Don freshmen tangle with Marin JC on September 20th after only six days of practice. After Marin they play such teams as Modesto J.C, State Normal School at Eureka, St. Mary's Frosh, Santa Clara frosh, and the new San Francisco Jr. College. As there are plenty of men out for all positions Coach Kleckner anticipates a good deal of fight between them for first-string honors. Candidates for the flanks are, Buscovich, 185, who played end at Oakland's St. Mary's High; Finnerty, 192, San Francisco; Gushaber, 180, Williams; Hagerty, 178, Sacramento; Jackson, 170, San Francisco; and Waddell, 183, Taft.
