Golf-Nichols, Jameson, Harrison, Anderson, Williams, Mgr. Martin, Fierce, Schaffer, Coach Stribley OLF-With the Bay League Championship to the greensmen's credit, the Stribley quintet is pushing on to repeat the Southern California title, won in 1930. This marks the third consecutive league victory for the golfers. Stepping from the Coast League to the Bay League, the mashie-men had only three league encounters. Pre-season matches included Catalina, Whit- tier and South Pasadena. All these were victories by the score of 3-2. Trav- eling to Santa Monica for the first battle, Nichols, Williams, and Dod came in with wins to catch the match 3-2. Huntington Park was defeated by the locals in a 5-0 barrage. Near par figures upset the Redondo quintet on their home course, and the Bruins pulled a 4-1 count on the Seahawks when Les jameson pulled one from the bag. Captain Joe Nichols, runner up in the National Public Links tournament, played steady at the first position. Curtis Williams, former junior State Amateur Champion, was assigned second man duties. Williams lost only one match during the year. Les C'Ace', Jameson worked his way to third po- sition with his constant improvement at the famous game. Jameson had a brilliant hole in one at Catalina to take honors for the year. Ed Harrison found fourth position to his liking and won often at this post. Kenneth Docl earned his fifth stall, losing only one battle. Fierce substituted. Nichols, Williams, Jameson, and Dod made All Bay League, Harrison made second. Dick Martin filled the managerial role in a satisfactory manner. Coach Stribley should be highly commended for his efficient handling of the team. PAGE 95

The Redondo Sea- hawks gave the Bears their last league defeat. Coach Bert Smith trained the netters at the local courts for the hard season and is credited with turning out a team that fought to the season's end. Jack McClanahan proved himself an all around tennis player and fought off many shutouts for the local courtmen. The netters presented a fairly strong lineup and the season was marked by determined fight on the part of the men through every minute of the losing season.
