MURIUS MCFADDEN LEE BISSETT LESLIE WILSON E. I-1. BASHOR ?oot64 I Two football games with southern schools were the features of last year's grid schedule. Coach Murius McFadden's outfit traveled south to play San Bernardino, and Santa Ana came here for battle. Few veterans greeted Coaches McFadden and Bissett, and they pinned their hopes on newcomers. The San Mateo machine was off to a bad start against the Santa Clara frosh, being trampled to the tune of 13 to O by the strongest freshman team said yet to be turned loose on the Bronco campus. Cassy Casanego, star of the Frosh, proved himself ambidextrous by throwing a sizzling right-hander 56 yards in the air to Schoepf across the Matean last stripe, after he had spent Thirty-four DELL FISHBACK SAM FRANCIS T. MATT!-IEXV L. H. RANKIN the afternoon chucking left-handers. Peterson scored the second time for the winners on a wide end sweep from 16 yards out. Brilliant aerial thrusts caused the second straight downfall for San Mateo when they lost next to San Francisco junior College, 6 to 0, in the Northern California Conference opener. The Rams opened their scoring drive in the second period when a pass from Conners to Gray netted the winners 38 yards. Another pass brought the ball within bucking distance of the goal, and Al Boitano brought it over after a brace of tries. The Bulldogs were unable to offset this early lead. The stage had a different setting the third week of play when McFadder1's eleven found

A recovered fumble and an intercepted pass put the Mateans in scoring position. The scores were made by passes. Willie Silva tossed one to Bob Irvin, end, and Noah Curti flipped the other to Silva. The Berdoo outfit also scored on a pass. Probably the most thrilling game of the season was chalked up when the Bulldogs played their one home game-against Santa Ana. The battle ended with a 6 to 6 tie. The most dramatic play of the game was sponsored by Don halfback, Tinken, who took a short pass from Joy on his own 15-yard line in the last minute of play, side stepped and squirmed through the Mateans to the 5-yard mark. Here he tried to reverse his field, after seemingly having a clear way for a score, but was clutched from behind by Curti. Earlier in the contest, however, San Mateo had been first to counter. As they easily dominated the beginning of the fray, a 50-yard toss from Curti to Silva in the first quarter was good for six points. Ed Huff set up the pass play by inter- cepting a Don throw. Defeat came back to nestle in the bosom of the tired Bulldog team with the last game of the season against Sacramento at the capital city. The Panthers won, 12 to 7. The San Mateo eleven played even-up ball throughout the hrst quarter of action. But with the second period a rejuvenated Sac eleven score-marched twice. San Mateo hnally gained an offensive chance in the fourth quarter. Andre Bogart and Ed Huff carried the ball for most of the drive on the ground. Then Curti pitched to Silva for 20 yards. Again Curti tossed to Irvin for 20. On the next try he dropped one 26 yards over the goal line to Huff. Silva place kicked the extra point. Despite their not-too-impressive record, San Mateo placed three men on the all-conference team: Willie Silva, Harold Stireman, and Al Tamborini. Silva, of course, was quarterback, Stireman a guard, and Tamborini an end. Noah Curti, fullback and Ed Huff, were given second string rating.
