FCOTBALL SURVEY October 26, 1940 Doubtful local fans were happy when the spirited Buffaloes came out on top of a 12 to 0 tally in their fearful encounter with the undefeated Pittsburg Pir- ates. The locals really shined on the defense as they time after time tossed the Pirate backs for losses and held them to the Manteca 40-yard line. When Pittsburg fumbled the opening kickoff, Lynch smashingly recov- ered the ball on the 6-yard line, and Crivello scored on the fourth play from the 1-yard line. The clash was all Manteca's, and the Herd threatened to score several times and repeatedly had the Pirates fighting from within the S-yard line. A short pass, Bronzan to Rid- ley, in the third quarter, ended the Buffaloes' scoring. ::'November 1, 1940 In Tracy for the traditional Big Game, the Green Herd gathered momentum slowly, but around half time they began their final 26 to 0 score. The ball car- riers brilliantly showed their stuff in three departments. Poulos, smashing the line, scored first. Then Baturin, cornered, reversed the field tdo t-distance all pursuing Bulldogs. The pass of theiyearg V t brought the crowd up fast was a beautiful OX-yxdf rifle to Willson on the 2-yard line.

High-light of the game was a quick- kick return by Willson, who with teammates clearing the obstacles, dashed 64 yards to score. In the final quarter the Green Herd, riddled with promising subs, showed their worth by holding the Tigers for four plays on the S-yard line. ::'November 15, 1940 Up to the hills for the final game, a league affair with Sonora, the Buffaloes were temporarily bogged down in the irrigated alfalfa patch, but events took place rapid- ly in the second half and led to a Manteca victory of 20 to 6. The locals had just scored, when Sonora took the kick-off and tore through to even the score and to pull the two thousand fans to their feet. The maddened Beefers drove down again to score, and later Willsoni crashed around end to complete the scoring. , :i'l.eague K' ie. xgx 1 xox D. Klinger, J. Poulos, H. Pedersnfi, I.. Piccinini, XV. .
