FOCTBALL This year we had a football team that we can well be proud of. During the present season, our Cougars have risen from the cellar position, which they held last year, to second place which they share with Patterson High. Much of this success comes from the constant training which the boys received under the direction of Coach David Ruby, and also from the spirit shown by the school as a whole. This season, out of a total of nine games played, we won five, lost two, and tied two. The team also ran up a total of 74 points while they gave away only 46 points. The results of this year's schedule are as follows: Escalon 13 Linden .......... ,.. O Escalon ......., .....,. T uolumne ...,... O Escalon Ceres ........ ...... 3 3 Escalon ........ ....... H ughson ...... 6 Escalon ........ .... H ilmar ...... O Escalon Patterson ...... O Escalon Modesto ...... O Escalon ........ .... R ipon ..... 7 Escalon Alumni ............................,. O 'I'he outstanding players of this year were Al Sorrenti, halfbackp Wallace Nel- son, center: Iohn Carrico, guardg and Harold Ellis, end. The first three boys men- tioned also placed on the All-League team in their respective positions. The team will suffer a great loss by losing through graduation such lettermen as Willie Mini, Al Sorrenti, Harold Ellis, Ed Long, Iohn Carrico, and Carl Gushe. For the first time, a Pee-Wee team was organized this year. This team con- sisted of boys who weighed from 130 pounds down. The boys played three games, and managed to win one by a score of 6 to 0. The stalwarts of the team were Harry Taylor and Allen Rollins. The varsity played their most spectacular game of the year against Hughson. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of Hughson with five minutes to play. Our boys then opened up with a series of passes, and scored two touchdowns thus winning the game. The hardest fought game was the last game of the season. lt was played against Escalon's greatest rival, Ripon and a victory would have brought Escalon undisputed possession of second place in the league. The game was a close one, but in the end the Ripon boys proved superior. Next year's prospects for a winning team look good, although there will be a small loss in weight. We hope the boys will make up this loss by fighting hard. 442329

BASKETBALL This season our boys showed quite an improvement over last year's team. Although the A team did not seem to fare so well, the B's made a very good record for themselves, finishing second in the league. Prominent members of the B team were: Wesley Haskell, who often thrilled the crowd by making long and difficult shots from the middle of the court: Frank Adrian, Guard: Ray- mond Cadlolo, Forward: and Louis Petrucci. All were good consistent players. Members of the A team were: Edwin Hegwer, Iohn Carrico, Harold Seaquist, Charles Mouridian, and David Cowles. TRACK Our track team has been very successful this Year. The boys started the season with a bang by winning their first meet, which was held at Manteca. For this feat they received two beautiful trophies. At the annual track meet at Davis, the boys again put up a good performance. Although competing against twenty-three schools in the class C division, the team managed to get lO points which put them in a tie for fifth place. The point winners in the meet were: Wilbur Reynolds, first place in the High lumpy Alfred Sorrenti, fourth place in the 440 Yard Dash. Both boys received medals for their efforts. Outstanding mem- bers and high point winners in their respective classes were: High lump, Ray- mond Cadlolo, Emmanuel Pranceschetti, Wilbur Reynolds: Dashes, Alfred Sor- renti, Raymond Cadlolo, and Louis Petruccip Hurdles, Peter Hall: Football Throw, lames Hanson, Broadjump, Harold Se-aquistg Distance Races, Edwin Hegwer and Bruce Cochran. TENNIS There must have been something unusual in the air this year because more students were interested in tennis than have been in the past five years. Under the direction of Mr. Whitlock, a tournament was arranged for both the boys and the girls. The tournament consisted of a number of rounds in which the winner of each round played until he was defeated. Those who played in the semi-finals were Iames Hanson, Don Barton, and Edwin Long. The final match was played between Edwin Long and Donald Barton and was won by Barton, who thereby became boys' tennis champion. e252
