Echoing the Tartar cry of Onward, For- ward , the spirit of our campus has been followed, in uniting the record of the activ- ities of two student bodies into one enlarged edition of this Dar-U-Gar. MRS. ARDELLA B, TIBBY Vice-Principal and Assistant District Superintendent dedicd ion BECAUSE of her unfailing assistance and counsel to the individual student and tier untiring interest in the activities of the student body as a whole, we the staff of the 1931 Dar-U-Gar hereby gratefully dedi- cate this 1951 edition to our friend and coun- sellor, Mrs. Ardella B. Tibby, who has just completed her first year as Assistant Superin- tendent of the Compton Union Secondary Schools, which include the junior high schools, the senior high school, and the junior college. order of bookr ddmini irdtion 3 dlhleiic 4 dctivitiey In Memoriam Faculty Karleton Forbes Scott Student Yvonne Hopkins Alumni Mrs. Mildred Adams Miller Mrs. Olivia Crane Holzhaus i w. boo ddmini irdi.ion V m ¥ .y :• ' .

Pleas- ant surroundings and a fine orchestra helped to make the affair an unusually lovely one. With Ray Whitcomb as president, and Miss Lola Chaffee and Mr. Harold Lovejoy as advisors, this class remained active throughout the year. The Junior colors of green and white enlivened the campus early in the year when the members donned their class sweaters.

Yellow and blue were chosen as class colors. However, due to much dissention following their selection, it is probable that they will not remain the permanent class choice. A get-together in the Women ' s gym on the evening of May 17 was the outstanding social event for the tenth year group. This was in the form of a rally. Tenth year students have taken an enthusiastic part in all forms of school activities, including athletics, drama, and journalism. Ten h Year Men Fifty-Five DOO K3 dth etic It L I07 193 Junior College Varsity Football T Earle Deacon Pine Head Coacli HE COMPTON JUNIOR COLLEGE upper division varsity football team had an exceptionally successful season in 19 30. In a long schedule of thirteen games, the Terrible Tartars went without a s.ngle defeat. They made a percent of 900 in the final conference standings with five wins and one tie. Their season ' s total, includ- ing all practice and non-conference games, was 885 per cent on ten i| wins and three tics. They chalked up a total of 2 1 6 points to their opponents 65. This was an average, per game of nearly seventeen; to five. Only two teams were able to score as much as twice on the| Tartars all season, these two foes were the U. S. S. Mississippi, 1929 battle fleet champs, at the beginning of the season, and Riverside, eastern division title-holders this year. Compton was the only team, besides a four-year college eleven and an university frosh team to score on the Menlo Park junior college wonder-team. Not only did they score on the Oaks, but they continually outplayed them all during the game. Doped to finish below the powerful Los Angeles jaysee outfit, the Tartars came through a tough ' season, not only to take the Western division crown, but also the Southern California jaysee title and to tie with Menlo Park for the state pennant. Truly collegiate, Compton drew her men from all over Southern California with two men commg from the eastern United States. Whatever the numerical out- come of the Menlo fracas was, Compton will always remain in the minds of the spectators as the real champs, although unofficially. The steady and brainy work of the Tartar line deserves special credit for paving the way in most of Compton ' s offensive drives and defensive stands. The offensive work of Clark, at running guard, and the defensive ability of Wingard, at left tackle, were bright spots in line that shone from end to end. In the backfield, the stellar work of Captain McKce, Yancey, Canfield, and Slagle was rewarded with all-conference honors. In fact, twelve men of the squad, with Yancey and Canfield alternating at quar- terback honors, were placed on some authorities, all-conference outfit. Eight men will be lost by gradua- tion, Yancey, McKee, Smith, Krueger, Wingard, Rich, Ostling, and Webster, Too much credit cannot be given the squad ' s coaches. Coach E. R. Deacon Pine, as head coach was ably assisted by Coach Eddie Suggett, in charge of the backs. Coach Frank Mad Anthony, coach of the line, and Coach F. G. Powars. trainer and assistant coach. O - m„ r ' « ! Junior Co ' lege Varsity 4: - ' Fifty-Eight ddi -u-qdi COMPTON 6 - LOS ANGELES o -THE TARTAR UPPER DIVISION team opened their season 1 very propitiously by defeating the touted Los Angeles eleven. The Cubs had been unbeaten for two years and were doped to repeat. A long Tartar pass. Yancey to Myers, netted forty yards and the Stands went wild as Yancey swept around end for an addition of to 8hirty-five yards. But on the tackle Yancey broke his nose, and an- other spectacular performer. Dell Canfield. replaced him. A costly fumble gave the foe the ball: but Compton staged another march in ithe second quarter which scored Porky Smith from the one-yard itii line. Canfield was the outstanding player of the day. out-gaining and ,out-kicking the Cub backs, of whom Cirino and Captain Gallardo were the most dangerous. Both lines were very strong. I ' lISI Krui onii sapi TSll m iih Eugene Pup McKee Captain COMPTON 6 - SANTA ANA 6 T ACKING THE FINAL PUNCH to score, the Tartars battled the powerful Santa Ana Dons to a 6-6 L deadlock. Twice the Tartars took the ball to the enemy one-yard line to be held for no gain. Four ; consecutive passes from Canfield to McKee put the ball on the Dons ' thirteen-yard stripe, whence a pass to i Myers accounted for the score. Santa Ana tied the count in the third quarter when they blocked Yancey ' s punt