The clash between the cross-town rivals was played on the neutral Tucson High field on Monday, Nov. 16. .Pueblo halfback Fernando Santa Cruz received the opening kickofi and raced 95 yards through the entire Trojan defense to vault the Warriors into a lead that was never threatened. Later in the first quarter, the same Warrior prepster returned a Catalina fourth down punt to the Trojan 14 yard line. On the hrst play from scrim- mage, Santa Cruz lugged the pigskin over the goal line again to rack up Pueblo's second tally of the night. The Trojan's managed to halt the Warrior warpath rampage for the next two quarters. In the final period, Pueblo took the ball on its own ten and marched 90 yards to paydirt. Late in the same quarter Catalina halfback Bob Chalden returned a Pueblo punt 65 yards to the Warrior IO yard line. The Trojan rally was abruptly snufied out when Pueblo recovered a Catalina bobble and ran out the clock.

Catalina got an early break by recovering a Flagstaff fumble inside the Eagle ten yard line. Moments later, Neal Genda lugged the pigskin over from the one yard line for Catalina's first and only tally of the night. The conversion attempt failed and the Trojans led 6-O. The Eagles took the lead in the third quarter of play when halfback Clyde Joe sprinted nine yards to paydirt. The Blue and White were unable to regain the initiative, and Flagstaff scored twice more in the final period to put the game on ice. Trojans Whip Amphi 14-7 Catalina's fighting Trojans coupled Amphi bobbles and the passing of quarterback Dave Berg to hand the Amphi- theater Panthers a 14-7 defeat in an intracity pigskin contest. The Trojans, who entered the game as slight underdogs, upset pre-game forecasts and ended a six game losing streak. Amphi took the opening kickoff and scored its touch- down a scant four minutes later when Glenn Ezell carried the ball over from the one on a quarterback sneak. The teams traded the ball back and forth until the closing minutes of the half, when Catalina took the ball on its own 12 yard line and marched 88 yards to paydin. Don Hawk put the game on ice in the third quarter by crossing into the end zone from the one.
