Speedy Rich Merenda (23) sweeps end for six yards against Claremont-Mudd, courtesy of two great blocks thrown by co-captains Dan Schultz (71) and Bob Albertazzi (62). Two in a row Wanlin leads Hilltoppers to 18-8 win over Stags Last Saturday night at Kezar. The USF footballers made it two in a row with a bruising 18-8 victory over the stubborn Claremont-Mudd Stags. Once again it was Phil Wanlin pacing the Hilltop attack, completing fourteen passes for 208 yards and scoring two touchdowns on eleven and eight-yard runs. The Dons, except for one stretch in the third quarter, seemed pretty much in command of this one. In racking up three teedees, USF avenged successive shutouts of 7-0 and 6-0 to the Stags in 1964 and 1965, bringing the team to a 1-2 mark for the series. Don rooters suffered through ten minutes of iron-ribbed defensive football at the onset of the game before the Green Machine got in gear. Taking the ball at midfield after a sad Stag punt, the Dons drove to the Claremont eight on three Wanlin aerials and a nifty run by Rich Merenda (TheFoghorn).
