Freshmen Build Strong Record Both the Edison Freshman Green and Gold football teams had impres- sive records to show for their fine play. The Green team finished the season as league co-champions with a 4-1 re- cord in league play, and 7-2 overall, including a 12-10 romp over arch-rival Fountain Valley. The team was led by quarterback John Thomas, leading rusher and scorer Jeff Hipp, and top receiver Andy Sinclair. Only 9 points per game were given up by this team and they outscored their opponents by almost a two to one margin over the season. Although the Gold team did not have as good a record as the Green team, they did have an overall winning sea- son led by quarterback Rob Phenicie.
