of Season Earl H. Wight Stanley E. Borleske THE annual Thanksgiving Day game with the University of Nevada brought to a close the hardest schedule that any Bulldog varsity has ever attempted. A new feature was added to the 1932 schedule, and that was a trip East. Enroute to Topeka, Kansas to play an intersectional game with Washburn College, the Bulldogs played a game with Arizona State at Flagstaff. The team played a scoreless tie with Arizona and were soundly beaten by Washburn. The Washburn defeat was partly due to an epidemic of colds which hit the Bulldogs enroute to the East. Another new innovation tried out this year was the broadcasting of the game with Nevada. Through the courtesy of the Fresno Bee, Don Thompson one of the best sports announcers on the Pacific Coast was brought to Fresno to announce the game. In some respects the schedule may have been too difficult as the results show. Only three games were recorded in the Bulldog victory column, two ended in scoreless ties and five were copped by the opposition. Not a very imposing record to be sure, but it did have its bright spots. Two of the Bulldog victories came as a surprise to her followers. These games were the opening battle of the season with the San Diego Marines and a late season clash with Lee Eisan's La Verne Leopards. These were the only games of the season in which the Bulldogs really clicked. The other victory was earned at the expense of the comparatively weak San Francisco State Teachers College. A week after the season closed Coach Borleske who has guided the football destinies of Fresno State for the past four years stepped out of the head coaching job in favor of Leo Harris, who had a very successful season with the Bullpups. Coach Borleske thus closed a four year period of coaching which was very successful on the whole. His 1930 team, which won the Far Western Conference title, was listed among the dozen untied and undefeated teams in the United States. Coach Borleske has developed some very fine players and has been a true sportsman on all occasions. In the future he will coach both Freshmen football and basketball teams. Four men from the 1932 team will be missing when the new season rolls around. They are: Captain Glenn, Mathiesen, Lewis and Feichtmeir. These men will be sorely missed as all were stars in their respective positions. Captain Glenn was regular quarterback for three years. He was a heady signal caller and stellar One Hundred Twenty-four