back of the goal. But the Dons earned it, having driven down the field to the Tartar four-yard line. Yancey saw little action, being hindered by his nose injury. Clark, big running guard, Prosser, center, and the ends, Nuzum, Myers, Kimball, and Schleibaum, shone for the Tartars. Kluthe, Dunham and Gar- mo lock were the stellar players for the Dons. COMPTON 58 - FULLERTON 6 A FTER A GOOD REST, the Tartars easily swamped the Fullerton squad in the Tartars ' third confer- ' ence tussle. The Yellowjackets were no match for Coach Pine ' s offensive juggernaut. Smith scored twice and Rich once on line-bucks following long marches. Schleibaum caught a thirty-yard toss for an- other score, and Myers and Krueger took intercepted passes for touchdown rides. Foltz, Fullerton quarter, scored the one Yellowjacket touchdown on a pass from Pickens in the closing quarter of the battle. The entire Tartar forward wall was running smoothly, and Slagle and McKee in the backfield plunged at will. Clark About to Smother Captain Gallardo of L. A. J. C.

Compton scored in the first half on a pass from Valcnzuela to Sweeney. Later Shaw nabbed a twenty-yard pass and hula-hipped fifty yards for a score. The other three touchdowns were easily made against a crumbling Taft ekwen. COMPTON 12 - LOYOLA FROSH ? THE TERRIBLE Tartars won narrowly over the powerful Loyola Frosh in an Armistice Day, non- conference game. During the opening minutes Sijnny Valenzuela scored after a long run. Loyola then open- ed up with a blinding aerial attack which netted them seven points. The deciding count came on a perfectly executed pass from Canfield to Krueger. Sixty ddr-u-qdr i COMPTOiN 19 -LONG BEACH 6 AGAINST the Long Beach Vikings, the Terrible Tartars continued to show great offensive and defensive strength. Early in the game a twenty-yard pass to Myers put the oval on the Viking five-yard line whence Porky Smith drove it over the goal. In the third quarter the passing attack of Yancy to McKee and Schleibaum put the ball in position for Captain McKee to score off tackle. In the last quarter Schleibaum got a ten yard pass and ran it ten yards more to score with Slagle converting. Parke, stellar Viking quarter, put over the single Long Beac.-; count when he went around the second-string for twenty-five yards in the closing minutes of the struggle. Compton was playing some of their classiest football of the season. The Tartars outclassed ti:eir opponents in every phase of the game. The steady, resistless plunging of Slagle. McKee, and Smith was responsible for much of the Tartar yardage. Long Beach showed their skill and fighting spirit by bat- tling desperately until the final gun. Schleibaum Sixty-One 931 Canfzeld Gets off a long Pass Against Santa Ana COMPTON 1 2 - PASADENA 8 CriLL UNDEFEATED, the Terrible Tartars met Coach Baker ' s Pasadena Bulldogs at the Crown City in one of the toughest de- fensive games of the entire season. Compton scored first when Cap- tain Pup McKee tore through the line and secondary defense for a ong run. Pasadena scored soon after, tying the count. A safety :hen gave the battling Bulldogs two precious points which put them ahead. It looked like a defeat until Canfield and Krueger began a ninety-yard touchdown march in those last three minutes. Marvelous co-operation and fight on the part of the line and the blocking backs made the final score by Canfield possible. The work of House Clark, giant running ' guard, was magnificent. Mathews and Seixas shone for the valiant Bulldogs, but the Tartars were determined not to let any eleven stop their drive for the coveted conference title. Prosser and Kimball took an active part in the Tartar victory and their line work was especially commendable. Canfield .i Sixty -Tico ddr-u-qdr Slagle Gets Thru the Hornet Line COMPTON 14-GLENDALEo Y ITH THE HANDICAP of a muddy field, the Tartar reserves ' opened the last conference battle. The reserves held Glendale scoreless for the entire first half. In the third quarter Yancey scored his first touchdown of the season and also converted. The other Tartar score was made in the closing canto by the sensational Sunny Valenzuela after a march with himself and Rich alternating in carrying the ball. The strength, skill, and dependability of v. -™__________ the reserves were again shown by their good work in the hectic first half. Thus Compton tied one and won five conference games to take the loop crown with a percent of 900. going undefeated all season. The Tartar forward wall was functioning with its usual high degree of efficiency, continually out- charging and out-smarting the Buccaneers. The Compton second-stringers performed with the skill and consistency of regulars. The reserves were always right there with the goods all season, and they often got their chance to prove it. Sixty-Three 193 Canfield Goes Off Tackle Against Riverside COMPTON- 20 RIVERSIDE i4 ' Southern California Jaysee Championship COMPTON, the 19 30 Western division football champs, met a lough opponent in Riverside jaysee, Eastern section title-holders. 1 he Tigers had run rough-shod thru their conference schedule, being threatened seriously but once, when Chaffey held them to an 8 7 vic- tory. Riverside scored two points when Compton punted from behind the end zone in the opening quarter. The Tartars began a long touchdown drive in the second quart er as Smith scored, McKee converting. In the next period Canfield scored after a long drive from mid-field. Again Canfield, with Smith and Slagle alternating, scored after a fifty-yard drive down the field. Captain McKee put over a place-kick for the extra point. In the last quarter Riverside marched seventy yards to score their first touch down. A little later Arbelbidc scored on a lateral.

