Soph Football Team Registers 8-3 Season Record Led by Coach Tom F algien with assistance from Coach Mason, Coach Larson, and Coach Robinson, the B-Squad finished its season with an 8-3 record, the finest season any Wasson B-Squad has registered. Sophomore gridders established themselves as a po- tential powerhouse as they downed Florence 26-O in their opening contest. The next week, however, the T-Birds lost 14-0 to a strong East Denver team. Apparently their spirit had been aroused, though, because the baby birds JIM RANALS REACHES OUT to stop a Pueblo Centennial player. as Veryl Berry moves in to help. breezed through their next three opponents, downing Trinidad, 12-0, Pueblo Centennial, 12-O, and Pueblo South, 13-12. This string was snapped at three by Pueblo Central, who overwhelmed the T-Birds 13-0. Once more the T-Birds snapped back, this time by beating their next four opponents: Widefield, 20-7, Pal- mer, 13-0, Fountain Valley, 32-14, and Deaf and Blind, 19-0. The final game of the season saw the T-Birds rocked back 40-6 by Pueblo East. RECORD Wasson Opponent 26 ,,,,,, ..,,., F lorence .r,.. ,,,.... 0 O .,,, ,...

VARSITY CROSS-COUNTRY team members. Doug Brenneman, Bill McClellan, Barry Clayton, Allen Britton. and Jeff Berven, jog another 880. JEFF BERVEN, captain of the '63 team. eagerly awaits the starting gun at the Pueblo Invitational. Wasson's Distance Runners Coached by Mr. Jerrold Robinson, the distance team placed a high third at the S.C.L. conference meet. Al- though the team placed second at this meet last season, it was generally felt that competition was considerably stiffer this year. The season, as a whole, was the best in the history of Wassonfs cross-country teams. A very high eleventh was scored at the State Meet, while impressive, firsts, seconds, and thirds were scored at other major meets. Captain Jeff Berven waslthe year's outstanding, runner, and is, no doubt, the best Wasson runner to date. He placed first in five of the meets he entered, and placed third at, the State Meet, also tying the existing state record for the mile and a half at the Aurora Invitational. Bill McClellan and Jeff Berven were the only returning lettermeng as a result of this, the team was relatively in- experienced at the start of the season. With the aid of Allen Britton, Barry Clayton, and Doug Brenneman, how-' ever, the team was well balanced. The turnout of prospective runners exceeded that of all previous years. Because of this interest, a B-Squad was formed, with Mr. Rex Miller as coach.
