So that the boys might not forget the use of football materials and that some stimulus might be given for a team next year, one game was arranged with the Industrial School. Some twenty men turned out and after two weeks practice the game was played on November 8 with Winnemucca on the long end of the score. Prospects look good for next fall and we hope that a complete schedule will be carried out. LUIZ BARGAS MESSENGER RAYMOND KILIAN Coach DAWSON PERRY ROBERT MORRISON DONALD NELSON WILLIAM ST.

Midgets T TNDER the guidance and coaching of Mr. Kilian, the Midgets got off to a good start this year and played a brand of ball that any team might be well proud of. So that more boys would have an opportunity to play and , also that teams might be formed to give each weight class an opportunity to perform, the boys were divided into 100-pound and 120-pound teams. In the 100-pound class the scores for games were as follows: Elko Boy Scouts . 5 Midgets . 10 Paradise ... 10 Midgets . 6 Industrial School . 6 Midgets . 10 COACH KILIAN In the 120-pound division the scores were as follows: Industrial School . . 12 Midgets ...... 16 Elko Boy Scouts . . 18 Midgets..............9 Lovelock..............18 Midgets . . . . 16 Lovelock (ret’n game) 25 Midgets.............22 Paradise Town Team 15 Midgets.............22 Grammar School . . 32 Midgets.............54 Grammar School . . 32 Midgets.............13 Grammar School . .15 Midgets.............15 Grammar School . . 20 Midgets . . . . .15 With the experience gained in these games, together with games played with the High School team in scrimmage, a number of the boys showed up so well that they probably will be candidates for the varsity squad next year.

Top Row— JOHN ECHAVE ROBERT SWAN EARL BANKOFIER DAVID BELL Bottom Row— EUGENE GASTANAGA JOSEPH SONZOGNI CHARLIE GARTEIZ FELICE JACA ROBERT MORRISON Track THE track outlook at the beginning of the 1930 season was not very bright but the finish was very satisfactory. Our 1930 team was somewhat weak in dual meets where seconds and thirds count so mu-ch but on the other hand it was very strong in the Eastern Nevada and State track meets where more schools were entered. The presence of two stars on the team made us a dangerous opponent in any mixed meet. Harry Branting and Fred Walts supplied the main strength in our Elko dual and the State meet. Branting was unable to compete in the Elko Interscholatic meet which we could have won easily with him competing. Winning the cup in Reno after two discouraging defeats at Elko was certainly a fitting triumph for a bunch of boys who did not seem to know when they were whipped. Walts was the star of the day at Reno, breaking the 220 record twice and winning the 100-yd. and 440-yd., besides running a beautiful anchor lap in the relay. Branting placed third in the 100-yd. and second in the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 10 inches. These two boys were supported in the fight for the title by Dave Bankofier in the weights and Echave and Bell in the relay. Walts climaxed his high school track career by taking second in the 440 at Stagg’s National Track Meet in Chicago. His time of 49.8 is two seconds faster than the state record here in the 440. At present we can see no such stars for our 1931 team but who knows but that there may be an embryo Walts in school. At any rate we are expecting a large and ambitious turnout for the 1931 team. From this squad, we hope to be able to furnish some lively competition for our rival schools. PAGE THIRTY-THREE
