Tom Mallory was the head coach of the Southern California West Division champions and what many consider the greatest team in Pasadena Junior College history--the 11-0, undefeated 1938 Bulldogs football squad. Mallory's team was explosive, averaging a then school record 33.5 points a game and the offense was led by PJC legend Jackie Robinson. Mallory coached the football team from 1937-1941 and then again from 1946-1948. It was his first tour that proved to be one of the great periods in PCC football history as his teams finished 41-12-1, including a school record undefeated streak of 20 games (19 wins, 1 tie) from 1937-1939. In all, he won 50 games as head coach. In 2016, the '38 PJC football team became the first team to be inducted into the PCC Sports Hall of Fame. Seven of his players are also members of the HOF as individuals. Besides his coaching, Mallory taught physics for 38 years at PJC/PCC. Annually, a PCC scholarship in his name is awarded to a deserving sophomore.
