TIN V9 an 'bw The Temple City varsity basketball team, coached by Marty Pelka, ended up its league season with an unimpressive two-win, tenvloss record. The squad's main problem this year was lack of height, for the Rams lost all but two of their champion team members last year. The one bright spot on the record, however, was the 41-34 upset of third-place Bell Gardens on the Rams' home floor. Temple's squad consisted of the following boys: Al Langdale, elected co-captain of the team, even though he was pronounced ineligible in the middle of the season because of age. Al looked very good in the non-league contest with Claremont High, when he sank 16 digits to be TC's high-point man. Rick Scott, most valuable player and co-captain of this year's team. Rick looked exceptionally good in the first Arroyo tilt, where he racked up seven baskets to lead the team scoring-wise, with a total of 14 points. Ron Surdam played an important role in Temple's 41-34 upset against Bell Gardens. Ron hit 10 of TC's 41 digits, to be second highest scorer ofthe game. Dennis Gallagher, named most improved player of the year. Dennis starred in the Temple City-Bell Gardens upset, in which he netted 14 digits, to come out top scorer ofthe game. Ron Coleman had his day in the Temple City-Arroyo clash, when 'he dumped in 22 points to be Top scorer ofthe game. Bob Rose sank 12 points in the second halt of the Temple versus Arroyo game to start a Ram scoring surge. Bob proved to be second highest scorer in that tilt. Dan Brook ran the team superbly in the first Santa Fe clash. Temple won the game by a score of 29-33. ' Bob Jones dropped in nine points when Temple topped Claremont High by a 51-40 count. Chuck Day proved to be top scorer in the second Temple City-Arroyo game. Chuck dropped in eight points, one basket a beautiful hook shot, but the Rams could not top their opponents, as they were beaten 47-38. Richard Howard, one of the two returning varsity members, played at a forward position. Richard looked very good in several games. LeRoy Morkre dropped in a half-court shot in the final seconds of the last quarter of play in the Temple City-Artesia game. The Rams were beaten soundly by a score of 46-23. 'Q
