Cee: Joe Maddox, 2, Joe Valesquez, Pat Becker, Don Manzo, Ben Saiz, and members of the relay team. ' Last year, 1952, found the Arabs breaking 107 records and being hailed the greatest ever, but this season, Coach Alexander developed more and better runners and iumpers to break several of these stan- dards and outshine the '52 team. In dual meet competition, the Arabs rolled over Palm Springs 214 to 62, Banning 206 to 69, Beaumont 203 to 76, and Perris 189 to 88 to win the championship. Other vanquished foes were Blythe, Holtville, Imperial, and Calipatria, all by record scores. The 14th annual East-RCL meet found the Arabs scoring more than their three league opponents com- bined, 258 to 218. Arab heroes were many and their exploits really amazing, space does not permit listing all of their record-breaking achievements.
