FOOTBALL AS PLAYED Football, the annual sport of thousands, has grown in a few years from a rough and humble beginning to the well-drilled, machine-like game of today which attracts droves of customers. It is the game which through long years at California still ranks high in the hearts of sports fans. With oldsters remembering the day when Vulcans played such teams as Carnegie Tech, Washington and Jefferson, Pitt, West Virginia, and Penn State, the day when the athletic field ran east and west, and the day of such coaches as P. C. Allison, Pop Harmon, J. Homer Sutherland, and in later years Bill Steers and Coach Grove engraved in C.S. T.C. football annals, we have today at California a sport played for the love of the game. This doesn ' t always win games, but as a producer of men is a goal worth attaining. The past is accounted for but the future is still a blank. With Vulcan tradition to back it up, the chances are that the merits of football played the California way will continue to be recog- nized for its true value. 10

Behind the figures of the season ' s two wins, two ties, and three losses stand a host of exciting incidents from the Vulcan grid season. Led by a large turnout of fans and a Connelly directed cheer- ing section, the 1938 season opened with a win in the sunshine and closed with a loss to Slippery Rock in the mud. The season saw a blocked punt converted into a touchdown and a win over a strong West Liberty eleven, a Westminster comeback to gain a tie, and a determined Fairmont team batter the Vulcans to a deadlock. Although all our games were played on the East Pike High School field due to the construction of the Industrial Arts build- ing on our own field, every game was well attended by ardent supporters, who are already thinking of next year ' s team, which will be minus the well known faces of grid veterans Zell, Kuhn, Covalesky, Bellisario, Lasko, Brown, and Harris.
