ATHLETICS I. Men ' s Sports II. Women ' s Sports Importance of physical as well as mental development among students has long been recognized by direc- tors of the Chaffey system. In conse- quence one may find the college equipped with the most modern and complete facilities for student partici- pation in sports. Although definitely secondary in importance to academic achieve- ment, athletics occupy an important position on the Chaffey campus. From the opening whistle of the first football game until the end of the last track meet, interest of the major part of the student body follows its athletes. Little-publicized, the women ' s phy- sical education department under the direction of Miss Orra Mabon is nevertheless an active group. Every woman in the college is offer- ed an opportunity to enjoy and learn the fundamentals of swimming, ten- nis, basketball, and dancing as well as archery during her regular physi- cal education period. For the most interested and active students, the Women ' s Athletic As- sociation provides the chance for team and individual participation in a variety of out-of-class sports. Con- tacts with similarly-interested women of other colleges come at Play-days. Always in the limelight, men ' s sports come in for a much larger share of attention. A successful 1938- ' 39 season has increased enthusiasm. Student support reached a new high with the inauguration of noon rallies, initiation of an organized rooting section, and the appearance of an enlarged attendance at all games. Perhaps no greater tribute can be paid to the athletic department than to say that it has succeeded in creat- ing genuine college spirit. Loyalty to the college and comradeship among students are the natural re- sult of a situation in which hundreds of men and women meet together, packed on bleachers, fighting for a single cause — Chaffey. Highlights of the year have includ- ed the first out-of-state trip made by the football team since 1931; a cham- pionship game with San Bernardino when 7,000 fans overflowed onto temporary bleachers to witness a heart-breaking 7-6 defeat; the second annual junior-college basketball tournament held here in which the Panthers placed second after a dra- matic close; the series of basketball play-offs with Fullerton, the decath- lon, and the initiation of intra-mural games to replace baseball. For the players, this year has brought an unusual number of hon- ors; for the coaches it has meant the satisfaction of developing teams rec- ognized for their sportsmanship as well as their skill; for the entire school it has given another basis for the recognition of Chaffey superior achievement.

FOOTBALL By losing the San Ber- nardino game, the Chaf- fey Panther football team, captained by Lester Terry, finished second in the Or- ange Empire conference, the surprise team in the Eastern division. Terry and Jack Van Beek were named on the all-southern California junior college elevens. Rolling up 97 points to conference oppo- nents ' 21, the Panther ma- chine, coached by Burt Heiser and his staff, was one of the finest ever turn- ed out at Chaffey. PRACTICE GAMES — Playing only one pre- season contest, Chaffey downed the U. C. L. A. Freshmen, 7-0. Late in the first quarter Henry Van Ginkle broke through the defense and blocked a punt.
