In the very first play of the game a pass from Vic Prosser to flankerback Pete Franco went nearly all the way. After this the game bogged down to a mid-field battle for three quarters. Towards the end of the last quarter, Prosser passed to Chuck Horton, who moved the ball to the Arroyo three-yard line. Prosser then sprinted over with only one minute and ten seconds left in the game to score Tennyson's historic, first-ever touchdown. ln order to make their lone score, the Lancers had to gain 299 yards. They showed a little more of a ground game, as they totaled ninety yards via the turf.

Preceded in scoring touchdowns by Franco lib and Ruskofsky 125, Guy Beach makes a fourth. This touchdown resulted from a sixty- nine-yard drive which was spearheaded by both Guy Beach and Ed Janke.

TEN NYSON-26 CASTLEMONT-l 3 At the outset this game did not appear to be a Tennyson victory as Castlemont scored the first touchdown. But the Lancers roared back with their best offensive showing of the season to chalk up a nineteen-to-seven halftime lead. Tennyson's first touchdown was set up by a miserable kick by the Knights. The Lancers took over on the Castlemont forty-two, and eight plays later Rodrigues went three yards for the score. After a short series of downs by Castlemont, the Lancers fired a second drive early in the sec- ond quarter as Mandle hit Chuck Horton in the end zone. Castlemont fumbled the next kickoff, and nine plays later Rodrigues again scampered over the goal, after which Jim Clenney booted the extra point to make the score 19-7. Tennyson's offense slowed down in the second half because of substitutions and numerous penal- ties. A five-yard pass from Dayle Mandle to Ken Moulton accounted for the final score. Castlemont scored again in the lastquarter. Then Tennyson's Carl Kant intercepted a pass and ran sixty-five yards for a score which was nullified by a clipping penalty. f Driving up the middle, Rodrigues falls two yards short of a toudwdown in the Washington game.
