The Maine West varsity gridmen are facing a tough Glenbrook North squad tonight at 8 p.m. Tonight's home match with the Spartans marks the Warriors' second conference match as West is 1-0 in conference play and 2-2 overall.
Last Friday night the Warriors met a powerful Elgin team in the rain and came away with an 8-0 defeat. Elgin is ranked fourth in the state and had whipped all their previous opponents by 20 points or better. Bad breaks and the weather seemed to cause the Warriors' defeat as Elgin's lone score came in the first period on a 33-yard sweep play. Twice Maine West had the ball inside the Maroon's 20-yard line, but fumbles ended West's scoring threats on both occasions. The defense was outstanding, shutting down the powerful Maroon attack. Defensive standouts were Jose Dieppa and Ken Quinn.
On Saturday, Sept. 24, the Warriors met Waukegan East at Waukegan. The Warriors showed a powerful running attack as they trounced East 34-20. Bob Aslan had 220 yards rushing and three touchdowns as the offensive line, consisting of center Kent Froelicher, guards Ron Daul and Scott Pippen, and tackles Kurt Kunze and Tom Frazier, continued to open large holes in the East defense.
