The starting line-up for the Gold team is made up entirely of new faces to the Don Varsity. Led by Horace Winslow, a smart player who has all the attributes of an excellent leader, this team will furnish a strong counter attack with Vic Ramus and Billy Russo, who have been running wild during practice, doing most of the ball toting. They will be ably assisted by Al Marselek at quarter and by big, easy-going Glen Smith at full.

GLENDALE FEUD LOOMS SATURDAY: The citizens of Glendale, will have more than a passing interest in the Stanford-USF tilt tomorrow. The entire backfield of their Southern California High School Championship squad will be intact on the Kezar turf tomorrow. Mr. Joe Diestel, a Glendale fan, writes that the backs for that team were Manny Sheridan, Glen Smith, Dean Morris and Frankie Albert. Albert will be wearing the Stanford colors and Smith, Sheridan, and Horace Winslow, the green and white of the Dons. It will be like "old home week" for the southern boys. Sheridan lives next door to Albert and Winslow used to pass the ball to him as a center on the Glendale outfit. He made the All-Conference eleven for his efforts. No matter who wins, Glendale can't be on the short end.

Mud Bath: Wednesday's game with Stanford could not be classed as much more than an experience in mud. Despite this fact, there were some brilliant plays, such as Pete Franceschi's 90 "Our Boy Tom" yard run to the first try of the game. The tries made by Glen Smith of the Dons and Pete Kmetovic of Stanford for the most part the game were slowed down by the condition of the field. It seems that USF lacks enough men who are willing to stick with the sport, for in every game many new faces are apparent. The new men, with only a surface knowledge of the game are the cause for numerous penalties against the Dons, which count heavily in the balance of victory and defeat (TheFoghorn).
