Tllll Llllll'l'Wllllill'l' Even though the Lightweight Football Team 's won and loss record was not too impressive, the value received by them in working and playing together more than made the season a success. The Lightweights opened their season against the San Carlos Boys' Club. The San Carlos team scored first in the second quarter, but the Dolphins came to life in the last quarter after Bob Lauridsen intercepted a San Carlos pass. On the next play Lee Davis ran 55 yards for the touch- down. The conversion was good and this game ended in a 7-7 deadlock. The Junior Dolphins next tangled with Sequoia, with Jim Fields starring for the Dolphins by going over twice in the first half. Sequoia won this close game by one point, T9-l8. Jordan met Sequoia again, but this time they played a greatly improved team and went down to defeat. The Sequoians scored twice in the first quarter and again in the second., The game 's final score was 20-O. The Lightweights ended their season by playing the Wilbur Lightweight team. Although the Warriors won by a T2-O score in a hard fought contest, the Dolphins appeared to be on their way to a score as the final gun sounded. At the annual Football Banquet given for the Varsity and the Lightweight teams at the end of the season, John Stewart, Stanford end and ex-Jordanite, spoke to the players on the value of schoolwork to an athlete. Rich Wilkersen was awarded the most valuable player award by the team. John McGregor received anaward for being the most improved player, while Ricky Malloch was presented the Coaches' Award, and Bob Talbott was named team captain for the season. It was also announced at the conclusion of the season that Coach Bob Cavender would replace Mr. Utley as the ninth grade counselor during the spring semester. At the same time Don Harris will move out into the gym to take over Coach Cavender's classes. No plans for next season 's coaching staff had been decided as this book went to press.

'l'llll Sllzlsllll IN REVIEW The Jordan Varsity certainly deserves congratulations for the excellent iob they did this year under the Fine leadership of head coach Bob Cavender. I ln their season opener against Sequoia the Dolphins coasted to an easy 38-0 win. This opening game omen proved to be agood one, and the Dolphins rode through the season with a six won, one loss record. The Dolphin attack, led by Bud Linsley, beat the Bellarmine Bells in an exciting i3-7 game. Linsley scored both Jordan touchdowns in this game, whichwas our only night game of the season. Our Varsit then teamed up with the Lightweights for an easy victory over the Paly High Sophs, with the finarlscore in this game standing at 28-13. Jordan's record was marred by Menlo Atherton, in agame which marked the Dolphins' First and only loss of the season. With the M.A. Bears leading by T9 points at the start of the Fourth quarter the Jordan attack came back under John McGregor and Rich Wilkersen, to score T3 points and encl the game in a i9-I3 loss. With Wilkersen leading the Jordan attack, the Dolphins scored an easy victory over the Sunny- vale Jets. Wilkersenwas the game 's high scorer, running for two touchdowns and passing for a third six pointer, which brought the final score to 26-I4. The Jordan eleven met the Wilbur Warriors at Paly High's Hod Ray Field for their Final game of the season. Basing their attack on the single wing, the Dolphins scored late in the first quarter on an aerial from John McGregor to Wilkersen who theh lateraled to Bob Talbott who went over for a six pointer. But the Warriors finally scored in the second quarter to go ahead 7-6. Wilkersen regained the lead for Jordan, scoring in the third quarter from the one yard line. Again the Jordan conversion was not good. But once again Wilbur came back and scored late in the same quarter to go back out in front by one point, I3-l2. Then withafew minutes left in the game, John McGregor passed from the i5 yard stripe to Bob Biorn who went over for the final tally of the game. The Dolphins were victorious with the final score standing at T8-13. llllli l'l'Y FUUTBALL
