66 The CAMPUS f 1930 Tennis cl-IOOL opened last fall with the gloomiest prosepcts for tennis in several years. The stars of last year's team were gone. Karl Mauser, Kerwin Foley, and Cy Woods had left school, and the only veteran remaining was Captain Bill Finger. The fall tournament, however, uncovered some very good material in the persons of Elihu Shapiro, Leonard Nestor, and George Cammas, Around these men, and Ted Hand, Coach Cy Bashot built up a team which took every match entered during the fall season. Leonard Nestor, whose consistent playing broke down the morale of men who played much better games than he, won his way to third man on the squad. Shapiro played very well during the fall, losing not a match, fell into a slump during the early part of the spring season, and recovered just in time for the trip to Los Angeles. Leslie Thompson, a transfer from California last fall, was on probation during the early part of the spring and was therefore ineligible, though one of the best players in school. The standing at present is 1. Elihu Shapirog 2. Bill Finger, Capt., 3. Leonard Nestor, 4. George Cammasg 5. Ted Hand, 6. Paul Fleming, and 7. Mike Miho.

SAN Marao JUNIOR COLLEGE 65 The Stanford and California frosh both forfeited the return games with the Bulldogs and Gave the soccer team its fourth successive championship. an 1 ' of Capt. Kenney, Post, Lister, and Moore all played in every league game throughout the season, and it was the always consistent and often-times bril- liant playing of these four that cinched many of the games. Vallejo, Ross, Coats, Bryant, and Ayoob also deserve mention for very good work throughout the season. THE 1929 football team takes this opportunity to express the sincere appreciation of every member of the squad, for the loyal support given to the team by the 1929 soccer squad, especially in out-of-town games. Hunch Contest Completion of the second annual Hunch contest on April 11 marked the establishment of Hunch as one of the most popular student activities on the campus. As Ogden Fields and Walter Cranert, originators and sponsors of the contest, stated: The contest was instigated for the students, andgour reward will be the continuation of the games. Although the word tradition does not exactly lit an athletic event, we would be very glad to see Hunch contests become a tradition. Fighting their way through 64 players, Kenneth Rigby and Jerome Wlmite defeated Don Cooper and Fred West for the 1930 honors. Last year's contest was won by Brantley Eubanks and Henry Schaldach. ' The new game is played at one basket of the basketball court, with two teams of two players each. The rules are the same as those of regular basket- ball. Points are scored in the same manner, except that shots from the foul line are limited. to one. I Completely ourclassing the contest of last spring both in perfection of playing and number of entrants, the Hunch contest attracted large galleries of students. If the enthusiasm of the participating students may be taken into account as a measure of its popularity, the new sport will become a tradition at the junior College.

SAN Mateo JUNIOR COLLEGE 67 The tennis team played Marin, Modesto, and Sacramento junior Colleges last fall, all away from home, and won every match. Handicapped by lack of courts, while the school courts were under repair, the team got off to a poor start this spring, losing a four man tournament with Sacramento, and winning another match with Marin Junior College. They played several practice matches with high schools and with San Jose State Teachers, whom they defeated decisively. Coach Bashor's proteges were improving rapidly, and were now ready for the trip south. Their itinerary was to include Modesto Junior College at Modesto, the University of Southern California freshmen at Los Angeles, and Pasadena Junior College at Pasadena. Those who went south are Dave Kelly, manager of the tennis team, Shapiro, Finger, Nestor, Cammas, and Hand. Matches during the latter part of the season are to be held with Menlo junior College at Menlo, a four-way tournament with Marin, Modesto, and Sacramento, and the California Coast Conference championship tourna- ment at Stanford on May 3. 1 1 Prospects seem fair at present for a good season, though Bashor himself is not optimistic about winning the championship. A la Damon Runyon, your poor scrivener has been wondering where Elsie Cooper acquired his name Punchy Quisling, erstwhile 'lMile-a-minute, has been disturbing us again to get his name in the Campus, but you have to excuse him. He can play football. Eldred Segal was not at school when the track picture was taken. He tried for two weeks to get his picture in. Bill Riechel's Pussycats, Ed Montgomery's Vacqueros, and Carl Mitchel's Wfolves are the favorites for the touch tackle tournament to be held imme- diately after spring vacation. This popular gym sport has gained so much attention that after the annual hunch tournament, which was won by Kenneth Rigby and Jerome Wliite, the boys got together and made the rules for the more exciting sport. XWindy Coats, in addition to holding a record which can never be beaten, on account of new eligibility rules, has set records for the consump- tion of milk shakes which bids fair to make Rip.ley's l'Believe It or Not look weak. He has been on three championship soccer teams, three championship baseball teams, and has had five large milk shakes in a row.
