Amidst much enthusiasm the champions completed their successful day at a banquet at the ,Key Route lun, given by Mr. Nartin. Plans and preparations were immediately set on foot for the Stockton trip the following Saturday. Everyone was greatly elated over our pirates' unequalled record, and looked forward to further honors on the San Joaquin. At six-forty-five on the morning of November fourth, eight machines met at Twenty-second and lflroadway, where the crew and many loyal sup- porters departed for Stockton. Upon arriving at their destination a few hours later, the machines were directed to the Stockton High School where a most hospitable welcome awaited. ln the morning a game between Stock- ton l-ligh and Modesto was witnessed. At noon an excellent lunch was served in the l-ligh School Cafeteria. A team from the Oakland High Schools was picked to play the Stockton team, and a very exciting exhibition of rugby took place, in which the home team was the victor. Following this the crowd of onlookers proceeded to Lake Yosemite, where the different aquatic events were to be staged. Here again the University crew proved itself invincible by defeating, in the drizzling rain, a picked crew from Vocational and Technical. lin the final race of the day a picked crew of all the best rowers present finished three boat-lengths behind the Blue and Gold oars. The crew was royally entertained by the Stockton fellows at their homes for dinner, and then a delightful dance was held at the school gym, The whole trip was one of great pleasure, and we greatly appreciate the hospitality shown by Stockton. VVith the winning of the Regatta and races at Stockton, we feel certain that the crew's work at this odd time of the year has been entirely worth while, for it shows more than ever what the University High School, and more especially what the crew, under the leadership of Captain Martin, can and will do in the future. NORRIS NASH, June '17. Basketball HE fall basketball season seems to have been rather unsuccessful, as far as our team is concerned, on account of the lack of a gymnasium for practice. lmmediately after the close of the football season, a practice was called at the Home Club gymnasium, and about a dozen men out of the thirty enrolled showed up. A few other practices have been held, from time to time since then, and although there have been few men at hand, the team has made a fairly good showing, under the able coaching of Captain Dutch Gilsenan. The First practice game was lost to Richmond High School on the nght of Friday, the twenty-fourth. Although playing a good game from start to finish, our men were handicapped by lack of weight, lack of practice, and injuries received during the game. Dutch, playing at center, a position to which he is a stranger, was'the star of the game for U. H. S., while Walter Reed also gave the spectators many thrills.
