IQ 1.-A I3-ALM-fx Q55 HENRY A. SCI-1oTT 1932 FOOTBALL REVIEW -By HENRY A. Scuorr ITH but three football lettermen returning this year, the prospects for another championship football team at Citrus Union were anything but bright. But with a fine feeling of cooperation and harmony coupled with a unified purpose of giving their all for Citrus, the squad gradually rounded into a very smooth working machine which continued to show improve- ment until the Flu Bug and injuries depleted our ranks and morale. E1 Monte, then underdogs, traveled to Cit- rus at this time and very easily won. The last game with Excelsior was for the championship, but here the Citrus boys found themselves greatly outweighed and faced a group of veterans. A few breaks for Excelsior helped to 'blast what championship hopes we once had. THE GAMES -By Av.-uw WzX'I'IiINS CITRUS-7, MONTEBELLO-Z The Citrus Varsity Cougars ushered in the season by triumphing over the Montebello Oilers for the ninth con- secutive time. - CITRUS 21, PUENTE-0 Playing c h a m p io n s h i p football throughout the -second half, the Citrus Cougars turned back the supposedly strong Puente Indians on Puente's greensward. CITRUS-0. EL MONTE-20 Determined, fleet-footed gridiron warriors from El Monte completely swamped the flu-stricken Citrus elev- en in a disappointing upset. The scoring, all of which occurred in the First half, came as a result of perfected running and passing plays on the part of El Monte. CITRUS-14, DOWNEY-0 VVith the addition of a few veterans, Coach Schott's recuperated Cougars took into camp the apparently weak Downey Maroons on the latter's Field. CITRUS-12, EXCELSIOR-25 With the championship at stake, two evenly matched teams, Citrus and Excelsior, met on the Pilots' Held and played undoubtedly the most spectac- ular football ol any league game this season. The never-die spirit of the student body and the lasting Fight of the team marked the ending of our season. ROSTER QLettermen and manager are starredj VARSITY Row 3: Moody, Osborn, Stratton.

5 z ' I 9 I L U I c . IQ LA IDALM,-A 55 CLASS B FOOTBALL -By DON.kLD R. WATSON , Tthe start of the 1932 season the p r o s p e cts for a suc- c e s s f u l lightweight E 0 o t b a l l team were n o t v e r y encourag- ing w i t h only o n e letterman reporting from last year and the squad smaller than usual. V l DONALD R. WATSON In October the first league game was taken from Montebello by a 6-0 score. After losing a practice game to South Pasadena, the team completed its reg- ular season without further defeats or any points being scored against it. The scores were: Citrus 14-Golden State Military 0, Citrus 0-E1 Monte Og Cit- rus 13-Fremont Iunior High 0, Citrus 7-Excelsior O. This is the best defensive record made by the Citrus lightweights, for not a point was scored against them in league competition or in a regular game. By holding El Monte to a score- less tie, Citrus gained a tie for the league championship and was awarded a trophy. This fine record was produced as a result of team work and a great fight- ing spirit rather than by any star play- ers. In Bud Miller, captain, and Bill Timmons, quarterback, the team had two leaders in whom everyone had con- fidence. Other members of the squad who made letters were: H. Brown, C. Brown, Demmitt, Evans, Fulton, Goff, Green, Hunter, Miller, Oki, Osborne, Ott, Perkins, Smith, Speer and Wat- kins. The team was coached by Mr. Watson, and Emerson Rhyner and Fred Reddin acted as managers. CLASS C FOOTBALL -By RALPH H. PRYOR , NLASS C football started out with a bang. About 5 jthirty prospective candidates reported the first night. While the team did not win all its games, it gave a very good account of itself. The team had prob- ably the best backfield the C's have had for years. Much will be heard from these boys before they com-' plete their high school days. The following boys won their letters: Nakada, Aguilar, Potter, Lopez, Light, Molina, Iarvis, Meier, Ray, French, Ogas, Davis, Avalos. Iwrnly-jaur RALP1-1 H. P11Yo11
