Memories from the Past...
This team has been referred to as the "cracker jack" team for there was a surprise in every practice.

Legend has it that this was an easy one to coach. I cannot concur that the coaching help offered periodically by Pecar, Quist and Deal made it all that easy.

Do you remember playing the preliminary game to the Stanford-UCLA varsity game?

I guess I should not bring it up but I made a huge error in lecturing the team in the locker room before the San Jose City game about the pitfalls of overlooking an opponent, and warning them that upsets can happen to anybody. I should have kept my mouth shut because we became victim to an upset. This was the year that Voit manufactured new water polo balls and all schools did not play with the same size ball. Not an excuse, but a fact.
