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. Starting rhe season slowly, the Buffaloes later found Frau! run W' Reiger I Israel I Piccin' A P V'rr1 A C' their oats and defeated the strong and well known squads from Modesto, Los Banos, Sonora, and even Pittsburg, which had defeated Stockton and squads from the Bay region.

FOOTBALL SURVEY C Much praise is due Mr. Stanley Hawkins for the special job of training the B's,' and for his assistance during the big game, and George Dadasovich, '39 squad member, for his help in molding the linesmen into good blockers, thus making a steadier defense. ::'September 20, 1940 Manteeays annual season-opener with the Modesto Panthers found the Buffalo squad in hot water quite soon in the game in the Junior College stadium, but a deadly series of line attacks netted the locals' only touchdown to even the tally. Captain Bronzan's de- ciding place kick was good and gave Manteca a slim 7 to 6 victory which made it the Green-and-Whites' fourth straight win over the Panthers. September 27, 1940 Substituting for a scheduled Livermore team, Sacra- mento's Christian Brothers' team was the next oppo- nent to fall before the steady driving of the Thunder- ing Herd on Pennebaker Field. Crivello, speedy and rugged halfback, did some fancy hoofing on the Hrst play in the second half when he scored on an end run to make the final Count 18 to 0. The local eleven show- ed a great deal of improvement over the Modesto con- test in blocking and in defense of line and pass plays. ::'October 4, 1940 Again on the home turf he Buffaloes ran wild as they murdered the Stockton Vocational High Schoolers to the tune of 33 to 0 in the locals, first league affair. The large yardage gained by the Mantecans, especially a 94-yard drive in six plays to score, proved the strength of the Buffalo plungers. :i'October 11, 1940 A stubborn Bulldog squad from Ceres on Manteca's gridiron held the surprised Beef Boys scoreless for three quarters, but in the Hnal five minutes the locals found their oats to drive 70 yards and make the final score 6 to 0. Play of the evening occurred in the closing mo- ments when 19S-pounder john Poulos broke through the Bulldogs to gallop 65 yards to their 14 before he was dragged down. The gun sounding seconds later ended further scoring attempts. :i'October 18, 1940 One of the Thundering Herd's oldest rivals, the Oak- dale Mustangs, became the highest scorer of the three squads to cross the Buffaloes' goal line in the free-for-all tussle on the local turf. The Buffaloes soon overcame a 6-point lead by run- ning up 14 points at half time, and scoring twice later, defeated the Mustangs by a 27 to 18 tally. Oakdale's second touchdown came after an intercepted pass. :'League game. G. Bale, N. roc nan, L. N Q urin. A. Cardoza, S. Crivello, -I. Gonsalves, bl. Israel.
