Board of Athletics for the 1964 season. Selection of Buehler and three CIF nAAAA" Division teams was made at the 28th annual selection meeting of prep writers fram throughout Southern C&ifornia at Helms Hall in Los Angeles. Buehler and two teammates -- quarterback Tim Walker and tackle Tam Seminnff -- were named on the elF honor teams fnr 1964, as Whittier made it through a tough playoff schedule following a Pacific League tie with Alhambra. In the playoffs, Whittier defeated pasagena (13-13 on first downs), Santa Ana Valle-y (14-7), Long Beach Poly (27-12) and the Loyola Cuba (21-14). At 6-feet, two inches and 235 pounds, Buehler is among the strongest players to have performed in prep grid annals in the South­ land. He was ~963 heavyweight wrestling champ in elF ranks. He put the shot over 60 feet in track. He is extremely aggressive and from his ~inebacking position on defense has an amazing ability to diagnose plays. Coach Lopez informs that the Poly coachin.g; staff -- the Cards defeated them 27-12 -- feels that Buehler will be another Mike Ditka. For having been named CIF "AAAA n Division Player of the Year for 1964, George Buehler, along with players named for first, second, and third team honors, will be honored at the 28th annual All-Southern California Board of Football Awards Program to be held at Helms Hall an Saturday morning, January 16, at 10:30 a.m. Players, coaches and dig­ nitaries from the football scene will be in attendance.
