LEFT: DAN BUHLER AND GARY DANIEL lead at the two and one-half mile mark. Endurance Key to Championships The summer months became extremely important for conditioning purposes, stated Coach Mike Butler. He was referring to C.l.F.'s extension of the traditional two-mile course to a tougher three-mile one. This emphasis on endurance, rather than speed, did not hinder the Varsity harriers. They boasted an overall record of 7-2 and tied for the Moore League Championship. Superstars Mike Getscher, Kyle Lubsen, and i Gary Daniel led the Varsity to C.l.F. with times of ' 15:28, 15:35, and 15:46 respectively. Another positive aspect of the season was that the Varsity team knocked 1:05 off their times as a unit. The change in mileage was not the only adjust- ment the group had to handle. From the start of the season, not one of the top men was free from injury. A case of the flu also stranded ten to fif- teen members of the squad prior to the Compton meet. Coach Butler was especially proud of the J.V. team, who scored a perfect fifteen at all meets and was undefeated in Moore League. J.V. stand- outs Steve Smith 062301, Steve Day 063381, and Jim Evans C1 61525, carried their team through an overall 8-1 winning season.

Height- Earns Cagers C.l.F. Having developed into an exciting and cohe- sive basketball team, led by the coaching bril- liance of Bill Odell, the Ram hoopsters entered Moore league play following a strong pre-season showing. A record of 8-5 was only an indication of the successthat would lead the Rams to a C.l.F. playoff birth. The league opener against Wilson revealed a fired-up Ram team that dunked the Bruins, 64- 44. The eventual league co-champion, Compton, evened the Rams record by dealing Millikan a loss, 74-68, after an exciting, close fought con- test. Making history was only part of the story in the wild victory over Jordan. Despite a late Panther rally, the Rams proved victorious, 100-89, for a Moore league single game scoring record. Five players scored in double figures with Doug Marty, Fred Moore, and Tyrone Wallace in the Twenties. A solid combination of teamwork and defense in the Ram gym. Again, five players placed in double figures. The first round ended with a 3-2 record for the Rams following an intense loss to Poly at L.B.C.C. Despite a 27 point effort by Doug Marty, the Rab- bits prevailed, 68-64. The second round opener Wilson revealed four rarely seen basketball statistics. The 57-55 vic- tory entailed an overtime, 25-29 free throws, a seldom used Gold offense, and Doug Marty breaking the all-time Millikan scoring record. A rare afternoon contest and costly turnovers ailed the Rams against Compton. The Tarbabes reigned, 83-52. The win verses Jordan, 83-72, guaranteed the Rams a C.I.F. playoff spot. Excellent teamwork and key steals by Barry Bartlett helped compile a 63 percent shooting average. Overtime is rare and four proved caustic as Lakewood won 92-91. A half-court shot by a Lancer sent it into number four with a dark out- come forthe Rams. A career high of 42 points for Doug Marty shone as the silver lining. League play ended with a defeat by Poly, 63- 57. The hot shooting of Duane Bergman - 18, and Barry Bartlett - 16, and 20 points by Doug Marty was not enough to overcome Poly's surge. The Rams entered the C.l.F. playoffs with a 13- 10 overall record after being matched with highly rated Morningside. Desire and determination enabled the Rams to battle back to a 53-52 lead after trailing all game, yet unable to hang on, the Rams' season ended, 62-55. closed the book on Lakewood with a 77-52 victory ..i .. - dv - if-L - ' Ii i.-if -gr' -4 . . ...xi M ix , ,F ' 1:--+41--N: I 'J - 1. . - ' X . , .1 hi 5-W Q. .
