Modesto ' s three-point lead in the last few minutes was again overcome by four quick baskets just before the final whistle blew. Doe played a great game, breaking through the Bulldog defense time after time to score. Johnson was high man with ten points. SACRAMENTO 39. MODESTO 38 With Modesto again coming from behind to take a four-point lead which she held until two minutes before the end of the game and losing in the last minute of play, this game might be said to resemble either one of the San Mateo encounters except that it was played in a slow, and listless manner, with both teams displaying little teamwork. Schrader and Olson were high point men for Modesto, each accounting for eleven tallies. SACRAMENTO 55. MODESTO -t3 The second Sacramento game was very different than the first one. It was a fast game with the offensive of both teams above par. The Panthers were never headed throughout the game. Olson again was high man for the Pirates with fifteen points. Captain Rohdc was second man with ten. U. C. SECONDS 41. MODESTO 3 9 The University of California 145-pound team was not able to appear and the second string varsity was sent in its place and scored a win over the Pirates in one of the most thrilling games of the season.

MODESTO 37 In a fast, clean game between two evenly matched teams, the 145-pound team from Berkeley romped home with the bacon.
