One way all the way, SOUTHWESTERN PARE T' DAY POILED Upset minded for the second week in a row Sterling readied themselves to knock of the Builders of Southwestern. Sterling's defense had a job well a- head of them, because of Southwestern strong running attack. Sterling's Warriors again played a terrific de- fensive game. The defense put Sterling on the score board in the fourth quarter. With a hard rush by Marty Ferrick he forced Southwestern's quarterback to throw an off target pass which ended up in the of Bill Blair. The defense then turned to offense and through blocks all down the field as Bill went in un- rnolested. The interception covered about sixty yards. In the closing minutes of the first half Danny Thomp- son dove over from the two yard line to give the Warriors their second score. Sterling went in at half time trailing Southwestern by 3 points. In the second half the Warriors could not mount any drives be- cause of quite a few penalties, and also a toughened Builder defense. Bob Lewis did find it quite easy though to snare passes. Bobalo caught four aerials gor 48 yards. Final score Warriors-13--Southwestern- 2 Q Players' parents honored at game. Can I help too? 123

RPRI E ICTORY Going into a game with the number one team in the Conference and picked to lose isn't very easy. All the Warriors do is show the pickers how much they know about Sterling. Coach Ben- nett and his staff drilled their men in the ways to stop KWU and it all paid off. In a constant rain the Warriors pulled the upset of the season. However to themselves it wasn't an upset but just a tremendous win. Bill Grey didn't pass much because of the rain but when he did he made it count. Bill Grey hit end Bob Lewis over the middle and Touchdown play. if xv Big Lew dragged the Coyotes over the end zone for the score. Bill Grey later scored himself on a quarterback sneak from the one yard line. Dave Purtee made good the two points after touch- downs which was the deciding factor. With the scoring done the defensive team took over to secure the Warrior Victory. The entire defense was outstanding but one person emerged as a standout. Ray Farag, not very big in size but what determination will do. Ray showed those big guards from KWU what the game was all about. Sterling-14--KWU-13. J ubilant Bennett .J
