Coach Harris
REVIEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON
PLAYING the University of Nevada in the annual
Thanksgiving Day game brought to a c\ose the hardiest
schedule and one of the most successful seasons any
Fresno State Varsity has ever had. Coached by Leo Harris,
the Bulldogs won seven games out of the ten game contest.
Perhaps the highlights of the gridiron season for the 1934
team were the games with the University of Santa Clara
Bronchos, and the College of Pacific Tigers, in which Fresno
State lost to Santa Clara in one of the best games of the
season, and won from the Tigers of the Pacific by a close
margin. The teams San Francisco State, U.S.C. Spartans,
Arizona State, College of Pacific, California Aggies, California Tech and the University of Nevada were all defeated
in 1934 by the Bulldogs of Fresno State.
Walter Byrd, Fresno State's sensational Left Halfback, was given All American honorable
mention by one of the National Press Associations for the 1934 season. Byrd established
one of the longest runs on record in football against Arizona State in Flagstaff on October 1 3th
of one hundred and seven yards.
Starting the season off on September 22 by defeating San Francisco State 33 to 0, the
Bulldogs marched on to upset the U.S.C. Spartans 7 to 6. Fresno took its first set-back at the
hands of the Ramblers of California. Not outplayed by any means, but outscored, the Bulldogs bowed to the U.C. Ramblers 12 to 6 in the third game of the year. Arizona State|fell
by the score of 26 to 14 before the onrushing Bulldogs while the Tigers of the College of the
Pacific were the next victims of a 7 to 6 score. Fresno winning its first conference game
tackled the Broncos of Santa Clara and lost 19 to 0. San Jose State and the CaliforniaVKggies
were next on the schedule. San Jose held Fresno to a 7 to 7 tie while the Bulldogs chalked
up a score of 40 to 1 3 over the Aggies. California Tech was crushed 66 to 0 while the Wolves
of Nevada were trounced 33 to 0 in the last game of the season before ten thousand Thanksgiving Day fans, giving Fresno State and San Jose State a tie for the Far Western Conference
Championship.
Fresno State had no defeats in any of their conference games and held the highest of scoring
honors on the Pacific Coast with a total of 226 points.
The Bulldogs will lose three valuable men when the 1935 season rolls around. They are:
Honorary Captain Pharis, Spivey, and Van Osdel. The
loss of these men will be felt keenly as all were stars in their
respective positions. Honorary Captain Pharis of the 1934
team in his position at right guard was a pillar in the forward
wall and was chosen all conference guard for last season.
Spivey, who was a crack end for three seasons, ended his
playing days in that same position having been placed on the
All Conference teams for the past two years. Van Osdel,
playing fullback, was one of the greatest punters ever to
attend Fresno State College. It was Bill who kept CO.P.
in their own territory throughout that game last year and also
Bill who made the point which won the Pacific game for
Fresno. Van Osdel was also named All Conference fullback for the 1934 season.
Next season Coach Leo Harris will guide the football
destinies of Fresno State through the hardest schedule any RoyNiswander
