Only the use of the entire squad kept the score from 'orbiting'. This game gave the 'B' team the needed confidence to weld a strong eleven for the tough games ahead. Mission 13-Bosco Tech 0 This was a very hard fought game. Our team was beaten in the first down department by a very narrow margin. But when our goal was twice threatened, our defense held against the enemy. Mitch Taylor was out- standing in this game. Our defensive team was once again up to par. Mission 37-St. Bernard 0 Our boys ran rough shod over St. Bernard even though it was a very hot day. Again substitutions were made freely which again kept the score low. The whole team played good football. St. Bernard fought hard but didn't have the experience or the manpower to cope with our 'B' eleven. Mission 24-St. John Vianney 6 This was a game of very long runs. The Bees scored upon for the first time this year only because of a fluke play in which a St. John man ran for fifty yards for a touchdown. On the kickoff the St. John runner was ap- parently downed, our whole team relaxed, a lateral pass was executed, and the fifty yard run materialized. After this trek tied the score at 6-6, the team became fighting mad and nearly ran St. John out of the stadium. The final score, 24-6, tells the tale. Mission 'l4-St. Francis 6 This was our first league game and the boys were really keyed up! St. Francis scored first but a sensational .,.i3 catch ofa pass by George Derby and a spectacular punt return by Mitch Taylor gave us the final edge. The whole team, both offense and defense, played an outstanding game against the knights. Mission 7-St. Paul 7 Once again the opponent scored first but this time added the extra point. However, Mission came back by means of several substantial gains to tie the game. Both teams had another chance to score but both failed in their attempts. It was felt that our Bee team was over- confident in this game but St. Paul must be given credit for playing a very fine game. Mission 19-Cantwell 21 This was our first league loss. At the half-time the score was i9-7 in favor of Mission. But superior Cantwell reserve told the final story. The team missed both Jack Ferraro and Ray Pineira, out with iniuries. Cantwell must be given credit for coming back strongly in the second half. Mission 6-Mater Dei 'I3 We outdid Mater Dei in everything but the final score. Our boys were sluggish in the first half but came out of it in the second. Both teams did some brilliant playing. Although Mater Dei was the Bee league champion, our eleven believed they could have defeated them in a return match. Mission 39-Pomona Catholic 0 This was the first time that a Mission Bee team ever beat Pomona Catholic in football. Our boys were one hundred per cent ready and nothing Pomona did could stop them. Our defense stymied the Spartan eleven right from the start. The whole team was great. MRM 169
