Varsity Football Although the Gahr victory was a very valuable one, the Trojans may have been riding a little high going into the Mayfair game. Losing the contest in front of a packed Bellflower Stadium crowd the Neff gridders dis- covered that league play would not be easy-going. That, compounded with the loss of starting halfback Mike Wagen, brought us another close loss and an over- all record of one win and five losses. Neff ' s second league victim was a much-improved Glenn team. Defense was the name of this game. As Glenn was held to two yards per carry on the ground and only one pass completion for the night. Lance Acker- son , a sophomore , had a good game averaging ten yards a carry on the ground and a nineteen yard pass reception average, along with two touchdowns. Our fourth league game was against Excelsior, a newcomer to the Suburban League. They attempted to put the Trojans out of the running , but our gridders were too inULCn. Neff again relied on a strong running game , spearheaded by Mike Wagen who gained 157 yards on only nineteen carries. A lot of credit is due to the offensive line where 314 total yards were gained on the ground. Defense again shined through registering their first shutout of the year. ' « 154 Football
