Offensive stars have been Gil Lefebvre and Frank Hartman, both halfbacks, and Rusty Foreman, the quarterback. All these boys have very good potential for the coming years, said Coach Hamilton. 1 The Cee Football team was held down by a rough season this year, not being able to win a game. Coach Chuck Clary had to stick mainly to rebuilding the team throughout the season. During the last games of the season the team showed an improvement, said Coach Clary.

CRDSS CDU TRY With only two returning lettermen, the MHS varsity cross country team enioyed a very creditable season by finishing in the Bay League second to Mira Costa, eventual CIF champion, and winning most of the meets throughout the year. After a dismal early season record, the har- riers finished strong and ended up one of the better teams in the state. ln the Compton ln- vitational an outstanding team effort was re- warded by a second place finish. Ron Jacobs proved to be the outstanding in- dividual as he won most of the dual meet races and finished among the best in both League and CIF. Ron was co-captain along with an- other outstanding runner, senior Dick Popko. During the season, impressive victories were scored over crosstown rivals Inglewood, Santa Monica. North High, Hawthorne and Leuzinger, all Bay League forces, in dual meets. Doug Anderson's consistent improvement throughout the season enabled him to finish as second man on the team next to Jacobs. Doug is only a iunior and along with two other juniors who lettered on the varsity-.terry Letcher and Dave Lopez-will be back to lead the squad next year. Coach Bill Pendleton had this to say about the season: I was very pleased with the tearn's performance. Despite the fact that we had only two returning lettermen, the squad developed into one of the better teams in the state. Other varsity lettermen were seniors Lynne Drake, Jim Gonzales, and Dick Frame. The JV's followed in the footsteps of the varsity by also finishing second in the league. They also placed second in the rugged Compton Invitational. Their dual-meet victories in the league were over the same foes that the varsity defeated. Dave Threlkel was the outstanding new- comer out of the 50 boys who turned out for cross-country. Running for the JV's with no previous experience, he developed into an out- standing runner by the season's end. Dave, a iunior, will be counted on next year. Larry Cabasino, Dan Lewis and Paul Bradley also turned in outstanding performances during the season. The freshman and sophomore squad captured third in the rugged eight-team Bay League and defeated such Bay League foes as Hawthorne, Santa Monica, Inglewood, Leuzinger and North Torrance during the course of the season. Outstanding Frosh-Soph runners were George Bennett, .lack Sutherland, Bob Brown and Vic Cabasino. 9 0
