Name Munoz FJC Player of Year Accorded the highest honor that can be paid a junior college athlete, Frank "Kiko" Munoz, 902 North Janss, Anaheim, sparkplug of the Fullerton Junior College grid machine this fall, was named "player of the year" by the Southern California Board of Football last week. The honor, never before bestowed on a Fullerton athlete, was the unanimous decision of the board after reviewing his record of scoring fourteen touchdowns and amassing a total of more than 1500 yards of progress during the ten-game Hornet schedule. Munoz scored in nine of the ten games, scoring twice in three encounters and a triple in one game. Scrimmage plays averaged 5.27 yards per try for the 78 times he carried the ball while in the pass receiving department he caught thirty passes for 615 yards or an average of 20.5 yards. His runbacks of kickoffs, punts and pass interceptions netted several hundred yards, the most sensational runback being an 85-yard spring for a touchdown in the opening game of the season. In naming Munoz, the board justified the action of the Fullerton Junior college student body which recently retired his jersey number for a period of 20 years. Not only was the action taken for his outstanding athletic ability, but also the fact that Munoz returned from the service after suffering serious war injuries and carried on despite physical handicap to athletic greatness at the Fullerton school. Strong competitors for the honor were John Finney, Compton, who was named player of the year in 1946 and Anse McCullough, quarterback of the little Rose Bowl Chaffey Panthers, who was named athlete of the month.
