With the news just released that Dr. Donaghue was coaching his last season, knowing that he has never had a losing season, and being fully aware of their 2-2-2 record. the booters grimly set out to win the season's finale.

Playing on a terribly muddy field, everyone was apprehensive, but the Dons couldn't be stopped as they won 4-2 for the man they love and respect. Goalies Dick Davidson and Gus Marudos; fullbacks Peter Grauert, George Tubman, and Alex Ysrael; and halfbacks Ed Zelaya, Joha Harper, and Mani Lopez-Contrares composed USFs "stone wall" defense. Frank Jacques, Jorge Hernandez, Will Diaz-Romero, Fred Savage, Johul Hoshimi, Al Rawi, Al Calonje, and Mauricio Salaverria were all part of the Don offense. All Star honors were awarded to Dick Davidson, Ed Zelaya, Mani Lopez-Contrares, John Hoshimi, and Fred Savage (TheDon).
