FACULTY 05 S T EDERS The Woodrow Wilson faculty faced a great challenge on December 14th when it hosted the famous KYA Oneders as part of a basketball double-header in the school gym. Before an overflow crowd the faculty put up a gallant struggle but they finally succumbed to the talented disc jockeys. Led by former War- rior great Rick Barry, the Oneders pulled away in the last quarter to score an 85-63 Victory. In the other game Wilson's Championship Basketball Team came from behind to smash the Alumni team. The Varsity was led by Ansley Truitt and Larry I-Iaren. Leading the faculty team was Big Ed Rueda. w t fs, -N .s I- Q 1- 1 t X r -ss. . ft a t , , 1-ffsaeis - - s .: ' - ft ,. fra. :fines f ., . , - .. :-5 , . 1 - 'mf ' : X.

Cagers take pre-season titles The '67-'68 version of the Woodrow Wilson varsity basketball team warmed up for a perfect season by winning all practice games and captur- ing two pre-season tournaments. In the Riodan Christmas Tournament, the Warriors rolled over Aragon, 55-21, Poly, 71- 60, and Sacred Heart, 51-41. Ansley Truitt was voted the Most Valuable Player award, and he was joined on the All-Tournament team by team- mates Larry Haren and Eli Neal. Mitty, Lowell, and O' Dowd were Wilson's opponents in the Bishop O'Dowd Christmas Toura- ment, and all three were victimized by Truitt and Co. on scores of 78-46, 50-42, and 56-51, rexpectively. Again Truitt was voted the Most Valuable Player and was joined on the A11- Tournament team by teammates Willie Daigle, Larry Haren, and Mike Mims. Against O'Dowd, the undefeated Warriors - San Francisco's newest prep squad - were facing Ca1ifornia's No. 1 prep cage squad. When Wil- son emerged victorious it was the first time in three years that O'Dowd did not win its own tournament. The top scorers of the game were Truitt with 20 points, Mims 17, and l-laren 10. A typical performance by Truitt was in the Mitty game. Towering Ansley meshed 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. On the opposite page, Ansley Truitt assumes a posi- tion that characterized Warrior play all season, dur- ing which he dominated the boards and was usually the top scorer in each game. It was perfect practice for a perfect season. L. Wilson's 6' 9-1!2 center Ansley Truitt is shown in action against the Crusaders. Page 61 5 X
