Tucson High Badger, Clyde WVilliams, looks as though he will soon be sandwiched between Cata- lina's two Dons fGabriel and Pearsonl at an early season game played at Catalina. Homecoming Spoiled Amphi's victory starved Panthers spoiled Cata- lina's homecoming celebration by upsetting the heavily favored Trojans 27-13. Breaking a 13-13 tie after half-time, the Panthers scored twice in the. fourth quarter for their second win in eight games, as quarterback Glen Ezell and Halfback George Iackson provided the scoring punch for the Panthers. Catalina threatened twice more in the game but the Panthers defense stiffened and took over on the one yard line. Bob Griffen and Mike Cart- wright both scored for CHS, Bob Griffen on a pass from quarterback Tom Murphy and a run by Mike Cartwright. This loss left CHS with a 4-4 record.

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.

PH Takes Championship Pueblo,s Warriors won the city championship by defeating the Trojans 20-0. Rugged defensive play and the running and passing of all-state Richard Mar- tinez spelled defeat for the Trojans. Pueblo scored in the first quarter and in the third quarter when they recovered a fumble on the Trojan 10 yard line. Lead- ing ground gainer for Catalina was halfback Mike Cartwright with a 4.5 rushing average, despite the fact the C-men were held to 21 yards total rushing in the second half. After this game, the fighting Warriors went on to defeat Phoenix St. Mary's for the State Championship. Spartans Squeak By Trojans 7-0 In the season finale, Phoenix Camelback handed the Trojans a 7-0 setback. The only score in the game came in the first quarter when the Spartans capitalized on a 64 yard drive. Frustrations marked Catalinafs plight, as two scoring drives failed to materialize due to a penalty on a 60 yard pass play and a fumble p on the Spartan one yard line. j i Grounding a Pueblo Warrior to a quick stop are Don Pearson CZSD and Doug Ward C820 during the exciting second quarter. f, 9 , Q3' Lf Q gif , .- r Ma-0 Congratulutiong head football coach, john Criste, is line-coach Bill Kiser, as coach Newly-appointed director of athletics, Ken Everett Nicholson looks on after the Catalina's victory over Salpointe.
