During the halt-time in a football game our cross country team has a race with the El Monte team. C'1-MA C'oun try The cross country team, coached by James Eacutt, and under the direction of Don Rose, won six out of nine meets and did very well against some of the outstanding squads in Southern Cali- tornia. There weren't enough teams in the League for a title, but if there was a championship, the Tigers could claim it, having beaten their only league opponent, Glendale. This marked the first time in the sport's history that South Pasadena had beaten Glendale. The leading runner was Scott Fisher, who nosed out Willie Howell by one point, meets being scored on lowest score winning, etc. Other Lettermen included Tom Shove, Robert Swink, Jay Bowers, Roy Burdge, and Bob Myers, and John Michel, manager.

F46 The varsity track squad, ably coached by'James Eacutt, simply lacked the depth of a championship team but it did show some outstanding indi- vidual performances. Of the six dual meets, the Tigers competed in this year, three were won. After defeating Pomona, the Tigers won two out ot five league meets, beating Burbank and Muir, while losing to Burroughs, Glendale, and Hoover. The two outstanding highlights of the season were the record breaking performances of Phil Brabyn and Wells Martell. Brabyn broke Dex Ragatz's school record for the shot put with a toss 53' 8V2 , to erase the old mark of 52' llV2 . Martell broke the one year old 180 low hurdles record, chopping two-tenths of a second off Jim Noe's record of 20.55 to set the new mark at 20.35. Brabyn was defeated only once in league competition, while Martell shows much promise if he keeps working hard, being only a iunior. Phil Brabyn captained the squad and he, Martell, and Ken Kiesler were the three top point getters for the season. Kiesler, while breaking no records, showed what an athlete can do if he tries hard enough by winning his share of high iump and broad iump ribbons while also let- tering in baseball and playing at the same time, Ken's best marks were 5' Tl in the high iump, and 20' 2 in the broad jump. He also returns next year. Other performers included Willie Howell and Alan McQueen, milers, Ken Simpson, Hai Hunter, and Bill Wottord, sprints, Tim Norton, an out- standing performer in the 440, hurdles, and relay, Walter Conn, who scored no points in league competition, but came through when the chips were down to take fifth in the league in the low hurdles, Charles McAvoy, pole vault, Ted Polich and Don Bennett, who finished fourth and fifth respectively in the league finals as shot putters, George Underhill, 440, Bob Myers, 880, and Don Shorts, hurdles. The Bee and Cee tracksters did not fare as well as the varsity, the Bees winning one meet, and the Cees none, but nevertheless turned in some fine performances. Dick Woods, hurdler, and Bill Chapman, sprinter, captained the Bees. Other Bee lettermen included: John White, John Connelly, and Dick Edwards, shot put, Marc Sandstrom, Tom Shove, and Tetsuo Ueda, sprints, Jim Lashbrook, Buddy Melkesian, and Dick Sands, hurdles, Paul Weed, high jump, Charles Buck, pole vault, Don Paris and Cliff Altenburger, 1320. ' The Cees were captained by Jud Prather and Bob Tuller, who both got into the league finals in their events, 'l00 yard dash, and 660, respectively. Other lettermen were: Ken Keck, Tom Harvey, and Tom Twist, sprints, and Ronnie Clyde, broad lump. lla:-Aitq 2 .

ity Ka e6 I ?oo tliill league Cham For only the third time in the history of the high school, South Pasadena's Varsity Baseball Team captured the League Title. For Coach C. Merrill Green this marked a clean sweep in his coaching year, a championship in both basketball and baseball. The Tigers came back strongly to take the title. After winning the first two games over Burbank and Burroughs, 7-'l and 8-'l, respectively, the horsehiders ran into some tough luck and dropped two contests, to Hoover 2-l, and Glendale 3-2. They defeated League leading Muir 9-3, and then started the second round by downing Burbank again 2-T. But Burroughs liked the Tigers 5-l, to put them in third place. Then they became a new team, full of hustle and playing as a good baseball team should. Hoover fell 4-2, Glendale 7-'l, and Muir 5-4. Then in the do or die play-oFf game with Glendale the Tigers came through with a 3-l vitcory to enter the CIF play-offs. The Tigers also placed second in the pre-season Pomona Tour- nament. Ken Brown, with his fine pitching, led the Tigers to their championship. Brooks Hughes also turned in some fine mound performances. The tigers boasted some fine hitters, Don Seavey and Dennis Walker both hitting over .400, and Jim Knerr, Dennis Mooney, and Mike Giddings clearing the .300 mark. Mooney proved to be the outstanding catcher in the league. The infield of Knerr, Seavey, Jim McDowell, and Giddings gave Brown and Hughes great support, while outfielders Pete Reynolds, Jack Ferron, Ken Kiesler, and Walker also caught anything they got their hands on.
