A scrappy Cyclone eleven hit the turf during the '44 season to give their opponents a big fight from the Cameron type, huddleless formation which proved to be the nemesis of many of their pint-sized victims in the past. Victory was not just a dream as it seemed to be to their big big brothers, who copped a second berth on the Group 4 C.I.F. Bee train. Hoover’s lighties’ first score of the year occurred in their season opener on the Inglewood field when Captain Bert Fairweather intercepted a Sentinel pass on his own 5-yard line and raced 95 yards to the goal and insured a 12-to-6 victory over their green-clad opponents. More breaks fell toward the Purples when they came out on the healthy end of a 13-to-7 count over a stubborn Mark Keppel team. With only one second remaining in the game, Chuck Kurtz grabbed a Keppel fumble out of the air on the Aztec one-yard line and packed the pig over for the deciding mark. After these two practice tiffs, the Cyclones squared off with the Pasadena Bullpups for their league opener and broke even with each team making six points. Hoover succeeded in pushing the porkhidc over for one touchdown which was nullified later in the game when the Puppies clicked on a long aerial. A fightin' mad squad tore up the field when they played against South Pasadena’s famous Bees. As a result the Kittens found themselves on the weak end of a 13-to-6 decision. Hoover's scores for this second league tussle were brought about by pass-minded Dick Dedrick, who clicked on two aerials to Roy Ruiz and Bill Porter, both of them plowing over at different times to make the count. A different story faced the Cyclone aggregation when the)- battled the 'crosstown Blasters and were soundly licked by the score of 20 to 14. A freak lateral-fumblc pi ay gave the Glendale guys the first score of the game. Bert Fairweather later tore through his opponents' line to put the finishing touch on Bill Porter's long run and score play which put the Purples out in front. The lead was short-lived, however, a statement proved when the Blasters rolled up 14 more markers to the Cyclone 6. Hoover's last attempt at a score was successful as Fairweather tore off two loQg runs from the Reds' 33, where End Hugo Hansen had recovered a Glendale fumble. The finale of the Hoover season left a good taste in the mouths of the Cyclones since they thrashed an 18-to-0 count out of Burbank's Pullpups. Jack Frederick and Dick Dedrick were in the Purple light, both of them making touchdowns and Dedrick making two. All in all, the Purple lighties wound up their league season with two wins, one loss and a tie and fell second in final Group 4 C.I.F. readings. 25
