THE STUDENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL The Student Affairs Council is the authorized governing group of the California Polytechnic school student body. Through this group, all major problems of the Associ- ated Students, not involving policy, are handled. All important decisions are open for general ratification. It is the duty of the council to prepare the student body budget, appropriate money for payment of the bills incurred, prepare for presentation any amendments to the con- stitution and by-laws, and handle the general executive functions. The Council is made up with one member from each recognized campus organiza- tion, and one member for each twenty-five students in a major department. The student president is the ex-officio head of the Council, and other student body officers serve in their respective capacities on this governing board. The Council meets alternate weeks with student body meetings. In the picture, front row, from the left, E. Wiley, M. Libonati, Vice-President C. Cook, M. Williams, E. Sales, T. Tait, G. Barneby, L.

We started the year by building an office and photographic dark room in the basement of Deuel Dorm. The administration cooperated in furnishing these quarters. The office is supplied with adequate furniture, in- cluding a radio. These rooms have served not only as a place in which the El Rodeo could be compiled, but as a social room for the staff members. The Press Club members plan a celebration on the day the El Rodeo is distributed. In the picture, front row, from the left, S. Frantz, Editor Ed Wiley, T. McGrath. Second row, H. Boltz, F. Ringler, M. West, H. Wineroth, N. Heikes. THE CAFETERIA-DORMITORY COMMITTEE The Cafeteria-Dormitory Committee is the student branch of the administration of dining hall and dormitory affairs. It is charged with recommending general campus rules pertaining to the operation of the four student halls and the cafeteria. All “squawks” were taken to this committee for investigation, and recommendations were made to the administrative office for improvement of services. During the year, Paul Bjurman, rep- resentative of Heron Hall, left college and was replaced on the committee by Bill Hel- phinstine. In the picture, front row, from the left, B. Ellis, Capt. J. C. Deuel, C. Cook, S. Frantz. Second row, W. Helphinstine, E. Schwander, 0. F. Lucksinger, Mrs. Clara King. THE HORTICULTURE CLUB The Horticulture Club, for students majoring in landscaping, has had an active year. Functions have included participation in the Poly Royal, with an exhibit of plans of landscaped homes, displays of va- rious plant materials and a plant identification contest for the women visitors. The various social events have been stag affairs, and much enjoyed. A one-day field trip was taken to Santa Barbara to visit the extensive hemes and large estates. Next year, the Club plans visits to the Golden Gate International Exposition at San Francisco to see the fine landscaping which is programmed.

POLY “Y” CLUB Purpose of the Poly “Y” Club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the col- lege and community, high standards of Christian character; to promote clean speech, clean sport, clean scholarship and clean life among its members and fellow students. Its activities this year opened with a combined meeting with the Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo Jaysee “Y” groups. During the year, meetings were held either Sunday morning or Wednesday evening. Speakers included Hubert Seamans of the local junior high school staff, Tom Elliott, Dr. D. G. Kelker. Howard Christman and the adviser, M. C. Martinsen. The oustanding event was held in March when the Poly “Y” entertained the Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo Jaysee “Y” groups, the San Luis high Girls Re- serve, the Associated Women’s Club of the San Luis Jaysee and the San Luis high Hi-Y. The tri-county secretary, Merle Waterman, presided with his usual wit and humor. In the picture, front row, from the left, K. Carter, K. Root, L. Frame, E. Ford, Secretary- Treasurer W.

While its purpose is the serious one of en- deavoring to encourage and reward outstanding students, its activities are largely so- cial. Annually, the first event of the season is the Homecoming Breakfast the Sunday morning after the Homecoming game, for all graduates of the fraternity. Another event was a party held at Cambria Pines Lodge. Six new members were taken in at the end of the first quarter, and five at the end of the second quarter. A dinner dance in honor of the initiates was held at the Morro Beach Inn. In the picture, front row from the left, E. Danbom, F. Alley, E. Wettstein, J. Nagle, L.Stennett, P. McDonald, J.Gilli.

JESPERSEN DORMITORY CLUB Members of the Jespersen Dormitory Club took pride this year in the fact that their living quarters had been given a thorough renovating. They endeavored during the year to show appreciation of the fact by treating their shining domicile with respect, and impressing the necessity for such action, on the freshmen. The group managed to solve its own little problems during the year with the aid of the dormitory superinten- dent, M. C. Martinsen. In the picture, front row, from the left, W. Baldwin, F.

VI Ml JESPERSEN DORMITORY gfji DEUEL DORMITORY CLUB Members of the Deuel Dormitory Club take pride in the fact that they are living in the first one of the four dormitories on the campus. In later years, it was re-named after Capt. Joseph C. Deuel, present dormitory superintendent and director of physical edu- cation. The association in the dormitory has led to much pleasant fellowship, and where you see one Deuel man on the campus, you generaly find half the dorm near by.

The hall is named in honor of the veteran faculty member. Miss Margaret Chase, completing her 30th year here this year. Most of the dormitory residents are second and third-year men, which made the lives of the freshmen miser- able. Among the events for the frosh were pushing peanuts down the sidewalk with their noses, and the “raps” when they tried to sneak by without their “dinks.” In the picture, front row, from the left, T.

Team managers and the yell leader are invited to membership but cannot hold office. Principal ac- tivity of the society each year is the initiation held in the mountains at Arroyo Seco, and the dance. The latter was held in January, with the college gymnasium decorated in a South Seas atmosphere of swaying palm trees, grass huts, ’n everything. The Arroyo Seco trip was made over the Memorial Day week-end, and everyone enjoyed himself im- mensely with the exception of the initiates, who particularly appreciated the last day after the ceremonies were over.

