SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 4.-(UP)
The Bells of ST. Mary's could
rightfully be tolling today for jim
my Phelan's fighting band of teen
age eridderS.
They went down to a 1877 defeat
at Kezar stadium yesterday before
Del Monte navy pre-flight and its
former all-AmericanS, but only af-
ter they had stolen the hearts of
that left them on the long end of
7 to 6 score when the second per-
iod ended.
1t. Bill Kern, Del Monte's head
coach, started his cadets, who in
themselves comprise an above
average eleven, but suddenly found
himself seven points in the hole
with the first period only three
fourthS gone.
st, Mary's had recovered a Del
Monte tumble on it's own As and
wasted no time in captalizing on it.
Herman Wedemeyer, st. Mary's
Hawaiian candidate for 1943 ma
tional grid fame, scooted around
end for % yeards and the bal rest
ed on the Del Monte 35. He actu-
ally travelled 81 yards, but St.
Mary's was penalized Is for clip
ping. However, the penalty meant
little for one the next play Bob
Fernandes, another Gael flash from
Hawaii, passed to Joe Babich in
the end zone for a touchdown.
Wedemeyer converted.
TAPS RESERVES
Kern started tapping his reserves
of former All-Americans at the
second period started and before
the quarter was over had all of his
officers in there, including the
great Parker Hall of Mississippi
Paul Christman of Missouri, Len
EShmont of Fordham and Jim
Macdonald of Ohio state.
The former professionals romped
all over the stadium but between
penalties and the stubborn defense
OF the youthful Gaels were not
able to score until shortly before
The half ended.
A poor punt gave Del Monte the
ball on the st. Mary's 81. Hall
marked off nine yards and then
Eshmont got loose for Is, and on
the next play went through the
middle of the Gael line for the
score. Bowden Wyatt, another
