MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
Very satisfactory progress is be
ing made with the construction of
the Chicago avenue sewer. The work
of effecting 'a connection with the
Pearl - street sewer required much
time and necessitated some very deep
digging. Now several hundred feet
of the new sewer are in and back
fill practically completed as the dig
ging crew keeps well out ahead of
the stone masons engaged in laying
the sidewalls and arched dome over
the large fi-foot sewer and the force
that is engaged in pouring the bot
tom of rock bound concrete.
Under most favorable condtions, a
hundred feet a week can be com
pleted, which means it will take at
least seven and up to ten months to
complete the job 'out to the Louis
ville road:
There arc several hundred feet of
open ditch at the squth . end that
have proven menacing to the Chi
cago avenue pavement, nearly under
mining tha curb at some points and
the work is considered necessary to
save the roadway there. It will be
a great improvement to have the
new underground sewer replace this
unsightly open ditch.

Platters Again
Trim Pioneers;
Score 42 to 34
Hayes, Rebal and Reed High Scorers
for Flatters in Game at Local
Gym Last Evening.
From Wednesday's Dally
The blue pantied warriors . ot
Coach B. A. Hoffman again rolled
back the hopes of the. Nebraska City
Pioneers last evening at the local
court by the score of 42 to 34 and in
a contest that found the Platters
out. in front except for a few
moments of the opening quarter.
Nebraska City scored first on the
basket of Metz but this was followed
by free throws by Smith and Wall
and then the battle was on with
Rebal and Reed scoring for the locals
and Williams and Metz for the visi
tors. The score at the end of the
first quarter was 10 to 8 for the
Platters.
In the second stanza of the combat
Hayes was really sizzling and rang
In several beautiful shots with Smith
and Reed sustaining the captain in
adding to the scoring of the blue
and white. When the half time ar
rived Piattsmouth had acquired a
21 to 15 lead over their guests.
The third quarter brought the
Platters definitely out in the money
and the fast and cleancut ball hand
ling of the locals had their oppon
ents checked and in the battle for
the ball after long tries the locals
were able to mass many scores,
Hayes, Rebal and Reed were in on
the scoring that added to their lead.
In the final quarter of the game
the Pioneers, led by Metz, Williams
and Carpenter attempted to stem the
lead that had been acquired by the
Hoffmanites but without success. In
this final period of the game Captain
Hayes was shooed to the showers on
the foul route, followed in a few
moments by Williams of Nebraska
City and Wall of the locals. Allan
White, replacing Wall, nicked Ne
braska City for a nice close in shot in
the last moments.
Throughout the game Wall was a
tower in the defense of the Platters
and Jacobs in the latter part of the
game proved effective in checking
the Pioneer rallies and also in the
development of the fast offensive of
the locals. y
, The scoring of the locals vitas 'led
by-Hayes with 15 points, followed
by Reed with. 11 and Rebal with 8,
but in the victory' every member of
the team had a large and vital part
in their excellent game.
The contest was refereed by Frank
Knapple, . veteran athletic mentor of
Central high school of Omaha.
In the opening contest the Ne
braska City seconds won 28 to 18
from the junior Platters.

IMPROVES ENGLISH COURSE
One of the most difficult subjects
that high school students find to mas
ter in college is the freshman year
of English. Perhaps in this , field
there has been more failures than
in any other one department.
. In recognition of this problem
Milo Price has organized his Senior
English course, making it equal to
the . freshman year English course
in the university. This time will be
spent on grammar and theme writ
ing with special emphasis on theme
material. This course has been de
veloped largely through letters to
students who are now attending the
University of Nebraska and other
colleges. To date, two themes have
been turned in by each student and
the students are really coming in
direct contact with some of the uni
versity requirements.

Platters Run
Rampant Over
College View
Blue and White . Roll Up Score of
36 to 16 in Well Played Game
23 to 4 at Halftime.
The Plattsmouth high school quin
tet of Coach n. A. Hoffman visited
College View Saturday evening to
emerge victors by a score of 36 to
16 in a well played game and in
which they had the Viewmen on the
run all the way.
The Platters had a smooth offense
working and their floor play had the
Lincoln team badly outclassed and in
a quandary most of the evening as
the Platters paced by Hayes, Rebal
and Smith carried on the chief artil
lery practice at the basket. Coach
Hoffman used his full string of play
ers in the battle and the younger
members of the squad were able to
get in and show their stuff.
The Platters took an early lead
and at the half time had massed 23 to
4 against the foe. The blue and
white made many very beautiful un
der the basket shots while College
View was forced into long and erratic
attempts at the hoop that were fruit
less. Captain Robert Hayes, Ronald
Rebal and Ed Smith, a former Lin
coln school boy, were the chief
scorers, Hayes and Smith having
eleven each and Rebal ten.
The box score of the game was as
