Santa Cruz Sentinel from Santa Cruz, California • Page 16

Mark Brrgstrom Sfiitincl Ass't. Sports Kriitor Except for providing plenty of excitement and some football, the big showdown between Santa Cruz High and Monterey last week did little toward settling the Monterey Bay League race. The Cardinals and Toreadorcs are no better and no worse off than prior to that "big" game at Memorial Field. The two teams are still tied for the MBL lead, but now with 2 0-1 records. With that showdown in the past, every game now becomes a big one.

for a loss now by either team, could well do the settling of the standings. Santa Cruz will seek to avoid elimination tomorrow night when they take on the Seaside Spartans at 8 o'clock at Memorial Field. The varsity game will be preceded by a junior varsity contest at 6 o'clock. Monterey High will continue its quest for the championship with a night encounter in Salinas against the Salinas Cowboys. According to Santa Cruz Head Coach Dick Logan, last week's "good" game has had positive affect on practices this week.

The Cards have done some adjusting on defense in preparation to meet Seaside's single wing offense. Offensively, the Card format remains unchanged. The Redbirds have been hampered by numerous nagging injuries, the kinds of bumps and bruises expected after a game like last week's, according to Logan. He notes most seriously injured are end Tom Mitchell and lineman Ben Krupp. Both have sprained ankles, but will see limited action tomorrow night.

Logan is expecting a good game from Seaside, a team which at any time can throw a wrench into anybody's title plans. The Cardinal mentor says the Spartans are not the giants they were last year, but feels they may be stronger because of it. He notes Seaside possesses better line speed than last year and once again has "very deceptive backficld speed." "That we have to stop," says Logan. The Spartans are 1-1-1 in league play, beating Wat-sonville, losing to North Salinas and tying Soquel. Last week's upset tie with Soquel, 14-14, was one of three in the MBL.

In non-league play, the Spartans downed Willow Glenn of San Jose and lost to Mission Trail Athletic League co-leader, Pacific Grove. Here are Santa Cruz High's starting lineups lor tomorrow night's game: Offense Left end Steve Seymour, left tackle Gene Anderson, left guard Scott Stole, center Roy Trowbridge, right guard Pat Sines, right tackle Jerry Vellutini, right end Murry Fleming, quarterback Kirk Waller, left halfback Al Marshall, right halfback Dee Herren, fullback John Carniglia. Defense Ends Dale Lyster and Dave Paul, tackles Sam Mathues and Stolle, midle guard Scott Graff, linebackersGary Rochelle, Sines, halfbacks Bill Johnson and Herren, safety Fleming, monster man Ebie. (See Santa Cruz statistics this page) Knights Shake Up Defense For Wildcats his defensive tackle spot to 1 Watsonville's strongest point ago and was ineffective against Offense Left end Lon Shears, left I'm 4 ft By John Lindsay Sentinel Sports Editor Soquel High's football team, last week at this time a major tontender in the Monterey Bay League title race, tomorrow Tiight try to recover from the shocking 14-14 tie with Seaside which put the Knights in the back seat of this championship chase. The Knights are one the road for the third straight week as they travel to Watsonville for an 8 o'clock encounter with the Wildcats.

A junior varsity preliminary is scheduled at 6 o'clock. Last week, Soquel went into Tompkins reports that his team has been working hard on defense to try to find the right personnel. Pete Bockman and Gary Fu-sari will remain at starting defensive end spots, and Gary Fleming (cornerback) and Wayne Kirby (safety) will hold their starting positions. But outside of those players, Soquel's defensive alignment will not resemble last week's starting eleven. Moving to tackle positions are junior Jerry Newby and Dick Wood, who has been the starting offensive right tackle all year.

Tom Feurtado moves from the Seaside game with a 2-1 loop record, its only defeat coming from league leading Monterey. The Knights were solid picks against the Spartans but came home with the tie which was nearly as damaging as a loss at this stage of the tight Monterey Bay League race. This week, Soquel head coach Dewey Tompkins is making major changes in his defensive lineup, because "we're trying to strengthen our defense. In the last two games, we've given up 36 and 14 points. I don't think that's quite right," says Tompkins.

