n/~fT Fog, Fail; U D Wins 7th By llEL ZIKES University of San Diego's Pioneers, who "fogged" past Idaho State College Saturday night, 24-0, are in an odd posi• tion as they start prepara• tions for their Thanksgiving Day game with Montana State University. At first glance, it appears to be "no contest" since MSU's Grizzlies are 0-9 for the sea. son. However, the losses have been to such major schools as Utah, Wyoming, Denver, Brigham Young, Co Io rad o State and )fontana State Col- I1ege, much tougher competi- tion than the Pioneers have faced .

"You'd go through your pat- tern and start looking for the pass and by the time you ,aw it it was gone." Heroes were numerous for the localites but the lad who hit the scoreboard twice, Bob- by Keyes, was the one who singlehandedly broke up the game. Keyes Cuts Loose After a scoreless first two quarters, Keyes took the sec- ond-half kickoff and came roaring out of the fog to go 92 yards. to score. Tom Gates, the other starting hal!back, plunged for the two points after. USO drove 42 yards to score early in the fourth quarter, a pass interception by Joe Gray giving the Pio- neers possession, and Ron Falvo plunged for the final two yards. A 20-yard pass/ from quarterback Jan Chap- man to fullback Onnie Wright set up the TD. On the run for extra points, Falvo picked up Chapman's fumble and galloped across. • Chapman's Punts Help Keyes dashed 33 yards for the final USD touchdown, 1 skirting end and just outrun- ning the Bengals. Chapman passed to Gates for the points after. Chapman's punts, five for an average of 48.4 yards per boot, were big items in the Pioneers' keeping the visitors scoreless. One of his punts went 66 yards to die on the Bengal two. Another traveledj 48 yards to stop on the one.

,t following the Bengals' defeat at the hands of impressive University of Diego Pioneers in Bal- , Stadium. fhe Pioneers came- out of fog, literally, in the sec- id halt to overpower the engals with a devasting round offensive, powered ;y Tom Gates, A v a I o n 1/right and Bobby Keyes. A 1eavy blanket of fog fell over the stadium after the second period got underway and USD was forced to abandon its aerial plans. Caccia and several of his players believed the fog was a big handicap for the Ben- gals. "We had drilled on pass defense and felt we had their aerial game pretty much in check," Caccia said. "However, when they were forced to go to t h e ground, we couldn't hold them." Bobby Keyes, a 5-9, 185- pound halfback, furnished 2 tl, 1 Pioneers needed by return. Ing the kickoff of the sec- ond half 92 yards for a touchdown. After a two- pointer by Gates, USD led, 8-0, and the Idaho State de- fense began to crumble.

were outplayed in the first half," said Pioneer coach Bob Mccutcheon. "I was especially pleased with the running of Wright, Keyes and Don Gilmore, offensive blocking of tackle Rick No- vack and the rushing of ends Wayne Bourque and R a y Yoast on defense." Freshman Joe Gray, who along with another year- ling, Tom Mathis, was out- standing on defense, ap. peared to be the only USD casualty for its game Thurs- day against the University of Montana at Balboa Sta- dium. Gray has a pulled muscle and it is extremely doubtful if he'll be able to suit up. Mccutcheon said t It e Pioneers will have to pull out all stops to beat Mon- tana. "We'll be facing the first club which can be con- sidered a major school and the boys definitely want to prove how they stand," Mc- cutcheon said. "Despite a losing season, Montana has been playing a tougher schedule and we expect to encounter troubl~ trom its line."
