The Undefeatable -Defeated Spartan Keith Hawkins scoops in two points in the 55-46 Helix upset. Jim lBonesl Bowers puts in two points for the Highlanders in Chula Vista-Helix contest. CHULA VISTA 26-HELIX 49 Spartan Coach Stewart, employing strat- egy in the Helix clash, but not getting the necessary breaks, found the High- landers outclassing the Chula Vistans, Held to five tallies the first period and eleven the next, Helix stagnated to a new low ebb, this pattern was con- sistent though, as the Stewart-men were buckled to only one marker the first half. After the hometowners slowed play for two periods, Helix decided to stall a third. When both teams opened up for the first time in the final quarter, the Spartans came only a tally shy of the Highlanders. Gary Meggelin and Fred Olmsted were high scorers for the Chula Vistans, potting eight and seven points respectively. CHULA VISTA 55-HELIX 46 Unusual is the word which best de- scribes both Chula Vista-Helix games. Undefeated previously in league play the over-confient Highlanders were set back 55-46, only twice coming close, but not close enough to outscore the Spartans. Junior Howard Hemphill paced the blue with sixteen first half points while Keith Hawkins l5'l l l was busy out rebound- ing both Clay Raaka l6'6 l and George Mackey l6'6 l. Gary Meggelin, Don Howes, and Fred Olmsted collected twelve, ten, and seven points respec- tively, plus five fouls apiece. This was the boost necessary for the Spartans to again put themselves in the winning column, although it unfortun- ately came a little late in the season. The Kiwanis Tournament proved to be a bit of a disappointment to the Spartans as they lost the Consolation Champion- ship game to Escondido by the narrow margin of two points. Chula Vista, in league play, had previously dumped the Cougars 54-35. Up to this point, in the Kiwanis Tournament, the Spartans had rolled to victory over Mt. Miguel 47-20 and Clairmont 44-33. ln the Chino Tournament the Spartans found themselves a little more success- ful by capping the Consolation Champ- ionship with victories over Montclair, Chino, and Temple City by margins of 49-37, 36-35, and 50-40 respectively. We are reminded of this year's victories as well as defeats by the Chino Consola- tion Championship trophy, this is some- what typical of this season's basketball - either late or just behind.

Teams Face Rugged Competitition Wheeler Hubbard ll ll smiles on his way to two points against Mt. Miguel. The junior varsity squad, sparked by the play of Joe Goefigan, Paul Barrington, and Brian Wages easily rambled to sec- ond place after double victories over Hilltop, Sweetwater, and El Cajon while losing the only pair to Escondido. As well as having a successful season, un- der the direction of Coach Caldwell, the training received will be instrumental in the forming of next year's varsity team. The sophomore basketball team, under the direction of Coach Kennedy, wound up the season with an unblemished l3-O record. Due to their league stand- ings the sophomore team has enjoyed the largest audiences ever, considering the games are played at different times than the varsity and junior varsity. f - f f With the junior varsity and sophomore teams coming in second and first place respectively, the student body has a right to be, and is, proud ofthe results of both squads.
