SAN FRANCISCO - Univer-
sity Of Santa Clara. which has
suffered only five football losses
in five years, appears certain to
top Pacific Coast independent
football teams again in 1871.
Silver-haired Buck Shaw, the
Santa Clara coach. has FORM
liable array of experienced tai
ent assembled and has in Kenny
Casanega one of the best for
ward passers on the coast.
With Santa Clara conceded
first, the battle for second place
appears a dog fight with st.
Mary's, U.S.F., Loyola, Portland,
San Jose State, Nevada, and
Fresno State rating considera-
ton.
st. Marys, in its second year
under Norman Red Strader. is
coming up with a heavy team
and a new passing wizard pic
turesquely named Podesto of
Modesto. U.S.F. is starting its
first campaign under Jeff Graz
vath. formerly OF use. The
San Franciscans also present a
new backfield star in Sophomore
Neil Sheridan. Casanega, Po-
desto, and Sheridan are all rated
as superior passers.
Ben Winkleman at San Jose
lost heavily through graduation
but numerous transfers and
sophomore requirements point TO
ANOTHER strong array at the
Prune Belt school which has lost
only one game in two years.
Fresno State, San Joses prin-
cipal rival for state college hon.
ors, is coming up with another
typical Bradshaw team, fast and
tricky.
Marty Brill at Loyola and
Matty Mathews at Portland
aren't saying much but they
hope to spring a few surprises
among the major teams they've
scheduled as 1s41 opponents.
Nevada may prove the strong
est of the entire group. with the
exception Of Santa Clara. Coach
Him Aiken has a squad of vet
Grams, including Marion Motley,
really good halfback.
No survey of the independent
field can overlook College of
Pacific where Amos Alonzo
Stage is in the midst of his SD
year of football coaching. Stagg
makes il a point TO deliver one
upset year. That upset may
come in his game with the
Southern Methodist Mustangs.
on the Stockton team schedule
for the first time.
Pacific Lutheran, unbeaten last
year, appears strong enough
again to sweep the Washington
Intercollegiate conference. The
Lutherans beat Gonzaga rs to
IL. Arizona and Tempe are early
season favorites in the border
conference Willamette looms
strongest in the Pacific North
west conference and College of
Pacific in the far western.
The football picture for 1871 is
augmented by addition of many
service teams. of which the
strongest appear to be the Mof-
felt Field Filters, the Fort Ord
seventh division, and Camp
Ham of Riverside. Many of
them have booked independent
college opponents as well as
games in the service field ex-
clusively.
