1957: Downey Gives Cavers Tummyache

San Diego had two teams in the Southern California finals and another poised to advance, but neither could get over the hurdle.

Three losses by the area’s best, based on enrollment size, made for a  bitterly disappointing end to a difficult and unprecedented season, made uneven and often unimportant by the invasion of a virus known as the Asian Flu.

San Diego High won  11 consecutive games at the big table, then fell flat and lost in the championship, 24-7, to Downey. The Cavers also lost in the finals in 1925, ’33, and ’47.

Ramona, after sitting for three weeks with canceled or postponed games, was beaten by Bishop 33-0 in  finals for the smallest schools,  those with under 500 enrollment.

Visiting Santa Ana Mater Dei defeated Escondido, 20-14 after the Cougars had eliminated Calexico, 48-12.

Defense was hallmark of Cavemen. from left: Neal Petties, Manuel Darisay, Mike Ritchey, Robert Fowler, Carlos Gutierrez, Calvert Fackrell, Larry Landon, George Coggins.

SLEIGHT OF HAND

Quarterback Pete Yoder of Downey almost faked San Diego High out of Aztec Bowl, where some 12,500 persons were on hand, including 22 busloads of red-clad partisans who ventured down U.S. 101 to support the visiting Vikings and arrived two-and-a-half hours before kickoff.

(The Downey supporters  also were hungry, setting an Aztec Bowl record at the concession stands, according to San Diego State official Spence Gartz).

Downey had knocked out San Diego, 35-21, in the first round of the 1956 playoffs, when the Vikings were  on a fast track to a legendary championship game that would pit Downey’s Randy Meadows against Anaheim’s famed Mickey Flynn.

San Diego was favored in the rematch.

After starting the season with a loss and a tie, Downey kicked in with 11 straight victories.

Art Buchanan was in the open field for one of the few times, but Dallas Moon, hidden by Caver Robert Felix and the Vikings’ Roger Malstead (79) and Jim Quinn (99) hounded San Diego runners all night.

CAVERS GO BELLY UP

Yoder flawlessly ran  the so-called belly series, in which the quarterback attempts to confuse the defense by appearing to hand off to a ball carrier, then withdraws the ball and hands off to another or runs or passes.

The Vikings rushed for 293 yards, including 194 in the second half.  San Diego ran only six offensive plays in the third quarter and just 16 in the second half.  Downey was successful on one of two onside kickoffs after intermission.

San Diego narrowed the score to 18-7 with 8:45 remaining in the game, then did not see the ball again until 15 seconds were left as the Vikings played keep-away.

The Cavers never figured out the Downey offense.

Cavers coach Duane Maley, who was thinking about retirement and moving into administration, was shocked but not at a loss for words.

“Our line didn’t hold up,” Maley said to Jerry Magee of The San Diego Union.  “We made too many mistakes and they didn’t make any.  We’re not that bad and they’re not that good.”

The Cavemen had swept the City Prep League, then outpointed Sweetwater, 31-7, Montebello, 27-7, and Whittier, 20-6, to gain their sixth trip to the finals 41 years.

HONORS

San Diego tackle Calvert Fackrell was a first-team all-CIF Southern Section choice. End and teammate Neal Petties and quarterback Ezell Singleton were on the second team.

San Diego’s Mike Kellough (arrow), scored one-yard touchdown in Cavers’ 31-7 playoff victory over Sweetwater. Red Devils’ Bill Hill (44) is blocked by San Diego’s Willie McCloud  Albert Belmontez (29) and Joe Meeker (21) of Sweetwater observe, while San Diego’s Iva Tucker (right, on ground) gets up-close look and Roy Pharis (42) surveys backdrop.

Teen magazine named Fackrell, Lincoln quarterback Russ Boehmke and Coronado halfback Hal Tobin to its all-America team.  Boehmke and Tobin received honorable mention on the Wigwam Wisemen of America all-star squad. Seven teams were selected with Jim Josephson of San Jose the only Californian on the first squad.

Tobin was the Southern Section lower division co-player of the year with Santa Ana’s Henry Enriquez. Center Mike Heyn of Coronado and back Gordon Frank of Escondido were on the second team.

NOT THAT BISHOP

Ramona’s opponent in the smallest schools finals was not the private institution in La Jolla, which was years from fielding a football team.

