chance last week against Colorado W e s t e r n and scored three tou<'hdowns and picked p 72 yards rushing. M Cutcheon says he is a deceptive runner who shuffles his body from side-to-side. Plowever, he isn't as fast as Gray. Gray, over• h a d ow d somewhat at St. Augustme High by All-City Leaguer Sam Owens, is the qmckest man on the Pioneer squad and a terrific defenseman. Along witb experience, Gray has added a llttle weight. He weighed only 160 when he reported and is now 178. "He is not impres- sive in practice, in fact if someone would see him, he probably would wonder whf, he should be counted on, Mccutcheon said. "But in the game, it is a dif!erent story." Mccutcheon said th e re are other good freshmen who show real promise such as end Joe Loeschnig of Chula Vista, back Tom Ma- this of Booker T. Washing- ton High, .'.\1emphi~. tackle Chuck O'Connell or St. Xav- ier, Ky., and guard Walt I Joos of Pomona Catholic.. Possibly one of these will be a star of the next game.

"This meant we W<'re go- ing to have to use fresh- men in some of our key back p o s i ti on s and the thought of some of these boys playing against veter- an opponents didn't seem encouraging then." Gates. although a fresh- man had three years ex- peri~nce with the Ha~ai- ian Marines so the yearlmg classification may be a mis- nomer. A knee injury in spring practice had_ made him a bit leary durmg the early part of the season but now his hard-charging tactics have earned him the No. 2 rushing spot on the club with 246 yards in 49 carries. "Gates and Gray have be- come two of our best de- fensive men," Mccutchen said. Falvo, an 18-year-old who was an all-league star for Bellevue High last year, earned his varsity :purs with an outstanding scrim- mage stint against Los An• geles Valley JC a few weeks ago. When Bobby Keyes, starting left half was jured, Falvo got his

By JOH..."iNl' i\lcDONALD Generally a college team is happy if It can get yeo- man service out of sopho- mores but at the University of San Diego freshmen have been playing the key roles in victory. Of course, an experienced line has been a strong fac- tor, too, but so far a trio of freshmen backs have helped
