Roses Are White Sports Pirate defenders For Our County JC’s It’s W By DAVE DISTEL It said 21-0 on the blackboard. It said victory on the faces of a jubilant Orange Coast College football team. “We’re number one,” the blackboard boldly declared. Saturday afternoon the Pirates proved they are number one in the nation and riddled all skepticism about the strength of the Eastern Conference. After Santa Ana beat Columbia Basin 20-0 last year there was still some doubt about the EC but the Pirates erased that Saturday afternoon. “The Eastern Conference should sign a pact and go every year,” beamed a happy coach Dick Tucker. With his eight-year-old son Travis at his heels, Tucker guided the Pirates to the greatest victory in the school’s history. “It’s the greatest.” Tucker exclaimed on the sidelines immediately after the game. “I knew we could score but I thought they would score too.” Tucker's game plan payed off. He likes the defense to get throughout the contest. North-east moved for two quick first downs the first time it got the ball, but the Pirates closed the gaps and held. White Calls Shots “Ken Madison played a heluva a game,” Tucker praised. “We played our finest defensive game.” Tucker was pleased with the quarterbacking of player of the game Billy White and Larry Jones. White's passing was no surprise to Tucker or anyone else connected with OCC. “He passed well all year,” Tucker said. Jones threw only one pass but it went for a touchdown to Mike Hunter in the fourth period. “I called fewer plays than I have called all season.” Tucker said. White called most of the plays from the field, keeping the Pirate offense on the move. Tucker said he was more nervous before the game than he had been all year. He said he was nervous before the Mt. San Antonio game for the EC crown, but said it didn’t compare with the feeling as the television cameras focused on the Pirates during pre-game introductions. Giant Little Man Tucker revealed that during the week before the game there was guarded worry about whether or not starting backs Bob Haynes and Joe Scott would be able to play. Haynes was bothered by his injured ribs and spent much of Saturday's game on the sidelines. White, a modest player of Dodger's Top Draw Of the 11,382,227 fans who saw National League baseball last season, 4,173,444 saw the Dodgers in their pennant pursuit. That was the Dodgers' season total 2,538,602 at home and "It's the greatest." Tucker exclaimed on the sidelines immediately after the game. "I knew we could score but I thought they would score too." Tucker's game plan payed off. He likes the defense to get field position so the offense can take it in. Orange Coast took the kick off and marched 79 yards, missing paydirt by one yard. Tucker said he was disappointed the Pirates didn't score, but the drive established field position and set up Orange Coast's eventual first score. Tucker said Orange Coast stayed with the pre-game plans. Dodger's Top Draw Of the 11,382,227 fans who saw National League baseball last season, 4,173,444 saw the Dodgers in their pennant pursuit. That was the Dodgers' season total 2,538,602 at home and 1,634,842 on the road. Dodgers were top draw among bishers to Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and San Francisco.

Carr was all alone, but the pass was a little off the mark. “I wish I had hit that guy.” White said as he shook his head. White, adding to EC prestige, said he thinks Fullerton could have stopped North-east Oklahoma. “Fullerton has a heck of a defense,” Billy said. Although Billy was quiet about his own accomplishments, it was no secret who was the game’s hero. He was mobbed for autographs after the game, often by youngsters taller than he is at 5-4. Weaving Touchdown Newsmen crowded around White in the dressing room as he stood on a bench to politely answer their questions. It was White’s passing that guided Orange Coast to its first touchdown in the second period. He passed over Northeast safety Andy Sixkiller to Phil Spiller for 33 yards to set up the score. It was a 31 yard aerial to Gary Carr that netted the touchdown.

Coury's Mater Dei team won the Angelus League title with a 9-0 record before bowing to Redlands in the CIF playoffs. Pendleton guided Los Angeles to the Southern League championship and the city championship game before losing. Pendleton lives in Anaheim so the two coaches can easily get together to plan for the game. Coury said he and Pendleton met last night. The two coaches talked by phone earlier when it appeared they would get the jobs. Pendleton, who commutes from Anaheim to Los Angeles High every day, is a native of San Francisco. Pendleton's Romans were undefeated in league play in Los Angeles, averaging four touchdowns a game.
