A M I The Muir College Mustangs started things off right in their second football season with a 19-12 victory over the Phoenix Bears, September 27. The following week we put the skids on powerful Menlo j.C. Muir's reserve strength took much of the credit for a final scorce of 13-6. October 10th the curtain finally rang down on the undefeated Mustangs as the presumed eleventh victory in two years turned into the Worst defeat of the season. Ventura Junior College spun us to a 26-13 beating. As we were to see, this was only the beginning. We really got hurt the following Satur- day evening. After trailing I3-O at the half in the LACC encounter, Muir came to life with renewed vengeance. With only two minutes left in the game, Monty Osborn took a pass in the end zone to tie up the game, only to have a referee call it incom- pleteg the decision is still debated. Final score, LACC 19, Muir 13. ' Oceanside-Carlsbad JC dropped one to theAMustangs on October 23 in the Rose Bowl. The beach city team just didn't have enough to stop a 20-0 Muir stampeding. On Hallowelen, we met the Compton College Tartars and fell again but not until the Tartars got the scare of their life. If the Mustangs had played hot football for 60 minutes instead of 30, the final score certainly would not have been 20-14. r- The night of November 7 saw Muir overcome a one point handicap extending into the fourth quarter and assure a victory over Long Beach City College with a 20-13 score. A rugged bus trip to Napa, California, was followed by a 60 minute mud bath and a 21-6 win over the 'northern JC eleven on November 15. Climaxing a fair season, john Muir College entered the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Tussle' favored over Pasadena City College. As the game started we looked excellent, then something happened. The whole Mustang grid machine seemed to crumple, not because of any miracle playing by the Bulldogs, but largely due to something we didn't have on November 27. On any other day the score might have been different, but this day we have to take a 23 to I4 defeat and like it. They were up, and we were down. Final statistics showed Muir had WON 5, LOST 4, and stood FIFTH in the Western States Conference., 4 ' page 127
