Notes[]

  1. ^ California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) was located in San Dimas, California and known as Cal Poly Voorhis Unit from 1938 to 1956. However, it was more commonly known as Cal Poly (San Dimas).
  2. ^ The footnote PDF published by the Cal Poly Pomona athletic department, and available on their website, lists an additional 1956 game against the University of San Diego. However, the USD media guide does not list that game, and a newspaper article in the Los Angeles Times published after the Nov. 16 game says that their final record was 6‐2.
  3. ^ This stadium is the predecessor to the current Ted Runner Stadium on the University of Redlands campus, which was opened for the 1968 season
