la e t the Un!- Dleg-d Pioneer~. Gamti time is 8:15 o'clock in ,he Must&.l)J stadium. The league crown is not too lar out of reach but the un- beaten 1ecord may be a little difficult to snag as coach Roy Hughe~ and his Mustangs have discon,l!d \n the pa~t two aea- ons. In 1957, the Hughesmen romped to an 8-1 mark, winning the CCA title and losmg the one cqntest to the San Diego Marine~. In 1958, the Mustangs hared <·,,nference honors with the Fr.?sn<, State Bulldogs and Santa Barbara Gauchos while chalk!n~ up a 9-1 overall mark. The lone setback was at the ands of the Bulldogs who lost to the Gauchos, Mtting up the three-way deadlock. Platz Returns The Pioneers are coached by Paul Platz, a Cal Poly gradu- ate of l !'50. Platz takes over from a,other '.Poly grad, B irccutcheon, who piloted new University of San school : ~ough Its first t cesful ;;ri.l seasons. The eers pl'-,Yed enl,y a P.artlal -· son ln 19'6.

Startµi~ Lineups Wttb. the announ ement of · latz' e• arting lib p, it was learned that a,x Pioneers have turned !n their unlfo1ms for he season, including three top backs. The departed backs are fullback Tom Gates, who was the team's Jeading ground gain• er last year as a freshman; Bob Keyes, who led the nation in scoring whlle al Antelop1> Val- ley Junior college in 1P56, and a 5.5 yards per carry man fo1 the Pi,meers last year; and Duane O'Connor, an all-Ameri- can jaycee selection at Citrus who was battling Chapman for the fir3t - string quarterback spot. Lin£men lost include Ray Yost, _Rlck Novak and Bill Frank. The F'.rmeercl still have plenty of talent available with a line average of 207 pounds per man, a backfield standard of !80 and overall average or 196. This jumbo-type lineup, which would be welcomed by any college coach, ,s dwarfed somewhat by the elaphant-sized Cal Poly weight l:st. The Mustangs ·will start a line averaging 213 pounds per man and a backfield of 196. 'l'he first team averages 207 pounds, with quarterback Tom Klosterman at 165 pounds as the midget of the starting eleven. Huge Linemen Hughe'>' line will be anchored by guard Carlos Gonzales, 230, and center Rich Max, 235. Oth- ers in the star • line will be Curtis Hill/.,.&.d,tt end, and Darnin :lllcGm,-i97, right end; Bill Ross, 300, left tackle, and Pat Lovell, 240, 1ight tackle; and Bob Williams, 200, left guard. The el~phant backfield of the I ngs wm include Claude r, 205, left half, and Gary Jrn, 210, tight half; and "Bumper" Bowser, 205,
