In the second half the Rawlins
team showed the lack of strict train
ing and they were unable to hold
up as they had done in the first half,
still the team showed a 100 percent
Improvement over the previous Sat
urday and they played a game which
deserves all the credit that is possible
to give any team. With the eXcep-
tion of a few minor things, the team
worked as a unit and the credit falls
on each and every member. Mike
Pappas played a good game in his
position as left end: John Engstrom
made the fur fly from the other end
Of the line; Higley and Espy as
left and right tackles made the Rock
Springs team wonder where Rawlins
secured the lightning bolts; Trujillo
and McNiff as left and right guards
more than accounted for themselves
and Brick Sanders at center made
holes the whole team was able to
go through and he played a good
consistent game. AS left and right
half backs Mcfarland and Griffiths
deserve all the credit that is possible
to give any men. AS far as full back
is concerned, we'll, Tim Monahan
would start running-it always took
about 10 Rock Springs men to stop
him. no more need be said about
Tim. Bud Green as quarter back.
other than pinching Brick, played
wonderful ball and the coach doesn't
have to look around very far for a
better or more consistent quarter.
As far as the financial end is con-
cerncd, there were not as many peo-
pie at the game as there should have
been. still about 500 was realized
in all. If the game had been ade-
Quately advertised, there is no doubt
but what it would have been a great
success in this line, for as in o
other schools, football is the big
paying game of all athletics and all
other sports are usually financed
from the proceeds of the football
games. Most Of the fans who were
seeing the game for the first time
are nov converted to the sport
and are determined to take in all
following games. Last weeks game
was enough to onver any person
who has sporting blood in his veins.
At the present time there is an at
tempt being made to get a game
with Craig. Colorado. team at Craig
this coming Saturday and If possible
get a return game to be played in
Rawlins on Armistice Day and in
years to make the Armis-
tice Day game a tradition. The re-
naming games as now scheduled
are with Rock Springs at Rock
Springs on October 18th and a re-
game with Laramie at Rawlins
October 18th.
While we are giving credit for
things. the Rock Springs
High School is to be complimented
on sending down such n clean bunch
OF sports; they played good ball and
