Boys Sports Track Greatly strengthened by several new athletes, the San Mateo track teams went far in league competition. The 120-lb. squad placed first, completely annihilating all opponents. F irst place winners for the Bearcats in this division were Bob Welcb in the high jump, Mario Costa in the broad jump, Mark Luca in the 50 and 100, Junior Gerig in the 220, and Francis Muhleman in the pole vault. The 110s, bolstered by Alva Collier, sensational high jumper, took second behind Palo Alto. Collier broke two P. A.L. records in this division. In the high jump, his specialty, he soared to a new height of 5 feet 9V2 inches, breaking the former mark by a full seven inches, and in the broad jump leaped 19 feet 4V2 inches to shatter the ancient distance by approximately seven inches. The unlimiteds were a surprise, with many come-through performances. Luther Smith placed first in the high hurdles and second in the lows; Dick Arms won the shot; Elmer Clatt took the pole vault, and Walter Velasco placed in both sprints. Swimming The Bearcat paddlers, under the tutelage of coach Bert Griffin, did creditable work in league competition this year. The unlimiteds, combined with the 130is, finished in second position behind Palo Alto. The llOis were just nosed out of second by Sequoia; while the 1205 finished third. Stalwart performances by Junior Dana, Harry Baehr and Jack Huber helped push the Mateans out in front. Tennm Coach Grifhnis racquet wielders placed second in league play, as well as con- tribUting the outstanding player of the year, Don Selig. Selig went through his matches without losing a set! The doubles combination of Iwao Bando and Ward Mamlok tied for Erst place. Ellsworth Ellis teamed up with Selig to cop high honors in the doubles championships at Stanford. BaseboH Coach Zur L. tBrile Williamson, in his first year as baseball mentor, put out a championship team, but they ran into some tough luck which left them at the seasons end gracing third position. Joe Canzian, Bill Cooks. Nick Caludis, Henry Malinverno and Vaughn Eranosian were batting stars, and Herman Sick, Tim McCoy, and Harry Cahalan turned in some fine work on the mound. Basketball The two heavyweight basketball teams wound up the season in third position, despite the fact the teams fought hard and played well. Bob Walker, 1304b. guard, and Londo Tocchini, varsity captain and forward, were honored by berths on the mythical all-P. A. L. quintets. T H E E L M WWWWWW W m----., --,, - - - ,.
