LET'S SHOW EM THAT WE'RE NEVER LICKEDl DICK TUCKER VARSITY SEASON ALBANY Berkeley High opened its league season with a dull 7-0 win over Albany. In the first half the Jackets showed their superiority by driving three times deep into Cougar territory. The third march was successful and resulted in the only touchdown of the game. In the second half the Berkeley play became ragged and the Cougars came within one foot of paydirt. The threat ended when Frank Yeiser safely kicked out of the hole. HAYWARD In the most thrilling game of the season the Jackets crushed Hayward 13-6. By means of a de- ceptive passing attack, the Farmers managed to score a touchdown in the second quarter. In the second half, however, the reserves, led by halfback Johnnie Loper, powered from the Farmers' 48 down the field to a touchdown. Russ Lowell's place-kick was wide and the score stood—Berkeley 6, Hayward 6. In the game's final minutes, a Hayward pass was intercepted on the 31 by Charlie Bishop. After several unsuccessful plays, Frank Yeiser faded back and threw a beautiful long pass to Don Barksdale in the end-zone, making the score 12-6 and winning the ball game. The Jacket Machine was on the march! TOP: ElUfion, behind Yeiier'i blocking, plunget through St. Mary' lino. BOTTOM: The Heyward Former hold Johnnie Loper tor no gain. PIEDMONT We are not going to say much about this game for it is one of those things that it is better to forget. Taking advantage of every break, the Highlanders scored two touchdowns in the very first few minutes. Their morale shaken by this terrific onslaught, the Jackets were steamrollered by Bill Agnew, Bob Kurk-jain. and the Clan. Touchdown after touchdown was made and Berkeley spirits sank lower and lower. When the final gun went off, the brutal figures on the scoreboard read: Berkeley 0, Piedmont 46—the worst Jacket defeat in many years. RICHMOND Still nursing the wounds received in the Piedmont debacle, the Jackets met Richmond with high hopes of retaining second place in the A.C.A.L. Their hopes were quickly squelched, as the Oilers, sparked by fullback Germaine, drove from the Berkeley 39 to a touchdown. Before the game was ended, Richmond had scored two more touchdowns and Berkeley's football fortunes had sunk to a new low. Outstanding Yellowjacket on the field was Ernie Schauppner, who twice broke through to block Richmond's conversion attempts, and who played heads up ball throughout. ALAMEDA Alameda was Berkeley's last chance to finish in the first division. The Hornets, however, dominated all through the first half. Their powerful off-tackle slants completely stymied the Jackets and resulted in two touchdowns. In the second half, a rejuvenated Jacket team blitzkrieged down the field with three forward passes: the first from Bishop to Calatorti, the second from Bishop to Hein, the third from Bishop to Calatorti for a touchdown. Although Berkeley continued to outgain Alameda, the score remained—Hornets 12, Jackets 6. T 's was f e first time 'n twenty-two years that Alameda had defeated the Jackets. A disastrous close to a disastrous season. —DICK HEGGIE. TOP: Ellafson off to tha racas—St. Mary's gama. BOTTOM: Yatsar attampts to skirt Richmond lina.

George Bonson TRIBUTE It has been the custom at Berkeley High to have outstanding B football teams. This custom has been followed for so long that Berkeley High School students have begun to take their B teams for granted. We believe that they should receive more credit for their work. Consequently, in recognition of their fine work in coming through their season undefeated; in recognition of their spirit and fire; in recognition of their popular coach; and in recognition of the Seniors who have played their last game we hereby dedicate the athletic section of this Pod to the Berkeley High Bee Football Team.
