The Phantoms, playing their first ball game since they were organized a little over a week ago, were outclassed from the start, however they gave a good account of themselves in the con test in showing plenty of spirit of the one-sidedness of the score. Nearly all the Pioneers were former collegiate stars, and it was obvious to the 2,500 people who turned out here this after noon that the Norfolk-Ports - mouth pros had a definite edge in weight and experience. The Pioneers started rolling arly in the game, and ran up a 35-0 score by halftime. Roa noke Rapids held on during the second half, 'limiting the home team to a single score. All the extra points on sin touchdowns were booted for te Pioneers. Late in the ball game the Phantoms threatened to score on a drive which started on their own 40 and moved down to the Piorfcers three before they were held for downs. Sparking the drive was the passing accuracy of Buck Rose. Phantom full back, who was hitting the mark with Rogers, Oliver and Charlie Draughan on the receiving end. This late drive was the only real threat displayed by the visitors, who were obviously not at home with the professional football rules employed in t h e game. Pro rules allow a man to keep moving unless he is de finitely hit and held down, and they also permit fumbles to be picked up and played until the ball is ruled dead. Coach Jim (Flip) Edmundson of the Phantoms said he was pleased with the showing made by his inexperienced team i n spite of the score. He said the boys played hard, clean foot - ball all the way and never gave up fighting when they got be hind. He said the Pioneers made only one score through the line, passing for the other touch downs. He said the Roanoke Rapids team showed offensive strength only through the air lanes. auc riuuccis i an pxays xrom the T formation, while the Roa noke Rapids team employed the single-wing formation.

Nevada, the little team that leads the nation in offense, doesn’t meet opposition of the size to warrant much national consideration.
