4 iii - With the anticipated confirmation of the San Diego Charger ' s contract to construct two foot- ball fields on campus for summer training purposes, football intramurals were initiated in a frenzied atmosphere of enthusiasm, excitement, and nerves. After minor disagreements of rules and regulations had been settled, the Junior class moved into the arena of physical contact and competition. The Class of 1970 dominated the scene with a strong running game and team balance of a ferocious line, two flashy ends, a quick backfield and quarterback Terry Mullikin, (66), who came from oblivion in Redwood City to ranking as one of the top college signal callers. Threats from a rising Sophomore team were met in the climatic second game in which a determined squad of Sophomores were pitted against the tenacious Junior team. This conflict resulted in a frustrating 6-6 tie. But the Juniors were able to demolish and humble future con- frontations and ended an anti-climatic campaign as the undisputed victors. Members from the various class squads were chosen to an All -Star Team which competed in a friendly rivalry among Cal Baptist, LABC, and LIFE. This year, the SCC All-Stars, behind the organization of Athletic Commissioner, Paul Crissman, took a third place by losing to Cal Baptist 19-13, and whipping LABC in the consolation game 28-6. With the advent of proposed football fields, ardent football fans have grasped a new hope for possible official intercollegiate participation in the future . 32
