Norman Veeh, of Tustin, a brilliant all-around back, was the only player to cap- tore honors for the second consecutive year, Veeh was chosen for the blocking tack assignment on the 1942 AllSouthern California outfit, ' Williams and Hennesey iinke up a pair of glue-fingered ends, who caught passes galore and knew what to do with the pigskin after they had gathered it in Both boys sparkled on defense, too, Pomeroy was a definite standout in the lino for a strong Whittier eleven, while Hoover Glendale*s Bill Tritt was known far and wide for his brilliant play at a tackle post, Keith Deeds, of Wilson, wasri i. ]arge, but he packed plenty of TNT at a guard berth, I.euzingor’s Bob Lefort is hailed as one of the greatest linesmen in Bay League circles, and that’s a compli -n.r.t — for many out&hnding linesmen have been developed in that League in recent years, Bonita’s Dick Mayhew 'was one of the foremost players of the 1943 prep s'hool football season, Ile was entitled to the center post. He did everything expected of an outstanding pivot-man, ' ' The All-Southern California sparkles brightly with fast-stepping backs - Reeh, Nebo, Dean and Chadwick are all speed burners'who know their wáy to the r go .il line, Veeh scored 55 points curing the season, Nebo tallied 79, Dean chalked 71 and Chadwick collected 72, Veeh aslo passed to 42 additional paints. Like Veeh, Nebo excelled at passing, Veeh and Chadwick turned in good jobs in the pünting department* Big A1 Sawaya, of Ban Diego, a blocker of the first order, easily annexed the blocking back assignment* Bob Lefort, guard, is the only 200-pounder on the squad. He tips the hoam at 220,
