Vaqueros Lose 20-O Chula Vista 20 -- El Capitan O lt was Spartan halfback Fred Olmsted who spelled death for the Vaqueros as the Blue and White rolled over El Capi- tan, retaining their first place hold in the Metro loop. After moving fifty-four yards in fourteen plays the .Spartans scored their first six followed by Scarboro's extra point. Again in the third period, sparked by Jim Scarboro, Olmsted tal- lied, giving the Chula Vistans a fourteen point lead going into the final stanza. In the last quarter another Spartan drive of seventy yards set up the final touch- down of the night, giving the Spartans ci 20-0 victory over the Cowboys. However the victory was overshadowed by the injury of one of our star players, defensive halfback Bill Ellis, who was off the field for the rest of the season Devils -.....,,, N - -as-f. - .

Spartans Upset Grossmorrt Spartan end Mike Armbrust and fullback Ray Schmautz team up to drop another opponent. Chula Vista 27 - Grossmont 13 Grossmont, rated number in the Metro League, soon fell short of their expecta- tions. Jim Scarboro led the Spartans in disproving these theories by chewing up a total of seventy-one yards and scoring four touchdowns. Five minutes into the first quarter halfback Jim Scar- boro drove three yards for the first six, once more within the quarter he tallied after a Foothiller fumble on their nine yard line. The second quarter saw quarterback Gary Meggelin with passes of twenty- three and thirty-tvvo yards, each with the final yard being covered by Scarboro. Shortly after, aFoothilIeropenecl up for a fifty-eight yard sprint and the first Foothiller score. Another tally by Gross- mont's Hamlin, plus a fourth Spartan touchdown, made the final score Chula Vista 27, Grossmont 13.

Threaten Title Chula Vista 6- Sweetwater 7 The Chula Vista-Sweetwater tilt always proves exciting because of the rivalry which exists between the two schools. The Red Devils were unusually fortunate this game as the Spartans led in every department except the score. Early in the first quarter Sweetwater recovered a Spartan fumble and tallied their only, but fatal, score of the evening. lt took Chula Vista a quarter to get mov- ing, after receiving the ball on the Sweetwater twenty-four yard line, Fred Olmsted plunged over for the score, the conversion was missed and the Sweeties led by one point, After two Spartan gridders were side- lined on questionable official decisions, Ray Schmautz filled in one of the vacant spots and played a brilliant game dem- onstrating Chula Vistas tremendous po- tential and depth. Between Bill Mayer, Ray Schmautz, and the efforts of Jim Scarboro, who aver- aged 6.8 yards per carry, Chula Vista came close to scoring on several occa- sions, but not quite close enough. This made the second half a strong defensive battle in which neither team was able to score. The final score, after probably the most exciting game of the season, was Chula Vista 6, Sweetwater 7. Mike Armbrust l2Ol goes high into the air in an attempt to pick off a Gary Meggelin pass. Spartans Scalp Braves Chula Vista 21 El Colon 7 Early in the first period El Cajon scored their first and only touchdown. Defensive halfback Bill Ellis intercepted two Brave passes in the first half and on one, halfback Fred Olmsted ran forty- nine yards leaving the score 7-7 at the half. After moving the kick-off to the El Caion forty-four yard line, the ball was soon brought into scoring position. Quarter- back Gary Meggelin's pass to Fred Olm- sted then changed the score to T4-7. The Spartans began a seventy-five yard drive, led by Dick Slinkard and Bill Mayer, and topped by Jim Scarboro's plunge, which increased the score to 21-7. During the evening, halfback Olmsted piled up a total of seventy yards, half- back Jim Scarboro added eighty-three yards of his own to receive the honor of Metro League Player of the Week. Dick Slinkard H61 is grounded after ci short run, deep in El Caion territory. lril
