Meza fullback THE 1959 SEASON The 1959 Royal eleven, the nucleus of which was made up of a strong line and fast backs, started the season by running over Lompoc 14-13 on Lompoc gridiron. On September 25, the Royals played and won their first home game of the 1959 season, stampeding Carpinteria 44-O before about 3,000 fans. October 3 was one of the blackest days for the San Marcos fans as St. Francis, a powerful team from Pasadena, walked all over the Royals by running up a score of 63- O. T e San Marcos eleven overwhelmed their opposition when they traveled to the Ojai Valley to play Nordhoff. The Royals ran up a score of 20-0 in the blistering heat of the valley in their first Frontier League ame. g Royals next traveled to play Camarillo, this game turned out to be a heartbreaker for the San Marcos eleven as they lost a hard fought encounter to the Camarillo Scorpions 7-6. Bad breaks, including fumbles and freak pass interceptions, produced this setback for the Royals. On October 30, the Royals journeyed south to play the Fillmore Flashes at Fillmore, The hard charginfg Fillmore line and a good faking quarterback proved to be the deciding actors as the Flashes defeated San Marcos 26-6. The following weekend William S. Hart came north and made it three losses in a row for the Royals as the team from Newhall won a hard fought 7-0 victory. This is considered by many to be one of the best games played by the Royals as Hart was the top team in the Frontier Lea ue. gA week later the Royals played for the last time during the 1959 campaign as they met the powerful Pt. Hueneme team. It was a very hard fought game and the Royals twice came from behind to tie Hueneme with a final score of 13-13. A. Callihan L, Hughes halfback halfback
