BULLDOG BARK
Much of this year's grid season tor the Fresno State CoUege
Battlln' Bulldogs could be described by a few cllche's, namely—
"thaie  the way  the ball bounces," or If you wish, "you win a few.
And tor coach Phil Krueger and his staff It was Just this kind of
year, a year of anxiety after anxiety. It was a year that started fast,
bogged down and then plcked-up enough steam to carry the Bulldogs
to their first winning season,6-4, since 1962 (7-3).
Fresno started the season with a loss to Colorado University,
10-7, but lost In Impressive fashion; It was a loss in the statistic
books but a morale victory for a squad which started with five new
men on Its offensive unit and eight new men on the defensive unit...
a team without depth, a big team but one that could have been of
championship quality or a conference door mat.
Most of this year's play spoUlghted Krueger's Marauders (FSC's
defensive unit), which was led by such standouts as Lincoln Marin!,
Dave   Plump,   BUI  Wllsey  and Gary Cohagan, Just to name a few.
Fresno' defensive eleven finished second In overall defense In the
California Collegiate Athletic Association and first In pass defense.
Some say FSC should have ended the season with a 8-2 record.
We have to agree.
The only team to handily defeat the Bulldogs was a strong San
Diego State College crew, winning 26-7, otherwise Fresno lost three
games that they should have won by a total of seven points (Los
Angeles   State,   17-15,   Long   Beach,   14-12  and  Colorado   10-7).
It looked as though Fresno would bo off and running to a fast as
well as successful year with three straight victories after its opening
Local fan Interest really began mushrooming after FSC all but
whitewashed tho hapless Washburn University Ichabods, 54-0, followed
by their 25-10 victory over the Bobcats of Montana State.
Then Just as fast as It started, Fresno began to bog down. Taking
a seventh rated spot (on the national polls) Into the Cal Poly encounter,
FSC had to hang on to barely edge tho Mustangs 20-14 and as a
result droppod to ninth.
Then disaster really struck the Bulldog squad, losing their next
three successive games to LA, SD, and LB.
A winning season for Krueger began to look dim as the Bulldogs
had to win their last three games. M ist thought that the best that
FSC could do would be a 5-5, but Fresno did win their last three
encounters and Incidentally handled San Jose State, a team nobody
thought Fresno could beat, with surprising ease, but then stumbled
past tho University of Hawaii, 7-3 to close the season.
In retrospect, Krueger said that If tho games were to be played
again,   with   tho   same   situations   arising,   ho  would play them the
