Fridays s Granger-Olympu- leaguelaunching grid battle was described on one hand as a pathetic effort and on the other as brilliant. Granger Coach Mike Fraser was the one who termed it while pathetic, mentor Louie Long admitted he was immensely satisfied Titan with his victory teams that put a 42-- 0 damper on Homecom-in- activities g at Granger high. Both teams are being advised to forget it, however. Each will be involved in Homecoming festivities again tomorrow (Friday). The Titans travel to Cottonwood for a 3 p.m. kickoff, while Granger visits Cyprus for a 7 p.m. test. Olympus has lost two straight to Cottonwood after opening week blitzings of Granger and that has Long concerned.

Had it not been for countless penalties in the first half, the final margin quite likely would have been much larger. Granite frequently started drives in good field position, only to retreat because of penalties and sacks. Cottonwood, on the other hand, started most of its offensive thrusts with its back to the wall. And the sputtering Colt offense was not up to the task of improving its position with a sustained drive.

For the past two years, however, Cottonwood has entered the Olympus game as underdog, then knocked off the favorite to e build a victory string. The question tomorrow is: Can the Colts make it four in a row? The answer will come in a contest that starts at 3 p.m. It will be negative if the Colts play like they did against Granite, which is on the road against Skyline, a k loser to Cyprus. The Eagles couldnt generate much offense against the Pirates and that could prove to be a problem against the Farmer defense, which has been tough three-gam- first-wee- all year.
