'''Summary of Games'''

The Reardan Indians opened their football season of 1949 by participating
in the annual Merry-go-round at Davenport. The Davenport football field
had been lighted for night football and the Merry-go-round was
to inaugurate the lights. The Indians knocked over Lind by gaining a
78-49 yardage advantage in one quarter. Reardan then met Wilbur for
first place. Wilbur won, 7-0, Reardan placing second.

Reardan then won an easy 14-0 victory over West Valley's B squad on
September 21, and on September 30, the Indians played at Lind in the
first conference game of the season. Lind took the lead in the second
quarter by driving across a lone tally. The Indians stopped the try for
the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter, Reardan started a drive that
finished in a smashing touchdown. The ball was driven over for the extra
point and Reardan won, 7-6.

The following week, Reardan traveled to Wilbur. The Indians pushed
the Redskins all over the field and drove the ball down to the goal on two
occasions but could not get to scoring territory. The game ended in a
0-0 tie.

The Reardan Indians looked like a championship team on October 6
in playing host to the Odessa eleven. It was the first home game of the
season. The Indians passed and ran the ball to lead, 20-0, in the initial
quarter, and with substitutions playing much of the contest, the home
team went on to a 38-7 win over the Tigers from Odessa.

Everyone in the county was thinking by now that Reardan was the
team to take the championship, but the boys from Ritzville had a different
idea. Ritzville came to Reardan on the 21st of October with an equally
good record. During the first half, it looked as though Lady Luck was
against Reardan. Twice the Indians drove the ball down within the 10-yard
line only to lose it on downs. Then, in the third quarter the Ritzville team
went to work against a baffled and injured Reardan team to pound out a
decisive 32-6 victory.

On October 28, Reardan traveled to Davenport. Still suffering from
injuries and playing an improved Davenport team, Reardan lost, 24-0, in
the last game of the season.
