In Locals' Win
Over Visitors
Coach Drummond's Backficld
Player Scores Four Touch
downs and Boots
Three Goals.
By RALPH WAGNER.
Commercial Higli's foot ball team
added another victory to its grow
ing list yesterday afternoon at
Kourkc park when the Bookkeepers
walloped the University Place High,
21 to 0, in a game featured by long
tftsses and end runs.
: Coach Drummond's proteges em
ployed a series of sharp off-tackle
drives for the most part, although
they mixed in a few straight lunges
through the line, an occasional end
run and four or five good forward
passes. The longest was a 32-yard
toss, Yechout to Mahoney, which re
sulted in the initial touchdown for
the Commercial aggregation.
From the Commerce viewpoint, the
brightest feature was the aggressive
play of the backficld. which worked
behind fairly sniooth interference,
every back fighting hard until he
was dragged to earth. "Ike" Ma
honey, Drummond's left half, was
easily the star of the contest, scoring
all of Commerce's touchdowns and
booting every field goal with the ex
ception of one.
Visitors Outweighed.
Although they were outweighed,
the University Place gridsters put
up a game fight from start to finish,
but were helpless before the husky
Omaha warriers. The visitors played
better ball during' the second half
and in the last period of." play out
played their beefy opponents.
University Place was in possession
of the oval on Commerce's 18-yard
line in the third quarter, but lacked
the punch to carry the Uill over the
chalk mark. Drummond's athletes
took the pigskin and Mahoney reeled
off 82 yards for a touchdown, racing
through the entire University Place
team.
;in the final period the visitors
had the ball on their own lO-va"!
line. Deuser booted the oval to the
locals, but the kick was blocked
and Rokusek of Commerce recovered
jlhe ball on the 10-yard mark. Ma
jjtoney plowed through the line for
ix yards on the following play, and
ftjniversity Place held, the locals
'losing the ball with but four yards to
igo.
' Loses Ball on Fumble.
J University Place was unable to ad
vance trie oval and hooted to Com
merce. Mahoney, Yechout and
amero advanced to their onpon-
nt's 20-yard line and on the next
lay lost the ball on a fumble.
tThe first touchdown ramc after
She first five minutes of play. After
n exchange of punts. Commerce
Jtarted down llie field. A toss. Yach
littt to Mahoney, scored the first
Itbchdown. The latter kicked goal
fud the locals took the lead. Com
artcrce received thcball and another
tlip. Yechout to Mahonev, scored
ihe second tally, the lanky Commerce
cft lialf racing 35 yards for the
(fo,uchdown. He booted his own goal.
$ '.The third touchdown came a few
Jiiinutes before the half ended. Com
fiierce received the ball after an ex
jhange of punts and a wide end
,nm by Mahonev from University
Place's 23-yard line resulted in the
tallv. Mahoney missed the goal.
For the losers, Deuser, E, Radin
sky and Weaver played a ' stellar
Mine in the backfield. The Univer
sity Place lads tackled low. but their
Kne was unable to hold the husky
Seal?. Yctter, end, and Harrington,
tackle, were the stars of the visitors'
first line of defense. i
South, the negro backfield man for
Commerce, together with Krasne,
Camero and Yechout played a good
.game for the winners.

ules of both schools. Keen rivalry
exists between the two aggregations

Omaha, the district of this city
where a flock of lesser lights in. the
boxing game hail from, and jack
Leahy of Winner, S. D., will face
the barrier in the main event, a
scheduled 10-round mill-.- And in tht
estimation of the writer, the fans
are going to see jric of those whirl
wind scraps that keeps them on their
feet. Neither of these boys know
whatthe word quit means, and if
there are any boxers of their weight
around Omaha who can stand toe to
toe vvith them and outslug either,
he haisn't put in his appearance as
yet. Both boys arc capable of stag
ing a good scrap j when their op
ponents stand to their guns.
Leahy is working out in a local
gymnasium. The Winner, S. D.,
lad appears to be in good physical
trim, and according to .his m;:ll
army of trainers, packs a good stiff
wallop in both mitts. Schlaifcr's
opponent has battled Johnny Dona
hue of Rock Island, 111., to a six
round draw and among his other
ring victories has a decision 'over
Mf.tt Smith, hard-hifting Corrcction
villc,' Iv. scrapper.
Schliafer i training daily under
the Krection of "Kid" Graves and

ning, he should be in good trim for
his encounter with Leahy.