The northerners were fresh from a series of eight shut-out wins. Slagle was the greatest performer of the day, staging one of the best line plunging assaults jaysee circuits have ever seen. He scored after an eighty yard drive. Menlo showed their only strength in the third quarter when they scored on a lateral. ■ Frenchy LaCombe .heralded as the greatest back in the north, was stopped cold. The Tartars out-played the foe in every department of the game, making 1 7 first downs to Menlo ' s 12 and 312 yards from scrimmage as to 228 for the Oaks. 1 he entire squad was playing super- foot- ball, and whatever the score, the Tartars of 1930 are the only major undefeated jaysee in the Far-West. Si.rty-Five 193 High School Varsity Football i Kenneth Carpenter Captain HANDICAPPED by mcxpcrience and the lack of consistent offense. the lower division heavyweights went thru a hard season in the very strong revised Coast league to finish next to the bottom. However, they gave every foeman a tough battle, often seriously threatening some of the most powerful teams in the conference. A number of times the squad ' s sheer fight and gameness nearly upset some heralded and mighty favorite. Altho their offense depended largely on only two or three backs, the Tar tars developed a strong defense against line bucks and close in running plays, being somewhat weak on pass defense and wide end runs. Compton finished with 286 percent on one win, two ties and four defeats TwTmen, Captain Kenny Carpenter, giant center, and Captam-elect Leo Lawrence, flashy quar ter and triple-threat man, made all-conference rating. Carpenter was one of the finest pivot-men in this part of the state He was an able leader, an expert snapper-back, and a tower of strength in the middle of the forward wall. Don Beck, scrappy wingman, was a defensive genius and few plays passed his end Hedgecock and Harryman did good work at the tackle berths. Hunt and Schleibaum turned in good records at ends Wilmovsky and Goodwin played stellar football at the guard jobs, and were ably sup- ported by Hinesly and Cox, dependable utility linesmen. Cyester played his fourth and last year of varsity season at end and center, performing with ability. In the backfield. Captain-elcct Leo Lawrence, last year ' s mighty fullback, held down the quarterback position as skillfully as any man in the conference. He was always good for a gain with his powerful line plunaes and was an expert in the other phases of a back ' s work. Nuzum, one of the fastest men on the squad was moved to the backfield from end, and rapidly became an expert ball-packer. George Boone, Gregory, Van Diest, and Hutton were all backs of ability. Dan Boone was one of the squad ' s best passers and kickers. Coach Herschel Smith started with an unorganized bunch of players and developed them into a well-ordered team. His work in training the squad this year should result m an exceptionally powerful eleven next year. Carpenter. Wilinovsky, Harriman. Beck, Van Diest, Cyester, Hunt, and Hodak will be lost by graduation. n-: f High School Varsity Sixty-Six ddr-u-qdi COMPTON o - LONG BEACH POLY i4 PHE TARTARS reached the bottom of their early season slump when ' they lost to the strong Alhambra Moors, 41-7. The game was marred by penalties, fumbles, and over-sufficient number of errors. Captain Wot- kyns and Nix, Moor backs, took the scoring honors of the game and seemed able to roam practically at will. In the opening period Nix worked a blocked punt over for a score. A little later Beck and Hcdgecock smoth- ered a Moor kick for a touchdown, and Dan Boone made the extra point. Thus Compton led at the half. 7-6. Wotkyns cai?Tie back to take the second-half kick-off thru the Tartar team for another Moor score.. This brilliant 90-yard stroll seemed to take the sap out of the Tartars, and they wilted, enabling the Moors to put over four more touchdowns, three con- versions, and a safety. Captain Carpenter, Lawrence, Hedgecock, and Dan Boone were the most outstanding Tartar players, but even their good work was not good enough to bring the dispirited Tartars out of their lethargy. COMPTON - SANTA ANA 19 COMPTON ' S second league battle was another hard-fought scramble with the Santa Ana Saints emerging as winners. With Carpenter out with his shoulder injuries, the Tartar line did not function at its best. Reboin. Saint quarter and one of the outstanding prep backs of the year, was the chief cause of Compton ' s downfall. When he was not carrying the ball himself he was usually passing for good gains. The tremendous line plunges of Leo Lawrence netted many yards and badly battered the light but scrappy Saint line. Higashi, Santa Ana half, was another of the opponents ' classiest players. In the first quarter Higashi and Reboin made a long scoring march, with Higashi making the count. Reboin scored again in the same period and in the third. In the closing canto Compton regained some of their former spirit and twice threatened the Saint goal. Reboin ' s end runs and off tackle drives were high points of a fast and well-fought tussle. COMPTON I -ALHAMBRA 41 COMPTON ' S first game in their initial season in the Coast