Things got tougher in the second round as the Bengals, after beating Burbank 72-38, and Burroughs 57-48, lost to Hoover 43-5'l and Glendale 43-58, and then beat Muir 48-42. In the CIF play-otts the surprising Tigers nosed Pasadena 46-45, Loyola 40-38, and San Diego 46-39. In the semi-finals Long Beach Poly tell 48-46, but a strong Compton team ended SP's hopes of a CIF crown by downing the Tigers 47-33. Coach C.

Other individual stars were, Pete Scott, a great competitor whose dead-eye shots pulled the Tigers out ot many holes, Bob Weis, an inspired player at forward, lanky Roy Polkinghorne, an outstanding center, and Ted Scott, who set up most ot the Tiger scores at guard.

Individual stars were Captain Dennis Mooney, who led the team in scoring with T68 points, was voted most valuable player, and was placed on the All- League second team, Jack Swede Westlund, third high scorer and All-League honorable mention, Al McQueen, elected most improved player, and Don Paris, team second high scorer. Lettermen included, Jim McDowell, forward, Bob Myers, forward, Bob Little, forward, Don Paris, center, Al McQueen, center, Jack Westlund, guard, Dennis Mooney, guard, Charles Loos, guard, and John Gerhart, manager.
