TI3'ig Bob Adams, burly 6-foot, 200-pound Canoga Park fullback~perfo~1ng in a manner reminiscent of another great L.A. City

power runnel' Hugh McElhenny, led his Canoga. Pa,14 k teammates tothe 1968 Los Angeles City Football Ch~\pionsh1p and by so doing

captured the hearts and the votes of the Helms Fo~mdat1o~ts City Boardof Football to be named UPlayer of the Year" in 1J08 Angales C1 ty feot­ball for the 1968 season.

Adams, in what must go down as one of the great ball carryingexhibitions in city playoff history, scored five touchdowns as herocked and rolled over Poly for 248 yards ~ 32 cprries o The Hunters'victory over Poly 341C12? gav'a Ctmoga Park its first ever grid champion­ship and a quite respect!ble lO-l~l record for the year. Coach Mathie­son's Hunters actually finished second to Cleveland in West-ValleyLoop play during the year (lost 33-14 in leaguG title decider), butcame back strong in the playoffs.

Canoga Park, with Adams and running mate Greg Done accountingfor most of the damage (these boys ran off with 2,800 yards during theyear between them), took care of Western League champion Westchester,27-6; Marine Loop titlist and undefeated Gardana, 7-6; Southern Leagueco-champ and undefeated Manual Arts, 14-13; and finally Poly in theplayo.ff finale.

The selection of the 1968 All-Los Angeles City grid team sawthree units selected on both offense and defense for the first timein board history. Last year, the city board changed its format toinclude both offensive and defensive units ••• two teams for each•••butwith so much talent available to the selectors the board felt thatthree units of both offense and defense would be advisable.

For the second year, Poly's Eric Shirley was named to the all­star squad as a kicker. Manfred Moore, on last year's first defensiveunit, was a first team offense pick from San Fernando. Dennis stewartof Poly and Tom Griswold of Westchester, named to this season's firstdefensive unit, were second team defense picks last year o
