The only loss of the season was to East Denver in the state semi-final play- off game. Beginning the season with eleven letter men and a very light and inexperienced squad, it looked as if the T950 Terror team would have a hard time making any kind of showing in state or conference play. The Terrors, with as much spirit as has ever been seen at C,S.l-l,S., finished the season with nine wins and only one loss-showing what a squad of pepped up ball players can do with the student body giving its full support. Opening the season's play with a i9-6 victory over South Denver, the Terrors displayed a blistering ground attack. Although gaining 3l3 yards rushing, the offense completed only two out of ten passes. The Terrors found little need for defensive measures, as the Rebels completed only one pass in as many attempts. fri 2 gn, gt, Q ,- it Q A at ei ss Marvin Brooks KH , 'Q Qgqvsrmor 5.511-1. 5 f FUD?-BALL l - , li .-- 4 Coach Funk s-A00 .HWY 591: Q0 Paul Goss Danny Johnson John Konselman Ynacio Ortiz 28 Sports

This time it was North High School falling to a score of 34-O. While holding the Vikings to only 35 yards on the ground and 68 yards through the air, the C.S.l-l.S. eleven showed the beginnings of strong defense. The Boulder Panthers were the next victims for the Terrors. Although the Panthers put up a strong battle, they couldn't stop the Terror ground gains-which averaged almost 3 yards to Boulder's l. The Panthers toppled 26-6. In Laramie's Plainsmen the gridders found their toughest foe to date. The slow-starting Plainsmen allowed the Terrors an almost unsurpassable margin before they came to life. Taking advantage of lapses in the Terrors' defense, Laramie scored both of its touchdowns making the final score Q4-l4. Playing their first conference game at Canon City, the Terrors showed a slow starting offense. Finally coming through in the fourth quarter, they produced a 20-O win. At Grand Junction a week later the Terrors barely sneaked by the Tigers-l4-6. After battling on even terms for three quarters, the Terrors assured victory for themselves with a safety and a touchdown at the expense of Grand Junction. The Trinidad Miners, although game, were outclassed by the Terrors as the Colorado Springs eleven steam-rolled to a 27-O victory for their second win in conference play. In their third conference game at Pueblo the Terrors ran up against a pass-happy team from Centennial. Picked to be the underdogs, the Terrors had a real scrap on their hands. Pulling all defensive stops, the Terror gridders were able to stop only i9 of the Bulldogs' 39 pass attempts in which l75 yards were gained. Winning this game 20-i4 gave the Terrors a chance at the conference title the next week. John Ratlitte Bob Roper Jack Savage lim Shoemaker Cecil Smethers 30 Sports
