AGGIES T4 - SOUTHERN OREGON 13 Keeping their conference record perfect by defeating the Red Raiders of Southern Oregon by one point, the Aggies played their best game of the year. The game was played on the Aggies' home field under a blazing sun which drained the strength from both teams. In every department, it was the most evenly matched game which had ever been played on the Aggie field. This was a game which was decided by the toe of Saviez and fought for by the forward wall of both teams. Each team was out- standing in line play as was shown by the goal line stands of both teams. It was the Aggie's depth that was the telling tale as Coaches Forbes and Oswald kept fresh men coming in to relieve the tired forward wall. The Raiders were the first to score on an end sweep run by Campbell, making the score 6 to 0. The conversion was missed. The Aggies bounced back when Diaz' 30-yard pass was taken by Schlange, who then ran another 20 yards, putting us on the Raider's 30. Schram hit end for 28 yards and Diaz pushed it over for a tie score. Saviez made the extra point and the Aggies led 7 to 6 as the half ended. The second half opened and saw the ball change hands 7 times in 3 minutes. This was caused by a series of fumbles and blocked kicks which resulted in the most hysterical 3 minutes of football in Mustang history. The Raiders were to score again as they surprised the Aggies by changing their formation from the T to the double T and made a 35-yard touchdown run. This time the kick was good and the score was 13 to 7. Once again Diaz' arm was the telling factor as he completed three passes in succession. The last pass to Gunther Schlange was grabbed from between two defenders to make the score. Frank Saviez came in to make the winning point. The game ended with the Mustangs on the Raiders' one yard line with a final score of T4 to T3. ha . ' ii A Ken Kuykendall Bob Leavitt Don lehman Halfback Guard Fullback

AGGIES 33 - HUMBOLDT 6 In true championship style, the Mustangs won their first conference game by the convincing score of 33 to 6. 1 The evening's work was packed with thrills as the Aggies played spasmodic football. The opening kickoff was taken by the $15,471:: Lumberiack's left half and after runningvthrough the better part of the Mustangs he was hit on the 50 by A. Dessert and fumbled the my. Here ball. Here the Aggies took the ball and marched 50 yards for the first score without relinquishing the ball. The conversion was missed a final 30 and after only 5 minutes of play the score was 6 to 0. 0' 3 There were many outstanding plays but the shining star was little Kenny Kuykendall who carried the ball 13 times without loosing alayerglas i a yard. On one of the plays, Kenny hit the center of the line on a quick opener and went 87 yards for a touchdown. The half time Omar; ; score was 20 to 70 but the new period found a new and inspired Lumberjack team. This inspiration was soon to die but not until the t Lumberiacks had crossed the goal line. cores but i The Aggies, under the generalship of Diaz, bounced back to score again on a series of pass and running plays and this was the turning point of the game. On the returning kickoff, the Lumberiacks let the ball fall dead in the end zone and B. Lewis, playing heads up football, fell on it for another Aggie score. The rest of the evening saw very little good football with the game getting rough and the game ended with the final score of 33 to 6 in favor of the Aggies. ,r 5w Kt Bi Dial Bob Hunt Bill Huyck Sanfotd Johnson Fullback Quarterback 9.9 1, Quarterback Tackle