League was with the Long Beach Polytechnic Jackrabbits, the powerful team that later took the conference and Southern California championships. The Tartars played one of their best games of the season. looking especially good on line plunges and defense. Late in the first quarter Poly recovered a Tartar fumble on the Compton 36-yard line. Franklin. Poly quarter- back flash, made 28 yards on an end run as the period ended. Two plays later the Jackrabbits swept around left end for the first score of the game. Compton made a serious offensive threat late in the second canto, but were stopped without scoring. Late in the third quarter Franklin took Harryman ' s punt for a 59-yard scoring ride. Lawrence pounded the stal- wart Poly forward wall for sizeable gains quite consistently. Captain Carpenter was the star of both lines until removed at the half with in- juries. Beck, at end. then became Compton ' s shining light on the line. i ' Wi Lawrence Goodwin Beck WlLMOVSKY Harryman D. Hunt Sixty-Seven 1931 I j w r, mmt 1 H. NuzuM HODAK HiNESLEY Cox Cyester p. Schleibaum COMPTON - FULLERTON o THE FULLERTON GAME, doped as another loss for the Tartars, proved to be one of the closest of the season. It was s conservative and rather cautious tussle, featuring splendid defense and excellent straight football. The Tartars were very much improved and played a top-notch game throughout. During the first quarter both teams were content to play a safe steady game and take no risks. In the next period, Compton worked the ball to the Indian 5 -yard line where they were held for downs. Near the end of the game, Pryor, Indian triple-threat ace, broke loose for several good gains which placed the ball on the Tartars 4-yard stripe. In four tries they made only two yards, then they too lost the ball when within easy scoring distance. In this game the Tartars seemed to be again on the up-grade and a long way toward their best possible form. The whole team worked smoothly together, and defense and offense achieved a splendid degree of strength, stability, and consisitency. The Tartars showed plenty of fighting spirit and excellent cooperation. Every man was playing a heads-up game of football, a game worthy of a champion- ship team. Two of the best centers in the Coast conference. Captain Ken- ny Carpenter of Compton and Captain Darracque of the FuUerton Red- skins, met in this fray. The nifty work of the Indians ' triple-threat star. Pryor. was well matched by the plunging and general fooball exhibit staged by Leo Lawrence, Tartar backfield performer. Both lines were functioning exceptionally well, both defensively and offensively. COMPTON 6 - WOODROW WILSON ? -COMPLETELY OUTPLAYING the foe, the Tartars dropped a one- — ■ point win to the Golden Bears of Woodrow Wilson. Compton ' s old rival put up a stiff and stubborn battle, but the Tartars held the playing edge despite the gloomy outcome of the score. The game was one of th: most spirited and most hotly-contested of the season. Neither eleven con- ceded defeat at any time but kept fighting until the final gun, eager to win this bitter struggle. Compton ' s hopes were on the increase after a crip- pling depression due to heavy early season reverses and ineligibilities. With only a few minutes left to play in the first half, Wilson unleashed a des- perate aerial attack. The Bruin captain. Jack Brande, did the passing and Droopy Mastcrson, all-round Wilson athlete and stellar wing-man, d d the receiving and made the score that put Wilson ahead as the half ended, 7 to 0. Brande kicked the conversion successfully. The Tartars began the third quarter with a smashing, unstoppable scoring march to the one- yard line, whence Leo Lawrence carried the ball over. The Compton stands went wild with hopeful joy as Dan Boone prepared to kick for the extra point that would at least tie the count. As the jinx would have it the ball went low and bounding, and the Bears were still in the van, 7 to 6. And thus the count stayed until the finish of the game. Lawrence. Dan Boone, and Nuzum made a backfield offensive trio that rolled up a good deal of yardage. The line, led by Captain Carpenter and Harryman, were right on the job on offense and defense, opening wide holes for their own back field men and gumming up the enemy. Sixty-Eight COMPTON 6 - HUNTINGTON PARK 13 ddi -u-qd P LAYING A POST-SEASON GAME with the famous old Bay League 1 rivals, Huntington Park, the Tartar lower division varsity met up with one of their hardest disappointments of the season when they drop ped the battle to the Spartans, 13-8, after holding a moral edge for mcsi of the game. The Tartars were greatly improved over their early season slump of inexperience, hard luck, and faulty organization. The Tartar for ward wall had at last developed into the exceptionally hard-charging, surj- tackling. and rock-bound defensive line that it was well capable of becom- ing. The line plunging of Leo Lawrence and Dan Boone had achieved a well-ordered smoothness of execution. Altho the kicking and passing were a long ways from flawless, the team was functioning in an excellent manner. The Parkers were good, but they did not have