The Bulldogs took on a team located at the foot of the Eastern High Sierras in a small community not unlike Ramona’s, although sitting a couple thousand feet higher.

Bishop bused more than seven hours and 355 miles south, but it was the host Bulldogs who lacked energy. The visiting Broncos scored in every quarter.  Ramona twice advanced to the visitors’ 20-yard line but gave up the ball.

Ramona may not have  recovered from it first playoff trip, to Needles, where the Bulldogs topped the host Mustangs, 20-18.

Ramona to Needles is about 180 miles as the crow flies, but approximately 307 miles via major highways U.S. 395 and U.S. 66 after a 20-mile jaunt from the the Bulldogs mountain community on State 67.

There were other, shorter distances on rural highways but those might not have gotten the Bulldogs there any sooner.

P.D. Jernigan, later known later as Pete during a 10-season career mostly spent the baseball AAA Pacific  Coast League, was a contributor to Mount Miguel’s surprising, first-year record of 5-3.

MONARCHS RUN AND RUN

Escondido outgained Mater Dei, 364 yards to 359, but the Monarchs, guided by future NFL coach Dick Coury, rushed for 340 yards and, after building a 20-7 halftime advantage, held off the Cougars before 6,500 persons at Escondido.

The visitors came on the field in a military double time and ran their plays with soldierly precision. Fullback Henry Enriquez kept the Cougars at a distance by rushing for 171 yards in 26 carries and scored on a 32-yard run.

The Monarchs topped Claremont, 20-14, for the Southern Group title and San Marino beat Pomona Catholic, 26-13, for the Northern Group championship, both divisions for small schools.

SAINTS FINALLY FIND THEIR NICHE

St. Augustine joined the City Prep League after decades on the outside.

The school opened in 1922 and played its first game in 1924, then meandered through the years with a “Have-Team-Give-Us-A-Game” mantra.

The Saints were in the Southern Prep League from 1941-43 but their games did not count in the standings.

St. Augustine was a member of the Los Angeles-area Southland Catholic League from 1945-50. Travel was costly for the small, private school, which teetered on athletic insolvency.

The Rev. John  R. Aherne joined the school faculty in 1942 and was named principal in 1952. The 6-foot, 5-inch Aherne became a towering figure in the community.

Aherne, with Bob Breitbard, and Notre Dame athletic director Moose Krause, held swat at Appreciation Night.
Aherne (left), with Bob Breitbard, and Notre Dame athletic director Moose Krause, led St. Augustine.

Aherne lobbied the media, enjoyed power lunches with civic big shots at the Grant Grille downtown and Lubach’s on Harbor Drive,  and was the driving force behind St. Augustine’s “Appreciation Night” which was first held in 1955 and became an event so large in scope that principal speakers included major college coaches and some of the country’s leading sports figures.

City schools, uneasy about St. Augustine’s ability to recruit in their school districts, possible conflicting  eligibility issues, and that the Saints represented the  Catholic faith, finally let them into the club.

In its 33rd year of football St. Augustine at last had some local partners.

Russ Boehmke completed 16×25 passes for 207 yards and ran 43 yards for a touchdown in Lincoln’s 20-7 win over Point Loma.

THREE NEWCOMERS IN THE VILLAGE

Crawford opened on 55th Street in East San Diego, taking a huge chunk of Hoover’s enrollment.

Carlsbad finally broke off from Oceanside and went out on its own, but students still attended classes in the building at Oceanside High.  There no longer was an Oceanside-Carlsbad High.

Helping itself to Helix and Grossmont expatriates, Mount Miguel rose in Spring Valley, in the shadow of the 2,559-foot Mount San Miguel.

Crawford and Carlsbad essentially played junior varsity opponents. The teams’ varsities met and  Carlsbad defeated Crawford 20-13, on John Penrod’s 85-yard pass interception return.

OLE!

Mount Miguel’s Matadors had some impressive firsts.  Rocky Barsotti scored a touchdown the first time Mount Miguel had the ball in the Metropolitan League carnival.

Wayne Summers returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown and the Bullfighters dispatched Mar Vista 20-6 in their first-ever game.

Coach Tom Welbaum, who left Helix to Dick Gorrie when the Mount Miguel position opened, directed the new school to an impressive, 5-3 start. Included were victories over big brothers Grossmont, 32-14,  and Helix, 21-19.

