Second Team , HEN credit for the 1921 victorious 3IKI iVarsity is divided among those who made it possible the second squad deserves a substantial share. When the candidates first donned their uniforms there were fifty contenders for iVarsity positions. The end- of two weeks saw this number cut in half, and a second ,Varsity was picked. This team climbed to the top of the , ladder, and has the consolation that it will form the nucleus of next seasons 3 Victorious ,Varsity. . When Frank Watson, head second . . team coach and former ,Varsity man, first issued the call, many responded for the , pre-season practice. Coach Watson had ' to work under difficulty on account of the seeming lack of material at the first of the season, but the first game proved , that he was equal to the task of producing ' a winner. Manager Bob Reynolds arranged , games with a number of Junior Colleges .and High Schools that proved to be hard, . . but Victorious, for the second string squad. REYNOLDS ' VAN ATTA Roseville was the first comer, and Manager Captain was administered a 40-0 drubbing. The following Saturday the Preston squad journeyed to the Farm and held the second squad to two touchdowns in a very Close but slow game, the final score being 13-0. Captain Van Atta, at quarter-back, commandered the team in great form, and showed a wonderful stock for the next seasons iVarsity. The second Preston game proved to be disastrous for the second squad, which lost by a 35-0 score. The next game was with the Santa Rosa Junior College, and with Coach Watsonis instructions to buck iem off their feet the squad celebrat- ed a 3517 Victory. Santa Rosais 1 tally was on an intercepted forward pass. The game with Sacramento High School proved to be a surprise, for it was one of the strongest teams that this squad met. The first game was won by the Farm 1417, the second was lost 6-7.
