Gabriel galloped for three touchdowns on runs of 55, 35, and one yards, while Cartwright scored the other CHS tally on a 8-yard run at the close of the first half. The victory moved Catalina's record to 3-4. CHS Loses Heart-breaker To Pueblo A Pueblo Warrior PAT proved to be the winning margin as the Trojans bowed to the Warriors in a heart-breaker 7-6. CHS went ahead in the second quarter when Don Gabriel scored on a one-yard plunge, but Pueblo bounced back early in the third period and scored, followed by Warrior Ray Con'al's winning extra point.

The Rangers two scoring romps in the first half, came on quarterback Paul Middleton's 44-yard gallop and halfback Lester Birnamis 33-yard run. CHS held the Ranger's scoreless in the third period and were able to push over another touchdown at the same time. Again it was Cartwright who supplied the scoring punch on another one-yard plunge. Trojan halfback Don Gabriel, who totaled 255 yards total of- fense against the Rangers, scored the other Catalina score on a one-yard plunge in the final period. The other Rincon tally also came in the final period on a 16-yard pass play from Middleton to Ranger end Bob Rakich. The Rangers, who were ranked tenth in the state prep grid poll going into the game, couldn't get their offensive machine rolling as they were only able to run off 18 rushing plays through the entire game. It was just the opposite for the Trojans as they dominated the ball throughout most of the game while enjoying their biggest offensive thrust of the year collecting 307 yards rushing, plus 81 passing for a total of 388 yards. The win moved the Trojan record to 4-5 on the season with one more encounter remaining on the schedule. 2 Trojan lzalfback Mike Cartwright, fullback Craig Gillaspie and Ken Fox is upended in the third game of the season against Sal- Lancer tacklers are strewn along the field as CHS quarterback pointe.