It was organized last year to create good will, bring together men of the same ideals and ideas, and make possible the exchange of thought beneficial to mem- bers individually. Social events included a dance at Motel Inn, a pledge dance at Morro Beach Inn, and numerous stag and beach parties. It is hoped that from this local society, a national organization of men studying the engineering and installation of air conditioning equip- ment, may some day be established.

THE “COLLEGIANS” The development of the college dance band, “The Collegians,” was the result of the necessity for having a versatile music group available for student entertainment and campus social functions. Requests for outside appearances have followed the success of the “Collegians” during the two years of their existence, with engagements filled from King City to Carpenteria and offers received for summer employment. Many members are returning next year, so that little change of personnel will be necessary. The dance band has developed a style of its own under the direction of the head of the music de- partment, Harold P. Davidson, and the student leader and manager, Jack O’Brien.

THE VARSITY BAND The Varsity Band provided an activity for those of musical tal- ent, and gave the student body a “pep” organization for all its as- semblies, rallies, football and basketball games, and many other public events including the Homecoming celebration, the Poly Royal, the state Future Farmers of America convention, and similar events. The regular band was limited to about fifty players, with excellent quality noted in the greater student enrollment from which to draw talent. Drum Major Evins Naman contributed much to the marching and formation technique of the band, while Director Harold P. Davidson worked on the music instruction.

THE VARSITY GLEE CLUB The Varsity Glee Club was expanded this year as one of the music service organizations for student activi- ties. It added two functions which it hopes to make an- nual traditions: A tour of high schools, and a Home Concert. Talent from the Glee Club made up the principal part of the music features of the program over the local radio station, KVEC, held each Tuesday noon. Quartets also sang over stations at Los Angeles, San Jose and Santa Barbara. Thirty-two members took part in the first tour, which began April 4 at Taft and continued with thirteen stops to Gustine, in Merced county. A varied program of class- ical, humorous and popular songs was presented at each high school, with skits, stunts and explanatory talks about the college. Another event of the year was the appearance at Oakland before representatives of 150 social, civic and professional organizations and about 1000 members of “Y” groups in the Bay area. The Home Concert was presented early in May before a record-break- ing crowd in the high school auditorium. Other high spots of the year were appearances before the Minerva club of Santa Maria, the Rotary, Monday and Schoolmasters’ clubs of San Luis Obispo; the “Y” con- ference at Paso Robles, Homecoming, the Poly Royal, Public Schools week, the High School Teachers’ institute and a full program over KVEC.

THE POLY POULTRY PRODUCERS Poultrymen don’t like wet winters such as we experienced a few months ago, but in spite of everything, the P. P. P. man- aged to break quite a few records in membership, and in pro- duction. The club sponsored a student body “Turkey Day” Hop, with harvest moon, cornstalks, ’n everything. Next came a turkey banquet, giving the alumni from nearby an opportun- ity to become acquainted with a new instructor in the depart- ment, Howard Hawkins, and to renew friendship with the department head, Richard I. Leach. In addition, numerous field trips were held during the year. Heading the headlines of the Poly Royal show was “D 309,” a Single-Comb White Leghorn in the project of Phil Berger of Los Angeles, who on the second day of Poly Royal broke the world’s record of continuous lay by producing her 212th egg per day without a miss.

Among its activities this year were field trips to El Centro, Los Angeles, the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, the San Francisco bay re- gion and the William Randolph Hearst ranch. Many successful dairy farms were visited. Principal home activity during the year is conduct by the students, of the San Luis Obispo county Farm Bureau Cow Testing Association. All samples are taken and tests made by members of the college dairy club. Boys in the club own a total of 23 animals as foundations for their own herds. Some of the animals have made high records. In the annual Poly Royal, students showed their own animals and those from the project herd which is entirely cared for by the dairy majors. James Pappas walked ofT with the championship dairy animal—a heifer of his own. The final social event of the year is a dance, to which all the student body is invited.

Motion pictures have shown the agrestic agriculture of foreign countries and the specialized farming of the United States. Speakers have included prominent agricultural commissioners, research men, professors of agricul- ture and heads and members of bureaus and divisions in the state and federal departments of agriculture. The annual field trip was made this year to the San Joaquin valley and thence north to Sacramento. Among the many stops was the state depart- ment of agriculture, where bureau officers spoke to the boys in each division. In reviewing the year, the members of the club find it difficult to imagine: Wilbur Kinney passing up a chance to take a civil service examination. The monthly “Student-Inspector” coming out on time. Marshall Munneke combing his hair. Charles Cook keeping quiet during class. John Gangl making a speech. Norman Brown (Prexy) getting to the meetings on time. Angus Mackenzie not going around with both eyes looking like bal- loons from bee stings. Mel Stover not debating about milk testing. W. E. Court shooting a “72” in golf. Avon Carlson speaking for less than 30 minutes. Weir Fetters declining a chance to talk at the Toastmasters’ Club.

