A good many of the men who turnedeout were inexperienced, and the coaches and manager arranged games with local teams so that these men could get some valuable competition. Some of the teams played were Sacramento High, Woodland High, Chico T cachers, and Preston Reform School.

The contest was bitterly fought from whistle to final gun; time and again the Aggies looked sure to score but lacked the combination to their rivals9 defense. Soon after the start of this game, Spilman touched one of Pacificfs punts and the ball was recovered by the visiting team on our 20 yard line. Here started a stiff fight, but the San Jose boys, with the aid of a pretty reverse play were able to gain ground and put over a score. From thence on the game was scoreless. First one team and then the other seemed to have the advantage only to be stopped in the last few yards. In the last of the second quarter the Aggies worked the ball down to C. of Pfs 15 yard line only to have a pass intercepted. In the last half Coach Driveris men, in desperation, tried pass after pass, but were unable to make the critical connections. It seemed a case of both teams being able to hold air-tight at crucial moments. This game finished one of the hardest seasons ever attempted by an Aggie football team. The first team was composed of: EndsiTurner, Stevenson and Detlefsen T ackles-Charvoz, Smith and Garner Guards-Tuttle, Osborne Center-eCharles Bielar Halfbackse-Stitt, Lutz and Porter Quarterbacks-Brian, Spilman FullbackseeKlingaman, Cunningham T671

He soon became popular With the fans and his team- mates through his consistent playing and ttnever-say-dieg, spirit. During the current season Captain VVetmore played a steady, consistent game at center. Acting as pivot man, on the defense he was a tower of strength at all times, and When points were needed the Captain al- ways came through With some long shots from the center of the court. Captain Wetmore was one of the rs'teadiest and smartest players one could Wish to see. The Aggies lose much by his graduation this year. t69J
