"Nevada Tech"

Boze's school, obviously, doesn't exist nor does it appear to have ever existed.  In the '30s, Nevada only had the flagship university of the state -- The University of Nevada. The fact that both Gabby and Duke say they've never heard of does not mean that Boze is making it up, but rather than he played for a smaller state university (Cal State - Northride) or polytechnical college (Cal Tech) rather than a larger, better known football school (UCLA or Cal). In the movie version, he attends "Moby Tech," an equally fictional university.