Principal activities for the year have been in showing the members’ own project live- stock at the various agricultural fairs. The season opened at Sacramento with Poly entries tak- ing a first in Hereford steers, two firsts in Shorthorns and two firsts and a championship (Eugene Bridgefsrd’s) in Angus. At the Los Angeles county fair at Pomona, the Boots and Spurs boys made their first entries this year, taking a first and champion in Hereford steers (Leon Benjestorf), first in sheep and first pen of lambs. Then came the Great Western at Los Angeles, with a first in Hereford steers, a first and three seconds in Short- horns, a first in fat lambs and a first in fat barrows. At the Poly Royal, the livestock entries attracted plenty of attention. Bill Dooley showed grand champion beef animal, Robert Dove grand cham- pion swine and Marvin Danley grand champion sheep. Boys showed both their own fat market stock, and breeding stock of their own and the school herd. The last show of the season was the Interstate Junior at South San Francisco, where the boys made almost a clean sweep in steers. Prizes in- cluded two firsts, one second and two thirds in Herefords; a first, two sec- onds and two thirds in Shorthorns; and two firsts, two seconds and one third in Angus. Earl Foor showed champion Hereford which was champion of the advanced division; Craig Tebbe champion Shorthorn and Leo Fitzgerald champion Angus, all of the advanced division. Marvin Danley took first individual and pen of crossbred lambs and had champion lamb of the ad- vanced division. Other Boots and Spurs winnings at this show included first individual and pen in Hampshire lambs. John Carricaburu took first and Jim Nagle second in showmanship. Among the big business deals of the year were purchase of a carload of feeder calves from Peter Friis of Hollister by Earl Foor, Aldo Tognetti and Stanton Lynn; and purchase of twenty stockers from John Layous of King City by Bill Helphinstine, Hugh Dangers, Andy Witmer and Shigeo Yam an a. P’ield trips were made to the San Julian, Santa Rita, Eagle, Biaggini, Santa Margarita and Dos Pueblos ranches. The big tragedy was when the original picture for El Rodeo was lost by the photographer and the accom- panying one taken when many members were unable to be present.

THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America organization is a national society for young men preparing to enter agri- cultural occupations and being trained in institutions conducted under the Smith-Hughes plan for vocational agricultural education. The California Polytechnic chapter is the headquarters and service chapter for 162 others in the state. At Cal Poly also is an alumni F. F. A. chapter made up entirely of young men who have attained the “State Farmer degree. This is affiliated with the state alumni association of the F. F. A. The fall activities opened with the regular initiation of Future Farm- ers and Greenhands. This was followed by the “fun night,” in which members participated in wrestling and boxing. The Poly Royal open house show is now an all-college event, but as it was established by the F. F. A. six years ago and sponsored by them for some time, a considerable part of the responsibility still falls on this organization. This year, thousands of visitors from all over the state came for the two-day agricultural and industrial show. The next big event was entertaining more than 800 boys here for the state Future Farmer convention and judging contests. Setting up 120 army tents and caring for the visitors during the busy three days kept every boy on his toes. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the annual Barn Dance, with plenty of “whiskerinos” in evidence. The year closed with the chapters (active and alumni) looking forward to another busy season next fall. In the picture, front row, from the left, Adviser C. G. Beck, J. F. Merson, H. Wilson, R.

ENGINEER -v f THE AERO CLUB The Aero Club progressed to the largest mem- bership in its history this year. Meetings were held once every two weeks, when students gave talks on subjects pertaining to the aeronautical industry. One of the first activities was the initiation of entering aero freshmen. The initiation was held at Oceano among the high sand dunes. High spots were the unforgettable odor of venerable eggs and ancient tomatoes, and the “Big Apple danced on a steel plate connected to a booster magneto. Club members made their annual industry trip to the Los Angeles Air Show and plants, in April. Factories visited included Vultee, Lockheed, North American and Goodyear tires. Senior aero drafting majors visited the engineering department at Vultee’s. Evenings were given over to en- tertainment. Among the numerous construction and repair jobs done dur- ing the year have been work on a Curtiss Junior, and rebuilding a Great Lakes ship for Ed Lauppe, Poly grad. At the year’s close, most of the men were seeking either summer employment or permanent jobs. A number had been successful in landing jobs with major concerns.

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF JUNIOR AIR CONDITIONING ENGINEERS m The A. S. J. A. C. E., or in brief, the Air Conditioning Club, is an organization for all students majoring in this field. During the year, about 35 new members were duly initiated into the organization. During meetings of the society, subject-matter talks were given on technical phases. Some of the club mem- bers’ talks were, “Freon as a Refrigerant, by Ray Peck- ham; “Weaving Mills and Air Conditioning, by LeRoy Naman; “Sewage Disposal Problems, by Evins Naman, and “Air Conditioning Trains and Buses, by Jim McGrath. Various socials and dances were given by the society during the year. At the close of the year, the society experienced its first “losses, since the newly-established department was ready to place in employment its first graduates. Many of the second-year men were being placed during the latter weeks of school. In the picture, front row, from the left, E. Wiley, E. Trafton, S. Frantz, D. Anderson, F. Cantrill, E. Ford, J.

