San Antonio, is the heart of Texas, a place where honor and respect were born and bred. We glory in the courage and traditions of our forefathers and remain inspired by these great standards. Proud are we also of our school, our beloved Tech, from which, year after year, young people leave to serve our community. Here at Tech we are imbued with confidence and love of city and country; armed with these we go forth to prove that Tech is the true heart of our community. Humberto Louis Vidal In these buildings are nurtured the citizens and workers of tomorrow. From them every year there pour into the stream of our community life the machinists, printers, sheet metal workers, mechanics, secretaries, all of them qualified to enter upon the responsibilities of adulthood.

Fred Oviedo made the lone touchdown by “knifing” over from the two yard line. “Pilacho” kicked the extra point to break the tie and beat the powerful Mules. The ball kept right on rolling as the “rugged” Buffaloes walloped the favored Lanier Voks by a score of 18-0. Oscar Contreras 7 ackle PAGE 166 Trinidad Garcia Back. H Frank Ortega picks up yardage while John Forcstier and Klias Cortinas lead interference. Henry Moya Back The now proud Buffaloes sought new stomping grounds as they traveled to Edison field to seek their third straight victory and also to upset the highly rated Edison Bears. Despite the Buffs’ efforts in holding the Bears down, the bears emerged victorious by the score of 38-6. Actually the score did not tell the meaning of the game, for Tech repeatedly threatened to score. PAGE 167 Orlando Ramirez Back Coming in to stop the play arc Trinidad Garcia, Homer De Hovos, and Henry Moya. Manuel Pastrano Guard The Buffaloes now traveled to Houston for their fourth gridiron battle against Jeff Davis. The Jeff Davis team emerged victorious by a score of 33-13. The herd of Buffaloes stomped onto the Alamo Stadium turf seeking their third victory against Texas Military Institute. Despite the efforts of the Buffs the Panthers turned the tables and came out with a 28-6 victory. Joe Oostervcen Back Making an end sweep is Joe Rodriguez and leading interference is Walter Murray. Leading interference is Frank Ortega. Frank Lopez, Walter Murray, and John Foresticr. Carrying ball is Henry Moya. Gilbert Larralde Back The Bracken ridge Eagles were the next team on the Buffaloes' list. Although the Buffs threatened occasionally with Oviedo, Paniagua, and Moya doing some fancy ballcarrying, they could not ever quite get started on their offensive thrust. The Eagle defense was just too much for the little men of Tech, so Brack came out on top of a 20-0 win. Manuel Cantu Guard Recovering fumble is Richard Ruiz. Joe Rodriguez Back Homer Dc Hoyos Tackle Coming in for the tackle is Frank Ardila and Joe Rodriguez. Still seeking their third victory, the Buffaloes tried the Central Buttons this time. The Central team scored once in every quarter of the game as Tech scored once on Fred Oviedo’s touchdown. Due to the fact that Tech had a crippled defense, the Central team outscored the Buffs by a margin of 27-7. Gunter Lewis End The highly rated Jefferson Mustangs were the next team on the Buffs’ list. This time the Buffs had high hopes of upsetting the mighty Mustangs. PAGE 170 Fred Paniagua Back Fred Oviedo Back Receiving a pass is Fred Oviedo. Although underdog Tech played great defense at certain points of the game, they were never able to “break the ice” as Jeff went on to win by a 38-6 score. Now the Bisons traveled almost “south of the Border” to encounter the claws of the Laredo Tigers. The highly spirited Bisons showed power on offense and defense as Henry Moya and Frank Ardila were standouts offensively while Elias Cortinas did yeoman service on defense. Tom Gutierrez T ackle PAGE lit David Melchor End Coining down on the kickoff is Fred Oviedo and Trinidad Garcia. I w V' U t Rudy Pena Back After the Buffs saw the ball change hands several times, they got a smooth working machine working that resulted in a 7-0 victory. With victory in their minds the Buffs invaded Peacock Military-Academy. Tech scored two touchdowns on passes from Moya to Oviedo and on two runs, one by Oosterveen and the other by Moya. The final score with Tech on top was a 26-6 victory. Roger Canamar End John Forestier Tackle Walter Murray Guard Thus the 1952 Tech Buffaloes ended their season with a record of four wins and six losses. Although their record was not too impressive, these boys will be long remembered by the Tech students and teachers for their courage and sportsmanlike conduct on the field. s. eadon3 Robert San Miguel End Finding the hole and scoring is Fred Oviedo.

With Gilbert Diaz, Rene Rivas, Joe Oosterveen, Albert Lopez, Henry Moya, John Trevino, and Alex Rodriguez as returning lettermen, this squad turned out to be rated one of the top-notch teams in their league. At the start of the season and until mid-term the Bisons were the “demons” of the basketball court, as they led the 6-AAAA district with a record of four wins and no losses.

Included in this record were three impressive district victories against Ray and Miller of Corpus Christi and Jefferson of San Antonio. After mid-term graduation Tech lost three of their most valuable players, Cilbert Diaz, Rene Rivera, and Albert Lopez. Despite the big loss to the team the Buffaloes were still in the running with the other winning teams till the end.

But what Tech lacked they made up for in “lightning” speed with smaller men. Tech did more than hold its own against such teams as Austin, Laredo, and Jefferson in the fight for leadership of the district. Doing some fine exhibition of ball-handling for Tech after mid-term were little men like Henry Moya, Henry Montez, and Joe Rodriguez, but the spark plug of the team was big Joe Oostervccn, who led the 6-AAAA district scoring. PAGE 179 Oosterveen tlying for two points. Manuel Tobias shooting one hand set shot. Tech exhibited two of the most exciting games of the year when they played Brack and Lanier and won both games by a slim one point margin. These two games had the crowd going wild up to the last second of the game. Tech played its last two games against the Martin Tigers of Laredo and the Austin Maroons of Austin. Manuel Zepeda looking for help. PAGE 180 Against Laredo, Tech played a whale of a game as the score changed hands every second before Laredo managed to pull out a two point margin over Tech in the last second.

The long galloping runs were done by Daniel Flores, Ovaldo Callazo, and Frank Lozano. Throwing the weights were Homer De Hovos at the discus and Frank at the shot put. (Gilbert Sanchez was at the pole vault, sailing with the “greatest of case,” and Lionel Medina was making the long hop at the broad jump. These and many of the low sophomores were out there fighting for the Red and White throughout the season. With such events as the San Antonio Invitation I rack Meet, City I rack Meet and the District Meet, these boys kept competing for high honors for 1 ech.
