' 23 ' FOOTBALL ALTHOUGH THE 1955 FOOTBALL cam- paign was definitely disappointing from the standpoint of the all-important won and lost column, it was a season of many ups and downs that the record books couldn't even begin to indicate. Among the pair of victories, six losses and one tie, probably the biggest one of all for Seahawk supporters was the 6-O triumph over the arch-rival Mira Costa. The nine game grid schedule included a nucleus of the CIF powers, four of which went on to take their own loop pennants. In the mythical All-Bay League selections, Center John Niemann, Guard Louis Cook, End Bert Valenzuela, and Quarterback Dean Moore landed first string berths. Backs Tim McMillan, Claude Dailey, Bruce Seifert and Tackle Mike Purcell received honorable men- tion ratings. REDONDO' 22, SANTA PAULA 19: ln this grid season inaugural, the Seahawks unleashed a tremendous passing attack against a rugged eleven. DOWNEY 21, REDONDO 6: Against the Coast League champions the Hawks held one of the most potent combinations to only three touch- downs. BEVERLY HILLS 6, REDONDO 0: On the foggy night of October 7, Bob Cardona's local pig- skinners dropped their first game to the Nor- mans since 1939. This eleven figured in CIF playoffs after winning the Pioneer League race. BELLFLOWER 19, REDONDO 13: Even though the Hawks were- three touchdown underdogs QUARTERBACK MOORE skirts end for 29 yard gain against Cen- tennial's Apaches. as they came into the Bucaneer encounter, they played what was probably their finest game of the season. LEUZINGER 14, REDONDO 6: This was prob- ably one of the most disappointing nights of the entire pigskin slate as Cardona and com- pany completely fell apart. REDONDO 6, MIRA COSTA O: Without a doubt, this was the biggest one of the 1955 season as RUHS decisioned their arch rivals in the first meeting between the two schools. INGLEWOOD 27, REDONDO 13: Paul Mana- han's Sentinels proved to be one of the finest teams that the Green and White fielded in years. REDONDO O, TORRANCE O: ln the industrial city on the night of November 10, the Sea- hawks came up with a nearly impenetrable defense as they held the Tartars' big fullback, Skip Smith, to only meager gains. CENTENNIAL 27, REDONDO 7: Aaron Wade's Apaches, the 1954 defending champs, un- furled a powerful running attack as they cap- tured their second consecutive Boy League crown in as many years. ONE OF THE HAWKS' MANY DISASTROUS FUMBLES inside the ten yard line occurred when Redondo lost possession in the scoreless deadlock with Torrance, Redondo players 1in white1 ore Seifert 1491, Purcell 1881, Moore 1481 and Conger 1451. 1TORRANCE HERALD photo.
