Panthers The Panther Varsity Football Team pulled off one of the most spirited seasons in the team's history. With more people watching the games than ever before, the vigorous and gifted team gave the spectators a sight well worth watching. A nearly perfect 3-'I pre- league standing bolstered the Panthers to their many league victories. The striking Homecoming win over Simi was a graceful 27-7. The other teams encountered throughout the season included Camarillo, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, and Royal. Though the entire team was in prime condition, Pounce With Pride several players tend to stand out. Halfback john Morelli and split end Ken Duran were two of the top scorers. Halfback jeff Mathews was one of the leading ground gainers of the team. Quarterback Ken Mosley made up for what he lacked in size with talent. An- other top receiver was the infallible john Allen. The powerful front line consisted of such brutal players as jim Dykstra, jeff Wilfong, Scott johnson, Rick Novelli, and Les Baird. With the team the way they were, a crowd could be counted on at every game. 76 Varsity Football
