The Best Efforts BEE FOOTBALL Starting the season off with four straight losses, brought sighs from many grid followers as they thought that it would be a long hard year for the Regent Bee football team. Yet as the final cheer died out and the league season came to an end Resda was in third place sporting a 4-l-l- record. After losing their three practice tilts to Burroughs, Burbank and Venice, and being toppled by San Fernando 2-O the Regent Bee team came alive. They started their uphill clfmb against cross-town rivals Bir- mingham, who eventually ended in a tie for first place. Mike Black, All Valley Halfback, brought the Reseda crowd to its feet for the first time as he rambled through a gaping hole in the Brave line and tumbled into the end zone for the first score. By the time the final gun sounded, Reseda was well ahead 2l-7. The next week against Van Nuys two other Bee players came into the limelight as the aerial attack of Dennis Moneypenny to Ray ltomitsu put another victory in Coach Jack Boyd's lap. The final score was I3-l2. The Canoga Park Hunters put a damper in the chances of grabbing a Valley championship as they came from behind to end the game in a l3-l3 tie. A i3-T2 edge over North Hollywood closed out the season but Jack Boyd was proud of every man who tried on a Bee uniform. He was especially proud of Dennis Moneypenny, Mike Black, John Schmerber, Ray ltomitsu, and Dave Howard who made Valley League honors. BEE FOOTBALL-Row 1: P. King, F. Sotelo, B. Parker, S.

N? QW! 'E' VARSITY LETTERMEN BEE FOOTBALL SCORES Reseda Wellie Rasmussen HB Tom Sherman HB Don Stockman T Larry Stone FB Andy Von Sonn C Bill Wachter, E John Walker Terry Wilson Burroughs Burbank Venice San Fernando Birmingham Van Nuys Canoga Park North Hollywood Sought VARSITY FOOTBALL Thrills! Excitement !Action! Out our way these were all part of the football season. The fact that there were few first stringers re- turning didn't stop our Regent gridsters from placing third in the Valley League. The first non-league title against Burroughs brought us a 30-6 victory even though Bur- roughs had two previous games in their favor. Don't say that rain ever stopped a Regent! Our next game against Burbank gave us a muddy victory of 7-0. Two long passes lost the game against Ven- ice. We out-gained them in yards, but ended up on the short side of a 13-0 score. The Regent supremacy shone again when we won the first league game against the fight- ing San Fernando Tigers, 7-0. The typical Regent spirit showed in the fight against the Birmingham Braves, but fumbles gave the Braves a 19-I4 edge. Excitement was the key note of our encounter with Van Nuys. A heartbreaking turn of events brought the Wolves from the short end of a 26-6 score in the third quarter to a 26-26 tie at the final gun. A fumble, blocked kick, and intercepted pass tied the score in the last 55 seconds. Our prowess was seen in the game against the Canoga Park Hunters. After spending most of the first half inside their 30-yard line, we won the game 13-6. The North Hollywood Huskies provided the toughest competition of the season. It was one of the best offensive games of the sea- son, however, the score 19-O, in favor of the Huskies does not reflect the finish.
