It.,·W'dS the opinion of members of All Southern California Board of Football that quarterback Jim Contratt. was the young man who did most to guide the Compton Tartars to the Southern California C.l.F. gridiron-title·in 1949, and so he was named C.I.F. Player of the Year. In regu~ar-season play, Cont~atto bagged a total of 72 points: chalked up 568 yards on running, for an average of 7.47 yards per carrYil completed 42 passes for a total gain of 823 yards; and account-~ ed for a punting averag~ of 37.07 yards a boot. Compton's Southern valifornia champion coach, Chuck Williams, contends that Contratto is the finest all-around back he has ever tutored. Coaches whose teams opposed Compton in 1949 lauded the br~lliant Tartar quarterback for his outstanding all-around perform­ ances. The name of Jim Contratto will therefore be added to the list of other prep school 'greats' who:have been chosen for Player of the Year honors by the Helms Board over the past thirteen years.