the strength of last year. There was plenty of fight and pep throughout the tussle. Both outfits were rather low-ranking in their own leagues, and met on a com mon level of ability. The Spartans took to the air to score their first touchdown, when they found the Tartar line was stopping their thrusts A little later, Compton blocked a H. P. punt over the goal and took two points on a safety. In the third quarter Lawrence made a march, which scored him from the five-yard line. Park came back late in the final quart- er to put over their winning score, which they also converted. Next season these two deadly rivals will again ' be able to meet as competitors in the same conference, for Compton is to be transferred back into the old Bay League of which it is a charter member. Once again tlu ' old-time rivalry will flame as these arch-foes compete, not only to win the game, but to cop the coveted pennant. The renewal of league compc tition will find both teams much stronger than this season. COnPTON 2 2 -OLENDALEo FINISHING UP a rather hectic season with a top-heavy win over the Glendale Dynamiters, the Tartar lower division varsity closed the 19 30 season with an eighth place in the strong Coast Conference ratings. Th. Tartars were functioning smoothly, consistently, and powerfully in ever phase of the game. The Glendale eleven was completely outplayed at every turn. Early in the second quarter Leo Lawrence cut loose with a twenty-yard pass to Fred Schleibaum who scored the first touchdown of the game. In the second period Lawrence, Dan Boone, and Hank Nuzum engineered a long march which resulted in Lawrence lugging the pill thru tackle for another Tartar touchdown. The final Compton goal came in the same period, when Ed Cyester nabbed a toss from Dan Boone and scampered over the last white line. Two of the conversions were made good, one on an offside penalty. Compton ' s lower division varsity did their last bit of scoring for the battle when they blocked a Glendale punt for a safety. Every one of the Compton squad did splendid work through- out the whole struggle. Captain Kenny Carpenter played one of the classi- est games of his colorful career, making tackles everywhere and opening huge holes in the Dynamiters ' line. Beck, stellar wingman, and Harryman gigantic tackle, played their last prep school games, and performed with honors. Van UiEM G. Boone HUTTON Gregory D. Boone E. Hedgecock Sixty-Nine s 1931 f f% o r c ' f V High School Middle- weights f. r .K High School Middleweight Football T HE TARTAR MIDDLEWEIGHTS had an exceptionally good season. Coach Harold Lovejoy ' s Bees ' went through the entire season with only one defeat, the Southern California play-off battle lost to Santa Monica, champs of the Bay league. The Tartars easily took the middleweight title in the newly formed, and over-large Coast league. Only three ties were played during the whole season. The first was a practice game with the Narbonne varsity, Marine league champs, which ended 6 to 6. The other two deadlocks were in regular Coast conference play. The H-H battle with Fullerton was in the nature of an offensive carnival. One of the greatest defensive engagements of the year was the hard Pasa- dena middleweight scrap which went all four quarters without a score. This was just about the only game which the Tartar Bees were in any serious danger of losing all season. The Middles had a well-bal- anced, clever, scrappy squad, one of the best in the Southland. Lead by a stellar performer. Captain Law- rence Spaulding the Bees swept to the coveted Coast league championship. Spaulding was undoubtedly one of the finest middleweight guards in the conference. His defensive and offensive ability was excep- tional, and his consistency and earnestness was outstanding. He was a good leader and as excellent a model as any sportsman could desire. The Tartar forward wall was one of the staunchest in the region. Williams and Haby, the regular ends, were both classy and steady wingmen, Martin. Ashton, Hedgecock. and Hornc carried the burden of the tackle positions with dependable skill and power. Captain Spaulding. and Whitaker were the two stalwarts who played the majority of the time at the guard jobs. At the pivot post. Feather DeHatre and AJex MacRoberts saw plenty of hard service and both turned in good records. All in all, the Compton line was as strong defensively and offensively as any forward wall of the conference, Pasadena was probably their hardest opponent. In the back- field was the cream of the Coast circuit. Perhaps no other backfield in the loop had so many exceptionally good players gathered on one team. Mahteny was the chief scorer for the Tartar Bees, making over half of the tuochdowns. He well earned the title of Wildman ' with his slashing drives and crushing plunges. Wilbur and Jennings, who alternated at the full- back berth, were both steady line plungers and fine defensive aces. Wilbur did practically all of the team ' s converting, but he was followed by bad luck all year. Klepfer, Heacock, and Tatman held down the other half and quarter jobs. These three backs were among the speediest and most agile on the