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 Tiger line looked great, holding the Brahnnas scoreless after surrendering one touchdown and one two-point conversion. A handful of Riverside fans bucked heavy traffic and cold, gusty winds driving to Woodland Hills to see the team in that first game. Next to fall under the Tigers ' power were the Modesto Pirates. RCC proved to be too much, scor- ing a convincing 26-0 win. After Modesto, Orange Coast came into town with eager eyes on revenge for three straight Tiger victories dating back to 1958. The Pirates proved to be no match, and the Bengals ran up their highest total of the year, 41-6, even though the Buccaneers came from behind to tie the score early in the first period. 26 Fans Enjoy Another Good RCC 35, PIERCE 8-Tailback Dennis (the Menace) Jones eludes a Brahma tackier en route to one of his two touchdowns in a smashing Bengal victory Mike Davis hit the end zone for three touchdowns in the season opener.
