The “Golden Knights” of St. Francis acquired a new coach for the '51 campaign in the person of likeable John Pacheco, who not only taught his team how to play rock and sock football, but most important of all, Sports- manship, on and off the playing field. St. Francis compiled a 4-4 record during the season with impressive wins over “Mary, Star of the Sea,” Notre Dame,” Mission,” and Cantwell.

ST. AGNES 12-18 Once again Lady Luck forgot to smile on the luckless St. Francis squad as they were edged by their biggest rival, St. Agnes, on a light yard aerial with only seconds remaining. Lovejoy and Pullara tallied for the Knights. PULLARA SKIRTS END BEHIND BLOCKING OF FLAATEN AND RYAN ST. JOSEPH 6-13 St. Joseph s, grid champs of the C. C. for the second straight year, valiantly stood off a second half surge by the Flintridge eleven to grab a hard earned 13-6 victory in the league opener. PULLARA MET BY ONCHARGING POMONA LINEMEN MISSION 32-6 The St. Francis grid machine shifted into high gear against the Mission Pioneers by routing them to the tune of 32-6 in registering their only Confer- ence win with Pullara and Lovejoy spearheading the attack.
