Penalties hit the Huskies and can celled three extra touchdown runs all by Ken ujii Striegel Standout Chico relied on power plays built on the short punt formation mass ing interference for plunges or end runs by a tall 186 pound fullback Bob Barram a re converted guard at halfback Tom Spring and slip pery Ron Chrisco rangy left half Standout of the Panthers and one of the best high school linemen seen in this region in a long while was the field leader Bill Striegel 205 pbund tackle This busy fellow called the offensive plays and gave defensive signals and his blocking opened some gaping holes The policy of hammering away for short gains paid off for Chico with a fourth quarter touchdown and almost repeated with another in the closing minutes Watch Barram However improved de fense must be credited with a fine job' The ends Bob Brown Don Watts Bill Hunt and Tom Ytur bide kept runs turned in and never let Barram a 50 second quartermiler in track get loose Linebackers Jeff Morby and How ard Seeman were cutting down run ndfs with shoe string tackles and such linemen as 200 pound Jack Dossey 195 pound Jim Taylor 191 pound Ed Thomsen and 192 pound Howard Wells were very much in the thick of play Wells in particu lar showed a lot of promise Reno scored in the first quarter and again in the third TD came in the fourth The second time Reno got the ball the first play was a screen pass Len Mardian to Ken ujii who dodged behind a wave of blockers and went all the way to complete a 58 yarder But Reno was called on clipping and the ball was moved back to the 41 Undaunted they worked the same tvne play on the next try and again It went all the and without a whistle Mardian bounded into the air and whirled for a jump pass but saw his receiver blocked He came down and faked a run then spotted ujii and let fly The vet eran halfback nailed the ball around the 50 yard line and was accom panied by a convoy of blockers to the goal line George con version kick try was low and it was 6 0 Reno Before the quarter ended a slick trap play sent ujii rocketing up the middle all of 59 yards to the goal line but again a penalty nulli fied this TD try Early in the second quarter Reno got as deep as Chico's 31 yard line before being held for downs Chico then had a chance recovering a Reno fumble on the Huskies' 29 but get more than six yards in four tries It was 6 0 at halftime The luckless ujii had another long run called back early in the third period Howard Seeman in tercepted a Chico pass around 30 yard line zig zagged back to midfield where he later ailed to ujii who raced
