ing during the first ten minutes
! but the magnificent showing they
made in that short time was
enough to leave the game in
doubt III til the home team sue
ceeded in making its second
touchdown.
o A. c. won the toss and
kicked to Nevada's IS yd line.
On the next play c. Hart. U. OF
N. got around the end f.r the
longest run made on the local
grounds this season-55 yards.
After a few plays the ball was
| worked to o. A. C.'s 15-yd line,
but the locals took a wonderful
brace and succeeded in getting
the ball on downs. The next
several plays were of minor i'm
portance, Nevada failing in an
attempt to make place kick from
| O. A. C.'s 25-yd line. The ball
was then worked back and forth
with honors about even, until a
Nevada man again got clear and
on fake punt made 4o-yd run
to Corvallis 15-yd line. Here
again o. A. c. held the visitors
and by superb putting by Capt.
Pilkington with perfect support,
Nevada could not make yardage
and before the spectators knew
what had happened the home
team had carried the ball to the
opponents 25-yd line.
1t was here that Corvallis
worked like Trojans and by ter
rife line bucking, using Will
liams for battering ram, Neva-
da was powerless to stay the on
slaughts and the ball was worked
to o. of MS 5-yard line. Now
came the prettiest fake play of
the season. By a false pass Ne
vada was completely outwitted.
and as result Williams went
around the end for a touchdown.
The remainder of the first half
was played in the visitors terri
tory and ended with the ball I6
yards from Nevada's goal.
In the second half Nevada
kicked to our 25yard line. Fail
ing to make yardage the ball is
o. A. C.'s. .'Pilk' next makes
a good punt of 40 yards, and
again Nevada is held for downs.
o. A. c. punts forty yards but
Nevada advances ball IS yards.
At this point U. of N. tries a
fake play but Pilkington did not
feel inclined to let the visitors
play that way and as a result
Nevada lost yardage. U. of N.
is then forced to punt. On the
next play Williams wanted to
show his sprinting ability and
after making a 4o-yard run, a
Nevada man kindly stopped him
lest he didn't know enough to
quit running. Ball was then on
U. of Ms 2o-yard line. Here
o. A. c. was penalized S yards.
Pilk then tries drop kick but
fails. After a succession of plays
during which Nevada makes
some gains, Williams gets scared
again and runs 80 yards to Ne
vada's 5-yard line before called
upon to halt. After a couple of
plays Pix goes over the line, but
by accident the ball slips from
his grasp and what should have
been another touchdown was lost
by the tumble.
I After several minutes of play
Williams is wound up and turned
loose again and with the assist
ance of Pilkington this time they
for nothing, as a Nevada
man found out when they hit
him, and they made 4o-yard
run for a touchdown-Pilking-
ton again fails at goal.
Pix kicks off to Nevada's 10
yard line, who advance ball rs
yards. Nevada loses ball on
downs and Williams goes through
for 20 yards, and ball was finally
worked to visitors 5-yard line.
Here Nevada stole the ball from
Bowers and punts 80 yards.
