282' - law A . lt was a battle of the defenses at Taft High School in Cleveland's second league contest. After a tieing battle in 1968 the Cavaliers came up with another frustrating tie in 1969. Cleveland fought to the wire, holding Taft until the last 47 seconds when they scored on a one yard plunge. Overall statistics were prac- tically even between both teams. Bowling led the Cava- lier rushing with 106 yards. The Cavaliers remained undefeated with one win and one tie in league play. The world of high school football holds many sur- prises. Cleveland's Cavaliers. in all pre-game polls, were picked to wipe out El Camino Real, but managed to barely slip by the Conquistadores with a margin of 8-O. Offensively,Cleveland dominated the game, total- ing 194 yards. l-lowever, the defenses proved to be equal in ability. The lone Cavalier touchdown was tallied in the third Quarter. Tailback Jim Fenwick virtually pushed himself for 14 yards in three carries to the one-yard-line. Full- back Frank Bowling then took the ball the necessary one yard into the end zone. Two points were added to the score with a reverse by Bill Randolph on the con- version.
