For the final game of the season, the frosh met the Mission youngsters from Santa Clara. The Santa Clara frosh never got past the Don 30-yard stripe and most of the game was played in their own backyard. Behind the massive Don line that played spectacular ball all season, the baby Dons held them scoreless while shellacking them 25 to 0. Again the frosh backs had a field day for themselves, and as throughout the whole season, their line support was terrific.

Coached by Brad Lynn and his assistants, Vince Briare and Joe Mocha, the Don frosh football team of 1949 was one of the finest seen on the coast. Outstanding were backs Joe Scudero, Elvin Colburn, Jim Whitney, Ken SeNulty, and Ed LeJeune. In the line they were all outstanding: tackles Gene Barry and Gene De Martini, guards Anthony Conte and Don Moore, ends Bob St. Clair and Tony Matich and center Paul LaCava not to mention many others (TheDon).
