Football CROSS COUNTRY-Curtis Stanton, one of the Tigers leading harriers, sprints toward the finish as teammate Phil Difani comes close behind. WATER POLO - Ron Gl.iubitz (23) splashes toward opponents ' goal with ball, as enemy hurries behind! Little Dan Goodearl (also 23) moves the ball along, as Orange Coast man readies to at- tack! ANOTHER new head coach and new uniforms resulted in another outstanding Tiger football sea- son. With experienced mentor Bob Dohr elevated to the head coach position, and with a near- ly all-veteran line, the Bengals were given new hope to main- tain their three-year hold on the Eastern Conference champion- ship. Able assistants Don Birren (line coach), Steve Bystry (end coach), and new aide Al Pages (back coach), did an outstanding job. Riverside displayed its wide open single-wing formations in roaring to six consecutive vic- tories before settling for a 6-6 tie to upset-minded Chaffey. In holding high-scoring Santa Ana to a 0-0 tie, the Bengals came up with a satisfying upset. Riverside ended league play undefeated, with a five won, no loss, two tie record. With one game remain- ing for Santa Ana against Fuller- ton, the Tigers still had a chance to tie for the crown, but the heavily favored Dons defeated the Hornets 47-16 on Thanksgiv- ing Day. The Bengals gave up the crown to Santa Ana but, were invited to play in the post- season Potato Bowl Game against Glendale City College in Bakers- field. Partly due to injuries to key players, the Tigers went down to defeat for the first time all year 28-14. FOOTBALL - Run, Tiger, Run!

TTT ' the Warpath FLOAT WORKERS, who had of course been up all night, managed to find their way to the campus on Homecoming day. (There is some reason to suspect, however, that not all found their way to class, and of those who did, one or two were somewhat less than alert and bright- eyed that day.) The day ' s events began (formally, that is) during the lunch hour. Floats were judged (by ofF-campus experts, to assure objectivity) while the rally was in progress in the Pit. After the rally, the floats were paraded through the city, proclaiming to the townspeople that the Tigers had come home and were on the warpath for sure. That evening the Bengals warriors slapped on their paint and other regalia of battle, grabbed up their tomahawks, and proceeded to scalp the invading tribe from San Bernardino. Celebration of this memorable event was con- tinued the following evening with appropriate rituals in the college gymnasium. j m . KIOWA-Z won first prize in Class Two (smaller floats) with their vengeful Tiger. 23 KAPPA UPSILON ■ GAMMA NU combined to welcome the champs. Judges B. L. Montgomery and Buron Morton look on approvingly. They didn ' t give this float a prize, but they ioined other old grads in agreeing that every year Homecoming festivities get bigger and better than ever. Especially when they celebrate a victory over San Bernardino.
