TEN NYSON-l 3 WASHINGTON-6 Tennyson got a break late in the first quarter when Washington fumbled a punt, which Lancers Harry Crouch and Pete Franco recovered on the Wash- ington twenty-one. A good fake and a roll-out around the right side of the Tennyson line by Dayle Mandle was good for sixteen yards. Two plays later he went over from the two. Washington threatened in the second quarter as Steve Gossard ran a Lancer punt twenty-one yards back to the Tennyson thirty-four. Four plays later Puppie quarterback Sandy Rodarte connected with Gossard for a pass play that would have gone all the way except for a fine defensive maneuver by Franco. A little later Gossard put Washington on the score- board with only three minutes left in the third quar- ter, as he went over from the one. With only a minute and ten seconds to go and the score tied six to six, Carl Kant blocked a punt, which Rodrigues captured and raced into the end zone for the Lancers fifth straight victory.

TENNYSON-26 FREMONT-l 3 The Lancers abandoned their usual emphasis on passing and used every player on the bench as they rolled over Fremont for their third straight win. A thirty-yard kickoff-return by Ken Ruskofsky set up Tennyson for the first touchdown. After a series of downs, Prosser rifled a pass to Pete Franco in the end zone. The first time the Lancers got their hands on the ball in the second half, they charged seventy- one yards down the field, with Ken Ruskofsky finally taking the ball over from the two-yard line. A bad punt by Fremont provided the setting for the Lancers' third score. After a fifteen-yard runback, they took possession on the twenty-five, and Ruskofsky again smashed across for the score. Still another touchdown was made after a sixty- nine-yard drive spearheaded by halfback Guy Beach and fullback Ed Janke. Beach plunged over from the two-yard line for the final score of the game. Nlandle, playing a little tovvard the end of the second quarter and most of the second half, emerged the Lancers' leading ground gainer, with seventy-nine yards in sixteen carries. Ruskofsl-my smashes over for a touchdown against Castlemont. gif!!! 1 I 447511 Zf2T7J1ffi QQZAZQ. s if il! J 4.15-ze,nWMy.2.1 fi., .,,A42.K,1?,H.,.l'VQ 'iii Ay 645535

TENNYSON-18 RAVENSWOOD-O In their only varsity game, the Lancers upset a strong Ravenswood eleven. Regarding this final game of the season, Coach Dick Jones reported it to be the best all-around performance of the year. A slow-moving first quarter ushered in a breath-taking second period, in which Tennyson missed one excellent scoring opportunity as flank- erback Pete Franco dropped a pass in the end zone. Undaunted, the Lancers assured the scorekeep- ers some business as Terry Brown soon intercepted a pass and raced it back to the Ravenswood nine- teen, Five plays later, Paul Peterson ran for the first touchdown. For Tennyson's second touchdown, Dayle Man- dle passed to Ken Moulton, who was standing alone in the end zone. In the few remaining minutes of the game, Paul Peterson made the final score of the season by evading all tacklers in a smooth sweep around the right side. son Ralph Russell Larry Qtoclftor D rry N r Bll Besemar Cruclf H rtoh Tom Johnson, Ken Moulton, Harry Crouch, Dale Sinor, Managers li itil!!-ll! iii
