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. Harry Chaffey, fulback, went

over from the 3 -yard stripe to score in the second period completing a 38-yard drive. A shovel pass from Hardy to Holpuch of Chaffey converted for the extra point. The Rams showed much more superior power in the line but were just not able to get moving. The fourth game was Claremont. Played at the Republic field. The Rams won their second game 18-0. The Rams first touchdown was made when a pass from Garcia to Gonzales was intercepted by Bill Larkin, Republic fullback, who scoot- ed fifty yards to score. The conversion was not completed. In the second half on the third down, Wesley Foreman, Rpm half, took the ball from quarterback Monte Somerset and went around end standing up to score the second touchdown. The second conversion was also incomplete. The third touch- down was made by Johnny Theobald, Ram Center, who in- tercepted one of Garcia ' s passes on the 42-yard line and went over for the third touchdown. There was no doubt that the Rams held the upper hand in the yardage gained. The Rams won their third game by plowing over the Em- erson Eagles, 14-0, at Pomona. The first quarter was evenly matched, as neither side scored, but in the second quarter, Grosvenor, Ram fullback, intercepted an Emerson pass on the Eagles 28-yard line and galloped to the Emerson 2 5 -yard stripe. Bill Larkin, quarter- back, went around right end to score standing up. Then Gros- venor took the ball around right to chalk up the extra point. The second touchdown was made by Garret Thompson, left end, who, on an end around reverse, penetrated the Eagle goal. Don Shelburne, Ram halfback, scored the con- version by receiving a pass from Monte Somerset. The Rams were able to keep the Eagles from striking inside their own 30-yard line. This was true throughout the game, showing the Rams ' superior defensive power. Leading the outstanding Ime charges were Ben Williams, John Theobald and Ben Savage, as Bill Larkin, Frank Grosvenor, Wesley Foreman, and Gar- ret Thompson carried the ball quite skillfully. The Rams lost their third game at the hands of Webb on our own field. Webb showed much more power in passing than the Rams, and made their first touchdov n on a pass. The conversion was good, making the score 7-0. The second touchdown was made by a Webb fullback, a 54-vard rim, oF right tackle. This made the .score 13-0.
