CG-CHAMPIO F R WESTER C0 FERENCE-194 There were veterans and newcomers for Coach Bohler to Work over in preparation for a strong schedule last fall. Although the squad appeared to be the strongestin pOSt-War football, the team was riddled with injuries from heavy scrimmage practice before the Iirst game. But the crippled and patched-up line held off the Alameda Hellcats remarkably well. The navy men, who later became champions of the 12th Naval District, expected to roll up a big score at the expense of the Wildcats, In the Monmouth game, the Bohlermen proved that they could not be discouraged. After the northerners had scored the lirst time they handled the ball, the Wildcats came fighting back to score a 20-7 Win. The Cardinal and White, team was at its low point of the season when they tangled with Southern Oregon. The Wildcats could do nothing against the Raider passing offense. Chico's strength was proven when they did battle with a surprised Cal Rambler squad in Memorial Stadium. The 'Cats scored first. The Ramblers tried to move on the ground but couldn't get past the Wildcat line. They had to take to the air in Winning the game 26-14.
