Broncos Embark for First Bowl Gam• • •

33-Man SquadTo Carry BJCI-Iopes Victory

Boise's Broncos left for Bakers-field, Calif, at 9 a.m. Tuesdaymorning to begin a trip that isunprecedented in Boise Junior col-lege sports annals. The 33 mansquad, accompanied by Coach LyleSmith traveled to Winnemuccaby bus and spent the night atNevada's famed Sonoma inn. Theteam will then board the stream-liner "City of San Francisco" forthe remainder of the trip. Theywill be given a few hours sight-seeing time in the city of the Gold-en Gate and are scheduled to ar-rive in Bakersfield early Thursdaymorning. Coach Smith has arrang-ed for the team to workout en-route.

The Kern County Shrine club isin charge of pre-game and half-time activities. To add to the colorand gaiety of the occasion, ar-rangements have been made formore than 12 bands to participatein addition, the identities of thePotato Bowl Queen and her aideswill be disclosed during the half-time ceremonies.Both Fine Teams

Both these fine JC teams comeinto this game sporting outstand-ing season records although Boise'swin streak of 30 consecutive gamescannot be matched by any JC inthe nation.

The Taft Cougars finished theirregular season with a 7 won, 1lost record. They attained theirspot in the Potato Bowl on theflip of a coin after they had bat-tled Bakersfield to a 13-13 tie.Taft will field a T-formation teamthat boasts a line averaging 207pounds and is anchored by 225-pound Bill Kelley and 210-poundDale Hutchins at the guard spots.

The Cougars are sparked in thebackfield by Bob Burleson at quar-terback, who is rated one of thebest passers in the All-CaliforniaJC league, and Gene Taft, All-California junior college halfback.Taft, running from the left-half po-sition; has been the leading scorerand most consistent ground gainerfor the Cougars this season. TheCougars play a wide-open, crowdpleasing brand of ball, employingmany pitchouts, laterals and aer-ials.

VIC...OBY OB BErEA""ord in the nation, will probablyretaliate with their usual startingline-up of Allen Jackson, 208, andTom Reed, 170, at ends; DonDeasy, 220, and Dave Frazier, 205,at tackles; Harry Howerton, 195,and Jim Sponsler, 195, at guards;Dick Patterson, 197, is off the in-jured list now and will probably beready to go as the starting centerin the backfield. Boise may openwith Bob Agee, 200, at quarter-back, Earl Williams, 158, or BillMoore, 185, at left-half; Dick Bad-er, 178, at full-back and Ed Troxel,180, at right-half.

Coach Lyle Smith, on his returnto Boise after watching Taft inaction in their 13-13 tie with Bak-ersfield, voiced this opinion, "Wewill have to play our best gameof the season in order to beatTaft. They will have a decidedweight advantage In the line andthe backfield is faster than anyteam we have played this season.If the boys play the game of whichthey are capable, then we have aneven chance to win the PotatoBowl." He also said the line playwill probably decide the game.Rooters Feel Secure

Boise rooters who have viewedthe fighting Bronco forward wall inaction can't help but feel a littlemore secure. The front line Broncshave ripped gapping holes in op-posing lines all season long andthis will certainly not be the firsttime they have been outweighed upfront.

The Broncos will be placing theirwin streak on the "chopping block"for the 10th time this season, and~he team members, Who fUlly real-ize that this is probably the tough-est assignment any BJC squad everhad, feel quietly confident thatthey can emerge the Victors.
