Harry Miller, Frank Olmo, and Nate Magid were back for their third year of competition, and Carl Mignacco, Ted Goldman, and Arden Batchelder for the second season. But split series with Marin and Modesto, and a pair of games lost to Sacramento, sacrificed the second California Coast Conference to Sacramento junior College this year. After a week and a half of work-out, with three practice games behind them, the Blue and Wlmite met Marin on the home court and barely squeezed

Ar Sacramento, on Thanksgiving Day, a hopelessly beaten team came back in the second half on the short end of a 26-0 score to stage one of the greatest exhibitions of sheer garneness in the annals of sport. A frenzied mob went from hysteria to madness as thetBulldogs fought terrifically, desperately, to win back what was already lost. Three times they swept the length of the field to scoreg Bert Allen and Milo Quissling ran Wildg Capitelli and Haynes threw perfect passesg and Eubanks made miraculous catches. In that heart- breaking second half they stopped Donadio, the Sacramento flash, as he had never been stopped. And then Fare turned. The final score was 35-20.

58 The CAMPUS 1 1930 out a victory over the Mariners, 30-27. The second game, at Tamalpias, was an unexpected defeat for the Bulldogs. The score, 51-21, tells the tale of what happened. The Bulldog offense was unable to penetrate the Yellow- jackets' air-tight defense, and the accuracy of the latter in scoring was almost uncanny. California Poly first, and then Santa Rosa junior College, fell before a hard-playing, straight-shooting team which took these four games rather easily. Forwards and guards were working in perfect harmony, and both offensive and defensive work showed up well. Prospects once more seemed bright for another championship year. Modesto, however, broke the charm, and a split series at home set the team in second place in the conference. The Hrst game was a victory for the San Mateo team, and the Bulldogs played the best game of the year to win 55-27. The second game went to Modesto 26-22, after one of the hardest fought struggles of the season. The midget forwards, Olmo and Miller, seemed unable to touch the basket, and their throws just hit the hoop and bounced off. Sacramento took another championship from the Blue and Wllite in a series which was as unfair as refereeing could make it. In both games, San Mateo was leading at half time, and shortly after the half had begun, the referee called fouls on the Bulldogs in rapid succession and threw out the entire first string. This happened in both games, to men who had never before
