'1ur' UPPER LEFT: A Chandler halfback struggling to break away from a number of Saguaro players, including Jack McNeil 1665 and Jeff Barton 1401, is finally brought down under the impact of a ferocious sneer from Bill Halpern, 1615. The Chandler Wolves were completely overwhelmed by the Sabers, awesome power and they were soundly wliomped 141-145. UPPER RIGHT: McClintock players are unable to stop Wayne Mattingly 1335 as he hurtles into the endzone en route to scoring one of his three touchdowns. On all three of his touchdowns it looked as if Mattingly would be stopped behind the line of scrimmage or at least stopped for no gain, but by using sheer second effort he managed to get across for a touchdown each time. Other Saguaro team members are Tom Koranda 1725, and Phil Taber 1235. BOTTOM: A great portion of the success of our backfield depended upon the blocking of the line.

To many schools this year, Saguaro became a word which made them shudder. The Sabercats tore apart nine different opponents on the gridiron, while falling to only two. ln their season opener, the Cats rattled the Rockets of Moon Valley, 22-7. Saguaro displayed its strong ground game, which soon became the best in state. Against the Rockets, the Sabers compiled 235 yards rushing, with Wayne Mattingly contributing 155 of them. ln the next contest, against Westwood, the Sabers found out where their weaknesses were, as the Warriors filled the air with footballs in handing Saguaro a 39-18 defeat. The Cats' next two games were against city rivals, Scottsdale and Coronado. Saguaro showed its superiority over these teams, by beating them 48-19 and 28-0 respectively. Scottsdale's Beavers found the Cats unstoppable, as the Sabers ate up 366 yards on the ground. Jim Harness had the night of his life, scoring three times and rushing for 221 yards. The Dons of Coronado failed to score against the Cat defense. Phil Taber ran for two touchdowns and headed the defense in that game, which let Coronado know how football is played. The Sabercats went on to smother Chandler, 41-14. and made ready for the first conference game against Mesa. 102-VARSITY FOOTBALL The Mesa Jackrabbits didn't have much to jump about. The Bunnies were crushed by Saguarois best effort yet, a game which we won by a score of 30-6. The win was the first of five straight league victories for the soon-to-be league champs, Saguaro. The city championship was the next goal for the Sabercat H11 , and they were successful in getting it. The third city rival, Arcadia, didn't give up without a fight, as the Cats emerged the victor by a 20-6 score. The next two games were easily won by Saguaro, though they had to go a long way to win them. 1n Casa Grande, the Sabers wailed on the Cougars, 30-8. The following week they trounced the Yuma Criminals in a wild game, 54-35. This clinched the A-League title for Saguaro, for the first time in our history. The last two games were against Tempe schools. The Buffs of Tempe High found the Cats tough as nails, in their 30-14 whipping. Unfortunately for Saguaro, the second Tempe team was not as easily discouraged. lt was McClintock, as everyone remembers, who ended our football season. The Cats were out in front, until the very end, when the Chargers hit on a touchdown pass, to win, 26-24.
