Inaugurating the season in a fashion that would make any team look destined for high laurels San Francisco State aerialed past Cal Tech 52-0. Maury Duncan, Gator quarter- back, engineered the victory by completing 7 of 1 1 passes for a net gain of 1 78 yards. End George Wehner accepted most of Duncan ' s passes for three of the eight touchdowns. When Duncan wasn ' t passing, Harry Bre- mond was putting on a sparkling display of open field running. Bremond ' s paydirt runs of 50 yards in the second quarter and nine and 22 yards in the fourth quarter helped him gain 125 yards for a 20.1 average and put the final touch on Cal Tech. A 15 -yard pen,ilty against Moffett Field m the last minute of play gave S.F. State a first down on the Flyers ' one-yard line from which Duncan went over on a quarterback sneak to break a 13-1. tie and give the Gators a 2 0-13 victory. Cal Poly, who gained league championship, gave the Gators heir first taste of defeat, 45-14. Behind a staunch forward wall Cal Poly backs gained 592 yards rushing. Al- though Duncan passed for 260 yards his efforts could only be placed together in the first quarter for one touchdown. Three pass interceptions at crucial mo- ments helped Chico State defeat the Gators, 13-0. Duncan was hampered by an alert de- fense and gained only 89 yards passing while backs Walt Gomez, Harry Bremond, and Rudy Smith were held for 6.2, 2.3, and 2.3 averages respectively. Although outgained in passing and rushing Chico ' s alert defense insured their victory. In the first quarter Frank Ferraulblo intercepted Duncan ' s pass on Chico ' s twenty and went 60 yards, from which Hal Higgins passed for the first and only needed touchdown. Duncan ' s passing gave the Gators then- third win of the season over Pepperdine, 13-6. Midway into the first period Duncan flipped a 30-yard pass to Wehner on the ten, George ground the rest of the way for the first score of the game. With both teams playing a de- fensive game the Gators didn ' t score again until the third quarter when Harry Bremond climaxed an 80-yard drive by plunging over from the five-yard line.
