The Vikings landed Ronnie Knox in the backfield and Boyd Carter at end. Hoover's Bill Heil was placed at blocking back, while Laird Willott was nailing down a guard position. From Redlands, tackle Ken Stockham and backfield ace Glen Goins made the honor team. There were no repeaters from 1951 on the three C.I.F. squads. There were several juniors named to the teams, but only one sophomore, Charles McMurtry, who was named at guard on the second team. • Players named for honors on the first, second and third All-C.I.F. teams will receive Helms Athletic Foundation framed scroll awards at the Sixteenth Annual All-Southern California Board of Football awards program at Helms Hall, Saturday morning, January 10th at 10:30 am.
