Varsity Football A surprising but well-earned victory over San Pedro in the final week of the season enabled the Tartar grid squad to salvage a little glory from an otherwise disastrous season. Recipients of seven straight losses prior to their final encounter, the Tartars seemingly emerged from their lethargy to edge out the Pirates by one point, therefore literally handing the Marine League crown on a silver platter to their traditional rivals from Narbonne. True to his pre-season promise, Coach Hoffar in his first year provided T.H.S. with a fighting team which, though often down, was never out. Three seniors, Sonny Post, Charles Rippy, and Dave Wilkes, were awarded spots on the All-League teams for their outstanding play. The first football season after Pearl Harbor found several wartime re- strictions in effect: namely, elimination of practice games and a ban of stu- dent travel to games. In spite of these two items and the fact that it was a mediocre season, there was no lag in the school spirit which has earned tops in sportsmanship in the league for two years running. Basketball Handicapped by lack of experience and several injuries, the Varsity Basketball team nevertheless fought well through an unsuccessful season. Leading Gardena in the first half, they were in defeated in their first game after Woodburn spi-fined his ankle. With two of the first stringers complete- ly inexperienced, the team made a better showing than any other school against the undefeated Banning Pilots, but couldn't seem to get started, until late in the first half, during the other games. The usual starting lineup was: Ed Egerer, Bill Johns: forwards, Wallace Kvilvang: center. Ralph Wolfe: and Jim Woodburn: Guards. Egerer was chosen on the All-Marine League team being the second high scorer in the city. Other members of the team were Melvin Miller, David Callahan, Lee Campbell, Ed Smith, J. A. Barrington, Paul Pierson, and Wayne Lovelady. The Bee Team also failed to win any games in league competition, be- cause of inexnerience, but showed a great deal of improvement at the end of the season. Lettermen were Ernest Floyd, Tom Nuckles, Ted Long, Bill Stanley, Art Schaller, Philip Lisman, Lawrence Pankey, and Ralph Pegors.
