VARSITY FOOTBALL At THE CLOosE of the 1933 football season the Richmond High varsity had won four games, lost four, and tied one. Their season opened with a 3-0 defeat on an overcrowded field at University High in Oakland. A field goal by a Cub guard in the third quarter was the only score. Richmond threatened once when a pass to Merideth put them in scoring position. Classing Richmond as a “set-up” team, a football squad from Galileo High in San Francisco came to Richmond and gave the local squad their first taste of victory. Merideth scored through the line. The final score was 6-0. After their surprising victory over Galileo, Richmond invaded the home erounds of the Vallejo Apaches. The Richmond team failed to click and, as a result, came out on the short end of a 14-0 score. Playing on a newly dedicated turf field at San Rafael, Richmond handed the 3ulldogs their first defeat of the season. A pass and lateral play from Jelcich to Moitoza to Merideth made the only tally. The Richmond line showed their super- iority throughout the contest. A 90-yard run by the second heaviest man on the Richmond squad was the feature of the game with Alameda when Bob Drexel intercepted a pass and raced to the goal. The final tally was Richmond 6, Alameda 0. The Richmond squad set almost a record in the next game when they completed every pass they tried, to swamp Alhambra 28-7. Moitoza scored twice on midfield passes from Jelcich, Swan scored once on a pass from the 20, and Merideth scored from the 30. An over-confident Richmond team was lucky to get a tie with a fighting Con- cord team in their next game. McLaughlin scored after recovering a blocked kick. Blocked kicks gave Hayward High a 20-12 victory over Richmond in the next contest. Merideth and Bignall scored for Richmond. All three Hayward touch- downs were the result of blocked punts. After holding the Saint Mary’s Preps scoreless for two quarters and leading them for one, the Richmond team succumbed to a last minute rally and lost their big game, 21-7. Richmond scored on a pass-lateral from Jelcich to Moitoza to Meri- deth. All three Panther scores came in the fourth quarter on long passes. One interesting fact about the season was that Richmond scored exactly the same number of points during the season as did their opponents. Both scored 7 1. Richmond had one of the best passing attacks in the bay region and their line showed up well on several occasions. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL ANOTHER B FOOTBALL season has been completed. The squad, coached by Griffin Carey, is to be commended on their excellent spirit throughout the season. ane squad this year was called the Junior varsity and consisted of sophomores and juniors. The Richmond J. V’s took the field in their first game of the season against University High. The final score was 6-0 in favor of Richmond. Elton Brom- bacher scored after receiving a pass from Goettel. In their second game of the season the Richmond squad came near beating an undefeated Berkeley B team, only to lose in the last four minutes, 6-0. The R. U. H. S. team threatened several times, but was unable to score. The second string squad of San Leandro High gave the Jayvees their second
