J jltwf STARTING off the season with a complete crew of inexperienced but hard working boys Coach Bud Robinson took the Thunderbirds down Peoria way to play a veteran Panther team that already claimed two season v1ctor1es The Birds looked like anything but a green team as they struck for two quick TD s 1n the first quarter with Tom Hannah getting both on runs of 18 and 30 yards. From there they held off the Panther offense till the third quarter when Wright, Peoria guard, picked a lateral out of the air and went all the way. Final score: West High 14, Peoria 6.

Clayton Wootton climaxed a 75-yard drive bv plunging from the five for the score. Wayne Haley got the second one on a ten-yard drive through cen- ter. The Beavers scored first when Bracamonte weaved his wav 70 vards to paydirt in the closing minutes of the third quarter. They scored again just before the close of the game, but the try for point was low to give the Thunderbirds their second second straight victory, 13-12. Prescott's class A Badgers came to town a two touchdown favorite and loaded for bear, but they left dragging their tails. In a wild first half. characterized by fumbles and penalties, Prescott built a 13-0 lead. An inspired Maroon and White eleven. led by a Bob Munn passing attack, wouldn't say die though, and went straight to a touchdown at the start of the second half. A Munn to Vestal aerial was good for the score from ten yards out. Munn flipped to Carl Crittcndon for the extra point. After an exchange of kicks. another drive was started, led by Clayton Wootton and Wayne Haley. Haley got the score from the one. and another Munn to Vestal pass brought the game winning extra point. Score: West High 1-4, Prescott 13. The Thunderbirds next traveled to Tempe and came home with their first de- feat in a well played game against the strong Buffs.

Wicky Kay and Haley got the final two scores while Cornford and Neal got the Flagstaff points. Score 20-12. In the big game of the year, Phoenix Tech spotted the Maroon and White a safety and then rolled up a 25-2 victory, thanks to a last half spurt netting them three touchdowns. Outstanding for the Birds was Wicky Kay, freshman end, who continually threw Tech backs for losses behind the line of scrimmage. IN THEIR first year of football, the Thunderbirds can be justly proud of their 5-3 record. They made many mis- takes and learned some things the hard way, but with a year of experience under their belts and Waite Blake the only graduate, class A coaches will have to watch out for the Robinson-coached West High Thunderbirds next year. h TRAVIS Smith 1221 Bill fUnderneath it ally and an unidenti fled Bird bring down a Hornet m the Thanksgiving Game Simis and Crittenden stand by OH, NO YOU DON I' say Waite Blake and Dick Mason to a Phoenix Tech Hornet.

THE NEXT week was a different story as the Flock turned back the Amphitheater Panthers 33-31 in a real thriller. The next four games brought bitter defeat to the ever- trying Birds, but added improve- ment was seen in each as Phoenix Union won 63-44, St. Marys edged a close 40-39, Phoenix Tech triumph- ed 44-31, and the tall Glendale Cards took a 51-42 victory. Traveling to Yuma brought the second win of the seaon 43-38, but it was short-lived as the Criminals retaliated the next night 49-37. An- other trip, this one to Prescott, found the Thunderbirds on the short end of another score 44-39, and the Mus- tangs took their second game 63-44, though they had to work a little harder for this one. In the most poorly played game of the season, Tucson administered a bitter pill 59-35, but the very next night the Thunderbirds found vic- tory sweet in a 55-40 swamping of Amphitheater. It was their second win over the Old Pueblo school. Finding the victory trail to their liking, the Flock almost upset the powerful Mesa Jackrabbits before falling in the last few minutes 39-33.

JUST a good Junior Varsity team, is the way Coach Link Richmond described our Sophomore laden baseball squad, but they gave a pretty good account of themselves. With only two dependable hurlers, Gress and Han- nah, to fall back on, the Thunderbirds were stacked up against the best in the state. West didn't have the top teams losing any sleep but earned the experience that will pay off next year. VARSITY squad: Ctop rowj Manager Patterson, Wootton, Hatcher.
