The previous losses may have dismayed Coach Gil Kuhn and his boys, but those losses did not dim their determination to place a few figures on the credit side of the season's ledger. The encounter with Edwards Air Force Base was the game which broke the series of defeats and sent our morale soaring. That sunny Saturday everything went right for the men from Alcala Park. Playing to revenge our first defeat at the hands of an Air Force team, the Pioneers went at their foes with a fury. And revenge we certainly had, when the game ended in a 47-0 victory. Clarence goes for 10.

Much of the credit for the University's athletic program belongs to the University of San Diego's Boosters’ Club. Formed at the beginning of the 1955 fall semester, the club this year elected Murray D. Goodrich as President, John B. Sullivan as Vice-President, Russell Chartier as Secretary, and Joe Williams as Treasurer. Mr. Goodrich, who succeeded Mr. Al Schuss as the club's president, listed as among the Boosters’ goals the increase of their membership to approximately four hundred. Primarily concerned with encouraging athletics in the school, the Club includes thirty members who form a board of directors known as the Athletic Board of Control. This year the Board of Control was given the responsibility of hiring a full-time football coach who will also relieve Mr. Fon Johnson as Director of Athletics. No mention of the Boosters' Club would be complete without reference to the more recently founded Women’s Auxiliary, which has assumed the task of sponsoring University club activities and helping with publicity for the college. Chairman of the Auxiliary is Mrs. Marco Monteverdi, and Co-chairman is Mrs. Murray Goodrich.
