JCQQQ gpwnwi rw, The T957 Saxon gridiron warrior displayed a youthful set of muscles in his third year of Varsity competition. Lack- ing in both speed and experience, a valiant Saxon crew nevertheless showed great spirit and desire in compiling a 2-6 season record and provided many Thrilling moments for Their loyal fans. Frequently outmanned, but never out- fought, North High emerged as a school to be reckoned with in future football wars. Coached by Bob Shoup and Ed Levy and sporting a new Split T offense, the Blue and White racked up a number of notable firsts. Highlight of the season was a 6-O victory over Redondo Beach High School that snapped an T8 game losing streak. An impressive T9-7 win over Culver City enabled the Saxons to climb out of the Pioneer League cellar. Almost all the players had to learn new positions and there were many outstanding performers.