squad. Coach Harold Lovejoy did honors for the squad as the mentor of Compton ' s Coast loop Middleweight champs. He devel- oped a smooth-running, hard-hitting, fighting outfit. Some of the team will be lost thru graduation and some by transfer to the varsity, but many of the titular team will be back next season hoping to repeat this year ' s Spaulding, Captain Wilbur record. Seventy ddr-u-qdr COMPTOIM - PASADENA o PLAYING only mediocre football, the classy Tartar Bees stooped to al- low the Pasadena Middles to deadlock them in a scoreless tie. The game, altho rather slow and listless, was one of the best defensive battles of the year, especially on the part of the Bulldogs. A slow sand field added to the general indifference of the Compton griddcrs. allowed the Crown City eleven to gain considerable valuable yardage throughout the game. Neith- er outfit was really within dangerous scoring distance at any time during the game, altho short offensive spurts were made at times by both teams. The battle was a midfield seesaw from the very beginning. Captain Spaulding. Tartar guard, was the outstanding player of the day. Matheny. in the backfield. and DeHatre. pivot-man. also turned in good accounts. Carruthers. fullback, and Norene. guard, were the best Bulldog performers. This game was the best defensive engagement of the season for any Compton team. Both sides were maintaining an air-tight protective system, and at no time in the game, except for punts, did the play leave the middle of the field. Passes were as ineffectual as line plunges as the Tartars and Bulldogs kept up a high-tension defense all during the game. COMPTON 1 4 - GLENDALE o SHOWING PLENTY of power in the air and on running plays, the league-leading Compton Bees annexed the Coast League middleweight chamionship by trampling on the Glendale Middles, 14 to 0. Chuck Williams. Tartar end. started the scoring by blocking a Glendale punt which rolled over the goal giving Compton two points for a safety. At no time dangerously threatened, the classy Tartar Middles came back to stage a successful scoring march in the second quarter. The Compton eleven took the ball steadily down the field; deep into the Glendale terri- tory: and finally Matheny crashed over from the one-yard line. The conversion kick was short and the count stood at 8-0. Compton had the upper edge throughout the game but were not able to score until the final period. After making good gains into enemy land, the Tartars, with Tatman packing the pill, cut loose on a sweeping end run with perfect interference, to score from the Glendale 3 7-yard line. With a fitting blaze of glory, the Tartars ran rough-shod over the Dynamiter Babes in the season ' s finale. It was a splendid showing of mas- terly football by the snappy Lovejoy crew. The Tartars completely out- played the Blasters to bring their Coast league season to a good close. The Glendale eleven was simply not in the same class as Compton. but they fought valiantly and managed to halt the Tartar offensive for a while in the last half. COnPTON ■ SANTA MONICA 13 COMPTON. having taken the Coast Conference middleweight title without a single loss, met Santa Monica. Bay League title-holders, for the Southern California title. Compton. coming from the powerful Coast loop, expected little difficulty in downing the supposedly-weaker champs of the Bay circuit. The game was played at Santa Monica. Compton had just finished a splendid season of six wins and two ties. The first quarter went without either outfit making much headway. In the second canto the Sea Lions began a long, steady drive which netted a touchdown when Santa Monica bucked the ball over the goal. The Samohi put over their second count on a long 22-yard sprint. The conversion was straight over the bar to make the final score Santa Monica 1 3 -Compton 0. This disasterous slump cost the Tartars an almost certain Southland Bee class title. But after a high tension season such as they had just finished, a slight weakening was not unnatural. Heacock Matheny Williams Whitaker HORNE ASHTON Seventy-One 931 COMPTOIN 1 2 - LONG BEACH o i OMPLETELY OUTPLAYING the Poly Bees, the Compton middles — took a 12-0 win to start thier first season in a truly championship manner. Matheny, Tartar back, was the big star of the occasion, scoring the first touchdown and gaining much of Compton ' s yardage. In the fi rst quarter the Tartar Babes had the ball on the Green and Gold fiive-yard line, but a costly fumble lost them their first opportunity to score on the strong Poly eleven. About the middle of the second canto, the locals made an- ot ' : er long, steady march, which ultimately scored Matheny to make the count 6-0. The other count came in the third period when Wilbur bucked the ball over the five yard line. As prooff of the Tartars ' vast superiority, the beach city made only three first downs. T.a ' whole team was func- tioning smoothly and consistently. Captain Spaulding was the outstanding lineman of the day. Godfrey J. Hedgecock HflBY COMPTON 26 - SANTA ANA o C CORING IN EVERY QUARTER, the unbeaten Tartar Bees romped vJ over the Saint Middles to the fast tune of 26-0. Matheny made