APPRENTICES AND
CLOVIS BATTLE TO
~ TIE SUNDAY

pitted for the first time this sea-
son against a team which did not
hopelessly outweigh them, the w.
d. II. Apprentice team last Sunday
atuhed in part for their string OF
defeats this season by getting a
draw decision against the helpers
from Clovis. The light Winslow
line, while still functioning some4
thing on the order of a heavy cali
bfe Sieve, was able at least to hold
off the New Mexicans long enough
For the .backfield to get in some
OF their fell work, and the score of
III, which ended the game in tie
Is very favorable when compared
with the results of previous games
this season.
After all, the leakage of the line
MAS of some value, because how
else could the worthiness of the
secondary defense be put to the
test? This little duty that often
falls to the backfield men was ably
handled BY Paul Thornton, Mitch

haut,i and their backing of the line,
particularly the larger Thornton
brother, was a worthy spectacle.
This time the plant cannot be
made that one man was the team
ptobably for the reason that Dan
Hitchcock was out of town. AT
any; rate, in his absence the rest of
the baGkfield came into small

cocks individual method of toting
tiefball has blinded US somewhat

Z Both Thorntons, Mitchell and
OsteThaut played a game that was
steady and consistent, and even at
times berdered on the sensational.
The methodical manner in which
Winslow started making first
downs in the third frame in a
march that led to the tie was
heaufiful in its consistency, and
blowing gains by Paul Thornton
and Mitchell made the Clovis lads
seem impotent in their defense.
