Richmond’s pass defense was sadly lacking and though we were stopped several times deep in Hayward territory we were defeated 8 Pp I hi! y 13-0. Piedmont—Coach Pascoe raised his boys and his hopes to a terrific pitch for this game, and the Oilers came through. Richmond’s forward wall smothered the Piedmont attack and Rich- mond’s offense rolled through the highly-touted Highlanders. We made a touchdown in each half to break a long string of traditional defeats by Piedmont. The score was 14-0. Alameda—The Hornets furnished the Oilers with more competition than they had expected. Richmond, however, soon showed its power and won the game 13-0 over the hapless Alamedans, who failed to win a league game. Charles Seger, Oiler fullback, was elected captain before the game.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The R. U. H. S. football team began the season un- der a terrific handicap. They were not expected to win much with only two returning lettermen. However, the green sophomores and inexperienced seniors came through, and the season developed into one of the most successful in recent years. Much of the cerdit is due Coach Bob Pascoe for his fine work in developing the Coacu Pascor team. Three of the outstanding members of the team were selected by the coaches of opposing teams as worthy of AIl-A. C. “A. Ls mention. The boys were Delvin Babb, tackle; Jim Cronin, end; and Charles Seger, fullback. A banquet was given the Oilers by the Richmond Rotary Club at the end of the season at which letters and awards were presented. Delvin Babb received the All-American blanket, Charles Seger, the oil can, and Leonard Sullivan, the scholarship. Seniors who played their last season of football were Jim Cronn, Bill McAndrews, Delvin Babb, George Torvik, La Verne Hall, Charles Seger, George Newell, Leonard Sullivan, Willard Stone and Ed Radosivich. San Rafael—on the afternoon of the initial game, the team, with no idea of its strength or how it would fare, met the Bulldogs from San Rafael Richmond’s offense clicked beautifully and its defense stopped the Bulldogs cold. The Oilers came home with a 13-0 victory. Stand- outs were George Newell, Gene Otto, and George Torvik. Vallejo—With a bit more confidence, the Oilers faced the V allejo Apaches. It was a hard- fought game throughout. The edge score of 13-12, was established by a conversion after the first touchdown..Stars were Charles Geser, Neville Calfee and Jim Cronn. Berkeley—Richmond traveled to Berkeley to meet a highly-favored Yellowjacket team. Al- though heavily outgained, the Oilers held them to a 0-0 tie. The Richmond forward wall com- posed of Bob Weir, Gene Otto, Bill McAndrews, and Delvin Babb, played great games at their positions. Richmond proved to be the only team in the league which Berkeley did not defeat. Albany—Richmond met Albany on the Richmond High turf with revenge in their hearts remembering last year a 32-0 defeat. It was our day, we won with a runaw ay score of 27-7. The feature of the game was a 79-yard touchdown dish by Leonard Sullivan.
