Fernando Lopez Contreras Jr. graduated in Economics in 1965. He played soccer for three seasons, and earned an MVP his junior year and an All-American his senior year. He was a native of Caracas, Venezuela.
Highlighting the drills so far have been the returning lettermen: Fernando Lopez- Contreras at center-half, last year's Most Valuable Player, who has already shown in practice his highly regarded defensive talents and passing techniques; Rick Olias and Pepe De la Reza at halfback; Shaul Levi at fullback; and Pepe Martinez, Paul De Sena, Vic Saiz, Tico Valverde, and the "Little Magician," Ike Sofaer, at the forward spots.
When the varsity took the field it was with grim determination to settle a few more debts that had been on their minds for quite some time. As a result, the majority of the game was played on the Indian side of the turf and the entire forward line proceeded to shoot at will. Eduardo Rangell was his speedy deceptive self as he moved up and down the right wing, but it was the left side— Ric Olivas at outside left and Henry Lopez Contreras at inside left — that caught the crowd's eye. Olivas had complete control of the game as he moved at will around the hapless defenders assigned to him. Contreras tallied for two goals on perfectly executed plays which were impossible to stop. Particularly outstanding performances were turned in by halfback Shaul Levi, fullbacks Ray Parodi, Pepe de la Rosa, and Captain Ferdinand Lopez-Contreras (TheFoghorn).
