The Sentinel '44 varsity gridders repeated Their very unflattering performance of the previous year by losing every game Ort 'thelf schedule in spite of the fact that there hadn't been so much enthusiasm and anticipation for a football season for almost half a decade here on Crown Hill, nor had prospects for a good season been so bright. Even certain metropolitan newspapers heralded the advent of a new era of football for Belmont. Coach Felix Pennino, a new addition to Belmont's coaching staff who knows his football from A to Z, introduced to Belmont his T-formation and rozzle-dazzle plays that he had used at Cathedral High for six years, four of them championship years. Dave DUNS- 5P0ffS-Edlf0'- Many newcomers swelled the Hilltoppers' glittering roster of ace gridders. Also coming up from the better-than-average Bee team of the previous year were such pigskin wonders as Joe Hines and Danny Villanueva. Dynamic Dale Hunter had returned, one of the most promising gridders of the Northern league. However, in the very first league game with Wilson here on Montgomery Field, the team was struck a jolting blow as Joe Hines, backbone of the passing attack, went out of the game with a fractured wrist and was forced to remain on the bench for the duration. This blow, though terrific, shouldn't have been mortal, for there were other high-caliber passers on the team. The 32-O loss to the Mules, however, did not daunt the many sports-minded Belmonters who rolled up near- record at.tendance throughout the storm of such losses as these. Fate pursued the Hilltoppers throughout the remainder of the season. It iabbed at them furiously with a mediocre Lincoln team. It laid itself on them heavily as ace right halfback, Dale Hunter, was forced out of action because of injuries, and it finally slapped them down as they were badly mauled by the underdogs of the League, Eagle Rock.

The Hillfoppers accenTuoTed rough-and-Tumble TacTics by running many of Their plays from The T-formafion. In oTher plays They shiffed inTo a single-wing formaTion from The T, gaining a good deal of power To The righT. Coach...Ladd,ie Mullard had iusT The men To execufe This T-formafion. His keyman was hard-hiTTing UmberTo Simone aT quafrferback. ln The fullback posifion he had Dick Lopresfo, while lefT halfback was Pino OrTega. BoTh of These gridders were poTenT break-away arTisTs wiTh The elemenT of speed. lllusTraTing LopresTo's com- busfibilify were his long runs in The Marshall and Lincoln games. Occupying The fourfh posifion in The backfield was rough and rugged Ruben Goldsfein. The Senfinel lighTies' primary scoring abilify was in Their passing aTTack. This may be aTTribuTed To The speed of Ruben Gonzalez, lanky righT end and pass-snagger deluxe. The line was moderafely sTrong offensively and was as solid as a brick wall on The defense.

They won 48-24, Quon led the scorers with 10 points, and Lowry paced the Eagles with 5. The next game found the Belmonters coming out on the short end of a 36-30 fray with Franklin. Hobbs was high scorer with 13 points. Woodhead accounted for 11 of the Panthers' winning points. The fourth game, against the highly touted Mule outfit, found the Sentinels starting slowly and ending fast. The final score was Wilson 45-42. Kreutzberg was the high scorer with 15. Rivera led the Hilltoppers with 11. Going into the last game of the round, the Green and Black found the style of the foe too unorthodox. Lincoln won 44-22. Nicovitch was high point with 20 and was rated by the team as the best man they had played against during the season, not even excluding Kloppenburg. Starting the second round, the Hilltoppers again ran over a greatly improved Eagle team to the tune of 44-17. Quon pocketed 14 points to lead the scorers. The next game was the best of the season. The local casaba squad with the score 26-13, took the floor for the second half, They rallied and held the Panthers to 5 points until they had tied the score. Silva was the big gun of the attack, hooking 13 points. Smelling the blood of their adversary, they took the lead but relinquished it, when a last-minute drive overtook them, to end the game 40-37 in favor of Franklin. ln the second annual grudge game, Belmont came out second best. Kloppy ran away with scoring honors, although he was forced to play the hardest defensive game that he had played all season, fhgnks fo Romero Silva who guarded him and chalked up 9 for himself. The next game, with Wilson, was a heartbreaker, Belmont coming out on the losing side of a 25-26 game which practically brought down the rafters. Listlessness marked the last took scoring honors, adding 22 score was 51-27 for Lincoln. Next year's team promises Rivera, Willie Quan, Bob Hobbs, Phil Moore. FINAL RESULTS-First Round: game.

Many Times, however, SenTinel Tans were on The edges OT Their seaTs as The Team came from behind To score vicTories.

He was insTrumenTal in many vicTories, going on numerous scoring spreesf' Following Gene in The scoring was Jimmy Flynn, racking up 77 poinTs.

