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.

By far the most exciting game of the season was the 14-12 Pioneer victory over the New Mexico Military Institute. Playing their usual role of underdog, an inspired Pioneer line held the Broncos when it most counted. A gamble on fourth downs twice paid off, setting up both of our touchdowns. But a fighting Bronco team also scored twice, and the deciding factor of the game proved to be Larry Tessary. Larry gave the team its margin of victory by twice converting. When both teams play good, clean, “heads-up” ball, as these teams did, there can be no loser. The Pioneers won the game, but both teams won the admiration of the crowd. 78
