THE GALLEON Boys' Sports lfffg,,Ifl,LL In reviewing the fall athletic season of 1933, Balboa enjoyed a mediocre term of inter-school athletic competition. Football, which is the major sport during the fall season, ran through a fairly successful campaign, winning one Academic Athletic Association game from Sacred Heart and battling to a scoreless tie with Lowell, to receive a possible chance for fourth MR. cztmuct place in the nnal A.A.A. standings. Handled by Coach Walter Lester, the Buccaneers won their initial practice engagements by defeating Jefferson and Burlingame in the early season games. Soccer This term, as in the past, lightweight sports upheld the superiority of MR.I.lilTll Balboa in 120 and ll0-pound basketball and l20-pound soccer. The lightweight cage squads, with Coach Lloyd Leith at the helm. are both in positions to win the city championships in their respective divisons, as the journal goes to press. Each team is credited with thirteen victories, com- pared to one defeat. The ten's only set back came at the hands of Lowell, in their fourth league combat, which put them in a tie with the Cardinals, Basketball 1i4,EibI3hSTER who dropped a game to their Polytechnic rivals. Balboa's only chance for a championship in the twenties division will come if the strong Mission High team gets knocked over, which will give the Buccaneers another turn to grasp the Triple A title. MR. SCOTT Football Coach John Clarke's 120-pound soccer boys closed their 1933 season by finishing in second place. Since Coach Clarke has been teaching light- weight soccer at Balboa, no team has ever Hnished lower than second place in the league finals, while twice his fighting l 10-pound teams have brought city championships to the school. Besides these two outstanding athletic achievements, no other team, major or minor, 0 has won a city title except the 1932 120-pound basketball squad. In unlimited soccer, the orange and blue landed in a tie for last place among the A.A.A. schools. One accomplishment that might be boasted is the double triumph over the Galileo Lions by Balboa, which was the first time in the school history that both Buccaneer unlimited and 120-pound teams have been victorious upon the same occasion. Although not a recognized league sport, freshman-sophomore football, coached by Mr. Ray Scott, proved quite popular in its third year of existence at Balboa. Many outstanding boys were discovered and should develop into strong varsity material next year. 0 Meeting and defeating Commerce, Sacred Heart, Mission, and the Jefferson reserves showed that Balboa might attain a higher spot in the A.A.A. race for grid laurels in 1934. O Balboa's varsity and 130-pound basketball teams have been holding practice during the fall semester with hopes of placing among the leaders in the league finals during the 1934 season. Coached by Mr. Leith, whose great success with basketball has made him a recognized coach in the city, the Buccaneers are looked upon as an outstanding team for the A.A.A. honors. . 29

THE GALLEON O 0 O C C ? f ' 'P if Varsity Football Starting the 1933 football season with hopes of taking a higher spot among A.A.A. high school grid teams, Balboa's varsity eleven failed to place in the first division. With Coach Walt Lester directing the team for the fourth consecutive year, the orange and blue, with only one more remaining league game as the journal goes to press, is in a position for fourth place in the final Academic Athletic Association standings. Aided by the services of Mervin Mitterwallner, a former Big Ten All-American guard from Illinois, in the line, the Buccaneer forward wall showed greater strength during the 1933 season. BALBOA 20--JEFFERSON 6 With only a week's practice, the Balboa Buccaneers opened their preleague COACH LESTER season against the strong Jefferson High gridiron warriors, and after trailing in the first quarter, 6 to 0, Coach Lester's boys put on enough power and speed to win handily. The initial Balboa score resulted on a pass from Giannini to Cantwell, who shifted from tackle to end on the play. Cantwell added the extra point on a place kick. Two more touchdowns came, when Giannini, in the third quarter, after a sustained Buccaneer offensive drive, cracked over center for a tally from the three yard-mark. Balboa's final touchdown registered on a toss from Giannini to Hurley, with Cantwell's trusty toe furnishing the extra point. BALBOA 7-BURLIN GAME 0 After being outplayed consistently in all departments throughout the first half, the Buccaneers, displaying a sterling goal line defense against the strong Panther eleven, came back in the last period to march seventy yards to a score, with Giannini finally going over 'for the touchdown. Cantwell added the extra marker. BALBOA 6-PIEDMONT 18 Minus the services of the first string men in most positions, the orange and blue lost a hard fought battle to the Piedmont Highlanders, A. C. A.
