Ki Trmmwt 18 11 ft, Gmh foe Tim oil Gaels Prove Little Trouble For Spartans 'V XHv -i 1. I fhirDpfpatpH By Berkeley; Oilers Victors 'Jackets Gain Tie With Alameda High In County League By BEN GIULIAXO Berkeley Yenowjacfcets continued their monopoly of the Alameda County Athletic Football League crown yesterday ajternoon as they turned back an invading band of Piedmont Highlanders. 13 to1), to claim a co-championship with the Alameda Hornets. Action elsewhere on yesterday's final card of the season found Richmond waxing its traditional foe from El Cerrito, 20 to 13. in a night fame at the loser's field, and Hayward thumping Albany, 33 to 6, in a day contest at St Mary's High in Berkeley.

The Alameda team, which last week defeated Albany to assure itself of a co-title, was rale yesterday, but took in the Berkeley-Piedmont game to cheer on the Highlanders. FEUILLARD STARS It was Halfback Bill who proved Piedmont's jinx at Bie-i denach' Field. Feuillard. a six-foot: 175-pcunder. accounted for five of; seven intercepted passes and con-; tinually brought the crowd of some 4000 to its feet with his breakaway INCREASE STRING TO 41 The Yellowjackets.

who in win-ring the 27th annual traditional gamp increased their unbeaten skien to 41 games, got off to a 6-to-0 lead in the opening period on a 30-yard pass play from Quarterback Maurice! DuncEn to End Allesandro' and never appeared in serious trouble. Coach Fred Moffett's crew, which outdowned the visitors, 9 to 8, came close to scoring two more tonchddwns. The first, an aerial from Dttncan to Allesandro, was nullified by a five-yard back-field in motion penalty. The paws of Halfback Don Putnam were responsible for further humiliation on the part of the Highlanders when they knocked down an end-zone strike from Duncan to Allesandro. Feuillard.

who should be a stand- nhrcr in nnllcuc, if ho 4amrlsc i a 1 1 i a iiv vt i to continue his schooling, set up Berkeley's final score with 10 sec-ends remaining on the clock when he took a Don Harris toss and crazzy legged" it back 34 yards to the Piedmont six. Fullback Wally Jackson bucked over for the half- cozen digits on tne urst play The whose passing ettack snd pass defense failed to click, threatened to score twice in the game. They moved to the Jacket 10 in the second quarter and then to the 30 the following stanza. However, Berkeley's strong line settled down and prevented any further, penetration. finale at Berkeley.

Other Piedmont players in the picture are Guard Gordon Crura (49), Tackle Ted Connolly (60) and End Lou Young (26). Berkeley players are Guard Don Henderson (63) and End Al Bowers (behind Connolly). Berkeley won the game, 13 to 0. to claim a co-championship with Alameda and stretch its unbeaten string to 41 games. Tribune photo.

And there is quite a bit of carpentry work to be done. The Gaels closedtheir season on a disasterous note when San Jose State's Spartans smashed them. 0-13, before 11.000 fans at Spartan Stadium last night.

It was a case of a so-called major college -being completely outclassed by a minor league opponent. That minor learue tag didn.t fit the Spartans as they poured over touchdowns in every period but the first to swamp the hapless Gaels. St Mary's scored after re-corerinf a fumble in the opening1 period and didn't hit paydirt afain until the final period was half tone. The Spartans earned all their tal lies except one the hard way by 1 plugging and driving ahead on brilliant running by Halfbacks Marv 'Johnson and Harry Russell, plus good quarterbacking and passing from Gene Menges. The one lightning strike by the Spartans came at the opening of the third period as San Jose led.

14-7. Larry Warmack kicked off for the Gaels to begin the second half and the ball settled in the arms of Johnson, who was waiting on his one-yard line. GOES 99 YARDS Johnson darted forward and then cut to the right to pick uo interfer ence. Getting up to the Spartan 30, he cut back across the field to the left sidelines. Warmack dove for him on the Gael 25.

and End Dan McGeehan made a futile grab as he streaked across the five-yard line to no avail. Johnson's touchdown in the first 20 seconds of the half seemed to take the heart of the Gaels. Fred Silva kicked the extra point to give the Spartans a 21-7 lead. Spartan Woody Lynn then tried an onside kickoff which worked when Gael Guard Will Sullivan reached for the low kick and batted it back towards the Spartans. Harley Dow recovered for San Jose on the Gael 46.

It took the Spartans six plays and tree1 again, with minutes to score again, with Kussell finally going OVM Gael 0ne-vard line. Al- Ithough the Spartans tallied again in I the same quarter the game was then out of sight of the Gaels. Actually, the Gaels were no match for San Jose, either on the ground or in There was no concerted anv'e trmea to either bt. Mary, touchdown, whiie the Spartans be- sides tneir touendown anves came close to the Gael goal on two other occasions. Once, they fumbled on the St Mary's 10-yard line.

On another occasion, a Menges pass was intercepted on the Gael 11. SETS UP TOUCHDOWN Packard Harrington, outstanding Gael line-backef who plaved his final game for the Gaels last night. set up the first St. Mary's touchdown when he recovered a pitchout from Menges to Buddy Traina that went over Traina's head and landed on the Sp. -tan 18.

Gael Halfback Frank Cassara hit right guard for three, and Halfback Glen Bell gained another three at tackle and four at guard. Cassara gave the Gaels a first down on the Spartan seven by crashing center and then hit center for another two. Bell went through a hole In left tackle, slipped slightly on the slip-; pery, wet turf, and dove into the end sone for the first Gael TD i with two and one-half minutes remaining in the first quarter. Loo Bradvica's conversion kick pat the Gaels into a 7-0 lead. Quarterback Harry Atkinson and Halfback Dave Marcelli teamed up furarrlli Marcelli intercepted a pass by Menges on the Gael 27-yard line, and carried it back to San Jose's 45.

Atkinson shot a spot pass out to McGeehan on the Spartan 30 for a first down, and Fullback Bill Bare hit guard for four. MARCELLI SCORES Still 23 yards from paydirt, Atkinson tossed a long one to Marcelli in the end rone over the head I of Spartan Halfback Gil Mendonsa. Bradvica's kick was wide, but the Spartans were safe anyway with a 33-13 lead. Now for the remaining San Jose touchdowns. Early in the second quarter the Spartans- completed a drive that traveled 81 yards in 17 days.
