Football Dumped By Dons, Royals Whomp Warriors The unfortunate showing h) ' the 1969 Royal Varsity Foot- ball Team was understandable when one takes into considera- tion the fact that San Nfarcos had a team made up mainly of Juniors. The opening eontest with Thousand Oaks was lost 32-16. E en though the T. O. team outscored us in every de- partment, our raging Royals kept their spirits high and entered the game against the Dons with high hopes. Here they made a marked improvement, but lost to the Dons 22-0. The close battle with Las Vegas was tied throughout the first three quar- ters. In the fourth qtiarter, both teams scored but L. V. made the conversion and walked away w ' ith the game. In this tight game, the Royals displayed their physical abilities held back from a win by lack of ability to match wits with more able and experienced teams composed mainly of Seniors. In the Bakers- field attack, the Royals lost more than the game; Jim Thorpe and Don Weaver were both injured to further hamper the ailing Royals. A poor defense against Santa Maria lost that battle but against Righetti, the Royals rallied to piull ahead in the last quarter with a touchdown and the only victory for the Royals this season.
