"The Besf Was Yef" Venice I 3-Uni I2 Playing fheir besf game, fhe I95O Universify foofball feam was nipped by 'rhe league-champion Venice Gondoliers, I 3- I 2. The Indian affack was sparked by fhe brillianf running of John Escobar, Jose Uranga, Arf Walfon and Dick Oliva. Nof 'ro be- overlooked was fhe equally fremendous defensive play by Carroll Han- sen, Rodgers Dorr, Frank Chabre and fhe "unsung" heroes of fhe line. One of fhe mosf specfacular plays of fhe year occured when Dick Oliva accounfed for a 68 yard punf. Our firsf fouchdown was scored on an end- around play wifh John Escobar packing fhe ball. The conversion was blocked. Venice scored fheir fwo fouchdowns by virfue of fwo long pass and run plays. All-cify end, Leon Clarke, played an excep- fional game, along wifh Tommy Grimes and Ronnie Skaggs. Our ofher fouchdown came in fhe fourfh per- iod when Escobar again scoofed around his leff end. The hearf of every player and fan sank when fhe hard-charging Ve-nice line blocked fhe conversion, leaving fhe score af I3-I2. J. Callies R. Sfam A. Walfon L. Blad B. Nebenzahl D. Schweifzer M.
