The first Bulldog' track team of three years ago was hardly worthy of the name. The second Blue and Wliite squad was much better, and last year's team took fourth place in the conference meet. Witlm but three veterans, the present team bids fair to be the best of them all. Seymour, javlin throwerg Pos, high jumper, and Klopstock, broad jumper, are the only men who have had experience in junior college. Among the newcomers, Eldted Segal, former Polytechnic Hash, Ralph DeLane, a good little milerg Charlie Blanford, shot putter, Red Eastman, 4--'LO star and brother of the other Eastman of Stanford, and Terry Masterson, jumper, have shown up very well in meets to date. Jean Simpson, half-miler, out for track for the first time at C., is another first-place man. An abundance of 4-10 material gives promise for next year, and for relay events. The entries in future meets will be, with slight changes from time to time, De1Lane and Erkkila, mile, Simpson, half g Eastman, Storm, Stevens, quarter, Segal, sptintsg Blanford and Rae, shot, Seymour, javelin, Rae, discus, Master-

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.

Eastman, Storm, Stevens and Gore or Twadell will run the mile relay. Romecin and Kingsbury will repre- sent the Bulldogs in the hurdles. The loss of Tory Bryant, miler and captain of last year's team, and of Arthur Gilmore, 440 man from last year and elected captain for the present season, was a serious blow, since they were certain point winners. 'DeLane, Erkkila, Storm, Stevens, Gore, Twadell, Segal, Rae, Blanford, Masterson, and Romecin are all frosh, and will probably be seen in action again next year. They are all going to Sacramento this season with Coach McFadden and Manager Mel Duffy. 1 1 Red Eastman must get a great kick out of racing in ahead in the relay. There's always a great big grin on his face as he comes in about five or ten yards ahead of any opponents. 1 1 Storm has about the longest stride for a fellow his size that we have seen. In the San jose meet he made up almost twenty yards on his adversary, and the latter was taking two steps to Storm's one. ' Y 1 Little Ralph DeLane always puts up a nice last lap battle in the mile. No matter how far behind he is when he starts the last lap, he's always right in the money when the race isnover. Wfatch him. f 1 For a guy his size, Duke Blanford sure can heave the shot. 1 1 Terry Masterson is about the best all-round athlete on the campus. He can run, jump, and throw the weights with the best of them. I-Ie's also a good football player. 1 1 Get a slant at the 440 men some day. There are as many out for the 440 as for everything else together, Eastman, Gore, Schoenfeld, First Down Wilson, Twadell, Storm, and Stevens. And almost all will be back next year,
