In the Face of Defeat Came Triumph Bruised and battered, the Coyotes resumed their grid Wars with the Long Beach lackrabbits in an Armistice Day game at Phoenix. Loss of Clea, the team's sparkplug , hindered the Coyotes as they again Went down in defeat 26-7. With four defeats staring them in the face and still Weak from the San Diego encounter, Phoenix next looked forward to its bitterest rival, Mesa. Boasting an all-state team and a string of victories, the Southsiders seemed to have the game in the bag. But on the Phoenix l-ligh campus, aroused students added fuel to an ever- growing school spirit that was climaxed when the Coyotes nosed out favored Mesa, 26-21, in undoubtedly the best football game of the year on Arizona gridirons. Concluding their season, the Red and Black met Presno's Warriors in the Thanksgiving Day classic. Again, the Coyote aerial attack proved a deadly Weapon with which they smothered Fresno 20-l3. A But Phoenix fans Wanted more, so We engaged powerful Cathedral High School of Los Angeles in a post-season game. Cathedral held a victory over the Southern California League champs, Alhambra. Much to the surprise of everyone, except Coach Rouble, the Coyotes sent the bulky Coast team home on the short end of a 20-7 score.

Ulin, Lose or Draw Fight On! San Diego's Hilltoppers, Don Coyote's prime Coast rival, next beckoned to Phoenix. But the Red and Black invasion of San Diego proved another sad blow. After playing probably the roughest 59 minutes of football in their lives, the Coyotes still held a l4-l3 lead. But in the final seconds of play, blooey! A long pass gave the Coast school a l9-14 victory. Bruised and battered, the Phoe- nix boys returned to the desert homeland for a brief respite before the stout Long Beach lads rolled into town. Olea had suffered a wrenched shoulder that forced him into a two weeks' lay off, and just when the star tosser was begin- ning to click! Rouble's warriors had learned that brute force could be countered with speed and deception plays. Seriously outweighed by every opponent, the Coyotes were to prove a close match for the best California could offer because of the razzle-dazzle and aerial type of attack. Nor could the temporary loss of Tossin' Ted dampen the local squad in its determination to fight for victory until the final gun. Laudable, too, were the efforts of the yell leaders and students who, in the face of repeated set- backs cheered all the louder. The Coyotes responded to such loyalty with an unquenchable zest. fTopJ VVah Phhon 'Woes the Hneu for a Fresno tacklerp fsecond from top? the bench g tcenterl Larry Rouble keeps an eye on the huddlersg Cat rightl Ted Heron's on his way! fBottomJ A San Diego Hill' topper goes through for a long gain against Phoenix.
