SiO Se es The Bay Bridge, with its steel towers reaching skyward, represents a bulwark of strength. It was built by men active in mind and body. Participation in sports builds a strong body and an alert mind. Like the sturdy foundations of the Bay Bridge, active sports give one the physical foundation for the stress and strains of life.

— COACHES —— F. Ribbel A. Williams P. Hempler | VARSITY GRID SEASON Or NOVEMBER 13 the Richmond High football squad ended its 1936 season in second place in the A. C. A. L. Out of eight games played, two were lost— one practice contest to Tamalpais and a league game to Piedmont, A.C.A.L. : victors. The Oiler team was coached by Frank Ribbel and Arleigh Williams who gathered together the remains of last year’s undefeated team and filled the empty berths with newcomers and former Jayvee players. Training was begun in the spring and after the summer vacation every detail of football was worked out in practice.

Things looked easy until the second quarter when Bill Peters ran the Oilers ragged. Richmond lost 13-6. Whip Alhambra Panthers The last practice game was with Alhambra at Martinez. Still smarting from the last defeat, the boys vowed they would win. They settled down and played a fast, accurate game that was too much for the Panthers. After this game two © weeks were spent in hard practice in order to prepare the team for league competition. | Open League Against Piedmont As the first league game with Piedmont drew near, rumors said that Rich- mond would retain the championship. Piedmont was rated second in strength to | Richmond because of their poor showing against Diablo. However, when the day of the big game rolled around, Richmond was not at full strength, due to | previous injuries. In the first play Glen Whalen was injured, and the Oiler | PAGE TWENTY-NINE
