok in the backfieQd were factors in the scoring as well as in the defense of the locals.
