The Phoenix College Bears started the 1968 football season with sixteen returning lettermen. The squad started with seventy-four prospects but was cut to forty-seven before the first game. This year, the football schedule offered five home and four away games. The Bears lost their opening game 35-36 to Santa Monica. lt was a bitter, hardfought, contest with the Corsairs managing to win in the fourth quarter with a final touchdown. Numerous problems with the sec- ondary defense contributed to the Bear's loss. McCann scored in the first quarter for the Bears. Joe and Moody Jackson both scored in the second. Hurguy intercepted a pass and crossed the goal line for another P.C. tally in the third with McCann scoring on a fifteen yard pass in the fourth to round out the evening. Joe Jackson tied Frank Bernal's record for times carrying the ball in a single game with thirty-five attempts. The night of September twenty-ninth the Bears hosted Laney College of Oakland, California and dedicated P.C.'s new stadium. The stadium was dedicated to Coach Dutch Hoy. Coach Hoy was a member of the P.C. faculty from 1929 to 1966. The Bears displayed exceptionally bad manners for a host and downed Laney 52-20. The defensive secondary showed improvement and permitted Laney only nine completions in thirty pass attempts. Mike Clark started the P.C. offense rolling with a touchdown from a 2 yard run in the first quarter. Early in the second, Moody Jackson scored from a ten yard run. Joe Jackson received a pass for another and then ran one across before the quarter ended. Moody struck again in the third on a fifteen yard pass from Simmons. Not to be outdone by Joe, Moody then returned a punt 79 yards for another touchdown. Dan Torzala booted a 20 yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and Dan White scored the Bears' last touchdown on a 15 yard run. Pete Doherty, starting his first game with the Bears, intercepted two Laney P.C. DRQPS OPENER 35-36 BEATS LANEY 52-20 passes.
