Wyoming was never able to overcome the lead, the score in ‘the second half being 15 to 11 in the Miners’ favor. Starring for the Cowboys were Neff, Simson and Burns, while the Miners’ star score makers’ were Davis and Dunn, the latter chalking up five fielt goals in the first half. Four fresh men were put into the game by Wyoming in the last two minutes of play in an effer’. to make up their losses, but one fleld*yoal was all they could make.
