A warm clay in the big bowl. October 9th against old jaysee stars of the alumni squad, the Earlemen and the t'Old Menu tied 0-0 in a tightly- played game. Modesto again staged a third-quarter drive, this time through the efforts of Worlin Gray, Peregoy, and Neeley, but the attack bogged down on the 4-yard line. Morris Mano- ogian failed on a place kick three min- utes before the end of the game. In the third game of the season, notice was given of a new backfield star, Bounding Billv Irvin at quarter, who piloted the squad to a 13-6 victory over Santa Rosa on the northern city's field. Santa Rosa scored first, in the second quarter, on a pass from the 7- yard stripe. Irvin retaliated with his first drive after Deward Tornell, Mo- desto tackle, recovered a Bear fumble. Wlieim Manoogian intercepted a Rosan pass, the blond quarter promptly took the occasion to add another pay dirt dash to sew up the contest. Like other Modesto adversaries in later games, the Bears unleashed a last- quarter passing attack, which was han- dily broken up by the Pirate secondary. Murphy converted one out of two kicks after touchdown. The blocking of Harry Carlson, Manoogian, and Gray drew praise for the masterly way they cleared the path for Irvin. On Friday, October 16, Modesto won an easy victory from Menlo Junior College. Arden Irey's long kickoif was fumbled, Modesto recovered deep in Menlo territory. Irvin went through tackle on the first play of the game, giving a warning of what was to follow. The game was Modesto's throughout. Menlo threatened only in the third quarter, when they moved to the Blue and White 8-yard stripe. Modesto's Peregoy booms off-tackle against San Mateo . . The Pirates in scoring position on Stanforcl's gridiron.

Bob Norman, Mose Neeley, and Peregoy alternated in packing the ball. Peregoy bucked it over. Harold Murphy's place-kick was wide. Displaying their famed attack in the second half, San Mateo, aided by a 15 -yard penalty, sent Fred Ledeboer, quarterback, plunging through tackle for the lone Bulldog score. Then came the highlight, the play that virtually gave Modesto the cham- pionship. Catching a long Mateo punt, speedy Peregoy dashed down the field, sprang into the clear behind beautiful block- ing, and twisted his way to the 6-yard line. Four plays later he went over. Murphy kicked the extra point. The title was in the bag. Grimly hanging on to their 7-point lead, the Pirates played steady ball the few minutes, breaking up their oppon- ents passing attack. In the final min- utes, Center Bob Bronzan tucked the Fleety Peregoy momentarily shakes loose from Mateo's Bulldogs. ball, symbol of their long-hoped-for achievement, under his arm to preserve it for posterity. Now for a review of the games which seasoned the Earlemen: The opener was played October 2 at Palo Alto, where a strong Stanford freshman team eked out a 6-0 win over the locals. Except for a second-quar- ter pass, the squad fought the Stanford- ites to a standstill. In the third quarter of the game, Captain Neeley and Glenn Zinser powered the ball to che 1-foot line.
