Our new coach, ,lim Fairchild, and three weeks of rigorous training readied 4-3 eager footballers for their first encounter, the Calistoga Wildcats. Against the Wildcats, fleet-footed Wayne Pyzer intercepted a pass and raced 65 yards for our first touchdown. Delaney Nutt carried the ball over for our final touchdown. Already our outstanding line was showing its power: and Tom Renfro, Henry Marschall, and Bob Moranda were standouts in that line performance. Game score: CLUH 19, Calistoga 7. For our first home game Cloverdale brought a squad lacking in reserve strength. Coach Fairchild cleared the bench as Lakeport's team rolled up 46 points to Cloverdale's 0. Harry Whitlock scored twice and kicked four conversions. Also sharing in touchdown honors were John Goodwin, Gordon Nutt, Delaney Nutt, Donn Marschall, and Cliff Eaton. Whitewashing the St. Helena Saints 45 to 0, the Cards were terrific both on offense and defense. Leading the scoring parade was Delaney Nutt, Wayne Pyzer, Donn Marschall, and Deake Lyndall. Whitlock's educated toe kicked up three more conversion points. League play opened against Willits High. Meeting a bigger squad, and one with, unorthodox formations, the Cards had to register a hard, determined effort to emerge the victor. The 14--6 score conceals the tremendous yardage the Cards had to pile up to overcome game breaks against them. Pyzer and Eaton divided touchdown honors for CLUH. The Kelseyville lndians, playing their first ll-man game, brought a hard-playing team to battle the Cards. Experience and hard play won out for CLUH, 25-6. Our game of the season was the battle for the championship with Fort Bragg, who we had never before beaten. On a sloppy field, Delaney Nutt scored three touchdowns, and Pyzer scored one. ln the 27-0 victory, the entire line did their best job of the year. This game also marked some outstanding defensive backfield play by Goodwin, Eaton, and Whitlock. With the Championship settled, the Cards put their undefeated season record on the block in a post season game with the also undefeated Berkeley Sophomores, who were surprised and dismayed at their first loss-33-0. And so the best football season for CLUH came to an end. Playing their final game were seniors Marcus Anderson, Cliff Eaton, Deake Lyndall, Donn Marschall, Delaney Nutt, Tom Renfro, and Harry Whitlock.
