FOOTBHll A' r '00. MCCLYMONDS O, ROOSEVELT 13: This battle, in which the Warriors received four injuries, was fought on Fremont's grid- iron. Ralph Mack, co-captain, left the game of his own tree will because of a back injury. His toss greatly decreased the Red- skin's Chances. The game was marred by fumbles on both Sides. The Braves' best yardage gainer was a pass play of John Hohngren, halfback, to Peter Srsen, end. MCCLYMONDS 0, SAN LEANDRO 6: McClymonds' qridders were upset by San Leandro's Pirates on the Warriors' home grounds. The Frank Paich-to-Henry Ukai pass combination threatened to tally six points for the Redskins in the last few plays of the game, when McClymonds, in three downs, carried the pigskin 50 yards to the Cherrypickers' tive-yard stripe. Then, with but enough time left to finish the last play, Paich took the ball and started a run around right end. When he saw his path blocked, he threw a pass to Mack, who made a sensational catch of a wildly thrown ball and fell over the goal line. How- ever, Paich was not five yards behind the scrimmage line; there fore, the pass was nullified by the referee. MCCLYMONDS 0, CASTLEMONT 6: The Warriors lost, but outplayed the Castlernont squad from start to finish. It looked like the Braves would score in the first quarter when the McCly- monds second string was replaced by the first string and com- menced to take the ball down into the Castle territory. How- ever, when the ball was on the two-foot line, the second string replaced the first and lost the ball on downs. The Knights made their score after the Braves' safety man dropped a punt and it was recovered by a Castle star. The first play on end around scored for the Crusaders. Individuals, top to bottom: Edward Driskell, Marcellus Harrison, John Holm- qren, Tony Lizarraqa, and Ralph Mack, Km! co-captain.
