Roy Hester is downed by a Pirate after making sizeable gain against Pacific. SQQLPJ in in on- eague oaco .264 game The Fontana Steelers racked up their first win of the season in a non-league game against Bosco Tech in the rain. Quarterback Frank Hostetler scored the first of his two touchdowns. T. C. McClellan racked up a touchdown and a PAT. Fullback Roger Minniss also scored by tallying a PAT. For the finale of the-season, the Fohi varsity went into the game with an upset vicfory planted in their minds. But the Pirates won it by mangling the Steelers 38-13. T. C. McClellan, fancy Steeler back, tallied both of Fohi's touchdowns. In the first quarter he scored on a skirt around left end. After quarterback Roy Hester completed a 23-yard pass to Bob Evans, McClellan plunged over from the two yard-line in the third period for his secoi touchdown. Head line coach Bill Scott explains the right and the wrong way to Rudy Cruz, Jesse Mitchell, Harold Horsely, and standing Bob Bracken, and Bob Kerr.

William Bernal is checked over by Fontana trainer Bah Johnston. job payed ee- aw gafffea Before a large homecoming crowd, the host Colton Yellowiackets defeated the Fohi Steel- ers 13-0. This was a reverse of last year's encounter in which Fontana defeated Colton before our homecoming crowd. Fohi took the opening kickoff and marched for four straight first downs by Steeler backs T. C. McClellan, Leonard Dodson, and Dave Gipson. The Steeler drive ended on Colton's three-yard line and a see-saw battle raged between the two rivals. McClellan netted H6 yards in 21 carries. ' The Fontana Steelers' homecoming was ruined by a I9-13 loss to the Riverside Poly Bears. The Steelers came back after the half and almost Snared the Bears who later went on to win the league championship and go into the CIF playoff. After all these second half performances, Fontana was tabbed as the best cellar team in the history of the CBL. lt seems that Fohi's best performances were all mostly during the second half. BYYUH GlCISS George Spellman It was a big loss to the team when Byron broke his ankle during practice. The dac- tor released him for the Redlands game.. In the first quarter of the Colton game he iniured it again. He was out for the rest of the season. After George had made a beautiful tackle on a Muir quarterback, he suffered a con- cussion and was unable to play for the rest at the season.

The varsity was composed of mainly iuniors and seniors but there were a few sophomores who were brought up from J.V.'s. There were quite a few iuniors who were starters, so they gained quite a bit of valuable varsity experience. 75
