Casanega Again to Spark Little Colleges Mighty
 BrOncs
BY KENNETH LEAKE United Press Staff Correspondent)

Santa Clara, Gal. (UP)-The l04l edition of the University of Santa Clara football team has c better than even chance of being the best in the schools history.
 Even though the Broncs face c nine game schedule that doesn't include 6 breather, Coach Law renee Buck" Shaw is unusually optimistic about the prospects.
 Ills optimism springs from Q long" legged athlete named Kenny Casa. mega. Shaw thinks young Casanega who isn't old enough to worry about the draft--is about the best passer and ball carrier on the West Coast, If not in the country.
 Bronco followers already are boosting the slender left halfback for All-America honors. CaSanega is c senior. He was the sparkplug of e good Santa Clara team last year and there's every reason to believe he might lead the Broncos to their most successful season in history.
 Five Year Average .S72.
 Santa Clara has lost only five games in the last five years. Over that period, the BroncoS claim to have compiled the best grid record in the land. Their percentage Is .s72, or l2 points better than Ten- nessee.
 If the Shaw men keep up the pace this season, they'll have to bowl over such gridiron giants as Stanford, Michigan State, Okla homa, Oregon, St. Mary's Cali- fornia and U. o. L. A.
 The iple-threat Casanega has shown he can do almost anything with a football. As sample of the speedy halfback's l040 work:
 Against Utah, he passed to a touchdown and averaged 8 yards per carry; against Stanford, he tossed a 45-yard touchdown pass: against U. s F., he passed to three touchdowns and ran to another: against St. Mary's, he raced 70 yards to set up score, and passed to a touchdown: against Loyola, he ran 24 yards for 6 points; against Oklahoma, he set up the first score with 30-yard pass to the 1-yard line, ran to the second touchdown, passed 32 yards for another six points and ran and lateraled for the fourth score. He might have done better but Shaw only let him play a half in each game.
 Five 104O Starters Lost
 Santa Clara lost five starters from the lo40 team through grad uation, but the Broncos will have a veteran club of eight seniors and three juniors to open the season against U. S. F., on September 28..
 Shaw thinks all his positions will be stronger except center and rigt halfback. His guards 90 im- portant in the Notre Dame offense --are three deep and one of them, Rupe Thornton, Is after national honors.
 Santa Claras probable starting team: ends, Al Beals and Ken Dewing; tackles. Bill Braun and Bill Beggs; guards, Rupe Thorn ton and Dave Simmons; center: Ed Forrest; quarter. Jerry zappelli: halves. Casanega and Ward Hei- ser: full. Joe Visaili.
