GEORGE DURCHSLAG AORIAN MANZANO CHARLIE POLOMO Newcomers to the varsity ranks included goalie George Durchslag, fullback Armando Molina, halfbacks Lionel Fisher, Bob Kellerman and Charlie Polomo, and wing Pete Wolf. Held to a 1-1 tie by CCSF in the season opener, the Hilltop Horde rolled over its next four opponents—SF State, California, Santa Clara and Stanford, to lead the conference at the close of first round play. The Dons continued their winning ways in the second round, except against perennial jinx Stanford, which held the Green Gold varsity to a scoreless tie. Late in November, the USFers traveled to Los Angeles and promptly overpowered Cal Tech and UCLA, and then returned North to beat the Conference All Stars for the sixth straight year. Seven Dons—goalies Cox and Durchslag, halfbacks Kellerman, Beattie and Manzano, right wing Ortiz, and inside right Pike—were All Conference First Team selections. It was the second such honor for Cox, Beattie and Pike, and the third for Ortiz. Joe Ignoffo was a Second Team choice and Mashood Danmole made Honorable Mention. The USF Junior Varsity also took their conference title, with a 5-0-1 record. Backfielders Bob Braghetta, Ed Aubert, Joe Brady, Tom Klitgaard, John Murray, Rouben Tchakalian and Bill Kelley teamed with front-liners Walt Ermakoff, Jose Escudero, Livio Falconi, Emil Gabriel, Jose Gonzalez, Charles Jezycki, Carlos Lacayo, Henry Melendrez and Alex Thorson, to form a well-balanced team which will contribute many players to next year’s varsity.

ALL AMERICANS BILL COX AND MANNY ORTIZ Climaxing brilliant four-year soccer careers, USF’s Bill Cox and Manny Ortiz were named by the Selection Cbmmittee of the National Soccer Coaches’ Association to the 1953 All-America First Team. This was a fitting honor for two men who have been instrumental in making USF the outstanding soccer power in the West. Both Cox and Ortiz won varsity letters during the past four seasons, and both made a habit of winning All-Conference laurels: Ortiz three times Cox twice. Each had the added distinction of contributing greatly to the Dons’ streak of 56 games without defeat in conference play. Neither Bill nor Manny have played in a losing game against a league opponent. Manny Ortiz sparked Hilltop elevens at halfback, and this past season led a potent Don offense from his right wing position. Opposing players and coaches were unanimous in their acclaim of the 28-year-old senior from Mexico City. Goalie Bill Cox proved himself a net-tender par excellent last season, when he allowed only one goal in ten conference games. The blond senior from San Francisco continued in impressive fashion this campaign, combining excellent leadership and playing ability. Along with Brian Pike, the Don’s stellar inside right who was chosen Honorable Mention All-America this year, Bill Cox and Manny Ortiz join Don All-Americans Nego-esco, Lee, Matute, Diaz and Osibogun in the USF Soccer Hall of Fame.
