ALBERT J. RUFFO Assistant Coach LEONARD J. CASANOVA Freshman Coach LOUIS FARASYN Assistant Freshman Coach HENRY SCHMIDT Trainer DR. EDWARD A. AMARAL Team Physician Page 22 Thirty-five wins, 5 losses, and 4 ties over a five year period. Second ranking team in the nation on a percentage basis. Two Sugar Bowl victories and no defeats. That is the record of Lawrence T. Buck Shaw since he took over the reins as Head Coach of the Santa Clara varsity in 1936. Recognized as one of the outstanding defensive strategists in the game today, Buck can nevertheless be proud of his offensive rating as well. Assisting Buck in producing win- ning combinations are Al Ruffo, dy- namic line coach, Len Casanova, tech- nically known as Freshman Coach, but whose scouting and observation of the opponents is of utmost value. Along with that triumvirate are Lou Farasyn ' 39, Jack Roche ' 40, and Nello Falaschi ' 37. Inimitable Henry Schmidt is a mainstay and a tradition at Santa Clara in his training duties and J. F. Sam Dunne does an admirable job in the difficult position of Athletic Manager. With an organization composed of such men it is little wonder that Santa Clara ranks with the best in the nation year after year and neither asks nor gives guarter to any team.
