S3 ■■ Earl H. Wight, Director of Athlectics Review of Football Season STARTING the season with brilliant prospects and high hopes of retaining the Conference Championship won the year before, the 1931 edition of the Bulldog eleven disappointed its many followers by finishing fifth in the final standings. The 1930 champions were supposed to be intact, with the possible exception of three men. However, when the team was assembled last Fall, fifteen of the men were missing for various reasons. Consequently Coach Borleske was faced with the task of rebuilding a comparatively new and inexperienced team, teaching a new system on a last minutes' notice. Borleske proceeded to do this and the result was a rather unsuccessful preliminary season. The season opened with a night game against Arizona State Teacher's College of Flagstaff— Arizona won 26-2. In addition to the loss of the game, Fresno lost two first string quards, namely; George Demoto and Bud Allen—Allen was lost to the squad for the rest of the season. In the second game, Fresno looked like a different team and beat Whittier 13-12. Whittier later decisively defeated La Verne, who beat Fresno 7-6 in the third practice encounter. The preliminary season showed Fresno to be an in and out team and this fact demonstrated itself throughout the entire season. Fresno started the Conference race the following week and looked like champions by drubbing San Jose 32-0 in the last night game." Frenchy DeChaine and Joe Bacolini, two diminutive halfbacks, provided the sensations of the Spartan struggle. The Nevada game followed and the Bulldogs, minus the services of Captain Dick White, who had been declared ineligible, and Jack Horner left at home with an infected leg, were defeated 31-13 in a startling upset. The third conference game was againstCalifornia Aggies—Hereanother upset occurred and Fresno spilled the dope bucket by defeating the Mustangs 20-7. This surprise win put Fresno back in the Conference race. The next encounter was against Chico. The Bulldogs journeyed to Chico, highly favored and overconfident. The result was a victory for Chico 18 to 6. This defeat put the Bulldogs out of the race for Conference honors. The last Conference game was held Thanksgiving Day in a pouring rain. Fresno reversed once more and defeated the heretofor unbeaten team from C. O. P. 6 to 0. This game was one of the best played all year long. The Bulldogs won more games than any other team, yet finished fifth on account of losing two. A post season game for charity was playe against San Diego. The Aztecs won 15 to 0 in a very poor and loosely played affair. Ted Feichtmeir was honored by being named John f. Hanner, Line Coach AlLConference guard by the Coaches at the close Eighty-Four
