Lincoln Dumps Beverly 13-12 -T ESORTING to a last quarter aerial J attack, the Abes pushed across the win- X , ning touchdown in the final few minutes of the g-ame to scrape out a 13 to 12 victory over Beverly Hills. The Tigers started a sustained drive which carried them fifty-five yards in eight plays to a touchdown. The conversion failed. Beverly Hills came back to roll up eighty yards and a score in eight plays. After taking Garofalo ' s punt on the Abes 38-yard mark, McAndrews, of the swanky- team, took the oval over on a 12-yard gallop around end. With three minutes remaining, the Rail- splitters started heaving passes all over the lot. A toss by Washington and a penalty gave the Bengals the ball on the Beverly 1-yard stripe. -Washington ploughed over for the score. Bengals Swamp Franklin 40-0 • AGER to avenge the defeat they suffered 1° at the hands of the Kiteflvers the year before, the Bengal Pigskinners traveled over to the Franklin greensward intent on run- ning a high score on their friendly rivals from the Highland Park district. Getting off to an auspicious start, Coacl Tunney ' s band of fighting footballers rang up 21 points in the first quarter, with Washington personally accounting for 12 of them, while the remaining points were compiled by Garofalo, with the help of a safety by the Bens. The third quarter found Washington sneaking through a small opening at left tackle and snake-hipping his way for 70 yards to again score. After ringing up 24 digits, Washington was relieved by Anderson, who promptly pro- ceeded to flip a pass to Garofalo for another tallv. One Hundred Six •

£ ' engal Lightweights Cop Title N winning four games and tying two, the Bengal lightweights bagged the first city championship since 1924, when Coach Livernash coached his gang of midgets to cit y wide supremacy. With Coach Fox guiding the destinies of the Abe lighties, they shaped into a strong de- fensive team, having only six points scored against them all season, compared to the 51 digits they rolled up against their opponents. The first tussle of the season found the Tiger Babes taking Belmont into camp by an 8 to score. Barely nosing out Roosevelt 6 to 0, the Emancipators were given a scare by the Fourth Street aggregation. Marshall was next to fall before the on- slaught of the title-bound B ' s. The Abes dis- played a strong offense in ringing up 19 points against the Barristers. Garbo tallied the trio of touchdowns which put the game on ice. In the playoff for the Northern league title, the Abes were held to a scoreless tie by Fre- mont. The Tiger Babes outplayed the Path- finders throughout the game, but lacked a scoring punch. The Franklin eleven fell before the Bengals 18 to 6, and incidentally were the only eleven to score against the Babes throughout the sea- son. It was all Garbo in this game, with the diminutive quarter slashing his way to three touchdowns. Needing only a tie to cop the championship, the Emancipators played Los Angeles High to a scoreless tie. Those who were instrumental in bringing the city championship to Lincoln were; Jit- suda, O ' Keefe, Costedoat, Inouye, Fornaca, Na- gata, Johnson, Garbo, Gadessi, Shirley, Tera- moto, Kawamura, Yamomoto, and Miyamoto.