Sweetwater’s Bob Jordan intercepted pass by San Diego’s Ezell Singleton and looked to avoid Cavers defender Art Buchanan (22).

AVOCADO COACHES WAVE WHITE FLAG

There was  no question that coach Bob (Chick) Embrey’s Escondido Cougars were a landslide choice to win the Avocado League.

Oceanside’s John Simcox described the Cougars as “sure winners”.

“Escondido could lose its eleven starters and still have a club which could take the league,” said Mar Vista’s Art Filson.

The Cougars are “twice as good” as anyone else, said Vista’s Harry Johnston.

Pessimist Embrey tried to downplay his club’s prospects, but wasn’t convincing:  “I thought it might be our year to really go, but in addition to…injuries (17 players reportedly out for awhile), our line hasn’t been coming around.”

The Cougars were undefeated in league play (6-0) and outscored its brethren 239-52 en route to a 9-1 campaign. A 47-6 win over Fallbrook gave Escondido a sendoff of 18 consecutive league wins.

HIGH-STEPPING HAL

Coronado’s Hal Tobin (below) was the leading scorer in Southern California with 144 points in nine games, although Escondido held Tobin to 51 yards in 18 carries and one touchdown when the Cougars routed the Islanders 49-18 in the Avocado League’s biggest game.

Tobin, who would continue on to play at USC, finished with 1,029 yards in 127 carries for an  8.5-yard average in leading the undermanned Islanders to a 5-4 record.

Tobin was unique in pursuit of points after touchdowns.  He ran for the point by lining up 8 yards behind the center and taking a direct snap.

Tobin kept Islanders afloat.

STEP RIGHT UP!

Writer Jerry Magee of The San Diego Union let it all hang out in the lead on his story for the City Schools’ carnival:  “Some 300 strutting girls…eight bands, music, pageantry, and football derring do–and all for the price of a single admission!”

Magee described a “sideshow hawker in a checked vest” employing such a spiel to describe the 19th annual event, which drew 20,000 to Balboa Stadium.  On the same night the Metropolitan League carnival was viewed by an overflow crowd of 12,500 in Aztec Bowl.

The East’s Kearny, Point Loma, Lincoln, and San Diego outscored the West, 24-0, as each squad scored a touchdown in the City League extravaganza.  El Cajon, Mount Miguel, and Helix of the East topped Grossmont, Chula Vista, and Sweetwater of the West 13-6 in the suburbans’ fourth annual carnival.

SIGN OF THE TIMES

The state division of highways announced plans for a four-lane road from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona.

“When the freeway is completed you will be able to drive from San Diego to Yuma without encountering a stoplight or intersecting road,” said Jacob Dakema, district highway engineer.

The trip would obviously be  faster but also shorter, said Dakema.  The Highway 80 route covers 178 miles.  The interstate drive will be 173 miles.

The freeway will be part of the Interstate Highway System, inaugurated in 1956 by President Eisenhower partly as a means of quicker transportation and mobilization of troops in event of a crisis in the Cold War with the Soviet Union.

THE KEARNY COMET

Ed Buchanan  of Kearny led the CPL with 86 points in eight games and scored 53 consecutive points for the Komets, including the last touchdown in a 13-13 tie with Point Loma.  He scored  all of his team’s points in a 26-13 win over St. Augustine and 13-6 triumph over Hoover, and the first seven points in a 44-20 win over Mission Bay.

Buchanan kept Kearny in the game every week.

The 165-pound, :09.6 100-yard dasher passed 50 yards to Kenny Griffin for the second touchdown against Mission Bay, then returned a punt 75 yards for the third touchdown.

Buchanan, who rushed 24 times for 209 yards against St. Augustine, had two additional touchdowns against the Saints nullified by penalties.

Buchanan went on to an outstanding career at San Diego Junior College, was a nine-season player in the Canadian Football League, and was named to the Saskatchewan Roughriders all-time team.

YUMANS IMPRESSED

San Diego did not have  benefit of the new highway, as it bused to  Arizona  over the circuitous U.S. 80.

Quarterback Ezell Singleton completed 14 of 16 passes (the two incompletes were drops) as the Cavers wowed an overflow crowd of 9,000 and defeated the Yuma Criminals 40-0, with a demonstration of ball control.

