when the Winnemucca boys were not

point scored. The team from Reno
outweighed the Winnemucca boys by
about twenty pounds per man, and in
addition to this advantage have been
playing against the University team
three nights a week.
This was the first real game the
Winnemucca boys have played this
year and, considering the handicap
under which they were working. the
home team made creditable showing
The Winnemucca boys will play Elko
here November 10th and this game
should be a close, hardfought con
test, as the teams will be more evenly
matched as to size and experience.
Elko was defeated last year by small
score and is coming down this year
to wipe out that defeat, if possible.
No one was hurt in Saturdays game,
which fact speaks well for the con-
dition of both teams.

deals with a marquis who, though he
