COACHES Larry Siemering and Stan Hawkins 4 FOOTBALL SURVEY Although starting the 1940 season with four return- ing lettermen and members from the varsity bench and B squad, Coach Larry Siemering trained diligently and developed them into a strong offensive unit which went through its nine-game schedule undefeated, equaling the record set by the champion '39 eleven. This season's triumph gives to Manteca High the Modesto Sub-League trophy for three consecutive league titles and gives Mr. Siemering his second unde- feated and untied Buffalo team. XVhat the Thundering Herd lacked in experience was made up by their weight. The squad average was 171 pounds, making it one of the heaviest groups Man- teca has taken to battle.
