FOOTBALL TEAM BREAKS JINKS ln their second encounter with the Terriers the following Friday, the Redbirds bettered their previous score, winning 26-U, scoring on three touchdown passes and an end sweep by Leo Visbal, and completely baffling Redlands by the de- ceptiveness of the man-in-motion and flanker right. The Redbirds swept to ct 28-7 victory over an exceptionally weak Yellow- jacket squad, but suffered injuries which probably weakened their chances for a C. B. L. crown this year. Backs Leo Visbal and Leonard I-louser and center Alan O'l-lara were put out of commission for the Riverside game the following Friday night, and their loss, the fog, and a slippery ball contributed to the fighting Card- inals' 24-l9 loss to Riverside's lim Iordon and Co. Playing their best game of the season, the breaks of the game went against the Cards in the last quarter when Iordon, fleet Bear back, took a long pass for the winning touchdown and the championship. Playing the annual Thanksgiving Day classic with Pomona's Red Devils on Stockton Field, the battling Cards came through with a l2-6 victory in the season wind-up. Marching downfield behind a series of line bucks by fullback lack Henley and scoring on touchdown passes from Romo to ends lim Reeves and Richie Hunt, the Redbirds held the Devils scoreless in the second half to finish a successful season with a hardfought victory.

FOOTBALL TEAM BREAKS JINKS Guided by the brilliant strategy and untiring ettorts ot Coach Ralph Simpson, the hard-hitting Cardinals finished one of S.B.H.S.'s best football seasons in eight- een years, The Redbirds just missed the long-sought CBL. title, losing only to the champion Riverside Polybears, but fought through an otherwise victorious season to bring S.B.H.S. a Citrus Belt League second place. Using a man-in-motion system instead of the straight power employed by Red- bird grid machines of the past, Coach Simpsons gridders rolled up more touch- downs against their opponents than any San Bernardino team in a decade, and packed more deception and speed than S.B.H.S, fans had seen in many years. The Cards started the season with a B-U win over a surprisingly strong Hemet High School eleven on Stockton Field. Traveling to Burbank in their second en- counter, they edged out a 7-O win over the highly rated Coast League Burbank lvlaroons, scoring on a line buck by ace fullback, Leonard l-louser, alter he and Art Romo had marched the ball downtield from their own 30 on a series of smashing line bucks. Playing their first C,B.L. game under the lights ot Stockton Field, the Cards trimmed their traditional rivals, Redlands' Terriers by a 23-6 score, breaking pay dirt on two downtield marches on line smashes and end runs and the third time on a pass interception and 73 yard run-back by Leonard Houser.

' .leffmg L 9 I Z SOPHOMORES VS. PERRIS SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL PGPULAR Under the able leadership of Coach Hodge, the S.B.H.S. Sophomores emerged from a successful season with a Citrus Belt League second place. The Carclettes dropped their opening tilt of the season 12-U to a powerful Perris Varsity Eleven. The following week the sophomores in their first C. B. L. game of the season de- feated the Redlands Toy Terriers when Menor scored two touchdowns with line smashes through center. The Cardettes on return game with the Redlands Sopho- mores trimmed them for a second time by a 25-U score on our Stockton Field. Scoring in every quarter, the sophomores outplayed a much lighter Redlands team. The first touchdown of the game was made on a pass to Carey who went over for the tally. ln a hard fought game the S,B,H.S. Sophomores trimmed the Riverside Cubs l8-6 on Stockton Field. Both teams put up a stubborn defensive but the Cardettes, sparked by halfback Aragon, put forth additional power to make it a Redbird Win. After being undefeated throughout the 43 season, the Cardettes muffed their chance for league championship by dropping a 25-6 tilt to the Pomona Sopho- mores on the Devils' Field. San Bernardino was held scoreless until a pass from Cloar to Hallmark connected and Hallmark went over for the only San Bernardino tally to end an otherwise victorious season.