Four of the Cavers’ six touchdowns  came on drives of 60, 79, 65, and 75 yards. Highlight of the game, however, was a point after touchdown.

The play began with Singleton taking the snap from center, but Singleton soon was trapped by a horde of defenders.  The quarterback lateraled the ball to Bobby Anderson, over Anderson’s head.  The elusive halfback recovered and weaved his way 25 yards into the end zone.

Point Loma coach Bennie Edens apparently also was the team’s part-time trainer, administering to end Ted Faris.

REALIGNMENT

Escondido, twice the size of other Avocado League schools with an enrollment of almost 1,400, will return to the Metropolitan League in 1958.  The Cougars were in the Metro from 1933-42 as one of the original members. They were part of a CIF-designated Group 12 affiliate from 1943-45.

Escondido returned to the Metro in 1946 and became a charter member of the Avocado League in 1954.

City Prep League bosses met for five hours and adjourned with a plan to realign in 1958 with two divisions in basketball and baseball.  Football would continue with one round-robin schedule. La Jolla would continue to be a member, but its games would not count in football.

A new high school, James Madison in Clairemont, reportedly would open in 1958 with its teams competing on a junior varsity level for one year. Madison would bring to 10 the number of CPL schools.

Lincoln, St. Augustine, Hoover, San Diego, and Point Loma would form one division and Kearny, Mission Bay, La Jolla, Crawford, and Madison would be in the other.

Realignment would come in the city with advent of the Eastern and Western Leagues but not until 1959.  Madison would not open until 1962. And La Jolla returned to league standings in 1958 after two seasons in which its games did not count.

Hoover coach Roy Engle declared tackle Don Loshonkohl had “the biggest hands I’ve ever seen.”

REVENUE AND LIGHTS

Lincoln vice principal George Parry attended the re-leaguing meeting and pointed out that the issue of facilities never came up and that only three of the nine CPL schools had lights: La Jolla, Hoover, and San Diego/Balboa Stadium.

Parry revealed that Lincoln realized about $2,000 as its share of gate receipts for a night game in Balboa Stadium with St. Augustine. Lincoln’s share for an afternoon contest with visiting Kearny was about $200, Parry said, stressing the need for more fields with lights.

THE GAMBLER

Shan Deniston always thought the odds were in his favor.

The new Lincoln coach faced a fourth down and three yards to go at Lincoln’s eight-yard line in a game in which the Hornets trailed at Point Loma 7-6 early in the fourth quarter.

Fullback Dick Carey wedged for the first down and Lincoln went on to complete a 99-yard drive, scoring on quarterback Russ Boehmke’s 43-yard dash. Lincoln won, 20-7.

Deniston tested his luck again in Balboa Stadium against San Diego.

After stopping the Cavers on Lincoln’s 5, 20, 16, and 4-yard lines in the first half, the Hornets were on their 36-yard line with  fourth-and-two.  Less than a minute remained in the half.

Cavers' Bobby Anderson, aided by Manuel Darisay's block, pulled away from Lincoln's Jerry Puerile and Gene Sickles to put San Diego ahead.
Cavers’ Bobby Anderson, aided by Manuel Darisay’s block, pulled away from Lincoln’s Jerry Puerile and Gene Sickles.

Lincoln passed incomplete and San Diego took over. On the next play Bobby Anderson zigzagged through the Hornets’ defense to score with 35 seconds left in the half.  San Diego won, 13-7.

Hoover’s Roy Engle strangely rolled the dice against Mount Miguel.

Art Samuel and John Erickson had combined on a 50-yard touchdown pass play to put the Cardinals ahead 21-14 with a minute to play.

Hoover then stunned its home crowd by attempting an on-side kickoff.  The Cardinals recovered and quickly scored again in a 28-14 victory.

SANGUINARY FLOW

“We’ve tasted the tiger’s blood and like the taste,” said Chula Vista coach Bob Geyer after the Spartans surprised Helix’ defending Metropolitan League champion, 32-19, and went on  to a 28-6 win over Mount Miguel and 52-19 victory over El Cajon Valley before a 20-13 loss to Sweetwater in the  title-deciding final game.

1957 or 1954?

Only the first names changed.  Hoover’s Jim Pfister, Sam Sharamitaro, and Jim Young all had brothers, Bill, Al, and Ken, respectively, who played for the Cardinals in 1954.

