CUIVINOCK GRIDDERS SUBDUE SAN BERDU On Friday evening, September 29, the Cumnock football machine trav- eled to San Bernardino to engage the junior College gridders. When the dirt clods had stopped flying, and the dust had settled, the Cumnock team emerged from the fracas on the long end of a i3 to O score. Coach Ford Palmer's charges displayed mid-season punch. San Bernardino opened the game with a scoring drive that began on the Cumnock 20-yard line. When three running plays failed, they at- tempted a field goal, but the attempt was unsuccessful. After a drive of their own that failed, Cumnock team launched a lO yard attack on the 40 yard line, and scored the first touchdown of the season.

THE COACH'S PRAYER Glen Galvin Lord, send me a squad With the right attitude, Give me some men With much fortitude. Give me some ends Both tall and fast- Some ball-snagging fools That can handle a pass. Send me some tackles Big and tough- Some men that love it When the going is rough. Bless me with guards, Who'll charge like a flash, Who will never let up, When opposing lines clash. Give me a fullback Who can bruise and welt, Who can rip and slash Till the opposing lines melt Send me a center A man that has class, Who under pressure Will not bauble a pass. Procure me a quarterback, Both heady and fast- Not like the dumb-bells l've had in the past. Lord, grant one more thing To round out my season, just make the faculty Listen to reason.

Both teams were compelled to punt frequently dur- ing the first half. With the second team playing, Cumnock tallied six digits as the result of a beautiful pass play from Don Hankey to Guy Good- win, who made a spectacular running catch. ln the third quarter Cumnock scored another touchdown but the ef- fort was nullified when a fifteen-yard holding penalty was called on Cum- noc-k.
