LAUR~~S.-BYMELMS FOOTBALL BOARD FOR 194? ..--_._- .. --. "--~--!--_.. ' ~" . 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. Players of the Year ,of the past, follow: ll!lli C.l.F.

In addition to Jim Contratto, who was chosen for All-Southern California C.I.F. second-team honors in 1948, thr~e other players found their names on the A1I-C.I.F. honor roll this year, for the second time. They included South Pasadena's Bob Garrett, and Chaffey' Bill Casler, backs; and Chaffey's fine center, Rudy Valadez. Casler was a third-team AII-C.I.F. choice in 1948, but moved up to the first-team this s~ason. Bob Garrett nabbed a second-team berth in '48, but hopped~on the first-team this time, while Valadez moved up from the '48 third-team to the '49 -second-lineup. The championship Compton eleven placed three stalwarts on the All-Southern California C.I.F. squads. Mike Aguilar, a guard, and Contratto made the first team, while Joe Rose, who registered 690 yards on running plays in 10 contests, snared a third-team post. Santa Barbara, runner-up for the Southern California title, placed three men on the All-C.I.F. squads,' (Peter O'Garro, back; . Marshall Howe, tackle; and William McCourt, end) as did South Pasa­ dena, which provided Bob Garrett, back; Ronnie Stewart, back; and George De Weese, end. Among the backs who put a heavy peddle on the throttle, were To~ Draper, Loyola; John-Lewis, Leuzingeri Ronnie Stewart, South Pasaden~ and Primo Villanueva, Calexico. All scored over 100 points for the season, with'Stewart leading the parade with 144. Excelsior's pa~s­ catching end, ·Bob Smith, tallied 51 points at his post. © LA84 Foundation.
