Sportons Drill for Friday
Night Tilt Against SDJv

Seeking an offense to pin back
the ears of a strong San Diego
high junior varsity football team,
Coach Larry Hanson drilled his
backs and wingmen on forward
pass offense Tuesday afternoon and
mapped similar practices for We'd
nesday and Thursday. The Spar
tans meet San Diego Friday night
on Central field,
With Riedy, Hester and Kirkpat-
rick tossing passes, the Spartan
aerial thrusts clicked repeatedly
against second string defense. Har-
ner, Havens and zinn we're on the
receiving end of the tosses.
In short scrimmage to climax
the practice varsity backs smoth-
cred second stringers with a diver
sified running attack.
Blocking and tackling was still
a bit on the ragged edge but line
men exhibited improved play or
offense and defense.
San Diego junior varsity will
bring over a fast ball packing squao
with heavy line, Coach Hanson
reported Wednesday, and will give
the Spartans valuable experience
on pass defense.

Not long after, when the Wood

had added to his repertoire and
sounded exactly like saxaphone

Its the prettiest music I've
heard since they broke up the Bos-

friends.
But the real flood OF reports on
Johnstown's ability to create music
while he ran started after his per-
formance in the classic. which saw
him beaten, and badly, by Challe-
don and Sun Lover. OF. the 10000
