By MARK MUSOLF Sports Writer Before the year's first game against Pasadena, a lot of people were wondering how Fullerton could do it again. The offense boasted one player who had seen regular action last year, and the defense had five. Pasadena, last year's JRB rep- resentative, had so many lettermen that freshman hopefuls were told to try out for cheerleading. However, Fullerton had something going for them that no other junior college had. They had a string of 28 games without a loss, and Hal Sherbeck wouldn't let them forget it. There was another incentive this year with the advent of the \• first state playoffs. "The first time I met with the a slow defense, and running backs team we showed them a film of that were as fast as mailmen at ' 1\ the best plays from last year," said Christmas time. Fullerton needed a Sherbeck. "The rest of the coaches safety to get them on the score- and I set some goals for the boys board, and a second string quarter- that seemed pretty far reaching back to lead them to two touch- at the time.

The team followed the pattern for the rest of the season. They struggled past Golden West, a team that won half its games, 13-7. Highly touted Orange Coast fell to Jim Fassel and company, 39-7.

Amirault acounted for 644 yards in the three playoff 'ames, and Orcutt caught s'x touchdown passes, all from Am- irault. It was at Bakersfield that the title was decided. Said Sherbeck of the team. "I've never worked with a group of boys who gave of them- selves as this group did in the Bakersfield game. It was a tre- mendous team effort."

Looking back on an excellent 1967, Coach Tellez stated that the San Diego Invitational was the turning point for his outfit. "After the San Diego Meet I was sure that we had it. Up until then, while I EDGED OUT thought we were good, I did have my doubts." When the dust had finally cleared away, Pasadena (the one squad Fullerton did not beat at all this season) found itself on the top rung UNMARKED SEASON of the ladder- collecting a meager 71 points. The Hornets were close Fullerton finished with a sparkling 10-0 slate, capturing the Eastern behind with 78 markers, while Bakersfield slipped a bit from their Conference title in the process. Their only dual meet defeat came at earlier showings, accumulating a fat 92 tallies and skidding to third. the hands of Golden West. The Rustlers later got theirs, however, at the EC championship meet. Coach Tellez later summed up what he thought of the meet. "I felt After that it was fourth in the Southern Cal "function" followed that it ended the way it should have.

FISTER GREATEST Perhaps more than any other sport, Cross-Country takes an enor- mous amount of concentration and individual fortitude. Tellez also had a few comments about his runners- individually.

He was te most consistent runner all year that I know of. And then on the day of the meet have one or two "fans" there to "Larry Conrad improved tremendously. We could always count on cheer him on.

Though recognized as a strong team throughout the East- ern Conference, the Hornets were underrated by prognosti- cators and not expected to reach the So. Cal. Playoffs. Every- one felt Orange Coast would easily take the top E.C. spot but the second place position was certainly up for grabs. Even after Orange Coast had clinched the championship a three way tie existed for second place and a playoff berth. The beginning of the season was soured by a first game loss time in the season, the Hornets to UC Irvine.
