The Cee basketballers had a good season this year, winning four games and losing two, thus ending their season in second place in the Eastern-RCL. Coach Walt Hackett's Cees opened their season with a win over the Palm Springs Indians, 21 to 11. Beaumont fell next to the red-hot Arab quintet with a close score of 39 to 35. Still undefeated in League play, the Coachella squad took their next two games from Banning and Palm Springs, but finally ran out of gas when they lost to the Beaumont Cees. The Cees finished their season with a close victory over the Banning Cees, squeaking by 22 to 21. ln the RCL playoffs, the Cees lost to Elsinore by one point in the semi-finals, 25 to 24, and Elsinore went on to win the championship. Cee lettermen this year were Ernie Moreno, Art Montoya, Don Duarte, Joe Maddox, Tom Sylar, Joe Terrones, Jim Wade, and Harold Fuller. Joe Maddox, who led the team in scoring, was co-captain with Harold Fuller. Coach Frank McDaniel's defending RCL champion Dee basketball team had another good season this year. Winning all their league encounters but one entitled them to play in the RCL playoffs and proved them to be basketball stars of tomorrow. To start the ball rolling, they defeated Palm Springs with a score of 20 to 18. Then the locals took .their only loss when the Beaumont team edged by, 21 to 20, after a hard fought battle. The Arabs then continued on their way by trouncing Banning. They defeated Palm Springs in a return league game and later smashed Beaumont 39 to 21. ln their last league encounter the Dees smothered the Banning five 42 to 18. In the RCL playoffs the CV squad won their first game by default and then lost to a superior Hemet squad 32 to 25. Lettermen were Bob Chambers and Tivo Cadena, forwards, Jesse A. Perez, center, Frank Jaramillo, Tony Gonzales and Joe Perez, guards. Leading scorer with 107 points in 13 games, was Tivo Cadena, fol- lowed by Bob Chambers.
