yards and one first down before
punting. Cameron threw three
incomplete passes and the Tro-
jans had two plays from its own
15, since 15 yards were assessed
the Big Red for clipping. Penal-
ties totalling 80 yards handi-
capped West In the game, along
with three interceptions.
Third Quarter
West took the second half
kickoff and failed to move, so
punted once more. Cameron
took over at the Yoeman 27 and
on second down, defensive end
Wilcox recovered a fumble at
Piscacek fired
to Wolf for 17 yards and a first

killing a chance to tie the score
once more, or even take the
lead. West held and had the ball
back in five plays and this time
the Trojans were in good field
position at the Yoeman 46. In-
complete passes, penalties and
a couple of losses meant giving
up the ball again. Neither team
could build up enough momen-
tum to get into paydirt in the
third quarter although Wolf
had a 40-yard run nullified and
Clifton Sullivan intercepted a
pass at the Trojan 17. It was
still 20-13 after three exciting
quarters of play.
Fourth Quarter
West continued to mix up the
attack with passing and run-
ning. Piscacek hit Wilcox for an-
other completion, covering seven
yards. Wilcox was hit hard from
behind, but held on to the ball
at the Cameron 39. Then Pisca-
cek hit Wolf for 12 yards. Fin-
ally, on a fourth-and-five situ-
ation at the Yoemen 31, a pass
failed and West had to give up
the ball.
Coach Derrell Carlile brought
David Glomb and several other
new faces in the game and
Glomb, Sammy Sykora, Larry
Vrba, J. W. Hutyra, Bernard
Machovsky, Wolf, James Hand,
Roger Ilodde, Raymond Kolar,
Russell Spicer, Kubacak, and
others controlled the Cameron
boys. West's next possession,
with 8:04 remaining, came from
its own 20, and Ken McLerran,
a defensive back, made his sec-
ond interception of the night,
this time after it bounced off
the intended receiver, Kubacak,
at the Trojan 26. It took eight
plays, but Cameron scored on
the one-yard dive by Steamer
and the game was iced away for
the home town team.
West had two more chances
on offense, one which ended
with an interception b> fullback
Jerry Richardson of Cameron
at the West 25, only to get the
ball back seconds later on a
fumble recovery by J. W. Hu-
tyra. West got two first downs
and 23 yards rushing on its
last try, but despite a great try
all night long, it was a long ride
home for the players and
coaches, perhaps, but not for
tile fans who saw an outstand-
ing non-district game.
Wolf was West's top rusher
with 82 yards in 19 carries while
Urbanovsky had 23 in 10, Mach-
ovsky 7 in 3, and Hutyra 5 yards
in 3 carries.
Wingback James Laury equal-
led Wolf with 82 yards in 10
totes while Thomas had 36 yards
and Steamer 35. Piscacek hit 9-
for-21 and 103 yards and those
two TDs. Wilcox was top receiv
er with 47 yards in 3 catches,
two of which netted him his
first points of the year, and
Wolf had three receptions for
44 yards. The difference in the
total yardage favored West 226
to 224, and although the Yoe-
