The Dons were supposed to conquer Loyola and end their season gloriously: they didn't. In command once more at half-time, USF dropped the contest, 28-40. Roy Barni, Gene Sweeters, Dick Stanfel, Art Alois, Don Ramatici, Ken White and Gay Quandt made she sad journey homeward from Los Angeles, The termination of their USF careers had been bitter to stomach, but the year as a whole was marked with achievement. Won seven, lost four. A rather presentable entry in the 1950 record book.(TheDon).
Gene Sweeters received the William Arata Trophy: awarded to the boy who displays the most improvement in his particular position during spring football practice.

Sub-quarterback, Gene Sweeters came in and Started hurling left-handed passes all over the lot. One to Charlie Weber, good for 51 yards overall, counted the third score, while the conversion attempt again went for naught. Later in the game, the second quarter to be exact, the baseball like throwing arm of Sweeters again went to work. A beautiful 41 yarder to End Bill Reed set up the scoring—a pass to Jerry Rice in the end zone. Rice stepped back as the place kicker, but the score remained U.S.F. 23, Kansas State 0 (TheFoghorn).
