Varsity Football: Evaluate By Effor' lt would have been a mistake to evaluate success in terms of wins and losses and disregard the determination and perserverance displayed by the varsity football team. The loss of last year's offensive line proved to be one determining factor of Charter Oak's fourth place standing in league. The team also faced an appar- ent lack of size. Nevertheless, Charter Oak performed considerably well against such high-scoring teams as San Dimas and district rivals Royal Oak, al' lowing only 20 and 28 points respec- tively. Charter Oak was one of the first teams to suffer at the hands of the Dia- mond Bar Brahmas, enduring a 45-O defeat which foreshadowed Diamond Bar's C.l.F. triumph. The Lancers were able to emerge victorious from their homecoming game against Bassett, de feating the Olympians 20-lil. Such admirable performances were something to be proud of and perhapt contributed to the incessant effort pu forth by the team. Charter Oak finished one victory short of the play-offs, with a respectable 3 and 7 record. M M.S. Sz N.O. -' ..i FRONT ROW: L. Martin, G. Rodriguez, S. Smith, M. Henderson, l. Hensley, l. Harms, L.

l .V. Football-A Determined Defense The most successful of Charter Oak's three football teams was the junior var- sity level. They finished their season with the competitive record of 2 and 5, with three ties in league. HThe ties were really frustrating, because we felt as if we had come so close to winning, commented one of the players. The Lancers' low scores in these games were attributed to C.O.'s exten- sive defensive strength. This allowed them to hold powerful offensive teams, such as San Dimas, to equally low scores. Only once did the Lancers score more than one touch down in a league game. On this occasion, they defeated Royal Oak 28-Ql in a very offensive game. This event proved to be the high point of the season. Determination played a major part in this victory, as well as in every game they played. Their common desire to win united them and enabled them to function well as a team. Our determi- nation was probably our greatest asset because it was the basis of all of our strength, commented tightend Tony Albin. FRONT ROW: D. Fiol, M. Gallino, l. Salvaggio, S. Papez, N. Pill, B.

While attempting a first down, Greg Peplin blocks tor Marc Lacey. The Lancers' attempt falls short and Baldwin Park wins 24-O. Striving for extra yardage, lason l-latterman moves the ball toward the Lancers' goal. Howev- er, Workman stops his momentum while C.O. lost 20-O.
