Handicapped throughout the season by injuries, the Blue and Wliite gridders fought through the hardest schedule in the conference, winning five games and dropping the final one after a layoff of three weeks. Several veterans of the championship team of 1928 reported to Coach Murius McFadden at the opening of the season, among them being Captains Maury Baldwin and Carl Mitchell, center and quarter respectivelyg Lafiin and Eubanks, endsg Beard and Johnson, guardsg Allen, tackleg and Bristow, full. BAYVIEW A. C. GALIE. 64 - 0 After four weeks of practice, the varsity's first game was a practice tilt with the Bayview Athletic Club. Rather highly touted, the clubmen were swept off their feet before the game was fairly started by a terrific barrage of power plays which scored 55 points in the first quarter. A stiffened resistance held the subs scoreless in the next period, but when the starring lineu.p replaced them at the beginning of the half, a series of off-tackle plays and end runs again scored.

XVeenie Wrtrnholz, Ernie Rae, Tiny Haywards, and Barney Allen. 1 1 Charley Seymour played a whale of a game up at Sacramento. 1 1 The Three Musketeers: Duke, Red, and Tiny, 1 1 Ced Bristow is married. Condolences. 1 1 Only one end escaped injury during the season. He was Naci Kubicek. Brant Eubanks and .lack Lallin had knee injuries, Bristow and Cooper sustained sprained ankles, a.nd Nate Magid hurt his elbow seriously. 1 1 Gus Peterson had the worst luck of the season. He scored in the Bayview game, and the papers said: 'lAn unidentified sub made a touchdown just as the last whistle blew. In the Menlo game, he intercepted a pass, started for Menlo's goal, the referee got in the way, and he was tackled just as the gun ended the game. And one week before the Sacramento game, he gave the most 'impressive exhibition of line-crashing of the season, and received a sprained ankle which kept him on crutches for two weeks. 1 1 Ernie Rae and Milo Quissling were elected captains for the 1930 football team. They were all-conference tackle and fullback respectively.

Milo Quissling, frosh fullback, led in the scoring column with three touchdowns, and Ed Haynes, another Frosh, was close behind with two. They and Captain Maury Baldwin turned in the best performances on the field. SANTA CLARA FRosH. 6 - 24 After a stubborn, dogged defense throughout the first half, the Bulldogs broke before a smashing attack led by Hardenian and Dowd, and only a des- perate last minute pass saved J. C. from a thorough whitewashing. Two costly fumbles paved the way for Padre scores, and a punt returned sixty yards added six more points. Smith, sub quarter, snatched little jerry Harris' short pass eight yards from the goal line and raced across to score San Mateo's only touchdown. Ernest Rae, Barney Allen, and Maury Baldwin played good football, but could not stein the tide. lVlARIN J. C. 25 -O. ln the first conference game of the season, the Blue and Wliite, after a first period which gave the fans more than one scare, vented their feelings on the Mariners and moved upward a notch toward the championship. The Yellowjackets, who had already beaten the Blue Devils of Modesto, opened the game in spectacular fashion with a finished passing attack, but went to pieces in the last half, and the Bulldogs unleashed a passing attack that succeeded in scoring. . Quissling was the star of the contest. In the line, Rae, Allen, Beard, and Baldwin were outstanding. CALIFORNIA FROSH. 0 - 6. A blocked kick spelled bitter defeat to an eleven that consistently out- played, outfought, and outgained the victors in a game that was finally decided by the worst of ill-luck. Brant Eubanks, crippled by an injured knee, twice caught long passes which should have been touchdowns, but on each occasion was overhauled from behind. A slow, grueling game ended in a 6-O defeat. Quissling, Haynes, Eubanks, and Rae played well for the Blue and Wliite.
