Nevada Tigers played well in conference and in non- conference games. After losing to Ft. Scott 13-0 in a driv- ing rainstorm, Nevada bounced back to upset a highly touted Bolivar eleven with a score of 21-14 to snap the 15 game winning streak of the Llberators. The next week with Forest Nichols again showing the way, the Nevada Tigers smashed the champion El Dorado Bulldogs 37-7. El Dorado had a record of being undefeated in three years of conference play. With an impressive' pre-conference record behind them, the Nevada team journeyed to Carthage for the conference opener. It was a wide open battle all the way, with two teams fighting the length of the field, alternately scoring touchdowns. Nevada gridmen outgamed the Car- thage team on the ground, but they were no match for Carthage's superior passing attack which led Carthage to the big end of the 28-20 score. Opening the home football schedule with an enthusi- astic crpwn swelling the stands at Logan Field, the Tigers clashed with the Aurora Houn' Dawgs. Defense was out- standing as both teams were held to short yardage. Auro- ra's forward wall proved virtually impenetratable. Ne- vada's hopes were temporarily lifted late in the third quarter when the Tigers broke loose for a 33 yard touch- down run which put them within 6 points of the I-loun'd Dawgs. The Aurora eleven soon plowed through for another tally to win the game 18-6. The Tigers roared through to their first conference victory by downing the Monett Cubs 20-12. Nevada s ed the scoring soon after the game started. Monett rec the kickoff, but fumbled on their 5 yard line. The hal rolled to the l yard line where it was recovered by Ne- vada. On the first play the Tigers went over for the first score. The second Nevada TD came a few minutes later on the first play after the Tigers again gained possession of the ball. This was the, first appearance of a trick play, known as lazybones, which was destined to become fa- mous with the Nevada Tigers. With spirits heightened by their victory against Mo- nett, the Tigers descended upon Mt. Vernon where they soundly thrashed the Mountaineers 34-0. It was a tough battle the first half with the Tigers reaching pay dirt only once. Nevada went wild the second half on 4 '.D.D's and 4 conversions to wrap up their second conference victory. -' The Tigers won a hot one from a fighting Webb City team, defeating the Cardinals 44-19. Webb City lost no time in starting the ball rolling, for on the first play after kickoff they connected with a pass which went all the way. The Nevada team came back scoring 3 touchdowns in succession. Not to be outdone, the Cardinals rallied with two quick TD's to tie the score 19-19. Nevada dominated the last half proving their superiority by a final score of 44-19. Carl Hendrix was the sparkplug for the Tigers, scoring 32 points on 5 touchdowns and 2 extra points.
