At 6' 2", 230 lbs., a native of San Francisco, Harold Grant Hill played tackle for the Dons.
The Forty-Oners did very well in the athletic column. The Frosh football team was undefeated and unscored on, the greatest ever at the Don institution. "Monk" Mosconi, Cliff and Dan Fisk, Fred Haley, Walt Pudoff, Sam Johnstone, Trude Spearman, Grant Hill, Bill Telesmanic, Pete and Gene Visentin carried the boys through a tough five game schedule. A tackle, Robert Taylor, was labeled another Jim Barber, but he forgot about football and school because of a badly banged up leg (TheDon).
In a slow dragging game, the Dons stopped the Santa Barbara State Gauchos 14-0 in another night game at Seals Stadium. Cold and fog kept the crowd down to 7,500. In the first quarter Al Braga ran his weak side reverse through tackle and threaded his way 38 yards to a score. The other Don tally came in the second period when Pete Breceda snagged a 14 yard pass from Mosconi and fell across the goal with two Gauchos hanging on his neck.
Mosconi converted both scores. The Dons rolled up 389 yards from scrimmage and passes but were held half a dozen times by the scrappy Santa Barbara outfit within the five yard line. Cliff Fisk threatened to break away in the first and third quarters but after gallops of 20 and 33 yards was hauled down from behind by the safety man. The Gauchos showed little in the way of offense but showed great defensive strength near their end zone.
Sophomore Grant Hill started in place of the injured Blase Miatovich and turned in a great game. Tom Rice, Pete Breceda, Bill Telesmanic and Doug Stinson were the other standouts in the line (TheDon).
