L!J wenty-six Southern California high schools, which help make up the largeschools (AAAA-AAA) section of the C.l.F., are represented on this yeartsAll-Southern California large Schools Football Team for the 1960 season o

The Helms All-Southern California Board of Athletics, composed of sports journal-ists from Santa Barbara to San Diego, select the All-Southern California HighSchool football teams, and have done so since the board's iriception back in 19370

There was much discussion among board members before an All-SouthernCalifornia prep school "player of the yearn was selected. Finally, the board n.a:rc.edJim Murphy, center-lin'ebacker of the AAAA champion Santa Barbara eleven, as the topperformer in major ClF ranks this past year. The selection of Murphy marks OI1~y

the second time in the history of the Helms selections that a lineman has beenpicked as "player of the year". San Diego High's Charlie Powell, an end, was theboard's selection back in 1950.

Coach Sam Cathcart, former long Beach, Santa Barbara College and SanFrancisco 4gers gridiron performer, calls Murphy the finest football player we'vehad at Santa Barbara. This, of course, takes in performers like Peter Zucco,"player of the yearn in 1940 and Ernie Zampese, University of Southern Californiastar, who was top CIF player pick in 1953. Murphy, not an imposing physicalspeciman at 5'10" and 175-pounds, is described as a "terror" on the field. To listMurphy over such a proven star as Marv Goux, who went on to star at USC, showswhat Santa Barbarans think of Jim Murphy. Jim served as team captain in 1960 andled the Dons to the AAAA Championship of the ClF, with a 19-6 win over Centennialin the finals.

Jim Murphy will receive his "player of the year" medal award at the 24thannual All-Southern California Board of Football Awards Program to be held at HeimsHall on Saturday morning, January 14, at 10:30 a.m. All players named for A1l-St~r·

team honors, both large and small elF as well as Los Angeles City section selec­tions, will be presented with framed scroll awards from All-Southern CaliforniaBoard of Athletics. Murphy will also have his name engraved upon the Paul H. HelmsTrophy, which is permanently lodged in Helms Hall, Los Angeles.

As might be suspected, Santa Barbara. led the parade in placing men on thehonor teams. Rod Dowhower, 6'2", 210-pound senior quarterback who operated SamCathcart's offense to perfection, was named in the backfield on the first teai'D.,!'while end Gary Hart made the third squad. Eight schools, including runner-up Cen­tennial, placed two players on the teams.

Escondido, San Diego area champion, placed its fine quarterback Doug Ben....nett on the first team. He completed 98 of 155 passes for 1,577 yards and 17 TDsduring an 11 game season. Centennial's QB Larry Todd, top performer for Aaron\iade I s Coast League champions made the first eleven, as did long Beach Wilson 1 sBob Bailey, who amassed 1,003 total yards in eight games. Riverside's fullbackBob Horacek, fine all-around performer, made the top eleven, also. All playersnamed to this season's first team are seniors.

Two players from last year's AII-CIF teams are back this year. Ron Gold....man, Monrovia guard on the second team in 1959, was picked on the first team thi:::season. Warren Jackson of Santa Ana, a second-team back in '59, repeated in hisposition this fall.

Along with the top players of 1960, CIF championship coaches will receivespecial awards. Sam Cathcart (Santa Barbara), Robert Embrey (Escondido), ErnieJohnson (El Rancho) and those small ClF high school coaches who won titles, vJjJ.lbe remembered with awards.
