NCAA champion San Francisco and Vocational had one thing in common this year: neither had a home court. In addition, Coach Petersen opened the season with only two returning lettermen, Captain and center Paul Muro and guard Bill Wells. Plagued by a skimpy bench and lack of height, the boys were hard-pressed throughout the season as they sought victories over some of the most uniformly impressive hardwood talent seen hereabouts in years. The Kiwanis Tournament is a notable example of their tremendous efforts in the face of these handicaps: Voca- tional extended semi-finalist San Dieguito to a bitter overtime effort before succumbing to their highly-touted foe, and in virtually every encounter saw sizeable leads dwindle and vanish because they had not the reserve strength to spell a hard-fighting, constantly-charging varsity. Most-Valuable-Man award went to Captain Paul Muro, who climaxed a great sports career at Vocational with this last brilliant court effort. Team co-captains were Paul Cirinelli, sophomore, and senior guard Bill Wells. 59 ' lc It C xx, Him I , g.1.,,'.-,1t1gmj' y, Vg X w ill mt l f M xr 'NWN Q 1 'xx Q, ish . fsffl f 'L' A i 'K tl 'ff uf' X Y , I li , xl'

Sports WRESTLING Standing il to rj: Clarence Mizzles, John Lacko, Paul Parker, Richard Magargal, Dee Shoemaker, Fred Canaday, Carl Mullins, Theron Baynard, Don Hargrave, Henry Manor, David Biggs, Skip Sullivan. Seated fl to rj: Isaiah Duckett, Guy Maltby, A1 Carreon, Gary Lepper, Eddie Huf- faker, Ray Ruiz, Bill Miller, Dick Fowler, Norm Bryant, Dick Latimer, Jim Bird. In the fine tradition of past Vocational wrestling teams, this year's squad again distinguished themselves with an enviable record on the mat. Sparked by such dependable performers as Paul Parker, Bill Miller, Don Hargrave, John Lacko, Al Carreon and Gary Lepper, the boys easily won their share of the meets, and but for injuries to key men at inopportune times, would certainly have run up an even more brilliant record. Lacko and Lepper nursed broken bones a good part of the season, and Hargrave carried badly bruised cartilage into several matches. Most-valuable-man award went to Paul Parker, who came Q' if Qxx through consistently with great showings in the clutch. fix The Star-of-the-Meet trophy went to Gary Lepper, who gf 'J' bagged that award with solid performances in every X F. meet entered.
