Schwartz earned first team All-American
honors as a member of Cal’s 1937 team that
played in the Rose Bowl to start the new year.
Perhaps his finest moment came in Pasadena

that opened holes for the likes of Vic Bottari

stole the ball from Stanford’s Jimmy Coffis to
set up a touchdown in Cal’s 13-0 win over its
cross-town rival.
BRIAN TREGGS (2015)
