 FIFTH FOOTBALL
 VICTIM OF WILEY
Salvatore Outstanding in lS-7 Victory; Wildcat
 Line Goes We'll

Playing head-up football under lights proved no handicap to the current Wilby High school Wildcats, who have been doing all their scor- ing in the daytime until last night, cold and windy evening at Muni- cipal Stadium during which 1,500 spectators saw the well-balanced Lee grid machine roll over Com- mercial High of New Haven for an eventual 18 to 2 victory, which could easily have been 24 or 25 points as a late Wilby touchdown pass of 35 yards was junked by the officials because Wildcat back was illegally in motion.
 Before the adult and adolescent patrons could hear their teeth chat tering, Wilby started from scrim- mage on the 20 yard line follow ing the opening kickoff into the end zone, and, on the first play, Captain Eddie Salvatore faxed a pass to Overton, completed a spinner rush. ed through the left tackle slot, and ran 72 yards before being hauled from behind on the Commercial 8 yard stripe. Three plays later, with Yarnell and Salvatore alternating as carriers, Yarnell scored from the one yard line, Salvatore kicked for point and missed.
 Fine Line
 And so it went, with Wilby hav- ing very much the upper hand be- cause it showed an alert, hard- charging line, coached by Paul Devino, which broke up many of Commercials fancy plays and ''hip- per-dipper" stuff, though the New Haven lads were monarchs of all they surveyed for a while in the third period, following a between the-halves pep talk by Coach Ralph Walker that must have made their ears ring. Yet, when Commercial got real dangerous that Wilby line was "there" in the clutch broke Up plays and three times recovered the ball on or within the ten yard line. A sustained drive in the last half that gained 50 yards brought Com- mercial its only score when Munk and Farcalais, got away from Wilby tacklers who seemed to have ilad them stopped, but g short pass, Trimble to Farcalais brought a touchdown. Popendeck kicking the point. One of Wilhy's three toucn- downs came on a nice forward pass, Yarnell to Overton, while another from the same passer to Sizer vas ruled out because a Wilby back fielder was moving at the wrong time. Another of Wilby's scores, followed 6 drive along the ground of more than 90 yards, Salvatore scoring.
 Commercials fancy Dan stuff caught Wilby mapping now and then, but it was ineffective when the visitors got within reasonable scoring distance. That Wilby is well on the way to state champ ionship at least among Class B schools is very certain at this time though Commercial is Class "C'' school team, but had not been de- feated until it tangled with Coach Jimmy Lees lads this week, having been held to scoreless tie by Leavenworth earlier in the season The Wilbys have scored 93 points in five games without loss, 14 points being scored against the team, an average of better than three touchdowns per game.