the first score on a fifteen yard trip around right end. As the Saints were offside, Compton was awarded the extra point. Later the Tartars worked rhe ball to the Santa Ana two-yard line, whence Jennings bucked it over. Comp- ton. still functioning smoothly and forcefully, added another counter when Max Klepfer took the back off tackle, shook off several Saint players, and made the third touchdown of the game. The final score of the battle came when Jennings crossed the goal on a H-yard trip around left end. Wilbur, finally evading his conversion jinx, put a neat kick over the cross- bar to close the scoring of the game, 26 to 0. Cochenes was the only serious gainer for the Saints. Klepfer and Jennings, Compton backs, did honors for the Tartars. Captain Spaulding. local guard, was the best performer on the forward wall. COMPTON 1 2 - ALHAMBRA 6 STILL UNDEFEATED, the Compton Bees continued their titular drive. The Moors had a powerful aggregation and often thraetened to do serious damage to the hopeful Tartar Bees. The first quarter was scoreless, both teams playing a conservative ga ' me. Botli outfits, put over a marker in the next period in a dual offensive; orgy. Matheny put over the Compton touchdown on a buck from the one-yard line. Johnson did similar honors for the Moors. Neither score was converted, and the count was deadlocked at the half. The Tartars Babes cinched the game in the third period w ' hbn Matheny repeated his earlier performance, scoring from the Moors one-yard stripe. This score also went unconverted. In the final quarter the Tartars tightened up and neither side scored again. Matheny and Klepfer were the stellar Compton backs in a brilliant backfield. Jack Whittaker. at guard, led the stalwart Compton line with his good work. Seventy-Two ddr-u-qd COMPTON 13 -FULLERTON 15 UNABLE TO MAINTAIN a thirteen point lead gained in the open- ing half the Compton Middles were held to a 13-13 tie by the strong IFullerton Indians in the fourth round of conference play. Compton had the upper hand all of the initial half, holding the opposing backs for very little gain. Matheny scored in the first quarter after a long march, featur- ing end runs and wide off tackle bucks. Williams, big Tartar wingman. nabbed a Papoose pass in the second canto and ran 65 yards for the second score of the game. This time Joe Wilbur put the conversion neatly ibetween the uprights to make the count 13 to 0. Fullerton scored in the third quarter on trick plays and reverses, Muro making a 3 3 -yard run on a fast reverse play. The foe tied the score a little later on straight football. , Switzer took the ball over from the Compton five-yard line. Berkeley I made the extra point on a perfectly executed kick. Compton missed a good ■opportunity to score a third touchdown in the second quarter when they bad the ball on the Indians ' five-yard line. Matheny was the shining light in the backfield: while Williams, end, and Ashton, tackle, starred on the forward wall. Muro. Jordan, and Berkeley were the best performers for the Fullerton outfit. The Tartars were handicapped by the loss of Jen- nings, hard hitting fullback, whd was out with a bad knee injury. Despite this tie. the Tartars were still in the lead, with Fullerton and Long Beach Poly tied for runnerup honors. COMPTON 1 a - WOODROW WILSON o AINING almost as they pleased, the Tartar Bees added yet another w victory to their already long record of no defeats, when they met the Woodrow Wilson Bear Cubs in their fifth league tussle. Compton scored twice in the first half and once in the closing quarter, maintaining a com- fortable margin throughout the battle. With Matheny. Klepfer, and Wil- bur lugging the pigskin for sizeable gains, the Tartars rapidly progressed to the Wilson 8-yard line, whence Matheny went around left end for the f rst score of the game. Starting another offensive drive, the Tartars work- ed the ball deep into Bear territory. Klepfer passed to Haby who ran fiiteen yards for the second counter. Still Wilbur ' s conversion jinx fol- lowed him. and the score remained 1 2 to 0. During the second and third quarters the teams battled on more even terms, neither team making any lasting gains. However, Compton once worked the ball to the Bear five- yard line only to lose a chance to score when a pass was incomplete over the goal line. In the last quarter Matheny. Klepfer. and Tatman started another march, gaining yards almost at will. Matheny finally sco red from the three-yard line. The Tartars were functioning very smoothly and looked like champions. Coach Lovejoy ' s men all played a fine game, with Matheny and Klepfer starring in the offensive work of the back- field. Captain Spaulding and his fellow linemen all turned in fine records. Woodrow Wilson did not have an exceptionally powerful team. but they made up in fight what they lacked in experience. The Bears held the Tartars down in the last half by sheer scrappiness and spirit alone. s in past ye.irs the Tartars found them gallant foes. y ' i Foster R. Gleason A. MacRoberts R. Jennings Martin G. Dean Seventy -Three 931 C High School Light- weights f% - ' % tl .A b , «r,. 