GUUBHH Opening the season with only three veteran backs and no second-year lines- men, Coach L. J. Kienholz faced a tough assignment in molding a victorious football machine from the ample supply of eager but inexperienced talent available. The Cougars journeyed to Santa Maria for their initial contest, and pounded out a victory over the vaunted Bulldog eleven. Taft displayed an aerial attack that accounted for the three tallies. Ventura J. C. walloped the Maroon and White, using laterals and sweeping end runs, although Henry was able to average five yards per play. Bowing before a speedier club, the Cougars fell short of a victory over the Salinas Panthers in a Weird game that saw Taftinosed out by one point. ln their first conference engagement the Maroon and White decisively trimmed Visalia J. C. The reserves bore the brunt of the contest and out- classed Visalia in every department of the game. A slip-up cost the Cougars a victory over the Porterville J. C. team, and they were forced to be content with a tie. a scoreless tie MOST VALUABLE Right-Eddie Dunn, voted most, valuable player . Tackling the strong L. A. J.
