La Sierra 32 San Juan 6 As the Sacramento Bee was later to comment, this was the grid upset of the year. That statement, refer- ring to the Spartan’s defeat by La Sierra, was one of the most truthful to ever grace the pages of the afore- mentioned journal. In this game we could do no wrong. Pagenkoph intercepted two passes, running one back all the way, and threw another TD to Brown to tally again. Hayden made a tremendous 70 yard dash after powering his way through 3 would-be tacklers. All around, this was one of the greatest games played by a Longhorn team. BOB RII.EY DAN RAMSEIER

Armijo 26 La Sierra 13 An unbeatable combination of bad breaks and un- fortunate penalties united to deal the Longhorn varsity their first league defeat against Armijo. Despite the fact that the Longhorns punched the ball across the goal 5 times in the first half, only 2 of these TD’s counted on the scoreboard. In spite of these bad breaks, the varsity left the field at half time in the lead, only to see that lead slowly whittled away. This was the first time Armijo beat the Longhorns in 3 years of compe- tition. JIM OWEN ROn PAGENKOPF County All-Star

BOB ROBINSON RICH TOON CLARK WALKER Wilson Attempts a Pass. CECIL WETSEL Marshall 26-13 La Sierra entered this their last game with high hopes of dethroning the undefeated Wildcats. Unfortunately the power of the Marshall team was too much for the Long- horns. The Longhorn junior team got a good tryout with Wilson quarterbacking for awhile. The defeat climaxed a rather unsuccessful season, win wise, but it was rather a surprise to some people when they saw how well the Longhorns did, considering their inexperience. The fact remains that the Longhorns will be a tremendous threat next year. Good Luck! 194 JERRY WILSON
