C S Sinks Vlkmg Ship Catalina's first out-of-town game proved to be a success, as twelve bus-loads of blue and white fans saw the Trojans crumple Sunnyslope 8-0. Rock-ribbed defensive play, combined with the passing of Tom Murphy and the hard running of Don Gabriel, was the key to the Viking loss. First score of the game came when Sunnyslope's back joe Formica was trapped in the end zone for a safety, giving the Trojans a 2-O lead. The final score came when half-back Don Gabriel of Catalina received a 15 yard pass from quarterback Torn Murphy and bulled his way to the one yard line. On the next play Tom Murphy carried the ball and plunged over. Cata- lina was never in trouble after that and went on to victory. W' Trojans Edged In Heart-Breaker At Rincon Called the most exciting game of the year as Rin- con squeaked by Catalina 14-12 before a record 7,500 fans at Rincon. After a bruising, scoreless, first-half, Trojan defensive back Bob Sher intercepted a pass and ran 35 yards to put C.H.S. ahead 6-0. Twelve plays later the Rangers scored and took the lead when the ' 42 rr 451. TEV' P.A.T. was successful. Later Mike Armstrong jitter- bugged 25 yards for the next Rincon tally. Torn Mur- phy then passed to Doug Wfard who raced 30 yards for Catalina's Final T.D. Once again the important P.A.T. g failed and a few minutes later the final gun sounded.

Catalina staved off a determined Salpointe team to the bitter end for a 13-6 victory in the first game of the 1961 season. Fullback Mike Cartwright ca- reened over from the one yard line in the second quarter to put the Trojans ahead 6-0. Fred Reece capped a 60 yard Lancer drive by plunging six yards to tie the score. With three minutes left in the game, halfback Bob Griffen galloped sixteen yards for the winning touchdown. The boys in blue had another chance to score -when Don Gabriel was hit hard in the end zone, fumbled, and Salpointe received a touch- back.' The victory left the Trojan gridmen with a 4-2 advantage in the history of the games between the schools. Trojans Bomp Over Arcadia 33-19 Sparked by the hard running and the kicking of left halfback Don Gabriel and the passing of quarter- back Tom Murphy, Catalina rolled to a 33-19 victory over Scottsdale Arcadia. Don Gabriel dashed for three touchdowns and kicked the extra points on all three to again lead the boys in blue to victory. A 17 yard pass from Tom Murphy to Bob Griffen accounted for another touchdown while fullback Mike Cartwright streaked 23 yards for the last Trojan score of the game.

Scoring first in the first quarter on a 26 yard run, the Badgers took an early lead which they kept throughout the game. Cata- lina bounced right back in the second quarter with a 4 yard Tom Murphy to Don Gabriel pass. This proved to be the only tally for the Trojans in a roughly played game, which saw both sides penalized a total of 160 yards. Lady luck smiled at Tucson in the fourth quarter when a blocked CHS kick put the Badgers at the Catalina 28. They scored in two plays on a 26 yard pass. Trojans Win First Against Rincon Going up against the Rincon Rangers in full strength did the trick as the Trojans bounced back from a two game losing streak and avenged their previous loss to Rincon, to win 14-12. Once again it was the all important P.A.Tfs that decided the winner as both of Catalina's were good after scores made by halfback Don Pearson and a Murphy to Gabriel pass. This win was Catalina's first win in four games against Rincon. Bocats Shock Catalina To 25-0 Loss F avored by all the newspapers to win against Central it seemed as if the blue and white gridmen would add another victory to their record, but this particular night they were the hottest they had been all season. Scoring the first two times they got the ball, they kept up the torrid pace all through the game to whitewash Catalina 25-0. Backed by the tremendous running of john Lane, who averaged eight yards per carry, and flashy quarter-back Ray Hienter, the Bob- cats were too much for the Trojan eleven, which led to Catalinais worst defeat of the season.