Monterey scored a 36-29 win over the Knights. North Salinas last week, when the 'Cats suffered a 25-6 defeat. Currently, the Wildcats are 0-5, being defeated by Cubberly, Bellarmine, Seaside, Salinas and North Salinas. If Foxworthy should be able to start, sophomore Dave Rauch will take over. In Watsonville's start i backfield will be fullback Mike Thompson, wingback Brad Bar row and Halfback Dan Bayle.

Gary Probert, an offensive half back starter until this week, moved to the defensive back-field.

Russ Ostrello is the Palma fullback.

Palma dropped its opening game of the season to the Salinas Cowboys, 13-6, then took second place in the San Lorenzo Valley Jamboree. Palma lost its MTAL opener to the SLVj Cougars when Ron Simoni booted a 43-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining in the game. The tough Palma defense had King City on the ropes for three quarters, 7-6, two weeks ago but faltered in the final quarter, losing, 19-7. Holy Cross is sharpening its offense in practice for the Chieftains and has worked on improving its defenses in anticipation of a Palma passing attack.

Don Masters, who regularly teams with Kirby as deep backs, injured his ankle in the Monterey game and won't play tomorrow night, according to Tompkins. Ron Dobson, a starting cornerback at season's start, will suit for the Watsonville game. He has missed three games due to injury.

"The club shooters should gain some sport as the late rice crop is harvested, the checks burned and the paddies flooded. "But it will take a solid storm up north, including a freeze, to really get the birds out of the Klamath Basin heading south in quantity. Until this happens, the hunt ers, particularly in the south ern end of the state, will have puny Dickinss.

Many hunters were beefing that the late ODeninc of nuh- lie hunting on many of the Key retuges hurt the early sport. The contention was that the fowl were rafting instead of roamine. This problem should be solved by Saturday when oray Lodge in Lassen Coun ty, and the National Wildlife Retuges at Sacramento. Dele- van, Colusa and Sutter all open to limited public shoot- ing.

The Panthers are also 1-0 in conference play By Bill Lovejoy Sentinel Sports Writer Holy Cross' Panthers, losers in three of their last three games, meet Mission Trail Athletic League cellarmates Palma tomorrow night at 8 o'clock on Huntsman Field. The Chieftans started the season as one of the rated teams in the MTAL but so far their potent offensive backfield has failed to materialize. Holy Cross has been in trouble in the past two games, giving its opponents a quick edge in the opening quarter. To this point the Panthers have allot ted ti points in the opening period, only 10 less than the Hilltoppers have scored all year. The Panthers will be filling three holes in the lineup this week and will also be playing at least two more with injuries.

Tardo Stagnaro, Phil Bagnas-co and Steve Herriott will all be lost to Holy Cross for the Palma game and possibly for the remainder of the year. Stagnaro aggravated a minor elbow injury in the Hollister game last week and has not had any contact during the week's practice sessions. Bag-nasco played in the first minutes of the Hollister loss before tearing ligaments in his knee. He may be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Herriott sustained his injury during practice this week and is expected to miss the Palma game.

Mike Herrick leads the Palma backfield from his quarterback post. The 175-pound signal caller has impressed with his passing and calls a balanced game. Mike Gutteriez is the leading Chieftan runner.

Raiders Practice Under Pressure Oakland (JP) Practice pres is getting heavy for the Oakland Raiders in the wake of two straight American Foot ball League losses. Last year's circuit champs are rated 20 point favorites against the Cincinnati Bengals at the Oakland Coliseum Sunday.

"The Bengals are a hard-hitting, aggressive club," said middle linebacker Dan Conners. "We'll have to beat them physically." Raider guard Wayne Hawkins returned to the lineup yesterday after missing three games with an injured knee. 35 1 301 SC Area Santa Cruz By The Associated Press Opening weekend of the California waterfowl season proved disappointing because the weather wasn't foul 15 enough. Bird populations were sufficient in most northern and central California areas but the weather came up for bluebirds, mid-summer stuff. Ducks and geese weren't moving.

Precincts below the San Francisco Bay and Delta were in bad trouble. There were only scattered flocks in the upper San Joaquin Valley and the prevailing Indian Summer did little to add to the supply. Typical results were on the state waterfowl management areas where accurate kill counts are kept. The take during the opening shoots were far below last year when the weather came up on the blustery side. Frank Kozlick, chief waterfowl biologist for the California Department of Fish and Game, figured the early duck kill was barely half that of a year ago.
