Some 26 southland highschools are represented on this year's squad - three teams of 12 players each ­picked from among those schools which played in leagues bracketed in the "smallschools", "A" and "AAft divisions ot the C.I.F. playoffs. The Helms Board firstpicked "small schools" all-star teams in football in 1951.

Robert Baiz's Fermin-tasuen Padres placed the most reprGsFntatives onthe three honor teams, with tour players, three of them on the first team. Lasuenwon the "AAtI division playoff's, downing runner-up St. Monica's, 1+0-7. st. Monica'splaced three boys on the honor teams, while Brea-olinda, champion in nA" Divisionplay, also placed three. Bob McCUtcheon's Mustangs from Needles, "small school"division title winners over Lutheran, 1.3-9, placed two men. Only other teams toplace as many as two players on the teams were Laguna Beach and Carlsbad, thelatter winner of San Diego 1s Palomar League title.

Small schools player of the year honors were accorded Hemet High Schoolhalfback, Ken Martin, who led his Bulldogs teammates to a championship season inthe De Anza League and ten straight victories. Hemet met Laguna in the "A" groupplayoffs, dt'Opping a hard-tought 14-13 decision t. the Artists, who went on tothe finals, losing to Brea-olinda, 32-7.

He ran for over 1,000 yards, ashe did last year as a first team CIF performer, and gained much additional yardagefor his team through the air lanes. Over the past two seasons Ken has been a greatdefensive player also, performing at either the halfback or safety positions. Heintercepted nine tosses this season and 21 throws over the past two years. Whatmakes Ken I s achievements so remarkable this year is the fact that he was involvedin a serious auto accident last year during Christmas vacation, requiring consider­able repair work to one of his legs.

The Toilers hadfive representatives on the 1962 All-City selections, three on thefirst team. Birmingham, the city's highest .scoring team in leagueplay with 171 points in five games, placed four of its stalwarts,with three of them gaining first team recognition.

"Player ot the year" balloting was spirited during the Helmsfive-hour selection meeting, with San Pe~o tailback, Ronnie Barber,final~y winning the ooveted title. Barber, an All-City ohoice lastyear, led San Pedro to a triple tie for first place in Marine Leagueaction this year and did not have the opportunity to compete in theplayoffs due to a loss of the coin flip. Barber, a single-wing tail­back in coach Bill Seixas' versatile Pirate attack, had a 1,16l-yardtotal offense mark over the past season. Ron gained 843 yards runningand completed 50 percent of his passes for an additional 318 yards.Last year, Barber was also named the Marine League's top performerand his two-year statistics show him accounting for 2,508 yards intotal offense and 31 TDs. Of this total, 1,819 yards were gainedrushing. Over a two-year span, Barber accounted for an average of179 yards per game in total offense and a six-yard average running.

Ronnie Barber will reoeive his tlplayer of the year" medalaward at the 26th annual All-Southern California Board of FootballAwards Progrmn to be held at Helms Hall on Saturday morning, January19, at 10:30 a.m. At this ttme, all those boys named for All-LosAngeles City Football Team honors will'be presented with framedscroll awards from All-Southern California Board of Football Q

Six players on this year's All-City team were picked lastseason also. Manual Arts tackle, Harry Wells, and Ron Barber were1961 first team selections, while two of this year's first-teambackfield -- Clayton Calhoun of Manual and Alex Sotomayor of Garfield-- were second team choices last fall. Third team end, Jerry Lewisfrom Manual, was second team piok last year and Sterling Mansfield,Birmingham center, was again named to the third team e

Six juniors named to the three honor teams will have the op­portunity to shine on the gridiron again next season.

Coach George Goff's Binmingham Braves marched straight throughfive west-Valley League opponents, scoring a city league high of 171points in the process, while allowing its opponents a mere 7 digits.It was no wonder then, that the Braves placed six players on the all­league first team when Helms' All-City Board of Football met at HelmsHall last week to pick its annual football teams.

Coach Goff's Gladiators averaged 34 points in five league con­tests and a mere point and a half to its opponents. The Braves cameinto the City playoffs steamed up over the opportunity to make amendsfor last year's city finale loss to Manual Arts. Meeting in the firstround, Manual had too many guns for the West-Valley champs, bestingthem, 32-20, however.

And it was Birmingham1s DUdley Schusterick who hauled down "topplayer ft honors for 1962. The Braves' quarterback, who passed for 90of the 171 points scored by his team, was Coach Goff's main offensiveweapon and the 5 r ll, 155-pounder certainly led his team to a most re­markable offensive season in 1962.

A pair of Brave linemen -- Don McSwain and Sterling Mansfield _~are repeaters from last season's first all-league team. Marv Adamoand John Thomas, first team linemen on the t62 team, were on the SGC~ond squad last year. Jim Schmedding and Mike Reece, both of GranadaHills, are second team repeaters.

The 1962 standings behind Birmingham were Canoga Park (3-2),Cleveland (2-2-1), Taft (2-3), Reseda (2-3), and Granada Hills (O-4-~)~

All-League players will receive special scroll awards from All­Los Angeles Board of Football for 1962. The scrolls will be mailedto league coaches for presentation at the schools. DUdley Schusterickwill be presented with his "player of the year" medal award nt the26th annual All-Southern California Board of Football Awsr ds Program,to be held at Helms Hall on Saturday morning, January 19, at 10:30 aam e............................... .~~ .u.

1961

The very strengthy Marine League wound up in a three-way tie forfirst place in 1962 among San pedro, Banning and Gardena. Consequentlyfirst-team representation on this year's All-Marine League Team issplit up pretty evenly among these stalwart elevens.

Ron Barber, one of two juniors to make the All-City Team last year,was a unanimous "player of the yearll choice for the second year in arow. Last year, Ronnie scored 72 points and was the c1ty 's third highscorer. He did just as well in 1962, posting 73 points on 12 TDe anda .single· PAT. Barber played tailback on coach Bill Seixas' single­wing powcJh~use. Coach Seixas calls Ron liThe greatest high schoolplayer I have seen or coached in my 14 years in the business. II

The evenness of the play in the Marine League this year is quiteevident from the fact that four players each from Banning and Gardenaand three boys from san pedro were placed on the all-league first team.Jordan end, John Wilkins, was the only "outsider" to break into thefirst team lineup.

Four players are back from last year's All-Marine teams. Ron Bar­ber is ~e only first team repeater, while Banning's Eddie Kapu and DonHorn of Gardena elevated themselves from the second team of last Year.Gamalier Lesure of San pedro, a second-team selection this year, wason the 1961 first team.

~e top three Marine League clUbs finished the regular season withidentical 3-1 records, while Jordan (1-3) and Narbonne (0-4) brought upthe rear. Banning, winner of the coin flip to get into the city play-offs, beat Huntington Park, Eastern Loop king-pins, 26-13 and East­valley co-champ poly, 20-13, before falling to mighty Manual Arts, 35-7.