10 OKAY ONCE

San Miguel School in National City, its numbers shrunk after a 65-0 loss to Ramona, defeated North Hollywood Harvard Military, 13-7, the following week, playing the last half with just 10 players.

The school, which would eventually merge with The Bishop’s in La Jolla in the early 1970’s, pulled the pin on the season, forfeiting its final game to Army-Navy.

San Diego High coach Duane Maley and quarterback Ezell Singleton were architects of 11-1 season..

  1. The above section stirred memories for me in several regards related to a current book I authored, “Once A Trojan Always A Trojan: A True Story” by Phil Ross. Way up high in this blog was a reference to the late, great former Aztec player and later SD prep (e.g., El Capitan), college and longtime NFL assistant coach (offensive line) Jim Erkenbeck, one of the best evaluators of OL talent at every level, who passed away in his early 80s not long after I interviewed him for the book, which was published in late 2013. Jim, to whom my book is dedicated, lived in retirement in North County for several years, a neighbor to a fellow respected longtime NFL assistant, Dick Coury, also mentioned farther down in the above post, on whom I’ll elaborate in a moment. Before his death, “Erk” had moved farther inland up I-15 across into Riverside County. He was fond of watching the main subject of my book, Joe Obbema, a 220-pound Santa Ana Mater Dei fullback and linebacker who scored 19 TDs his senior year in ’65, leading the Coury-coached Monarchs to a CIF-SS title, and later following Obbema at USC, where he was the youngest player on the ’67 consensus national champions. But Erk also compared Obbema and his grit and team loyalty to UW Huskie Kevin Gogan, whom the old coach mentored for years with the Dallas Cowboys; I dug out a humorous old episode that I sourced from the SI Vault regarding Gogan to enhance Jim’s comments since Kevin, a product of old NorCal power S.F. Sacred Heart, was regarded by some as the NFL’s dirtiest player, although kinder folks will concede he just was a tough hombre. In the MD Monarchs item in the aforementioned above post related to a mid-’50s CIF-SS semifinal (I think) win over Escondido, along with Dick Coury, the Monarchs’ CIF-SS Player of the Year, Henry “Hank” Enriquez, also is singled out for a 100-plus-yard rushing performance. I interviewed both for my book because both had coached Joe Obbema and shared some entertaining personal anecdotes about the colorful Obbema. Obbema worked as a bouncer in an El Porto Strand Manhattan Beach club co-owned by Clint Eastwood, Dick Smothers and Jack Ging, the “A Team” General “Bull” Fullbright, while Obbema was studying for his teaching certificate. I describe Obbema as having “a billy-goat-gruff exterior but a soft as-a-lamb’s wool heart.” You’ll find him to be a complex person who has experienced as many ups and downs in life as anyone I’ve ever known. Since Rick Smith’s informative Partleton Sports blog here always yanks my memory strings, I’m likewise certain that San Diego County sports fans will thoroughly enjoy anecdotes, interviews or other tales in “Once A Trojan” involving other SD-area ex-players and coaches at all levels such as Dick Allmon, Jim Melillo, Gary Garrison, Tim Rossovich, Dave Levy, Deacon Jones and the Empress Hotel and Manhattan’s of La Jolla. (The easiest way to access the book is by going into Amazon.com using the following key search words: mr phil ross). The book is reasonably priced at under 10 bucks.

    BTW keep an eye out for my next book, “Taking Down a Health Care Giant,” about a corporate whistleblower, a USC EMBA grad, who also is the son-in-law of “The Colonel,” legendary former USC running backs coach and ex-LBCC and LB State head coach Jim Stangeland, who recruited and coached four Heisman winners, Lincoln’s Marcus Allen, Charles White, Mike Garrett and O.J. Simpson. The Colonel, pushing 93, resides in a Seal Beach assisted care facility. His son-in-law the whistleblower, who played on a CIF-SS co-champion (before tiebreaker days) at Los Alamitos from ’69-’71, worked for 30 years as a middle manager, almost died from a botched surgery when he was stabbed in the vena cava and aorta by one his employer’s own doctors, tried to share info with his bosses after a month in the hospital and 3 more months in home rehab, but they axed him, and now he’s filed separate lawsuits against them for alleged medical malpractice and wrongful termination. The whole thing is mind-boggling and even better than any TV soaper or reality show — trust me. It will be published in 2015.
