GAME CHULA VISTA 6 SWEETWATER T4 Chula Vista's Homecoming Game again brought the staunch rivals, Sweet- water and Chula Vista, together. The gridiron belonged to the Spartans during the first half in such phases as blocking, tackling, and rushing. Chula Vista drew Devil blood early when the first touchdown was made by Gary Hewitt, without a conversion. Late in the second quarter Sweetwater came back to score their first touchdown and point. The Devils were fired up, as were the Spartans, and it became a hard battle on both sides. Defensively and offensively each drove hard with Sweetwater smashing over the goal line for another touchdown and point. Chula Vista fought to gain a lead over the Red Devils but defeat ECHOED through the stands, no louder than the cry of loyal Spartans: Wait 'til next year! lookout for advancing Devils.