Guariulli, Null. Roger� . FOOTBALL Each year the team seems to face a tougher schedule than ever before and this year proved to be no exception. Coach Howie O’Daniels, blessed with several returning lettermen and many good newcomers, but with only a short time before the first game of the season, set to work to build a winning machine to carry on the spirit of the Green and Gold. A strong line of returning lettermen came back as a unit but the back field positions as a whole were wide open. The center of the line was especially well blessed, with Null, a rugged veteran from last year, and Wineroth a transfer from Modesto at center, and Du- sina, Schwander, Snow and Lawrence, all lettermen, at guards. The tackle positions were rather weak in reserves, with Clark and Chuck Agbashian the only re- turning lettermen. Howie soon shaped “Tank” Dixon and Paul Bjurir.an into two excellent reserves. Pitt, Van Horn and Dusina came bock to fill the end positions and with the addition of a newcomer, Chapman, the position was pretty well fortified. Cook, an end from last year, was shifted to quarter to hack up Gabe Saenz, a veteran of whose ability Howie had no doubt. Bob Garcia, triple threat man; George Silva, diminutive swivel-hipped back; Rios, a veteran of many seasons; and Bill Dooley, a great show- man, showed up again at half. Outstanding among the newcomers was Elmer Tognetti who showed his unusual ability at broken field running more than once. The fullback spot was sadly vacant of veterans and Howie immediately set in quest of a good man for this most important position. Joe Stombaugh, except when handicapped by injuries filled this spot remarkably well and was well backed up by another newcomer, “Moose” Guarnelli. These men formed the nucleus or backbone of the team during the entire year, some being outstanding, some being hit early by injuries, and some doing an excellent job of pinch hitting. After a couple of weeks of hard, strenuous practice the team was ready for the first game with Modesto J. C. This and the next two games with Salinas J. C. and Humboldt State were away from home. Then the team came home to wallop San Jose State Frosh and San Francisco State Varsity. A trip to Santa Maria brought a disheartening defeat. Another home game gave the team a hard earned tie with the strong U. of San Francisco Frosh. A trip to Idaho for the final game and a win on Thanks- giving day closed another brilliant season for the Mustangs. POLY—0. MODESTO J. C.—0 On Friday, September 24, the well-drilled squad of Mustangs set out for Modesto to engage the Modesto J. C. “Pirates” in the opening game of the season. The team had worked hard, knew their plays well, but were faced with the fact that this was the first time that the team had played together as a unit under fire. They soon found this fact to decided disadvantage as costly fumbles and muffed passes showed. These facts so wrecked the offense of the green Poly team that they had to go into a defensive attitude to stop the terrific offensive of the Modesto team. The team excelled in this defense department, a fact which showed up to great advantage in this and later games. The Pirates made eight determined drives in all but each bogged down as they neared the goal and the excellent Poly defense began to click. In the third quarter one Modesto drive reached the three-yard line but failed when their passing attack bogged down. The only Poly threat came in the last minute of play when Gabe Saenz intercepted a lateral deep in his own territory and then in turn lateralled to “Moose” Guarnelli who raced to the Modesto 27-yard line before he was dragged down from behind just as the gun went off. With the exception of a few poor kicks and fumbles the Mustangs did remarkably well for a green team in their first game. Schwander showed up remarkably in the line and the signal calling of Quarterback Saenz was tops. POLY—-18, SALINAS J. C.—0 Cal Poly met an old rival—Salinas Junior College, in a driving rain on the opponents’ field. The first touchdown was scored by George Silva on an end sweep, cutting back beautifully through the Salinas secondary for a dash of some 10 yards. The next score brought to light a new Mus- tang luminary— Elmer “Hips” Togr.etti—who slanted off tackle for about 60 yards and a tally. Once through the line, the opponents faded, leaving the “King City Kid” with nothing but a sprint for pay dirt. The third and final tally came a result of a recovered fumble on the opponent’s 35-yard line. From here the real, potential power exerted itself and the Mustangs moved by straight line plays for the score. There were no conversions, due largely to the wet ball. Saenz. Wineroth. Dii inn Held to even terms in their ground attack and outdistanced in punting in the first half, the Thunderbolts finally opened with a sensational attack in the third quarter to score two touchdowns and put the game on ice. The game might have been termed an 8-minute game for with the exception of the first eight minutes in the third quarter, it was a nip and tuck game all the way. Meneweather, “Dusky Dynamo,” was the entire Humboldt offense, scoring both touchdowns before most of those present realized what was taking place. In spite of Meneweather’s short and brilliant offensive work, it was Poly’s greatest defensive game of the year. Garcia was outstanding in the backfield, getting off several long punts while Pitt, Wineroth, Du- sina and Dana stood out in the line with great defensive work. Coach Charley Erb of the Thunderbolts said after the game that Poly was one of the best-coached teams that he had met in years. He was particularly impressed with the playing of Harry Wineroth whom he had formerly coached. The “Four Siege Guns”—Ferin, Meneweather, Moore and Moore, were the whole show in the State's attack, with Meneweather packing the ball over, Moore converting, and Ferin and Moore putting the ball in position. POLY—6, SAN JOSE STATE FROSH—0 Playing their first home game of the season the Mustangs eked out a lone touchdown in a hard-fought game to give them a win and their third victory of the season. The lone score came when diminutive George Silva took a punt on his own forty and raced sixty yards for a touchdown. Other- wise Poly showed little offensive ability but played a bang-up defensive game. Dusina was easily the outstanding player of the afternoon, break- ing up play after play with his fine tackling ability. The story of the Mustang playing could have been summed up in a few words—plenty of defense and no offense. The only time in the entire ball game that Poly showed any sign whatsoever of superiority was in the closing four minutes of the game when on a series of running and pass plays they gained 50 yards but lost the ball on the San Jose 11-yard line. In his first game of the season Rios showed up unusually well, making several fine runs, throwing accurate passes and showing up as the out- standing secondary defensive man on the field. Bob Garcia’s fine punting kept the invading team pretty well in its own terrtory during most of the game. 1L M - ■ HUMBOLDT STATE —14. POLY —0 Van Horn. Null, Cook POLY—33, SAN FRANCISCO STATE—0 Rios, Garcia, Dana After a listless first quarter in which they were able to gain but four yards from the line of scrimmage, the Mustangs finally found themselves in the next three periods and defeated the invading S. F. State College varsity to the tune of 33-0. With the first touchdown in the second quarter the game turned into nothing more