Freshmen Help Out With outstanding performances by Jim Neary and extra help from ninth grade wrestlers from La Colina, this year's wrestling team had a winning league record of 4-2. The toughest competition for San Marcos proved to be Camarillo and Dos Pueblos which were the only two league losses this season. A new ruling this year made it possible for wrestling and various other sports to benefit from freshman participation if the school in which they attend has no prior program established, Coach Gus Aldana who worked with the wrestlers two to three hours a day, six days a Wrestling Varsity ffif fggfifilf Marcos Opponent Santa' Barbara 39 f,f1 3 f ,' I Q28 if Hueneme .1 ,225 y,, 5 22 I 554Buena', ,Q 42 , ' ' '34 5'-fiCamariIloA ' 29 If '36 if-7 DOS 5169105 i I ift1i6,fff if I -Ventura V'-'1 r ' ,,,il 't'r 'Wrestling ,,, I ,,V, V I '-ff' San Marcos' Opponent i' Huenemefgf' 51 7f5!:j' 26 Buena I8 ' .fl 30 Camarillo' 3 jf 40 Dogtjjrueblos I I 'ii' 56 Ventura 42 ,, 130 week said he really enjoyed coaching the team because they were always very cooperative.

I v The Royals entered CIF play unranked, Tenth ranked Servite fell 75-67, and fourth ranked Inglewood was treated to the Royals finest basketball including a game winning slam dunk from Anthony Hunter. For the team that succeeded suprisingly well, the glory was over in the Iinal minutes ofa CIF quarter final game. The Royals poured it on early and went to the half leading by two. The long trip and towering height advantage of Long Beach Poly proved too much for the young SM team. They went out in a fine display of skill and team work, excuses are not necessary. Their performance says it all.
