The MusTangs, ably coached by Earl KlapsTein, who was assisTed by Gene STagnaro and Collie Kidwell, goT oTT To a slow sTarT as They Ios+ To SacramenTo and SanTa Rosa in Their only Two pracTice games, and Then were de- TeaTed by San MaTeo in Their opening conTerence encounTer. The SacramenTo game could have gone eiTher way as boTh Teams ToughT The Tull 60 minuTes, wiTh The CapiTol Club Tinally eeking ouT a 6-2 vicTory. Going inTo The SanTa Rosa game wiTh noTiceable lack oT maTerial and depTh due To injuries, The Orange and Black losT 48-7. San MaTeo, who finished second in The conTerence race above The Third place STockTon gridders, rolled To a 28-O win: The MusTangs, developing as The season progressed and mold- ing Their previously green maTerial inTo a TighTing grid machine, came back To dump l-larTnell I3-6, and ModesTo 28-6. They Then Traveled SouTh and losT To a highly TouTed Pasadena eleven, I3-O.
