Prairie Ave. (near W. 129th St.) 310.676-5444 Beathard from page 5 Keith Erickson from page 5 MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Erickson, who was a standout athlete for the Eagles, graduated in 1961. He was a standout shortstop for John Stevenson on the baseball team, one of the South Bay’s best basketball players, an avid tennis player who was good enough to play professionally, a scratch handicap golfer and played on the 1964 U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team. Erickson is widely considered at the top of the list when considering El Segundo’s greatest athlete…………..ever. After high school Erickson played basketball and baseball at El Camino College for one year before getting a shared scholarship, in both sports, to attend UCLA. In the summer before going to UCLA the dual sport standout was still playing American Legion baseball. He made the most of what would become his last stint playing organized baseball. Erickson went 12-for-12 in three games including hitting a homerun that bounced off the top of the building in centerfield at what is now known as Stevenson Field. A three-year lettermen at UCLA, Erickson led the Bruins to their first two NCAA basketball titles in 1964 and 1965. He was described by legendary head coach John Wooden, as the “Finest athlete,” he had ever coached. Erickson averaged 9.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in 87 career games as a three-year starting forward for the Bruins who played in the Athletic Association of Western Universities or the AAWU conference that would later be named the Pacific-8 Conference in 1968. Erickson competed in 29 of 30 games during the 1964-65 college season, averaging 12.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game that year. He helped UCLA post a 28-2 overall record en route to winning the NCAA Championship and was named to the All-America team. As a junior in 1963-64, Erickson registered 10.7 points and a team-leading 9.1 rebounds per game in all 30 contests. UCLA went 30-0 that season before winning its firstever men’s basketball NCAA title. In that game championship game Erickson, who had scored 28 points in the semi-final game against Kansas State, fouled out late against Duke in the finals. As a 12-year NBA veteran, Erickson played for the San Francisco Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. In all, he played in 766 NBA games, scoring 7,251 points and totaling 3,448 rebounds. He was drafted in the third round by the San Francisco Warriors (now the Golden State Warriors) in the 1965 draft, made his debut against the Lakers and scored seven points. He helped the Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA title in 1972 and that 1972 team is still regarded as one of the NBA’s greatest teams of all time. Thinking back to some of Erickson’s former NBA and college teammates you could put together one heck of a team that would include; Walt Hazzard, Gail Goodrich, Nate Thurman, Rick Berry, Jerry Sloan, Connie Hawkins, Elgin Baylor, Pat Riley, Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West. Other than Hazzard the rest of them have all been inducted into basketball’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame For Erickson this will be the third time being honored into a Hall of Fame that includes the El Segundo High School Hall of Fame as well as being inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986. • 1963 Rose Bowl game which USC won, 42–37. In 1964 Beathard was drafted fifth overall by the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL) and the second overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League (AFL). Beathard is believed to be the only player to be selected in the first round of both leagues in the same year. He signed with the Chiefs to be the back up to future Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson. The Chiefs faced the Green Bay Packers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 15, 1967, in the first Super Bowl. Officially, it was called the AFL-NFL World Championship, having been dubbed the First Super Bowl, or Super Bowl I, at a later date. Attended by 61,946 football fans, it is the only Super Bowl on record that was not sold out. The Packers, behind Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr, defeated the Chiefs 35-10 on that cool afternoon. Pete Beathard got into the game and completed 1 of 5 passing attempts for 17 yards and rushed once for 14 yards. With Beathard’s participation El Segundo high school earned one of the NFL’s Golden Footballs. Two other former Eagles have ties to a Super Bowl that include Pete’s brother Bobby Beathard and Joe Caravello. Bobby Beathard worked with the Kansas City Chiefs as a scout of that fist Super Bowl and won Super Bowl rings with the Miami Dolphins as director of player personnel. In 1978, the Washington Redskins named Pete Beathard played in Super Bowl I. Beathard general manager. During his tenure in Washington, Beathard helped lead the Redskins to three Super Bowls and two championships. He was the General Manager of the Chargers when they advanced to the Super Bowl. Joe Caravello was a member of the 1988 Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins and has a ring. Though he played for the Redskins during the season he was not on the roster for the Super Bowl. Current head El Segundo football coach Steve Shevlin accepted the prestigious Golden Football from the NFL and the ball is on display at the high school. • The NFL’s Golden Football is on display in the El Segundo high school trophy case. “A Taste of Brooklyn” EL SEGUNDO 150 S Sepulveda Blvd. 310-426-9494 MANHATTAN BEACH 976 Aviation Blvd. 310-318-5959 Now Open Sundays Ample Seating DELIVERY IN LIMITED AREA AT BOTH LOCATIONS bakery – imported groceries italy – argentina – mexico – peru & other latin countries BEEF (ONION, OLIVES, EGG, BELL PEPPERS) SPICY BEEF (ONION, BELL PEPPERS, CHILE HABANERO) CHICKEN (ONION, BELL PEPPERS) SPINACH (ONION, MOZZARELLA CHEESE, BECHAMEL SAUCE) POMO (TOMATO, BASIL, MOZZARELLA CHEESE) PEPPERONI (PEPPERONI, MARINARA SAUCE, MOZZARELLA CHEESE) CONTINENTALGOURMETMARKET.COM
