Special TO The Journal,

Las Vegas, n. NJ, Nov. IL
For the first time in their history
the New Mexico Normal univer-
sity boys accepted defeat on their
home ground in the football game
played here Saturday afternoon
with the Albuquerque high school
eleven. The score at the finish
stood 81 to 6. The weather was
ideal and the game was an exhi-
bition of real football regardless
of the rather one-sided score.
The Albuquerque boys were the
first on the field, running through
their light signal practice, the
Normal boys coming on the field
about Is minutes later. AT 2:45
Albuquerque kicked off to the
Normals 20-yard line. Hursh re-
ceived the ball, returning it about
ten yards. After attempting the
lock step shift which was barred
from Centre college on account of
the imperfection of the play, the
Normal boys were forced to kick
on a fourth down. Hursh punted
to Long, who made a very neat
return of about 20 yards, with a
series of penalties against the
Normal, which brought the ball
well down the field and by the
use of the aerial game Albuquer-
que forced the ball over the Nor
mails goal line for the first touch
down. Renfro kicked goal These
forward passes were well executed
and most of them were over the
center field.
The Normal boys took choice OF
receiving and Albuquerque kicked
to the Norma's 10-yard line
Hopping received the ball and
returned it to the Normaps 40
yard line. This started the Nor
NAL university toward the Albu'
querque goal line. At the end OF
the first quarter the score stooc
Z to 0 in Albuquerque's favor.
The Normal was in possession
of the ball at the beginning Of
the second quarter and continued
their march over the left end OF
Albuduerque's line. The univer'
sity boys worked the ball 80 yards
without stop for their only
touchdown. Hursh failed to kicl
goal and Albuquerque, havint
choice, received the kickott
Hursh kicked to Roybal on hi
t0-yard line. Roybal returned the
BAH to Albuquerque 4O-yart
line with a series of forward
masses and end runs. Albuquer
aue carried the ball into Norma
territory and with a split pla!
completely fooled the Norma
boys. Giomi carried the ball Owe
for AlbuquerqGe's second touch
dowr. Renfro failed to kick goa
and the first half ended with
score Of '13 to 6.
The normal boys were notice
ably weakened at the eeginninl
Of the inird period under tn
strain of the heavier weight o
the Albuquerque team. Durini
the second half Roybal made sew
eral good end runs for good gains
putting the ball in easy striking
distance for the touchdowns tha
followed.
Allen and Holcomb played al
excellent game for Albuquerqu
in the end positions while Coel
was the star performer in tn
line. He is one of the best tackle
that Las Vegas has ever seen
Long and Roybal were the star
in the back field for Albuquerque
Hursh, Stapp and Gutierrez wer
the outstanding lights for the 10
cal team. Ferrin played wonder
fully we'll considering that he ]
Just recovering from a recent i'll
ness. Pulley, the Normals quar-
terback, was incapacitated by in
iuries received at Ration tw
weeks ago and the Normal fel
his loss very much.
From the spectators standpoin
as well as that of the old football
heads this was truly an excellen
exhibition of football.