than a rout as the Poly backs ran wild and scored almost at ease. The first touchdown came in the second quarter when Rios threw a 20-yard pass to Silva who galloped 30 more yards for the touchdown. Du- sina converted, and after this San Francisco showed little if any offensive ability. The second score came as Poly took advantage of a poor San Fran- cisco punt that went out on the 22-yard line. On the first play George Fowler put the ball in position by taking it through for 11 yards. Another play and a penalty, and then Silva took it over behind beautiful blocking by Dusina. The place kick of Dusina was wide. After a beautiful series of line smashes by Joe Stombaugh, Dooley finally went over for the third touchdown. Tognetti scored the fourth touchdown when he zig-zagged a punt back 55 yards to a touchdown with- out being touched. A San Francisco fumble, two passes from Vic “Rabbit” Tomei to Cook, and a run by Cook, and the fifth touchdown was chalked up. The whole team played heads up ball with Schwander, Null, Dusina and Rios outstanding. POLY—12. SANTA MARIA—13 This game was one of those seemingly necessary letdowns, although it was disastrous to the splendid season’s record of the Mustangs up to this point. It was the week after Homecoming, when the Orange and Green had chalked up a 33-0 victory before the admiring alumni. After a strong first half in which the Mustangs scored 12 points with seeming ease, the opposition began to play a brand of ball which they themselves did not recognize. A series of passes for short gains brought the first tally, with the Mustangs joyfully entering into the happy spirit of the affair. But when the Jaysce scored again and converted, using the same type of offensive, the Mustangs realized that the picture had changed. With about five min- utes remaining in the game, the Orange and Green took the ball on their 12-yard line and moved to the Jaysee four-yard line to be denied a score by the whistle which ended the game. It was a good lesson with a sad ending. POLY—13, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO (SOUTHERN)—7 The final game of the season found the strong Mustang team in Poca- tello, Idaho, to engage Idaho Southern on Thanksgiving Day. Poly played one of their great games of the year, scoring early when they galloped twice in the first half and holding Idaho to one lone touchdown which came late in the last quarter. Line play dominated throughout the game with the Mustangs having decidedly the upper hand throughout. The first Mustang touchdown came in the first quarter when Holt, Idaho halfback, fumbled the ball and Clark recovered for Poly. Garcia, Silva and Rios alternated in packing the ball to the six-inch line from which point Rios plunged it over. The attempted placement of Saenz was no good. They galloped again in the second quar- ter when Dooley, halfback, intercepted a pass and ran 45 yards for the second and final Poly score. Cook’s place kick was good. From then on it was a battle of line against line with the results about even. Then in the final quarter Holt of Idaho broke through the line, sidestepped and outran the secondary, and scored the only Bengal touch- down. The defensive playing of the Mustang line was outstanding and Silva, Tognetti, and Garcia played bang-up defensive ball in the backfield. After the game the Bengals placed Pitt, Schwander, Wineroth and Rios on on their all-opponent team for the year. POLY—0, UNIVERSITY OF S. F. FROSH—0 In this Armistice Day game the Mustangs came through to prove to local football fans that they are one of the greatest Poly elevens to ever put on Green and Gold jerseys when they held the hitherto unbeaten, un- tied San Francisco Frosh team to a scoreless tie. Although unable to gain yardage because of a soaking wet field the Mustangs turned in a masterful defensive game. Ossie Dusina, acting captain, and Harry Wineroth, hard-playing cen- ter, were two of the reasons for the Mustangs being in the ball game. Dusina made so many tackles that it would have been hard to keep track, and Wineroth, always a fine defensive man, knocked down four would-be dangerous passes and made many fine tackles. The teams battled on even terms during the first few minutes. Toward the end of the first quarter the Mustangs had worked the ball down to the Frosh’s 26-yard line. Ossie Dusina was then called on to attempt a place which was wide by inches. This was the only near score of the game and from then on it developed into a see-saw battle with fine punting on either side. The second half foundn the teams trying everything in the book but with little success due to the condition of the field. Outstanding for the invaders were Fisk at full and Masconi at half. Stombaugh and Dooley were the luminaries in the Poly backfield, Joe being the only man who could find a hole in the Frosh forward wall. Pitt. Silva. Lynn Dixon, Stombaugh, Snow, Tognetti SUMMARY The record of 5 wins, 2 ties, and 2 losses may not sound par- ticularly impressive but when one considers the caliber of the teams against which the Mustangs played, the picture is a little different. Actually only eight games were played with the ninth being forfeited by the Santa Barbara Athletic Club due to several of their members being ”on the shelf.” Three four-year colleges, namely Humboldt State, San Fran- cisco State and Idaho Southern, were n et by the Mustangs and from each source their was nothing but praise for the fine football of the Poly men. All the games played were hard fought and played cleanly and much credit for this fine type of play must be given to Coach Howie O’Daniels ar.d his fine leadership. All of the fellows on the team gave gcd accounts of themselves and certainly deserve a lot of credit for their fine efforts. For every hour played in a game there are innumerable hours of strenuous practice necessary so that every play will run off smoothly, and to stick all this out a fellow really has to have something on the ball. The final selection of E. “Buck” Schwander as captain was an outstanding compliment to his fine type of play and leadership. To sum it all up the team did remarkably well in face of the stiff schedule, the follows cooperated beautifully and Howie did one swell job of whipping a really championship team into shape. Chapman, Lawrence, Agbashian SPRING PRACTICE During March, Howie issued a call for aspiring candidates for his next year’s varsity and was greeted with an unusually fine turnout. The practice ran on through April and May during which time the fellows learned new plays, practiced old plays, experimented on new ideas, and did all they could to help make next year’s varsity a big success. Sev- eral faces from this year’s varsity were conspicuous by their absence as graduation will take them this June. Among these were Henry Null, Ed Lawrence, “Pop” Rios, Rob Garcia, Charlie Dana, Lowell Dixon and Charles Agbashian. However, next year Howie will welcome back sev- eral of his lettermen including Harry Wineroth, Paul Pitt, Stanton Lynn. George Chapman, Ren Snow, Elmer Tognetti, Joe Stombaugh and Jack Clark. Next year’s schedule will include five of the more powerful teams played this year and four new teams, all with four-year college ratings. This sche- dule brings to light the fact that Poly is now out of the Junior College class as no J. C. names appear. If the team survives this schedule, the Mustangs will he well on their way to recognition as a top ranking team in California. NEXT YEAR’S SCHEDULE Sept. 21—St. Mary’s U.

