His initial gallop of 51 yards came on the opening kickoff when he ran the ball back deep into the Bulldog territory. Later in the same period Braga took a reverse from Pete Visentin who was playing safety on the Don twenty-seven.

The speedy half streaked down the western sidelines for seventy yards, to be knocked out of bounds by Tony Canadeo on the three yard line. Visentin went over for the score.

After a see-saw battle for two quarters which saw the Dons holding the upper hand and the Bulldogs never threatening, the Gonzagans tried the ancient Statue of Liberty play on their own goal line only to have Miatovitch and Pete Breceda smash through and nail Canadeo for a safety (TheDon).

A native of Oakland, Peter Visentin graduated in Economics in 1941. He was a member of the Block club, the Marschi Club, and played baseball, football and rugby for the Dons.
