would be worked clear across the
field to the opposite goal. This hap
pened time and time again without a
! score. Near the end of the third
quarter Captain Cunningham of the
Reno team, by sensational drop
kick from the 35-yard line, won the
three points secured by the Reno
team. The fourth quarter was fought
through to the end of the game with
out either team being able to score,
and the game went to Reno by the
score Of to 0.
The game was characterized by
clean, sportsmanlike playing on both
sides, and the coaches of both teams
are to be complimented on the style
of play they demand from their re-
spective teams.
In spite of the high wind and in
tense cold, good crowd went out
to see the game and the spectators
felt well repaid for what they had to
go through to witness the best high
school football game ever played in
Nevada. Last year the score was SO
to 0 when Tonopah played Reno.
The Tonopah boys were determined
this year to wipe out that score and
actually succeeded in wiping out so
points. With between four and five
times as many boys from whom to
select timber for team, Reno has
the same ratio of advantage when II
comes to playing a game like foot
J ball, consequently the work of the
| Tonopah team was really surprise
to the spectators. Never in the his
: tory of the Reno school have the,
! been held to so low score.
