SOCCER TEAM IN ACTION energetic support with his accurate kicking and good sportsmanship. In the forward-line T. Shiba displayed the courage and gameness that spectators delight in watching. Undoubtedly the speediest player in the whole conference, he was an excellent field player and was second choice of the all-con- ference selections. Leslie Williams, beloved of all, never let his team down and was as agile on the soccer field as he is on the dance floor. George julian performed at outside-right with ener- getic stick-to-itiveness. W. Azevedo showed the rest of the players what a less speedy fellow could do when he knew how to handle the ball. His work was always easy to watch and won him a place on the all-conference second team. Bill Fetter and K. Kestler had enough experience to show the spectators what combination in soccer playing was. The find of the soccer season was Benotto-an individualist in his style of play. He has had valuable experience in the San Francisco League this winter and will doubtless be a strong player on the 1939 team. Of the twenty-seven members who received the covetous Block S , one would like to give well deserved credit to the subs and to manager Sollers, whose spirit and loyalty did so much to make the season a success. Most of the experienced players will be away as the 1939 season opens. Mertens will doubtless find a place on the U.C. team as will Les Wil- liams. Dwyer will play with San jose State. There'll be many openings on the 1939 squad and with a full schedule of twelve conference games and a contemplated trip south at Thanksn giving vacation to play U.C.L.A., Los 'Angeles City College and Santa Barbara Athletic Club, the coming season should be a full one.

enniai Varsity tennis at San Mateo reached a new high during 1959, when the Bulldogs took both singles and doubles laurels in the Northern California Junior College Tournament, held May 5 and 6 at Stanford. Carl Joost ran off with the singles medal, winning on a default from San Francisco's Bill Canning, who chose to play in another tournament rather than play off the final match. Captain Alderman and Joost hauled down the doubles' coronet when they dumped their teammates, Tom Daly and Pete Monteith, in straight sets, 6-4, 8-6. The latter duo gained the final round by upsetting the finalists of last year, Dixon and Hogan of Modesto. The Mateans weren't even pressed in their victory, Winning as they pleased, 6-2, 6-3. In team competition, the Bulldogs ended the season in a tie for first place with San- Francisco, each squad boasting five wins and a tie. Iri the Forty playoff, held at San Francisco, the two aggre- gates again split the decision! A coin was flipped, Coach Bashor yelled tails, but it landed heads and the unoflicial championship went to the Rams! The Bulldogs played thirty-four matches, won seventeen, lost twelve, and tied five. When the chips were down and winning really meant some- thing, however, the,Mateans didn't drop a match. Joost, Daly, and Alderman travelled to Ojai for the annual tournament late in April, and all faired well. Joost lasted three rounds before succumbing to Stanford's Larry Dee. Joost, Daly, Alderman, Monteith, John Gar- ton, Charles McCabe, and Bill Langford com- prised the Varsity squad, included in the B team were Bob Schnier, Charles Ewell, Mel Carter, Torn Drisko, Bob Bonner, Vernon Ileibbrandt, and Dick Carruthers.
