Arboit, who brings a good record with him from Spaulding Institute in Peoria, Illinois, is expected to aid the Saint cause considerably in 1952. 140

PIESHI STUHY Carnival-Sainfs, l2,' .llf. Cnrnzef, 7. The third play of the 'gl season showed that the Saints were to be a high-powered team. fjllffllfll .lim lllnntellino went into the end zone from six yards out for the first score. Lrzniluvrf kicked wide. After a Crusader score, Ifrnnnen zoomed in from the six for the final score. Longa' placement was wide. SlIt'1ll'4'I' and .lim lXYIU.Vfl'I'll1lIlI looked sharp, as did QB tilIf1ff1ll'7C'X. Srzinrx, IS: Santa ,llrzrim U. 'lihe egg diet and the long trip didn't slow the men from the South down. Xvorking from behind ljllfflllflfih' double-spin, Hrrulznvz chalked up two and jllllllftflfllfl, one. The Saint de- fensive unit was Tflllffll never allowing Santa Maria to cross midfield. Redd swarked the defense. .Vine I' Y If I Oreb, 11'lIt'lI'IWllIIf, Nrl.von and Lnny kept springing the Saint backs loose with their vicious blocking. Sriintx, 7: I.ifIlI1f7fUlI, l.9. It was a cold, cold night for all loyal Saint fans as the fleet Saint backs were not given the blocking and could not crack the Compton defense. The Saints from Compton, Jim Kloxiwr- lllllll, Simon and Srliifz, were knocked down hard by the big 'liartar forwards. Brnnmwi made the lone score and illzlrrlzixon converted. Sllt'flI't'I' scampered 60 yards for a TD which was nullified by a penalty. IJVSITIINI was the outstanding player offensively and defensively for the Saints. Un the line lllffaiiylz, Rainey and Lopnlifn were tops offensively, and Lnfnlzerf, Flynn and Callfnzi were strong defensively. Saint, ,Wg f,lrl11f'Il'c'H, 6.

Nelson scooped up a Cardinal fumble and in Crnzfli Jrlmif fashion raced 01 yards for a score. Shearer romped 18 yards up the middle on a Hint- flu'1vx' hand-off for the last score. .lIurrhi.ron converted three times. Dunn, Carroll and Zlfilwf Oreb were the sharpest of the very sharp forward wall. Sninfx, 12: Uilziltier, I-1. Inspired play by IJf'SllIlfU and a7IIlIlIfl'Hi1I0 was not enough to beat the Redbirds. 1:'z'anm'n drew first blood on a seven-yard off-tackle smash and a 'fum 1XYf'IXfl'I'llIl17l to jllllllffufllfl aerial to the two-yard line set up fllnnle!lino'x score. Wlhittier blocked one and deflected the other of l7lIllI'l'lIf.V0I1'.S' at- tempted conversions. Sninfx, 27: lf.w'w.vlirn', 7.

He scored on the next play. lDl'Sll71fll scored before the half on a short jaunt around end.
