v Come On, Tiger! - THIS 91-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN by dynamic Dennis Jones justifies the drama and excitement that occured throughout Riverside ' s gridiron schedule. Although San Bernardino ' s speedy Larry Rubidoux and George Farrell fail in their attempt to overtake Jones, the Indians went on to win, 34-14, thus seemingly ending any hopes of a third straight EC crown. However, the Tigers fought back hard in the battles that followed, defeating every other league foe, and winning possession for the third consecutive of the conference crown.

Football TIGER FOOTBALL TEAMS have had a way of ftf H villl l nl is v= •tfyrS , E confounding the prognoticators who have been m W J liMS rM wont to consign them to the lower depths of !■ wm M -r«K the Eastern Conference.

With an inexperienced • Pik — .1 y i $wS mentor, an equally untried line coach, and a largely freshman squad, Riverside was given little chance of retaining its two-year hold on 1 1 j1 the conference crown. The Tigers were not par- ticularly impressive in early season outings against non-league opponents. And, after they squeaked past their first EC foes by the smallest of margins, the Bengals were soundly beaten rlB!

But, the spirit that has marked Riverside during the past few seasons, plus the co- operation of other league teams (which oblig- 1 ingly knocked each other out of contention) was still present. The Tigers won their remaining contests, and thus grabbed the EC title with a 6-1 record. Riverside ' s good fortune failed to hold in its post-season game against Allen Hancock JC in the Orange Show Bowl. However, the Bengals i made a real contest out of it before bowing, 12-7, in the closing minutes of play. 13 DJ ' SGRIPONTHE BALL - Dennis ' s sure hands threw many a pass and his dazzling feet gained many a yard in the Tigers ' drive to a championship.
