Page 126 text:

Athletics constitute a way of edu- cation through activities which are carried on with full regard for values in human growth, develop- ment, and behavior. They, as an integral phase of the total educa- tional program, contribute abun- dantly toward the well-rounded development of all youth as re- sponsible citizens, — Wendell Pickens

Capitalizing on the team ' s extreme desire to win, new coaches Steve Musseau, George (Bud) Goodell, and George Davis welded together a marvelously conditioned defensive-minded squad that up- set Santa Ana 13-7, in the conference finale and successfully retained its crown. ' El Don was all but in as far as the western bid to the Junior Rose Bowl was concerned. Santa Ana was undefeated; the Pirates had eked out close wins in practically every contest except the AAt. San Antonio clash where they had stumbled, 20-14. An over- capacity throng of 9,000 was on hand for the kill. The Dons were rated as high as 19 point favorites. Coast, however, rose to its defensive heights. Santo Ana ' s running attack which had ground opponents under a 400 yard average per game was held to 179. The Dons managed their only tally with but 56 seconds remaining. A 50 yard blitz by fullback John McKee in the second quarter and a nine yard romp by quarterback Gene Hubbard provided the payoffs. Despite the Pirates ' complete domination of the Dons, Pasadena officials passed over Coast in favor of Cerritos JC. The Cinderella first-year Falcons subsequently bowed to Arlington State of Texas 20-12. Coast ' s cham- pionship was truly a team victory. All season long Musseau and aids substituted by teams both on the line and in the backfield. There were no first and second teams — there were only alternates.