Itra !l« y BASKETBALL Approximately thirty-five men showed up for the opening of the basketball season in December and from this group Coach Howie set out to pick his varsity. With Ray Carpenter, Wes Bridsten, Fred Bradley, Orlando Canclini, Maurice Rush, Ed Maxon and Leon Babka as returning lettermen Howie had little to do but form a couple of more teams on which the less experienced of the candidates could perform and so gain as much actual practice as possible. The two teams thus formed were known as the Mules and the Javees, and both made remarkably fine showings as well as developing some out- standing players. Most of the veterans had been working out in the gym before the beginning of the season and so the team was pretty well in shape when the practice started out in earnest. The seven returning lettermen and four newcomers, Harry Wineroth, Charles Da- na, Jack Hansen and Bernard Davis formed the Varsity. All of the men were of prac- tically equal caliber and so it was rather hard to form an opening lineup and substitu- tions were rather often. It did not take long to whip the team into shape and in a short time they were ready for their first contest. Breaking all attendance records for opening games, approximately 500 fans crowd- ed the college gymnasium to see the Mustang team down the local San Luis J. C. to the tune of 32-11. Paced by Orlando Canclini the Mustangs ran up a 9-7 lead by the half and then went on in the second half to score basket after basket almost at ease to win going away. Both teams were still ragged but displayed fine teamwork at all times. The Pismo Beach Merchants journeyed up next and went home on the poor end of a 30-23 score. In another warm-up game before the opener with the Santa Barbara State Varsity the team galloped roughshod over the Clarence Brown’s Jewelers, emerging victorious on a 61-13 score. In their first real test the team lost a disheartening game to Santa Barbara State Varsity by a single point. It was a hard-fought game and considering the fact that State is a four-year college the team did remarkably well. At the half-time Poly led 20-14 but personal fouls during the second half allowed the Gauchos to creep up until they took the lead in the last minutes of play. Ray Carpenter was high point man with 12 of Poly’s 32 points. In another easy game the Mustangs trampled Lompoc C. C. C. by the score of 48-6. Before an unusually large crowd which packed the gym to the rafters “Runt” Pullins and his Colored Clowns put on a daz- zling show, clowning their way to a 31-28 victory over the puz- zled and bewildered Mustangs. Clever ball handling and passing kept the crowd in a continual uproar from the beginning to end of the game. Diminutive “Poison” Rush was high-point man with 8 digits to his credit. Traveling to San Jose for their first road game the Poly team lost a game marred by many fouls by the score of 31-28 to the San Jose State Frosh for their second loss of the season to college teams. Personal fouls flew thick and fast with the Frosh taking the better advantage of the free throws. In an exciting extra period game the Bakersfield J. C. hoop team handed the Mustang five a 35 to 27 defeat. A long shot by one of the Bakers- field forwards tied the score at 26-all as the gun sounded. In the extra period the valley team completely outclassed the Mustangs to win going away. Barney Davis, center, was high-point with a total of nine. Hard luck was riding the Poly team as they lost their third road game and second overtime game in as many starts to the Santa Barbara State Varsity. The game ended with the score at 36-all and in the overtime period the score went up to 40-all, when a Gaucho guard dropped a free throw to win the game 41 to 40. Ray Carpenter with 12 points led the Mustang scoring. The dejected Mustang team returned home to meet five bearded men known as the House of David team and met another defeat in a well-contested, one-sided game. Clever clowning, drib- bling and passing pleased the large number of fans who assem- bled to see the game. Art Stoelting, giant 6-foot 11-inch center, on the Bearded team ran wild to score 19 points. The rest of the players gave clever exhibitions of ball handling and the final score of 48-38 in no way showed the comparative strengths of the teams. Poly finally broke their losing streak and won their first road game when they defeated Taft Junior College five 36 to 29. It was an interesting, well-played game throughout with the Mustangs always having the upper hand. Against Bakersfield J. C. in a return game the Mustang five turned in another one-point game but were on the good end of the score for the first time of the season. The Mustang quintet was led to victory by Ray “Champ” Carpenter who ran up a total of 15 points. Barney Davis and Harry Wineroth after turn- ing in fine performances left the game via the personal foul route. The final score was 37 to 36. Field goals literally poured through the basket as the Mus- tangs again trampled the Pismo Beach Merchants 71 to 23. Tog- netti from the Jayvees was high-point man with 12 points. In another return match the Poly team handed the Taft Junior College team another lacing 28-19. The Mustangs playing their usual heads-up ball, were masters of the situation from beginning to end. Maxson, Wineroth, Bridaten In a repetition of the previous game the quintet easily de- feated the Santa Maria Junior College 31 to 23 in their first meting of the year on the basketball court. Comedy in basketball was present in large amounts when the Harlem Globe Trotters defeated the Mustang Varsity 46-40. The Globe Trotters played a fast breaking game of basktball which combined with their clowning antics made a great show for the fans present. Canclini was high-point man for Poly with 12 points. In another easy game, the Mustang five traveled to Santa Maria to hand the J. C. an easy 34-20 lacing. The final game of the year found the Mustang team meeting the strong Maricopa Town team and emerging on the poor end of a 44 to 33 score. Coach Howie and his team enjoyed a fairly successful sea- son with a record of 10 wins and 8 losses against big-time com- petition. Ray Carpenter, Maurice Rush, Wes Bridsten, Orlando Can- clini, Bernard Davis, Cleon Babka, Edward Maxon, Fred Brad- ley, Harry Wineroth, Charles Dana and Jack Hansen were award- ed letters. Carpenter carried off high-point honors for the season with a total of 122 points.

