The final regular season game for the Marines was against the Frankford Yellow Jackets, a 7–39 loss for Minneapolis.[17] Ebert appeared as a substitute for center John Madigan in the game.[17]

Coaching career
In 1923, Ebert was hired by Stillwater Area High School to be head football coach.[3]
The Brainard Daily Dispatch reported in September 1924 that the Ebert-coached Stillwater team "looks as though it will be one of the best that has represented this city in several years."[19] The 1924 Stillwater team went 5–2–1, with wins over Hudson High School (40–0),[20] St. Cloud High School (12–0),[21] White Bear Lake Area High School (30–7),[22] Hastings High School (33–0),[23] and Humboldt Senior High School (53–7),[24] losses against Northfield High School (0–9, in what was described as "one of the best games played here in years")[25] and Cedar Rapids High School (6–26),[26] and a tie to Winona High School (13–13).[27]
Records are incomplete for the 1925 season, but an article in the Star Tribune stated they lost only one game.[28] Ebert, along with 13 lettermen and seven players who started every game in 1925, left Stillwater in 1926.[3][28] His record as head coach was 16–5–1, a .750 winning percentage.[3]
