AllfS.P.A.L. back Chinin Tana. VARSITY Defying everything but the law of gravity, YL si., the Cubberley 1959 Varsity Football team - soared to an Sfwin, lfloss mark. Coach Bob jones felt at the start of the season that the team would have to make up for its inexf perience and small size with a lot of pep and spirit. The rugged line play of Jim McWilliam, Jim Gould, Ralph Wenzel, Dick Hayden, Bob Lucas, Steve Un' nevehr, and john Caruso, combined with the passing of Don Castle and running of Chinin Tana, Kent Weber and jay Warfel as well as Castle, accounted for much of the team's success. Cthers in the line, which became known as the Savage Seven , were Chuck Stanton, Denis Martin, jim Carter, Norm Schlosser, and Buddy Mitchell. In the nonfleague season opener, Don Castle passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in a 3243 victory over Mills High of the North Peninsula Athlef tic League. The Savage Seven came of age in the next game by nailing jefferson High backs for minus 22 yards total rushing. Castle again passed for two by completing two for scores to Jim McWilliam for touchdowns, one of the alleyfoop variety, to end jim Kennon in a 3943 win over jefferson. Upsetfminded St. Francis was defeated the following week 25f7. Denis Martin and jim Gould teamed up on one play to make Lancer QB Bob Lema fumble after being hit, allowing Martin to run for a 20 yard touchdown after picking up the loose fumble.
