But nevertheless we were beaten by a superior, heavier and more experienced team. The score does not indicate the quality of the game at all. Nevada earned every point she got and the Aggies fought hard all the time. The first quarter was hotly contested with Nevada 0n the defensive. Nevada scored two touchdowns on passes and then scored again from scrimmage before the half ended. The second half was a punting duel for some time with first Porter and then Spilman doing the kicking for the Aggies. The Aggies did not seem to be able to launch a determined drive after in their opponents territory, while the fast moving Nevada backfield seemed to puzzle the Aggles unexperienced men.
