Gridders Rip Crespi, Lose to Monarchs in Playoffs Morris Henson holds on despite being buried under Crespi tackler. Taking over where they left off in the regular season, the Conquistadores worked their way to a dramatic 22-13 CIF tri- umph over the Celts of Crespi in the first round of playoffs. Senior fullback Tom Von Ins showed the talent that qualified him as an All-CIF performer. Von Ins completely outclassed the Celts with his tough running and strong second effort. He ran for 137 yards in 20 carries including gains of 23, 22 and 21 yards to set up Cabrillo scores. Sophomore Morris Henson tallied two touchdowns on runs of seven and two yards, while Von lns scored on a 21-yard iaunt. Kicking specialist Tony Mason added an 18-yard field goal in the closing minutes to clinch the victory. All-League linebacker Terry Leone headed up the strong Hill defense with 16 tackles in the affair and two key pass inter- ceptions. Joe Stanley, Skip Clary, Dallas Britton, and safety Bob Davis added to the performance of the Big D. The Cabrillo football glory soon came to an end as the following week the lightning fast Monarchs from Morningside raced to a 13-12 victory over the Hillmen. Monarch backs Dick Hastings and Everett Marshall beat the Conquistadores at their own rushing game. Von lns gained 157 yards in 31 carries, but it wasn't enough as two costly fumbles late in the game proved the team's down- fall. Powerhouse fullback Tom Vonlns shows All-CIF form in victory over Crespi Celts.

Experience Prepares Jayvees, Frosh For Future Rolling behind the offensive exploits of halfback Alfred Drake and fullback Don Willis, Cabrillo's freshman football team chalked up a winning 4-2-1 record over the 1967 campaign. Drake led the scoring parade during the season cs with Willis close behind as the two dominated the W . Cabrillo rushing game, while quarterback Ernie Martin and end Scott Stuart provided for a fine passing punch. ln addition, the Conquistador freshmen turned in a determined defensive effort. Out of the four victories of the season, three triumphs were shutouts, coming over Morro Bay, Dos Pueblos and Arroyo Grande. Winning was only secondary for the team this year, commented coach Lovat following the successful season. Our main purpose was to teach the fundamentals and develop a good football atti- tude. We feel we accomplished this and have some fine prospects for future varsity teams as well.
