Covina Argus from Covina, California • Page 3

Octob.r IB, TOM'S TALES By TOM MORGAN Pigskin ponders: Coach Jerry McClcllan has more than redeemed himself from last year's showing in the minds of the Covina High pigskin followers, as the-locals are after their fifth straight win. tomorrow evening in their San Gabriel Valley League opener. At this time last season, Covina had recorded only a 1-2-1 mark. It looks ns though the Colts will get their fifth I Humph, for California has yet to enter the win column tins season. But the Condors arc tough, as Coach Stan Cramer has had his team battling all the way and the winner has never heeii determined until the fourth period Covina offenses completely mailed Pomona Catholic's defensive unit in last week's outing as Frank Reed and Curt Riogal passed the oval for 179 yards, and the torrid ground game of the Colts came through for 16fi yards.

This was by far the best offensive performance of the campaign for the undefeated locals. But the Spartans combed Covina's thrice upon rlefen.se for the most yardage relinquished this season, as the- invaders, racked up yards on the ground and 85 through the air lanes. Carlson Back In Shape Dave Carlson, an all-league nominee from last years fifth place club, proved to the overflow crowd that he had recovered from a back injury in the Pomona Catholic win as he carried the pigskin 70 yards in seven attempts. Carl.son was making his first all out performance of the campaign. Mulitchcllo appears us the top choice for the title, as tlie Oilers have rolled past four opponents in easy fashion.

But Covina has matched the favorites almost touchdown for touchdown in each win. and it looks as though the Covina-MontcbeJIo tiff slated for four weeks from tomorrow on Covina grounds rould very well determine the champion. But the two clubs will have to hurdle their first three 1 loop opponents, and any entry in the we'll balanced league 1 is capable of an upset. Bellflower will. be fighting for a slice of the title cake also.

Upset Possible Although their practice records failed to impress thej grid experts, California, El Rancho, and Baldwin Park cannot be forgotten and it could be said that one of the three crews could upset the favorites in their stretch drive. Covina's defense has played a remarkable role in the Colts' 1-0 record, as the defensive gang has been rather stingy in the points per game department. They linvc allowed but 4.75 digits per outing. Then compared to Covina's 23 point per game average to date, it looks as though Coltville opponents are in for a rugged test this season. Covina's pass defense came through with flying colors; in the Colts last appearance also, as the secondary de- 1 fciLsivc performers hauled in four enemy passes and; stopped two scoring throats with the interceptions.

One theft was turned into a touchdown. McClellan's assistant mentors, Jim Monson and Frank, Haven, have done a swell job in training the Colts forj their rugged slate. Moason handles the linemen, while Haven is tending with the ball carrying part of the 1956, Covina High squad. Fans Support Team The support of the Covina fans has been in the first four games, as three overflow crowds packed into the local stadium for the home games and a large turnout also arrived at Bonita when the Colts copped their third win. A change in schedule has given Covina one more home game than they would have received, as Bellflower High changed their game with the Colts to Covina grounds on Saturday evening, October 27.

The tiff was formerly scheduled for the Buc turf on Friday evening October 26, but Bellflower was unable to secure the field. If Covina rooters continue to pack the stands for the Colt engagements, it should be little trouble for the local pigskinncrs to please their backers until the all-important Montebello battle when both teams are expected to be in top shape and in top snirits.

Defense Brilliant Covina's brilliant defense will be concentrating their efforts on two of the top backs in the league tomorrow evening, as Mike Farrier and Ron Lucas will be handling the pigskin most of the time for the Condors. Lucas will be holding down the quarterback post, while his right hand mate will be Farrier who operates from the halfback slot. Both exceptionally fast, and Lucas is one of the best punters in the league.
