The Pope had been dead 10 days when half the football squad lumbered out of the seminary after 8 :30 Mass Saturday to join their slum- bered other half for a pre- game breakfast.

Trust should be placed in the ASB representatives as your (the students') informa- tive agency, and not in a particu- lar group of individuals who are often led amiss as to the essence of the question and are conse- quently led by personal views and passions."

Although the present Lewis & Clark team won't become as fa- mous as the old explorers for whom their school was named, the Oregonians did come to town with a 2-1-1 record. And in the second period their huge line stopped USD four times on their 31, 27, 10 and 9-yard lines. Jan Chapman, who completed nine of 16 passes, connected with halfback Tom Gates to set up the third San Diego score. Keyes took it over from the 7 on the quick- pitch play with 36 seconds left in the half. Keyes scored his third TD in the third quarter on a 2-yard plunge, capping an 11-play, 38-yard drive. Larry Tessary's placement made the score 26-0. McCutcheon's defensive platoon played with reckless abandon and Frosh Fumble, Lose to LACC By C. G. WALKER A screaming throng of about 50 watched the USD freshman foot- ball team lose to Los Angeles City College Cubs 18-0 last week. The Frosh record for the season is now 1-1. LACC scored twice in the sec- ond quarter and once in the third . The Cubs showed a well-rounded offense, led by the running of halfback Joe Womak. Varsity coach Bob Mccutcheon said, "Our freshmen are a re- freshing group to watch. We were a little outclassed, but take away our seven fumbles and it would have been close." End Wayne Bourque starred for the Pioneers. Halfbacks Ron Falvo and Joe Gray and new full- back Joe Baxter looked good in the backfield. Tackle "Big Butch" O'Connell and guard Jay Elson played aggressive, leather-popping football in the line.

Kuhn Explains To squelch another rumor, Fa- ther Spain stated, "No member of the Western College Association, or of an~· of its committees, has condemned the USD athletic pro- gram or cast aspersions on the qualifications of the USD coach." Father Spain issued the official statement at the Boosters' Monday luncheon at the ~fission Valley Country Club. At the same luncheon, Gil Kuhn. chairman of the Athletic Board of Control, who had been quoted in downtown papers as saying that Coach Mccutcheon was on his way out, declared that a local sports- "Titer had violated his confidence in reporting "off-the-record" re- marks. The reporter admits this, he said, and has offered to publish a retraction. Kuhn also pointed out that he had been speaking pri- vately as an individual and not officially as a spokesman for the Board.

were contrary to pre-game publi- city, which had described a team different from the one that trounced favored Lewis & Clark Saturday. USD Coach Bob Mccutcheon, praising his team's performance, said, "Finally the team has jelled and played up to its true poten- tial." Blocking Great Keyes, who set school records in amassing 209 yards and scor- ing three touchdowns, was the game's most sensational perform- er. Enabling him to rewrite the USD record books was a hard- charging line that sprung him for one 46-yard jaunt and another 89- yard touchdown sprint. End Ray Yoast, tackles Rick Novack and John Mulligan, guards Dick Gard- ner and Bob Hughes, were big blockers in this line. End Merle Reed caught eight passes and tied C. G. Walker's school record. His first reception was good for a touchdown after Keyes had moved the ball to the Lewis & Clark 8.