JAYVEES As second string varsity men and under the able direc- tion of Coach Meacham the Jayvees did remarkably well. Led by Angus MacKillop, dead-eye forward, the team won several hard-fought victories over outstanding teams. Prob- ably the outstanding victory of the season was a 32 to 30 win over the Santa Barbara State Frosh. The Jayvees were also members of the City Basketball league, tieing for the title during the first half and placing in the second division in the second half. The Jaysees also defeated San Luis Junior College 27 to 19, Morro Bay C. C. C. 35 to 34, and San Luis High School 36 to 31. The Jayvee team provided excellent training for men who were of second-string varsity caliber and would have had to sit on the bench otherwise. Several of this year’s members will probably form the nucleus of the varsity team during the next year. MacKillop was easily the outstanding member of the team, being high-point man and leading his team to a ma- jority of their victories. Tognetti was outstanding at for- ward and should easily make the varsity next year. Hall at center was of varsity caliber but veterans on the varsity left him no choice but to play Jayvee. Bloom, Lang and Lambert stood out at guard position due to their fine de- fensive work. MULES The Mules under the direction of Coach Meacham al- though lacking the material of their big brothers the Jay- vees, did remarkably in competition. The men on the Mules are those out for their first taste of college basketball. Two games were scheduled between the Mules and the Jayvees and although the Mules were lacking in experience they came mighty close to upsetting their more polished broth- ers in both games. The Mules were also members of the City Basketball league and did fairly well considering the veteran type of clubs against which they were playing. McClintock was higlrpoint man for the Mules. Biocca shone at center, Ring- ler, Warden and Carracaburu aided McClintock at forward positions, and Haley, Schohr, Hudson and Ross held down the guard positions. BASEBALL Aided by practically a whole team of returning lettermen Captain Deuel set out to build another team of championship caliber. Practice grounds were sadly lacking at the beginning of the season but Rill Helphinstine came to the rescue and fixed up the old diamond behind school which was used for the rest of the season. The first string was unusually strong due to the large num- ber of veterans and a couple of good newcomers, but the reserves were rather weak. The season was started with a couple of practice games against the high school in which Poly was easily victorious. The first game of the season found Poly meeting the Santa Barbara State team here. The game was called off in the seventh inning when bad rain conditions set in and so the State nine went home with a 3 to 0 victory. Santa Barbara scored all of their runs in the fifth inning on a series of hits. Bowman pitched good ball for Poly, giving up but six hits. Canclini led the Mustang team when he collected two of their three hits. Two days later the Poly nine journeyed to the valley to engage the Taft team. The Mustangs got off to a fine start in the initial stanza when they pushed three runs across the plate. Tognetti, first man up for Captain Deuel’s charges, walked and advanced on Canclini’s single. Both were brought home when Ray “Champ” Carpenter poled out a home run. The Taft team came back strong in the sixth inning and pushed four runs across the plate to assure them of the lead. Bowman pitched good ball for the losers. Final score was 9 to 8 in favor of Taft. The next day they engaged the strong Bakersfield Junior College and again lost to the tune of 5 to 3. The Tech team made six errors which cost them the game as they outhit the valley team 9 to 7. The Mustangs lost their fourth game in a row to the Santa Barbara State Varsity in a return game at Santa Barbara by the score of 5 to 4. The Gauchos got away fast in the first inning, combining several hits ofT of Elmer Quinones with Poly errors, to score three runs. After this first inning flareup, Quinones allowed but two more hits during the remainder of the game. The winning run came in the fifth inning and was entirely un- earned. The runner went to first when Vanoncini dropped the ball on the third strike, stole second, went to third on a sacrifice, and came home on a long fly. The Mustangs pounded the ball hard all day, getting their base hits on sharp drives to all fields but smart fielding kept them away from the plate. Bradley, Hinkle, and Dana each collected two hits for the Mustangs. i Bowman, Vanoncini, Tognetti With Shortstop Elmer Tognetti connecting for two home runs which drove in seven runs, the Mustang nine turned in their first win of the season on the Poly diamond when they handed the Santa Maria Junior College nine a 16 to 3 trouncing. Resides Tognetti’s two homers, Bradley and Dana each connected for a homer. Andy Bowman pitched a fine game for the State Tech nine, allowing hut five bingles. He was in trouble but once, that being in the fifth inning when the visitors nicked him for three straight hits. A1 Hinkle and Tognetti, with three hits apiece, were the heavy stickers for the Mustangs. Fred Bradley, out- fielder, made three running catches of fly balls to rob the invad- ers of hits. In their next game the team went on another rampage and handed a visiting San Francisco Junior College nine an 11 to 7 drubbing. The Mustangs started the game as if they had not handled the ball for months and the Bay City lads pushed four runs across the plate on three errors and a hit. The Mustangs came to bat in their half of the first inning and when the dust had cleared it showed that Poly had chalked up five runs. The Mustangs scored again in the third and fifth innings. Elmer Quinones pitched great ball throughout getting into trouble only in the last inning. McGrath, second sacker, made three errors but hit two homers and a triple while at bat. Ray “Champ” Car- penter hit two singles, a double, and a home run in five trips to the plate. In the next game, a return match with Bakersfield J. C., the Mustangs emerged victorious on a 3 to 1 score. Elmer Qui- nones again pitched nice ball and handled seven difficult balls in the field without a miscue. The Mustangs scored first in the opening inning when with two out Bradley hit a screaming ball to left field which was good for four bases. They scored again in the third when the pitcher became wild. Elmer Tognetti led the Tech nine in hitting by driving out two hits in three trips to the plate. The team then traveled to Santa Maria for a game with the Junior College which they won quite easily by the score of 8 to 3. The Taft horsehiders then made it two in a row over the Mustangs when they came out victorious 10 to 7 on the Poly field. Elmer Quinones, pitching the first eight innings was touch- ed for 20 base hits, but were widely scattered and did not do a great deal of damage in running up a large score. Canclini and Carpenter each collected three hits for the Mustangs. McGrath, Ilelphinstine. Canclini As a whole the season was pretty much of a success. The fellows cooperated well and Captain Deuel did an outstanding job of coaching. The team was well blessed with powerful hitters but costly errors bobbed up and robbed the team of many earned victories. Many of the lettermen will again be back next year and Captain Deuel can look forward to a much more successful season.

