The T-formation clicked again for the Wolves as they ran wild over Puente 27-0, in their third consecutive victory of the season. Wasting no time after the kickoff, left half, Roger Wheeler, went the last 20 yards of a 70-yard drive for a touchdown on a quick-opening play off tackle. Wheeler scored again later in the game as did Colbath. Speedy back, Francisco Sabichi, provided the thrill of the day though, when, in the fourth quarter, he inter­ cepted a Warrior pass, and ran fifty yards past the last Puente defender for a touchdown. The Wolves extended their string of victories to four by de­ feating a strong Corona eleven 7-0. The Panthers and Wolfpack lines battled to a standstill in the first half and neither side was able to score. Finally, in the second half, Claremont unleashed all the power that it had apparently held in check for two quarters and started moving. One Wolfpack drive was stopped on the Corona twelve yard line, but minutes later in the fourth quarter, Wheeler and Colbath carried the ball from the 35 to the yard line from where Birkel punched it over on a quarter back sneak. A conversion pass from Colbath to Depew was good and Clare­ mont had emerged victorious for the fourth straight time. [ 48)
