His name: John F. Kennedy, 25th president of the United States. Much has been said about him since his sudden death last week, and much more will be said about him in the future. We doubt that we can add anything more to his memory but this is our tribute to him, a brief review of his sports life. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the greatest sportsman ever to occupy the presidency of this great country. His love for sports was unabounded. Yachting was among his favorite of sports, and he became a proficient yachtsman from early boyhood where he sailed in the calm waters near his Massachusetts home. Key Man Later during college he was a key man on the Harvard swim team, an expert on the backstroke. He also played Junior Varsity football as an undergraduate. During World War II he served as skipper of a PT boat in the enemy infested Solomon Islands. Suddenly one August morning his ship was cut in half by a Japanese destroyer. Although suffering from a severely wrenched back he was family is always a close knit group. Water Skiing Yachting, touchfootball and swimming rank among the families favorite sports. As our president he was fond of golf, and was always a spectator at the annual Army-Navy grid classic. He loved the traditional ceremony of throwing out the first pitch each April for the last three years, heralding the opening of baseball season. President Kennedy frequently was seen at the helm of the presidential yacht in the waters near his Hyannis Port home and the ocean off Palm Beach. Put Nation On Feet During his brief administration he set up a national council on physical fitness under the guidance of an Oklahoma University football coach. Several athletes held high administrative and judicial posts during his tenure as president. He constantly needled some of his less physically fit colleagues and put the nation on its feet again—with 50 mile hikes. This is the type of man the sports world will remember John Fitzgerald Kennedy as.

During World War II he served as skipper of a PT boat in the enemy infested Solomon Islands. Suddenly one August morning his ship was cut in half by a Japanese destroyer. Although suffering from a severely wrenched back he was able to re-untie all but two members of his crew and lead them to a nearby distant tropical island, all the while towing a wounded comrade by his teeth. Night after night he swam out to a nearby atoll to signal other PT Boats before his dramatic rescue by natives.

Mater Dei, fifth ranked in the Southland, absorbed a 34-0 defeat at the hands of Redlands Saturday night at the Orange Show Bowl in San Bernardino. It's ironic that the county's top ranked team should go down to the most decisive defeat in the playoffs. Coach Dick Coury's Monarchs were attempting a climb from playoffs, but the Terriers were too much. Redlands scored two touchdowns in the first and never looked back. Mater was joined by Santa Ana and Wakeleigh as Orange County survivor in the schools division. Santa Ana was belted Beach Poly 20-7 after Beach Wilson trampled minster 27-0.

Defensive play of both teams stymied their scoring machines until Magnolia got a sustained drive going midway in the third quarter. Magnolia meets Lawndale in the second round of CIF play next week. Lawndale upset favored Temple City 19-16 earlier. Cochrane was a key man in the first touchdown drive. He isolated his team 42 yards down to the Buena Park 22 racking up four first downs before the referee's whistle slowed him down. Two consecutive 15 yard penalties put the Sentinels back on their 48 yard line with first down 40 yards to go. But a determined Magnolia team wasn't to be denied. Before a roaring crowd of 8,000, Cochrane ran 11 yards round and on a keeper play, then crashed seven yards through the line. On the next play, Cochrane carried again rambling 13 on an end run to give the Sentinels fourth down 10 yards to go. Cochrane capped his fourth straight play by firing an 11 yard pass to end Bob Kogut. Four plays later, the shifty quarterback plowed over for a TD from six inches out to give Magnolia all the lead it needed. The kick was blocked and Magnolia led 6-0. Buena Park racked up one first down after receiving the kickoff following the touchdown — their only one of the second half — as a spirited Magnolia defensive squad dug in and held the Coyotes. The Sentinels got the ball on a fourth down punt and continued to eat up the yardage and the clock via the ground. On its second touchdown drive, half-back Richard Thompson ripped 41 yards around end to the Buena Park 35. With only 29 seconds remaining in the game, fullback Ron Oliver crashed through two yards for the score. Buena Park, in the game throughout the first half, could not get control of the ball in the second stanza, running only eight scrimmage plays and getting only one first down.

He collected 41 yards in his six carries which included a 16 yard dash across the goal zone. Drive Fails Quarterback Ken Jellerson then almost walked undisturbed into the end zone for the extra point. Half time saw the Matadors with a 7-0 lead. Early in the fourth quarter, the Rebels were able to plunge to the La Mirada 38-yard-line only to be stalled by downs and turn the ball over to the Matadors for their final scoring march. Jellerson uncorked two long bombs good for 19 and 32 yards to ends Cliff Hancock and Gene King respectively. Up until this point La Mirada had fired off only one aerial all night. With the completion of the 32 yard bomb the Matadors found themselves on the Rebel eight yard line. From there it took just two more plays for halfback Tom Failla to dive over from the one yard line. However, the extra point failed and the score was 13-0.

Colonist Richard Carillo, county lineman of the year, kicked a line drive through the uprights to tie the score 7-7. Anaheim exercised a ball control strategy during the second half but the going was perilous.

Ron had the best average on the club with teammates on the runways, hitting .341. With the bases empty — .212.
