The three-speedster backfield, Woods captures flag state points in race By Judi Noland Dennis Woods was victorious 1 in the final state championship point race to be held at the Globe-Miami Speedway Saturday night. DENNIS EXHIBITED superb driving ability in a race that was one mix up after the other. A total of 45 cars from the local area and out of town were on hand for this important race.

Those to finish behind Woods and capturing those all important state points were Gary Stump, Monroe Van Meter, Roger Stevens, Don Sink, 01- lie Horton, Ray Sosh, R. C. Whitwell, Bob Baker and Wayne McGonagle. All men drove hard, the action for the night seemed to be bad luck for all, as there were several bad accidents, and spin out after spin out. The first bad mishap occurred in the third heat, when Gary Stump, who was driving Vernon Noland's car because of failure in his own, came through number one turn and then burst into a ball of fire.

EVERYONE IN the stands held their breath as they watched Gary pull himself free from the flames and as the fire was cxtinquished. Stump was determined to keep his standing in the state, so he switched to Bob Meixsell's car and came in second in the main. Clyde Tannahill was the second casualty of the night. He- flipped in the back straight-away, was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where he was treated and released. He was back at the Speedway before the modifieds main started.

Jim Schrum flipped his car in the modified main. He was running second when his car was taken out of the race. He was not hurt, although he was a little hot under the collar. Fastest time of the night set by Jan Ccrey, who turned a fast 17.2U seconds. Bob Meixsell had second fastest time with 17.62.

He was followed by Roger Stevens and C. Whitwell, whose times were 17.65 and 17,66 respectively. WHITWELL TOOK the first trophy dash followed by Bob Meixsell. Lynn Steel presented tlie trophy. Mike Gibson took the second trophy dash, with Paul Lovato placing second.

Buster Kirk was the winner in the first heat, with Bob Kinchc- lo-e, Roy Fields, Lucky Noland and Larry Allen following. The second heat was for late models. Old-timer Opie Mabbitt took this event, as he demonstrated his knowledge of the racing game.

Al Downing, Robert Reeder, and Don Grahnm followed Mabbitt past the flag- man, The "red hot" third heat, was taken by Bob Baker. Scott Ca- zicr, Ralph Rogers, Ollie Horton, and tag on, Les Miller, tried to tighten the gap between them and Baker, but were unable to do so. THE FOURTH heat race was an overly competitive race. Bill Oldham seemed to outrun everyone, yet at the same time was fighting all the other drivers. Oldham received the checkered flag first, ahead of Dennis Gates, Paul Lovato, Clyde Tannahill and Mike Gibson.

The fifth heat was won by Monroe Van Meter, number one man in the state points-wise. Wayne McGonagle, R. C. Whitwell, Roger Stevens and Gary Stump were followers. The semi-main for the modi- fieds was won by Bob Kincheloe.

Time trials for next weekend will begin at 7 p.m. and races will get underway at 8. Gilbert Beltran and Ronnie Anderson as halfbacks and fullback George Rodriguez, should be a yardage eater.

Physically, Beltran is small and light at five feet seven inches and 135 pounds, but Anderson, a sophomore, is a husky five feet 11 inhes, weighing in at about 165 pounds. BELTRAN, a junior, was a sprinter and Anderson, a 100 yard dash specialist on last year's track team. Both- will return to the starting lineup next year with this season's experience under their belts. Rodriguez is the only senior of the trio. A small fullback at five feet nine inches and 148 pounds, Rodriguez has the power in short yardage situations where a dependable runner is essential.

Backups for the running attackers include halfbacks Leonard Lepen and Danny Rios and fullback John Hagan. COACH KEN Guzik has selected his tentative first and second string offensive linemen, but has not announced his starting defense, Danny Garcia is one of four returning lettermen in the offensive front five. A hefty 185 pounds, Garcia will hold the right guard position. It is also expected he'll play defensive tackle. At left guard is Richard Franco, one of the Vandals most determined starters.

He stands five feet 10 inches tall at 180 pounds. RIGHT TACKLE will be held by six-foot, 175-pound Joe Yni- quez. The fastest lineman on the team, his speed should also help him as middle linebacker, a position he's expect- THEY HAVE not wanted peace at all; they have wanted to be spared war as though the absence of war was the same as peace. Dorothy Thompson Pro-Files By Bob Sudyk WHAT BALL CLUB HAD 5 HALL OF FAMERS IN THE LINEUP? ed to fill on defense. Complementing Yniquez at left tackle is the Vandals' biggest lineman, David Fairfield at six feet two inches and 225 pounds.

Fairfield should also play defensive tackle and should slow down any opposing quarterback trying to get off a pass. AT CENTER will be Mike Hernandez, a big junior and brother of Jeff, record-setting kicker from last year. Hernandez is big and strong and a hustler at six feet and 175 pounds. Second team offensive linemen are Jeff Lewis at right guard; Pat Ramos, left guard; Ernie Dorame, right tackle, and Roger Roberts, left tackle. Returning letterman Danny Campos should continue to give starting center Hernandez a battle for the position.

Camipos shonld log considerable playing time. STARTING ENDS on the receiving line Larry Baeza and Gary Stiles are definite possibilities for All-Star honors this year. Baeza, left end, is the only returning letterman who is a junior. Five feet 10 and one- half inches tall at a solid 165 pounds, Baeza is fast and strong with good hands. He proved himself a fine hurdler on last year's track team.

Stiles, six feet and 150 pounds, is fast and is expected to be a team mainstay with quarterback J. C. Brooks. BROOKS, AT six feet four inches and 200 pounds, is the man to watch. He's consistently accurate on both the long yardage gainer or the short down-and-out.

Backing up Brooks at quarterback are Dale Dalle Nogare and Danny Rodrigues, two juniors who have shown good potential. Sec.
