Baby Birds Earn Three Victories on Sophomore Gridiron WASSON'S SOPHOMORE gridders, under the leadership of Coaches Ed Green and Dick Robinson, posted a losing season which, nonetheless, had its high points as the baby birds earned three impressive victories and two ties. Included in these was a 48-O victory over Widefield, a 20-6 victory over Centennial, and 22-20 victory over St. Mary's. Coach Green's comments on the team were favorable, for he felt that though they were a small team, they displayed excellent teamwork. They compensated for their size in quickness, agility, and a potent passing attack. Wasson Opponent 9 ..,. ...Roncalli... ...12 6 .,.. ...Trinidad... 6 48 .... ...Widefield .. ... 0 7 .... .,..

BACK 4 Q Young Runners Make Bulk Of Thunderbirds' Harriers LED BY veteran Toby Kircher, the T-Bird harriers placed in the top ten schools in many tough meets. They also did well in the state championships by taking eleventh among twenty-six schools. The cross country team was essentially young and inexperiencedg among the top ten runners, two were sophomores, two were juniors, and two were seniors in their first year of competition. Though the majority of the squad was young, Coach Miller's runners fared well throughout the season.
