Ti00 Placed on All-Conference First Team Fighting off a tackle, fullback Bob Ziemba gains a few precious yards against Sahuarita. The much coveted undefeated season slipped from the grasp of the Clifton Trojan football squad on the first game of the season. The Cowboys from Willcox outclassed the Trojan gridders by a score of 15-0 and ruined the hopes of a much-talked-about 11—0 season. Though this first loss was a great disappointment, there was still speculation for a conference crown. One of the more interesting games on the path to that goal was played against St. Johns, another team eyeing the same title. The final tally was Clifton 1, St. Johns 0, with the outcome being decided by the team with the deepest penetration in sudden death. The final two games of the season buried all wishful thinking on the part of the Trojan squad. Head Coach Andrew Brown ended his first season in that position with an overall 5-4 record. Joe Morales and Bob Ziemba were selected to the All-Conference of- fensive first team. 23 Halfback George Sandoval tries des- perately to elude Mustang defender.
