That the Pioneers, who ac- tually are playing only their second season, look "better" won't draw much of an argu. ment from many of the 5.000 fans on hand in Balboa Sta- dium. The fact that the Bob- cats weren't too sharp In the last two quarters won't get you In any fights eithel', MSC started out as if the Bobcats were going to chase the Pioneers off the premises, going 37 yards to score the first time they had the ball. Things didn't improve no- ticeably for the locals in the second quarter, the boys from Bozeman going into the end- zone three times in eight min- utes. The Bobcats picked up their la t score in the third quar- ter. l:SD finally made the scorE'board with :!8 seconds left in the game. USD continues to h a\' e quarterback troubles, none of the QB's looking good enough to keep and yet each having moments of brilliance, . , lending hopes to the Piort~r followers. Sophomore Billy Bourque, \ normally the No. 3 qt1arter- back, had the best evening as far as passes were con- cerned, hitting three of elev- , len for 60} ards. Duane O'Con- nor completed six of 10 at• tempt~-but two ot the •ix were caught by the oppo ·i- tion. Starter Jan Chapman had only one completion in six shots The Pioneers get two weeks in which to lick their wound,. They are idle until O t. 18 when thev will host Lewis and Clark College in Balboa Sta- dium.

The question of San Diego State College's meeting t.:ni- versity of San DJego in foot- ball came up at the Quarter- back Club luncheon at the San Diego Club ye~terday, but it didn't staY. up very long. It was very quiet after head quarterback Gene Gregston, Evening Tribune executive sports editor, reaa the ques- tion, which was directed at either Bob Mccutcheon, USD coach, or head man Paul Gov- ernali of the Aztecs. •Teither cared to Yentute an answe~or opinion.
