Glen wood and Blue Devils tie Up 13 Alike Plattsmouth Teams Make Good Start But Tied up as Bams Score Freak Touchdown .By Bernard Ulrich Coach Stewart's debut was a suc cess as his boys came through with a . tie. The game conditions were better . than expected. The sod was damp but it didn't slow up fast backs. Both teams put fleet feet as well as flipper leather on the field. Platts mouth held the uphand throughout the game but showed a leaky pass defense and one boner gave Glen wood a tie. ' The blue devils also must build more reserves. The game was scout ed by Vailed with Hollins, Rankin, King Growcock witnessing it. Platts mouth was well represented and the fans saw the boys in the new pants for the first time. Plattsmouth scored in the first quarter with 5 minutes gone. White kicked off after having won the flip and Joe Gradoville recov ered a fumble, and ran for touchdown but a penalty nullified the run. Glenwood punted short to the 39 where White swung end for 28 yards to the 9 line. Plattsmouth bogged down, Glenwood lost the fumbled ball. Vroman recovered on the Glen wood 13. White scored around end and drove over tackle for the extra point. Plattsmouth scored again in the 2nd quarter when Vrornan who played a great game at end tossed Hayes for a 11 yard loss. A weak punt put the ball on the 49, and White runing wild refused to be stop ped and finally scored. His try for extra point failed. In the 3rd quarter Glenwood went to the 1 yard line on a 41 yard pass play, faking a reverse Moore whip ped the ball to Fitzpatrick who went down the sideline to the one where Pike drove him out of bound. In three smashes Trimmer scored and smashed center for 7 points. On the following kickoff Brake kick ed way down the field, it lit in end zone. Plattsmouth thought it would be a touchback, let the ball roll and Barney Hayes Glenwood co-captain fell on it" for a" touchdown. On the attempt for extra, point the entire Plattsmouth team tossed Kemp. The rest of the game was very close with White trying hard to push one over. Plattsmouth used only 4 substi tutes, Conis, Essert, Beveridge en tered the game when starters were injured while Pike saw service at Center. Novak, Vroman and White stood out for Plattsmouth, while Cox and Brake looked best for Glenwood. Plattsmouth Glenwood Rice le Mayberry Grosshams .
