'Nj' A ' M' :ff W-Pl A ' k.kf .V H , f . . aw ' rf Following the tradition of CA Football, this year's team got off to the same disillusioning start. With the return of only one first-stringer from last year's team, John Bass, there was only hope and curiosity in the minds of the CA students and fans. The team fought hard, with great determination, and surprised its opponents at the end of the season with a record of five wins and three losses. Racking up a total of 140 points with only 77 points scored against them, the Mustangs pulled through with a winning record. The C A season started off with a loss to Broomfield, 23-0, but received compliments from the opponents that the team had improved since the year before when CA lost, 34-0. The desire of the team was not to be thwarted as the Mustangs came back to trounce St. Andrews, 25-0. A few mistakes jolted the Mustangs into their second loss of the season to Annunciation, 24-6. But this loss served to boost the spirit of the team as CA fought against Idaho Springs, a team undefeated by CA for two years, to bring home a second win, 12-0. A scrim- mage game the following week-end with George Wash- ington's Junior Varsity was won by C A 's strong defense in a 2-0 victory. The third loss of the season was a hard fought game against St. Anthony's of Sterling, in a 30-20 defeat. Profiting from CA's last loss, the team went on to hound Denver Country Day, 47-0, and chagrin Fountain Valley at C A 's Homecoming, with a victory score of 3-0. Behind the coaching of Bob Simms, Jim Bartlett, and Gary Mitchell, and under the leadership of co-captains John Bass and Campbell Dalglish, the team fought a defensive season. The team's offense at the end of the year, was led by Quarterbacks Mike McCready and Mark Reed, and the running of Allen Cranmer, Ted Richards, Owen Locke, and Campbell Dalglish. Although the team's ability was lacking in a few games, the desire of the whole team to win, wa-s the reason for this year's record.
