From here it probably passed the Martinez adobe about one-half mile farther and joined about two miles farther with the 1870 survey. The survey was the Butterfield road with the curves eliminated and was used until after 1900. It then fol- lowed near this 1870 survey skirting the south side of San Jose hills and north of the present Pomona Boulevard until past Puente, where it went approximately one-half mile north of Pomona Boulevard, near an old ruin about where Puente High School now stands, from which it followed a fairly di- rect line to San Gabriel River crossing about the same place as the present bridge. From here the present boulevard, as far as Savanna, agrees exactly with the old road. The Mexican war in California began with the battle of Chino, believed by many to have been fought at the site of the present California Junior Republic Dairy. Thirty-six white men (Californians) were in that battle badly outnum- bered by Mexicans.

i -iii V .-ft C — fi i r ii The 1 94 1 football season came to a close on December 20th. The Varsity team did quite well this season by winning five games and losing five. There were sixteen Varsity grid- ders along with their manager who received football letters. Letters were awarded at the annual Christmas party. The fol- lowing players received their letters for the first time, Oliver Boyd, Roger Weston, Monte Somerset, Rolland Largent, Bill Nufer, Warren Cleeland, Garret Thompson, Ben Williams, Frank Williams, Ralph Young, Bob Middleton, and manager Henry Deauville. There were five who received their letters for the second time. They were Ben Savage, John Theobald, Bill Larkin, Wesley Foreman and Neil Woods. Donald Shelburne receive his letter for the third time and also received a star for co-captaincy along with Ben Wil- liams. The Republic Varsity traveled over to Bonita to win their first game over a smaller team. The Rams took advantage of Bonita ' s weak line and pounded out a 7-0 victory. Monte Somerset started the ball rolling by carrying the pigskin around end for a 25 yard jaunt. Bonita ' s goal line was pierced by Bill Larkin, local fullback, from the 13 yard stripe. Don Shelburne, Ram half, took a pass from Larkin to score the extra point. The Rams again traveled away from their own field to visit the Chino Cowboys on their own field. The Rams took their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Cowboys to the tune of 27-0. Chino made their first touchdown by a pass from Schultz to Bare. Just before the half Leon George charged over left guard from the 5 yard line to score as the gun sounded ending the half leaving the score 12-0. Again a pass from Schultz to Bare scored a touchdown. A pass from Schultz to Somers for the conversion made the score 19-0. Schultz made the fourth touchdown by an end run. Later in the third quarter Chino recovered a fumble be- hind the Ram ' s goal line to chalk up two more points. The most exciting moment of the game for the Rams was when John Theobald, Ram center, ran a Chino punt back for 60 yards. All through the game Chino was unable to dent the Ram ' s line showing that the Rams had a tight defense in the line. Attempting a second win, the Rams were nosed out by ChafFey 7-0 on our own field.
