I Named by the judges to work 1 RIGHTER Forbes' contract as a gym instructor, starting next fall, was approved at Tuesday night's meeting of the high school board of trustees.

No mention that he would also coach football was made at the time. For the past three years Righter has been devoting part of his time as a social science instructor, part as a gym instructor, and the rest as coach of the swimming and football teams. He is not sure whether he will continue coaching the tank teams or not. Five Championships Righter, who has given Burlingame i Peninsula Athletic league championships 1935, 1939, 1940, 1941, and last year's tie with Sequoia indicated that he has been contemplating the move for nearly two years. The retiring mentor starred with the Stanford university football teams of 1919 and 1920 as a center.

and was also named to the all-coast basketball teams during vears. In 1919 he traveled with the Stanford rugby team when it played a Aeries of games in Canada, and a year later was a member of the American rugby team in the Olympic games at Antwerp, Belgium. In 1921 he took over as grid coach at College of the Pacific, and rapidly built the Tiger teams into winning form. In 1930 and 1933 his elevens won the Far Western conference. HP also acted as basketball with the West team in the Monday encounter in Seals stadium between East and West all-stars were Milt Lindberg, Sequoia pitcher.

Marte Formico of Bellarmine, Don Wetterstrom of Fremont. Sunnyvale, and Bob Browne of Santa Clara. Aguilar was not eligible for this selection because he is only a junior. The four players named are seniors. Fans Ten The stocky pitcher of Mexican descent was slated to appear in Santa Clara this afternoon, along with two of his San Mateo teammates, in a second all-star clash between 12 of last night's stars and an East Bay aggregation.

Also named to the team were Jim Trabucco, first baseman, and Tommy Fitzgerald, center fielder. The Northerners, coached by Dan Lac of San Mateo High, lost the first tilt by careless errors: however, the tables were turned in the second game as Aguilar sent ten batters down via the strikeout route.

2b 3 i Used Power System Since taking the Panthers" coaching thirteen years ago, Righter has never had a team finish the season louer than fourth in the eight-team league. Sticking to the old Warner power system, Righter- coached teams, even in their poorest years, have been formidable opponents, and PAL coaches todav heaved a collective sigh of relief over the fact that they will no longer have to contend with Righter's outfits. During his 25 years of coaching, Righter has sent teams into 199 football games. Hir. lads were victorious in 109 of them, lost 76.

and had 14 ties. Broken this gives him a record of 55 wins, 36 losses, and four ties while at Pacific; 54 wins, 40 losses, and 10 ties while at Burlingame. ''Swede has done a wonderful job with our boys," Principal Reynolds said. "Last year he took a mediocre team and built it into a championship outfit, a job that looked almost impossible. He has been a wonderful influence on our boys, and I'm sorry to see him relinquish his coachmg and physical ed work.

But that is his decision, and I'm sure it's for the best." Own Decision Just how well Righter will be able to remain away from the football field is still to be seen. But it is his intention to keep out of the way when Forbes takes over. just hope I can keep my mouth shut," he said, "I'll probably watch Forbes work more than I should, but I'm not (n CMVA inv nrl J. til jkyUlligy LU Jill" vice unless it is sought.

That's the way Manager Hal Stoeven of the San Mateo Blues describes Catcher Bob Cardoza. The Half Moon Bay lad. who saw action in the Philippines during the war as a cavalry officer, is rapidly building himself a reputation with local fans as a smart, heads-up playing backstop.

Here the Times photographer catches Cardoza as he whips his mask off to field a batting practice foul--that round spot in the upper right-hand corner of the picture is not the ball, but a splash on the engraving. Top Batteries to Feature Blues-Ralphs Tilt Sunday Sunday's baseball game at Fitzgerald field should be quite an affair. Besides pitting a top-notch San Francisco team, Ralph's 622 Club, against the San Mateo Blues, who showed signs of potential power last week, the encounter will send two outstanding batteries onto the field at 2:30. For thfe Blues it will be Bud, Guldborg, who has done a fine job' of hurling at times, and Bob Car-i doza. the Blues' speedy blonde backstop.

For the Ralph's, it v.ill be Frankie Martinez, a fast ball pitcher with a good record, and Nini Tornay, catcher, who has been making some of the old- timers sit up and take notice with his style of play. As a catcher, however, Cardoza i is no slouch himself. In fact, at! present Manager Hal Stoeven classifies him as the Blues' most valu- able player. Cardoza, a Half Bay lad now working in a local 1 bank, had his professional career cut short by the war. In I 1941 he played a split season wjthj Tacoma of the Western Internation-i al league and Idaho Falls of the! Pioneer league.

With the advent of war, he joined the cavalry and saw action in the Philippines. He was discharged from the army with a captain's rating. Although batting only sixth in the Blues' averages, a .263. Cardoza is a dangerous man at, the plate, having banged out some near fence busters during the Big Four league here this winter. Tornay is also a hitting catcher, i having a .386 average, according! to Manager Bob Perret of the 622s.

i He is still a student at Galileo high I school. Matean Poloists In S.F. Clash Eric Pedley, the eight-goaler, yesterday shaped up the San Mateo polo lineup for Sunday's top match against Peter Perkins' Bear Creek four at the Golden Gate Park stadium William G. (Bill) Gilmore. the steel tycoon, who owns one of the best stables of race horses and polo ponies in the country, will ride at the forward Xo.

1 position on Ped- team. Gilmore's brash riding and hard hitting will be full scope at that assignment, in the opinion of polo followers. In defensive No.4 spot will be Bob Smith. Peninsula veteran, whose steadiness and accurate mal- leting will be used to ward off scoring" attempts by Perkins and Don Jose Torres Sunday. Pedley himself will be at No.

3 and George Pope al No. 2, giving San Mateo a combination which utilizes'the best qualities of each player. The stables of the San Mateo players will be vanned into San Francisco Sunday morning. Follett Wins Peninsula Play Mrs. Ben Follett yesterday won the Peninsula Country club's la-1 dies' medal play tournament with a net score of 79.
