RCC 7-HANCOCK 12 - Cletus Baltes hauls in a pass from Mike Davis in a nearly successful last minute attempt to win the post-season Orange Show Bowl Game. The River- side TD came earlier on a 32-yard pass from Dennis Jones to Baltes. On Offense Play Was 0; DURING THE SEASON the Bengals gained a total of 1595 yards, second best record in the Eastern Conference but a long 729 yards be- hind the yardage credited to San Bernardino. Defensively, the Tigers ranked in the second division, giving up 1654, fifth best in the cir- cuit and not nearly so good as Santa Ana with a scant 952 yards surrendered. Dennis Jones led all the conference ' s runners by a wide mar- gin, chalking up 652 yards on the ground, 133 yards ahead of his nearest challenger, John Butler of San Bernardino. Although not gener- ally thought of as a passer, Dennis the Menace had 198 yards to his credit. His total of 850 yards made him the second best in the con- ference race for total offense. However, he was well behind Citrus ' s Roy Schubert, who had 954 yards, 509 of it on passing. Jones was al- most the only offensive threat for Riverside however. The next most dangerous Bengal ranked only 22nd in the conference. RCC 20-ORANGE COAST 12- Dennis Jones gallops against Pirates. That ' s Buddy Jones, just too late to make the block. Touchdowns were tallied by Dennis Jones (2) and Garry Crystal.

Roared and Power HOWEVER (and what a big however it proved to be), the determination characteristic of pre- vious Tiger outfits was soon evidenced. Un- beaten Chaffey roared into town, but Bengal power proved too much for the Panthers. No one could see ahead to the end of the season, however, and Mount San Antonio and Santa Ana were both as yet undefeated, and each hoping to dethrone the conference kings. In turn, each put up stubborn opposition, but each was nosed out by a Tiger team that managed to score just enough to win. The Bengals nearly ran aground when they met the lightly regarded Pirates of Orange Coast, but here too, they were finally able to sail on to victory, ending their schedule with another championship. The Orange Show Bowl game proved an anti-climax, however (and what a dismal however this one is). Although the Tigers threatened in the closing minutes, they ended their season with a defeat at the hands of Allan Hancock, the na- tion ' s second-ranked jaycee team. RCC 20 - CHAFFEY 12 -Returning a punt, Mike Davis brushes aside two would-be Panther tacklers for good yardage. Riverside touchdowns were scored by McKinley Harris, Bob Korzep, and Dennis Jones. RCC 15-CITRUS 13- Dennis Jones scampers behind blocking of Alex Rachak (44) and Buddy Jones (64). Coming up at right is Larry Lidia (66). TDs were scored by Jones and Korzep, but it was Rachak who made the two- point conversion that won the game.

or Defense Spirited IT SEEMS OBVIOUS that something else than individual brilliance was responsible for the third Riverside conference championship in three years. Part of the explanation lies in the breaks. Good luck helped win some of River- side ' s games, and it was fortunate, of course, that the conference was so evenly matched this year that other teams in the circuit were able to kill each other off. But the title was cer- ainly no fluke. Opponents found it wasn ' t too difficult to gain on the Tigers in midfield, but that the going got very rough indeed inside the Riverside 30-yard line. While the 1960 Ben- gal aggregation wasn ' t one to blast another team off the gridiron, still, it had spirit enough, drive enough, to score at least once in every game— and that was almost always enough. RCC 7-SANTA ANA 6 - Marshall Anderson caught the Don ' s all-American end Duane Allen in the air after he had snagged a pass deep in Tiger territory. Dennis Jones scored the touchdown and Mike Davis kicked the winning conversion. BRUISING FOOTBALL- orge Thomas drives forward with a kick-off from Fullerton while Buddy Jones (64) and Jerry Kirk (76) eliminate would-be tacklers. The TD was eventually scored by McKinley Harris.