Most of the early part of the season, the Mustang track was dubbed the “Grand Canal,” and the boys had to do their practicing on the high school field after school in the afternoons. Highlights of the season were the development of a strong mile relay team, which went to the Fresno Relays, only to have the misfortune of losing a baton in the trial heats; and the development of Thorn and Blankenship in the pole vault and Lucas in the javelin, both of whom broke the college records. Scores in meets corresponding with last year showed the strength about the same, with the Mustangs pulling up in some events over the previous year and lacking stars in other events. Death of Captain Oscar Van Horn was a severe blow to the entire squad. LOSE TO FROSH The first meet of the season was a four-way affair, against the San Luis Obispo Jaysee, Santa Maria Jaysee, Santa Barbara State Frosh and Cal Poly. The Mustangs were nosed out of first place by a scant two points, final scores being Santa Barbara 63, Cal Poly 61, San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria 5 each. The Ag-Industrial meet, an annual intramural affair, was won by the Aggie team with a score of 67 to 64. The last event of the day, the half-mile relay, determined the final score and close competition kept interest at a high pitch throughout the entire meet. Null, Jatria. Lucas TAFT WINS MEET The Mustangs next traveled to Taft Junior College for a five-way meet which included Santa Barbara Frosh, San Luis Obispo Jay see and Santa Maria Jay see. In this event, the out- standing individual record was Ralph Newman’s time in the quarter mile of 51.8 seconds, a new Cal Poly record. The same meet saw two other college records broken, Grant Thorne going 11 feet 9 inches in the pole vault, and the mile relay team clock- ing a 3:35:2 event. The final scores gave Taft 67 2-3, Poly 51, Santa Barbara 30Vi� San Luis 8 1-3, Santa Maria 7. The next meet was between Cal Poly and a combined squad from the Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo junior colleges. In this meet, the Mustangs defeated their opponents 75 2-3 to 45 1-3. Events were run on the San Luis Obispo high school track. The Mustangs took firsts in every event except the mile, the 220-yard dash, the pole vault and the broad jump. Newman. Make. Carter SURPRISE SAN JOSE The big meet of the season was against San Jose State college varsity. In this meet, the Mus- tangs were not given much pre-season rating, but at the close of the competition had garnered 45 2-3 points to their opponents' 85 1-3. This was a some- what better showing than had been made in the previous year, and was some 15 points more than the dopesters had figured. The Mustangs took three firsts, with Jim Blake winning the 100-yard dash, Newman the 440-yard dash and Paul Pitt the discus. Newman ran the quarter in 51.4, breaking the college record of the Mustang teams once more. Lucas threw the javelin 172 feet 5 inches for the best record ever made by a wearer of the Orange and Green. George Jagla helped considerably in building up the Mustang points, with seconds in both the high and low hurdles. In this meet, Thorne and Blanken- ship tied with Vaugan of San Jose for second in the pole vault with a mark of 11 feet 9 inches. Cartel ran a beautiful race in the 440-yard dash, which gave the Mustangs a first and second in this event. The performance of the relay team was so sat- isfactory that they began pointing for the West Coast relays at Fresno. The time at the San Jose meet was 3:29:2, which was six seconds under that of the Taft meet where the Mustangs had won. This was the final meet of the season, except for the West Coast relays. Members of the mile re- lay team which went to represent the Mustangs were Jim Blake, Ken Carter, Paul Pitt and Ralph Newman. The qualifying heat was held in the morn- ing. The Mustangs got off to a good start, and were holding their own when the anchor man, running about third and with excellent chances of pulling into second or first place, dropped the baton on the back stretch. He apparently touched one of the op- ponents with the stick, causing it to slip out of his hand. Even after stopping to pick up the baton, his heroic drive almost brought the team into qualify- ing time. All of the mile relay men will be back for next year, and with better track facilities in the offing, it looks possible to develop a quartet which will make an outstanding rec- ord in the state.
