Confrontation for the CannonSeptember 29, 2015 By Sparks Tribune Leave a CommentJohn Byrne/Tribune It’s UNLV Week. The Rebels come to Mackay Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the 41st annual Battle for the Fremont Cannon (pictured). Nevada leads the all-time series 24-16, but the teams have split the last two contests, with the road team winning each of those games. The Fremont Cannon is actually a replica of a howitzer that accompanied Captain John C. Fremont on his expedition through Oregon, Nevada and California in 1843-1844.
