FOG' 1 'BALL ln spite of the excellent coaching of George Corson and Paul Daly, the 1951 football season turned out very disappointingly for the Pirates. The team wound up the season in last place, winning only one game, that with the San Rafael Nlfilitary Academy. Ron Rosenhahn and Louis Ratto were elected co-captains for t evear. The Pirates had only 10 seniors on the team, four of whom had had no ex- perience. The team was also handicapped because it had to practice at the College of Marin because the Drake gym was not ready in time. In the first game the Pirates lost to the Polytechnic reserves, 30 to 0. However. in the second game, the Drake team got its only win of the year, by beating the San Rafael Military Academy, 27 to 7. In the Tam game our old schoolmates beat us, 44 to 13. This was expected because the Indians were a pennant-bound club. Next, the Green and White in- vaded Analy, but the Analy team won, and put Frank DeSouza and Lloyd Salinger out on the injured list for the season. When the Pirates came to the San Rafael game, they lost to the Bulldog team, 12 to 7. On the following week end, the Drake team lost to the powerful Vallejo .Apaches by a score of 43 to 6. In the next two games the Pirates lost to Santa Rosa and Napa. ln the Santa Rosa game they were outclassed by a 41 to 7 loss. In the Napa game the Pirates lost by a score of 53 to 13. In the last game of the season, the Petaluma Trojans beat Drake 13 to 0 in a very exciting game. Although the record of the Pirates' first football season does not look very impressive on paper, actually the team did very well considering its inexperience and other handicaps. George Carson, Michael Lopez, Bob Fitzhenry and Paul Daly.
