BASKETBALL “Boys, this is a basketball.’’ That’s what Coach Balsley seems to be telling his top five as they open the practice campaign. Hoping to better their 10-15 mark of 1955-56, the cagers of Coach Ray Balsley set out on a rugged trail through another 25- game slate and, after completing the exhibi- tion rounds with a 5-6 count, had high hopes of reaching a rung in the upper division. But fate was to have otherwise, and after a dismal first round of 2 wins and 5 defeats, the Bulldogs came back strong to win 3 and drop 4 to wind up in fifth place, tied with Stockton. City College of SF represented the Big Eight at the State Tourney at San Jose JC and grabbed third-place honors by bowling over San Diego, 76-63. In collecting an identical 10-15 record, the CSM five tallied 1656 points while the opponents hit for 1750.
