1 Quick ID, Passes Lead PHS over Bellevue, 20-6 Plattsmouth High parlayed a quick opener for a 50-yard TD run on its first play of the game and the passing of Torn Win scot to Jim Shown into a 20-6 football victory at Bellevue Fri day night. John Konfrst lugged the ball on the initial play from scrim mage for the Blue Devils. He broke over center, cut through a cluster of players just beyond the line of scrimmage and was gone. Konfrst's plunge for the ex tra point was short. Just 2:16 had elapsed In the game and Plattsmouth fans probably won dered if they were to see a re peat of Konfrst's 5-TD perform ance against Bellevue last year. But, it was not to be and it was a rugged game to the fin ish.

But Winscot fumbled on se cond down and Bellevue recov end. The quarter ended 6-0 and the teams played a scoreless se cond quarter in which Winscot twice had apparent TDs in sight on passes. He overthrew Jim Shown in the clear on the Bel levue 20 and later hit Al Dasher on the 15 but Al dropped the ball after a half step on the dead run. Plattsmouth struck fast in the third quarter, using only 1:57 to tally after Bellevue's kickoff. Winscot threw to Shown for 16, then for 4. Konfrst ran for 10 to the Bellevue 32. Winscot connected with Shown for 23 to the 7. That same combination was good for the TD on second down from the 5. Konfrst ran the point after a pass failed on the first attempt but Bellevue was called for in terference. Bellevue went 65 yards to score in 8 plays, 4 4 minutes la ter. Phil Bartles (No. 37) led the drive with some hard running Interspersed with three passes by quarterback Pat Monrose. Larry Wogamon finally scor ed on first down from the 12. Plattsmouth's last TD came with 51 seconds left, Winscot hitting Shown on a 40-yard pass play. Shown got outside right end in the flat to get the ball and then outran the only defen der who had a chance at him. FOOTBALL RESULTS Twin Rivers Plattsmouth 20, Bellevue 6.

Pax ton A leading figure in the develop ment of the cattle business that had led Nebraska to place the designation "The Beef State" on its automobile license plates was William A. Paxton. First as a rancher in western Ne braska and then as one of the chief organizers of the Union Stockyards and a leader in the development of Omaha as a packing center he was a key figure in the development of Ne braskas catle business. Paxton came to Nebraska first in 1857 as a construction fore man on the military road con structed between Omaha and Fort Kearney. He went back to Missouri and got married, but returned to Nebraska in 1860. Like many of th early cattleman in Nebraska's history, he got a start as a freighter, and for several years he was in the freighting business, also engag ing in contracting construction work on the trans-continental telegraph line. Paxton took several contracts in constructing the Union Pac ific railroad, and accumulated enough of a financial reserve In this operation to branch into other fields. By 1870 he was ma king other contracts with the government, selling it cattle for delivery to Indian tribes, ana for military uses. Thus he be came further involved In ranch ing and the Keystone Cattle Company in which he had a ma jor interest was one of the states more important ranches in the 1870's. He Is reported to have sold his ranch holdings for over 2-3rds of a million dollars in 1883. Upon selling his ranching in terests Paxton transferred his entire attention to Omaha where he was already deeply involved in the affairs of the city. He had organized in 1879 the Pax- ton-Gallagher Company, whole. sale grocery business. In 1878 he had ventured into the stock yards activity and helped or ganize the Union Stock-Yards Company. This company oper ated in Omaha for a time ana then moved to Council Bluffs, and in 1883 he became interest ed In the Union Stock Yards Company of South Omaha. In this company and n the related activities in which he concerned himself such as the Union Stock Yards Bank and the Union Stock Yards railroad Paxton exerted a powerful influence to make Omaha a leading packing center. His leadership was a decisive factor in making Omaha one of the world's greatest meat packing centers. Paxton also became involved in many other aspects of Omaha activity. His name, still carried by the Paxton Hotel and the Pax-ton-Vierling Iron works, indica tes some of his interests. The hotel was supposedly named for him when he objected to the original builders stopping with a four story structure and agreed to raise the money to build another story. A leader in real estate de velopment in Omaha, and a member of the Nebraska legis lature, Paxton was one of Ne braska's important leaders in the 19th century. DARN THOSE PLANES! WICHITA. Kan. Johnnie Eli, of Wichita, told that he be came confused by circle drives at Municipal Airport and sud denly noticed a plane trying to crowd him off the road. The pilot of a DC-6 passenger airliner starting to take off slow ed his plane just in time to avoid hitting Eli's auto on a run way. The plane came so close to the car that the pilot noted its license number and radioed it to the control tower. P. S.: Elie was booked on a charge of drunken driving.
