Football S Zt77277Zd1Qf At the beginning of the season, Coach Arvin Smith was optimistic about his team's chances of winning a second straight Coast Conference Championship. The going was tough at first, the Panthers dropping their first two games by close margins. Allan Hancock handed our men an 18-7 setback and College of Sequoias a 12-6 defeat. With seven games remaining, the Hartnell Express began picking up steam and it was not about to be stopped. The Panthers' first victory was a 13-O shutout over Taft. Big -lim Mankins ran for 204 yards, three times as much yardage as the whole Taft team. The following game was a hard fought 6-3 victory over Coalinga. Fleet Al Smith put this one away in the last quarter of play. Hartncll's terrific defense was too much for the opposition as Coalinga rushed for only 76 yards, as against the Panther's 216. Coach Smith looked on with satisfaction as his powerful offense and equally rugged defense tore through the conference without a loss. It was ironical that Monterey Peninsula College, Hartnell's greatest rival, was last on the schedule. For the past two years the Lobos had spoiled the Panthers' season. The tables were turned this year as Hartnell put on its finest performance of the season and crushed the Mon- terey wharf rats, 24-8. It was a year of fierce competition but Hartnell could not be denied the Conference Championship and the right to play in the Lettuce Bowl. Talking over strategy with two of their players are, LEFT TO RIGHT: Trainer Dan Diedrickson, Head Coach Aruin Smith, Backfield Coach john Skip Schwellenbach and Line Coach Chase Anderson.
