lFlOO'lFlBAlLlL With ten letter-men and several promising B-squad men returning from last year's team, a very successful season was predicted for Reno . . . In the first game of the season, the Huskies met the Carson Senators and lived up to expec- tations by taking a 45-to-6 victory. Reno then traveled to Fallon and trounced the Green Wave, 20 to 6. Iohn Brooks, Reno halfback, broke his ankle late in the second quarter of this game and his expert playing was missed for the rest of the season. The next clash brought Reno and Yerington together, with the Huskies remaining unbeaten. Reno's forward wall was too much for the Yerington Lions, and the Huskies won, 19 to 6. Next came the Stewart Indians, who gave the Renoites quite a scare. It was nip-and-tuck all the way until the third quarter when the Braves weakened a little and Reno went over for two touchdowns. Both conversions failed and the final score was: Reno l2, Stewart O. The annual big game with the Sparks Railroaders was next on the schedule. Although outplayed and outpowered, Reno put up a stiff fight, but Sparks scored late in the second quarter, for the game's only touchdown, to win, 6 to O. After a two weeks' rest, Reno encountered Fallon on the Huskies' home territory. Sparked by Bob Ravera's 65-yard run and Iim Aiken's passes, the Reno men again claimed the heavy end of the score, which was 12 to O. Again meeting Stewart, Reno's power and deception netted her another victory over the Braves to the tune of 13 to O . . . Reno ended the season with six wins and one loss, amassing l2l points to the opponents' 24 . . . lim Aiken, Bob Bolander, and Al Barbagelata were named to the All-State team and nine other Reno men received honorable mention . . . Although Reno High is losing many good men by graduation and to the services, several experienced gridders will return next year and Coach Foster should be able to turn out a fine team.
