Trojans Post 4-6 Markg Face Tough Cpposition Trojan gridmen opened their 1962 season hoping to break the jinx of winning more than they lose, but fate wasn't with them as they faced one of the tough- est schedules in the history of the school. Half of the opponents they faced were among the top ten teams in the state, including 1962 state champs Scotts- dale Arcadia and Tucson High. The Trojans gave it everything they had as they recorded a 4-6 mark for the second year in a row. Of the four victories two were upsets over powerful Rincon and Sunnyside. Catalina's seventh football season ended with Tro- jan halfback Don Gabriel copping second-string All- City honors. Gabriel led the Trojans both in scoring and rushing. The talented 175 pound senior rambled for 535 yards in 128 carries for a 4.2 average, while scoring eight touchdowns and one PAT for 49 points. Another CHS halfback, Mike Cartwright, was right be- hind Gabriel as he gained 504 yards for the Trojan cause and contributed 48 points in hitting pay dirt eight times. Catalina center Frank Knoop received an honor- able mention on the All-City team for the only other Trojan to receive city honors. Craig Gillaspie was voted by head football coach john Griste and his teammates as the best defensive man for the 1962 year. junior guard jim Robinson was voted as the best blocker and senior tackle Dave Van Pelt as the most improved player. Trojan guard Calvin 1Vood and fullback Craig Gillaspie were named co-captains for the 1963 squad. f 133

Trojans Win Cpcncr Before Falling to Arcadia Halfback Mike Cartwright comes to the end of another yard- gaining gallop as three Bluedevils bring him down. Trojans Shutout Vikings 27-0 Paced by the passing of quarterback Ken Fox the Catalina eleven opened the 1962 campaign with a 27-0 shutout victory over Phoenix Sunnyslope. The first score of the game came with 55 seconds left in the first half when Mike Cartwright snagged a Fox aerial on the Vikings, 38 yard line and galloped the rest of the way to paydirt. Fox connected with half- back Don Gabriel twice in the second half on scoring plays of 65 and 25 yards. Fullback Richard Whitman capped the Trojan scoring on a 2-yard plunge with two minutes left on the scoreboard. Arcadians Hand Catalina First Loss Led by halfbacks Moose Rollins and Pat McGinty, Scottsdale Arcadia proved to be to much for the Trojans to handle as Catalina lost their second game of the season 37-19. After McGinty returned the open- ing kickoff 80 yards for the first Titan score, Catalina bounced back on Mike Cartwrightis 8-yard run that put CHS out in front 7-6. But two successive touch- down romps by Rollins of 42 and 2 yards in the second quarter broke the backs of the Trojans.
