Swinging Into Action University City High has been in one of the most dominating leagues since their existence. The young team, however, played competitively through the season, and never gave up against such tough defenders as Misson Bay and Point Loma. Having seven returning veterans, added to the ex- perience and unity of the team. A few exceptional players moved up from J.V., and with a couple of new acquisitions, the team had well rounded talent. Defen.se was their strongest point, and with extra effort, their offense improved over the season. With their aggressive style of play, the Centurions left their fans anxious for the following year.
