R. H. S. 'IEE CGMET 1 9 2 3 FILER vs. RUPERT at FILER, October 27 i Another unlucky day for Rupert. We were again outclassed by weight. It was a very cold and windy day but the Leopards did not mind the wind nor cold. The game started with lots of pep. Filer walked down the field for a touchdown during the first five minutes of play, then the Rupert team came I:-ack with one just like it. Stone made the only touchdown for Rupert and kicked goal. The score at the end of the first half was 13 to 7 in Fileris favor. The outlook for Rupert was very good, however Filer won by a big margin. Filer, 54-Rupert, 7 ' ALBION vs. RUPERT at RUPERT, November 3 The Rupert eleven had better luck when they met their friend, Albion High. Not much skill was shown by either team, but the Albion warriors weie no match for us. They fought desperately but we gave them some of the hard luck that we were fed up on. Coach Scheffel had to play several of his subs as several of the first team regulars were laid up, token of the two previous games. Albion, O-Rupert, 41 I FORT HALL INDIANS vs. RUPERT at Rupert, November 11 VV hen the Indians came on the scene the Rupert braves began to think a lot of their scalps. Nfter the first five minutes of play the Rupert eleven was hard pressed, but they came out on top with a touchdown. If the Indians had known more football we would have had a harder fight. In the first quarter Long carried the ball over for a touchdown. The hraves pep-ped up in the second quarter, but the Rupert line held them until Skinny Nelson completed on a drop kick. The score at the end of the first half was 10 to O in ourfavor. ,During the third quarter Droste bucked the ball over for another touchdown, and in the last quarter Stone carried the hall for the final score. Although disagreements almost spoiled the game, the teams parted more friendly than ever. p Fort Hall, 0-Rupert, 23 Mr. Howard Scheffel gave the best he had to the football team and it is a settled fact that it was not his fault that the football team was not more successful. He was always on the job, coaching his squad in the things they needed most and at the right time. He is a great favorite among the men and they are loyal to him to the very last ditch. Given the same support next year, that he had this year, and he will 'EL1Il1.0Llt as good a team as any coach in Southern Idaho. This was Short'l Webb's second year as-football manager and the fi- nancial difficulties encountered by the team are not to be blamed upon his management. Page F iff y-S i.r

R.H.S. THE COMET 1 9 2 3 SCHEDULE BUHL vs. RUPERT, September 29 The Buhl boys arrived full of confidence, feeling that they had a Nvery easy game ahead of them. They weie huskie but Rupert did not lose hope. The first quarter there was no scoring, but some very good playing by both teams. In the second quarter Speed Long sprinted forty yards for a touchdowng during the third quarter Stony,' made a wide sweep around right end for the second touchdown and in the last quarter Skinny Nelson and Long scored. Dluring the entire game excellent line work was shown by Rupert's line. Buhl, 0-Rupert, 27 OAKLEY vs. RUPERT at OAKLEY, October 5 The Rupert team did not show their former speed and head work. The team's style of playing showed it's lack of practice during Institute week. The men on the team handled the ball as if it were a potato and scored ac-- cordingly. In the second quarter Skinny Nelson completed a drop kick and the Oakley huskies came back at Rupert with a touchdown, which ended the scoring for the entire game. Oakley, 7-Rupert, 3 - BURLEY vs. RUPERT at RUPERT, October 13 We met our old riavls on the 13th, but it was their unlucky day, not ours. The field was soaked with a week's rain, needless to say it was very disagree- able. Both teams entered the game looking fairly respectable, but when they came off from the field they could hardly be told apart. During the second quarter Stony carried the ball over the line for the first touchdown, and during the third quarter Long carried the ball across for our last score. In the last quarter the Burley eleven bucked up and put the ball over for their only touchdown. Burley, 6-Rupert, 13 TWIN FA-LLS vs. RUPERT at TWIN, October 20 An unlucky day for R. H. S-. The Leopards were full of vim and fight and determination to win but they did not even score. The Twin Falls team. did not go through our team or over it, they simply pushed us back by their superior weight. Everyone admired Rupert for her pluck and determination. Not a man gave up until the game was over, even in the face of Twin's constant scoring. Twin Falls, 69-Rupert, 0 Page Fifty-Fizz'
