SCU ' s season opener against UC Davis saw the Broncos fall but a few points short of evening their record as they fell to the Aggies 13-10. Santa Clara realized better football had to be played to have a winning season. Fumbles, penalties, and interceptions proved to be the major pitfalls for the club who now hold a 1-3 record. The Davis game saw Kaipo Spencer begin to share the quarterbacking responsibilities with Mike Nott. Both played well throughout the season but failed to add the punch the Broncos were looking for. Santa Clara ' s 1973 Homecoming game saw them rebuildtheir morale at the expense of the University of Nevada-Reno Wolfpack, with a final score of 27-14. As Coach Malley bluntly put it after the Wolfpack demise, And we ' re still working on our largest winning streak of the year-one straight. They increased it to two. Santa Clara outmanned and defeated USIU 44-7. Junior running back Don Dunbar was praised by Coach Malley for his best effort in two years as a Bronco. He gained 129 yards in 17 carries, topping all rushers. Led by the scoring of Alex

Damascus and Dunbar, SC managed to score each quarter. They ran 78 offensive plays to the Westerners 50. Defensively they established a modern era of record holding the losers to a minus 13 yards rushing, allowing them only 159 total yards offensively. Then disaster hit: The Broncos three straight losses. The first was at the hands of UOP, 44-6. The second to University of Nevada- Las Vegas, 31-15. The third to University of Hawaii, 40-9. After the Hawaii game the excuses ran out for the Bronco eleven. This was our ninth game(3-6) and people can use the excuse we are a young team, Malley commented. And you can ' t blame the tough schedule because the mistakes are the kind you see a high school club make. That was all the team needed to hear. They ended their season on a winning note defeating an equally strong team, as were the three previously. Before a home crowd they played in damp conditions defeating Montana State 10-6 in their best game of the season. Frustration which had plagued Santa Clara all season was finally felt by their opponents as SCU put together a ball-control running game to upset previously nationally ranked Montana. True, the best game last, they have their winning streak with them again. Hopefully this young team can carry more weight in 1974. k t MiiiHijiriiiiiiiiiriiiririr «-6 1 II r jr ' f ' SANTA CLARA FOOTBALL, 1973
