Show TONOPAH CAGERS END LONG TRIP The Tonopah high school basketball team passed through S. George Sunday enroute home from Ely, being obliged to travel tra-vel 919 miles to go 18 7 miles. Four weeks ago Wednesday the team left on what they expected ex-pected to be a ' three day playing play-ing tour. Panea, Ely and Mc-Gill Mc-Gill -were the town on the in-inerary in-inerary of the team which expected ex-pected to travel directly to Ely and McGill which are 11 miles apart, then south to Panaca and west again to Tonopah. Finding the highway from Tonopah to Ely blocked, the team went to Panaca via Las Vegas. It defeated the latter town, and moved on to Ely, losing there and subsequently losing at McGill. The club returned io Ely from McGill and prepared to journey homeward on the Ely-Tonopah Ely-Tonopah highway. A short distance dis-tance west of Ely a blinding snowstorm drove the team back, with the intention of taking a more circuitous route via Ely, Panaca,, Las Vegas. But the snows had made the Panaca-Ely Panaca-Ely route impassable. The team stayed in Ely and played several games to pass the time, being instructed for two hours each day by the coach. Still the preferred routes remained re-mained closed. At length the coach chose the only other means, one thatt long had been deferred in the belief that one of two shorter ways home would become passable . The team was trundled into the two automobiles that had served as conveyances and the party headed for Salt Lake, 259 miles from Ely. It arrived at Salt Lake late Saturday. With a short rest the party again took the road, choosing highway 91 to Las Vegas, then driving north to Tonopah. The distance from Salt Lake to Las Vegas it 457 and from Tonopah to Las Vegas is 214, which, with the 2 59-mile drive from Ely, makes a total of 919 miles the high sschool team traveled to cover a distance of 1S7 miles.
