Notes

^ This was the fifth annual game against San Quentin Prison. All of the games were held within the walls of the prison itself.
^ A game against Occidental had been scheduled for this date. However, several members of the Occidental team came down with food poisoning, so a second game against San Quentin Prison was scheduled.
^ This stadium is the predecessor to the current Mackay Stadium, which was opened for the 1966 season.^[1]
