The football team representing Boys' Town, Nebraska Father Flanagan's famous home for youths played a coast to coast schedule this fall and racked up 11 victories.

Arrangement of the post season playoff between champions of East Texas and WT-NM leagues, incidentally, is something that was needed to perpetrate interest when the two circuits were active several years ago. There was talk of such a hook-up but the two organizations never got together because the East Texas loop was of higher classification.