At the first of the season the Sentinels looked like a championship crew, having at least one ace in every event, with the possible ex- ception of the shotput. In the lOO-yard dash, Captain Hines hit lO.3s in the very first V' ' ' track meet of the season In the furlong, Elwood Williams, younger brother of Hank, held his own with the best dashmen. Little Albert 'E ' 'V Leon, 440 man, probably showed the most promise of any man on the ,,w.,,. , team. A double load was placed on the shoulders of Elwood Williams twgv . who ran the 220 and 880. Veteran miler, Ray Wood, was clocked at ,N ' ll A i y , 4 minutes 47.7 seconds in practice. th, A-'g,gi,,fV f 4 Winning of the first league meet at Wilson was a very costly victory as Williams ended up a fast 220-yard dash with a broken arch. This misfortune wrenched from the Hilltappers' grasp all chances of wearing the Northern League crown, for Elwood not only ran the Next the Barristers found something of a pushaver in their rivals as they administered a 65-30 drubbing to the Sentinels. However, in bath of these defeats there was a note of irony: all of the best marks were hit by Sentinels Jae Hines in the low hurdles, Ray Wood in the 880, and Albert Lean in the 440, all remained undetected eccl-A pacing off his event in faster time than anyone else in this league. ' The Sentinels encountered very little competition during their two remaining dual contests against Lincoln and Eagle Rock, respectively. The local cindermen won bath outings by wide margins, The stage was naw set for the biggest loop event of the season, the Northern League track meet and this was the scene. Even with Elwood Williams and high iumping dashman, Charles Jones, out of the picture the Hilltoppers still had a fighting chance to annex a second or third place behind Marshall's heavily favored crew However, the unforeseen befell the Hilltoppers, and the best they could eke out was a fourth place 1 But those af the Sentinels who did come through did so brilliantly. Joe Hines maintained his .record of imincibility by taking an easy first in the l8O-yard low hurdles, hitting the tape in 215, Eugene Hap Regan proved his reliability by grabbing a hard-fought third place in a very fast mile Bob Zaxale surpassed all his previous marks in the high iurnp by reaching the mark of six feet, thus tying fgr third with the best among the Northern iumpers. The seasons climax came in the All-City track fest, where Albert Leon finished second to Pol 's R d de la Torre in a torrid 5l.ls quarter-mile. Y U Y .

AS in all the other Los Angeles leagues, the Northern Loop's marks during the '45 season were far above most of those made during the two or three previous seasons. Bee Hilltoppers, fairly bursting with confidence, were definitely out to win, and most of the time they were doing iust that. The infallibly fast Jasper Ross, league leader in the scoring, was the team's mainstay as he swept through the season undefeated in his three events, the broadiump, 100-yard dash, and 220-yard dash. The Sentinel cindermen made clean sweeps in every dual meet except the Marshall tilt. Randall Bullet Goolsby was second to Ross in the scoring as he collected victories in the low and high hurdles and places in the highiump. In the league meet, Randall copped the high honors in the high sticks, hitting the tape in 9.6s. The Bee distance men were lead by Louis Woodson, l320 flash, and James Wolfson and Lawrence Winston, the Hilltoppers' somewhat erratic 660 men. At the outset of the season the Belmont sports fans' hopes concerning the spikesters entered in the broad- iump and highiump, soared as James Lyons hit five feet, eight inches in the highiump and Jasper Rose hit twenty-one feet in the broadiump. However, the pace that these aces set seemed to become too fast for themselves. ln the City Meet Jasper Ross was the Sentinels' sole winner. Ross bagged six digits for the Belmonters by running away with the 220-yard dash in 22.95, and taking a fifth place in the TOO-yard dash. i At the close of the season the trackmen put away their hopes for a championship team as well as their spiked' shoes in mothballs till next spring and another track season.

In the second game, the Sentinels had the edge in pitch- ing, but the South Gate Ramblers had a definite margin in hitting as was shown in their T4-'ll victory over the Hilltoppers. ln the third game, the Hilltoppers bopped the Lincoln Tigers 8-6.

October IO-Mr. Paul Lauritz painted a landscape right in front of the Student Body and in no time at all. Bob was looking for his old water colors this afternoon, but I don't think he can compete. October I2-Tonight I'm all inspired. Rev. Glenn Phillips spoke to us at the C.S.F. assembly today. October I3-Spent my allowance on war stamps and made Bob do the same to celebrate the opening of the Bond Drive. October I6-All-Girls' assembly sponsored by the Girls' League. Coach Pennino told us all about football. Bob says that now maybe I won't ask so many dumb questions during crucial gridiron moments. October I7-Football Rally in the bleachers. Yelled myself so hoarse I can hardly talk. Bob says it sounds much better that way. He would! October 25-Hurrah! The Senior Bench was repaired! October 31-Halloween. I told Bob his mask was an improve- ment-how was I to know he was impersonating Dracula? We aren't on speaking terms any more. November 2-We had an awfully interesting assembly today, Diary. Lal Chan Mehra showed us the difference in dia- lects in a program called Parade of Nations. November 3-Knights and Ladyes dance in the gym tonight. Small but nice crowd. Bob spilled punch on his suit. November 7-War Chest drive opened. November 8-Spent the afternoon watching Bob push a peanut down Montgomery Field with his nose. He would make an election bet!

Luckily the boys could wear Ievis as Bob's suit not yet back from the cleaners. November I3-We took our report cards around today, Bob loudly bragging about his A in physics. November I5-The whole Student Body was shot for identifi- cation purposes. Now I know how a criminal must feel.

January II-I feel all dramatic since we saw the senior play, Holiday, this morning. Maybe being rich wouIdn't be so much fun after all, and if Bob doesn't stop going around saying Happy New Year, l'II scream il really willll. January I2-Oooo, Diary, I feel awful! lt must have been that king-size sicker I ate as part of today's Senior Sucker Day. I didn't eat all of mine, either-I gave at least a third of it to Bob, and he ate that, plus his own, and feels fine. It lust confirms what I've always suspected-that boy has a cast-iron stomach. January I5'Ancl so begins Final Exam week. Bob goes around muttering formulas under his breath, January IB-f We were fitted for our commencement gowns to- day. This business of graduating is surely plenty of trouble. Bob thinks he looks like a college professor in his gown, but I think he looks sort of silly myself, January 23-Class Day.