3 High School Lightweight Football DUE TO THE UNEXPECTEDLY large turn-out for middle weight football, a lightweight squad the smaller and less experienced men was formed to give them experience and training. As this del cision had been reached too late for the players to weigh in for conference competition, a rather irregular free-lance season was carried out. In charge of the squad was Coach Sid Edmondson. Compton football star of a few years ago. He had a tough assignment, but came through his season splendidly, developing skillful players from inexperienced men. His good work will be fully realized in a couple of years whei the Tartar Babes of 1930 are taking regular positions on the varsity and middleweight elevens. While not capabable of the experienced finish of the jaysee footballers, these lightweights were proportionally as successful and showed equal fight and determination. They overcame handicaps of inexperience, lack of mature physiques, and no former organization, to go thru their season with plenty of glory and victory and good competition. One of their earliest games was a thrilling 1 2-0 triumph over the strong Ingle- wood Cees of the old Bay League. Early in the tussle the Tartar Cubs drove nearly the entire length of the field, chiefly on off tackles. They scored when Captain Miller took the ball over in the closini minutes of the opening quarter. The second count came when a wary Tartar lineman blocked a Sentinf punt on the visitors ' three-yard line, and a Compton back went over for the score. Captain Miller an Art Birdsall were the chief yardage gainers of the fray. Nucomb, Schleibaum, and Adams were amon the classiest performers on the line. Later in the season, Compton ' s Cees repeated this performance whe: they downed the Bear Cubs from Woodrow Wilson to the same tunc, 1 2 to 0. The Bruins were one of the most powerful outfits in the mighty Coast conference. They came lo the Tartar stronghold expect| ing to manage an easy win. But they were surprisingly upset by a fighting Tartar eleven. A spectaculal; 45 -yard stroll in the initial quarter paved the way for the first score for the Comptonites. Rockefeller, Tartar fullback, took advantage of the excellent opportunity when he plunged over from the two-inch line for the first score of the game. Throughout the whole game the Tartars held the upper hand bot on the defense and on the offense. Most of Compton ' s gains were made on off tackle drives and power- ful line thrusts. In the closing- canto of the game, Compton put over their second count of the day whea Captain Miller went off tackle from the four-yard stripe. Eager and depenable, the Cees sprang from inj expert green-horns to veteran pigskin-chasers in a single short but rather eventful season. Seventy-Four Basketball 93 Junior College Varsity Basketball THE COMPTON JUNIOR COLLEGE varsity basket ball team had a rather unlucky season, meet , their hardest games at the start of the year and losing their most hotly contested ones by narrow mV gins. Yet the Tartars had some of the greatest cage stars in present jaysee ranks, in the persons of Spid i Myers. Lloyd Courtney, Tom Yancey. Dell Canfield. Billy Shaw, and Sammy Minami. The Comptr squad had perhaps the biggest array of stars of any junior college this season. The individual material vj certainly there in full force, but something was lacking. That something which was the key. largely, 3 success was the absence of a workable, enduring system. Throughout the season, the squad showed ' ' 4 peated bursts of offensive brilliance. But at no time were they able to maintain the pace for an entS game with a worthy foe. Probably more vitally lacking than offense, was the defense. There seeirl to be no adequate, effective plan of defense. The burden thus fell on the individual players who p-i formed nobly if futilely. By scrappiness alone the Tartars often dragged themselves up by the bootstrini from absolute downfall to very narrow scores. Myers and Courtney were the leading scorers of the squad. These two men often ran up individil records higher than their opponents, but lack of cooperation lost the day. Myers was one of the m : outstanding forwards in the game on the Coast. His floor work was exceptional and his shooting ev better. Courtney, at the tip-off post, was as clever and dependable a center as any in the conference. F| work under the basket was without a superior, and as a floor-man and defensive player his game was of ti best. Minami, one of the fastest men on the squad, was also a high scorer. His flashy speed, agilit and cleverness accounted for many of the Tartar tallies. At guard was one of the steadiest and mc dependable men in the circuity Captain Mike McKcnzie. His coolness and experience placed hi among the best. Billy Shaw, running guard was one of the cagiest guards of the Bay League in rece years. While he was with the squad during the early part of the season, he continued to show old, flashy style. Tom Yancey and Dell Canfield. two athletic stars of all-round ability from Comptt! high school in past years, proved that they had not lost any of the former star ability. George McNa Leland Phillips. Earle Sweet, and Don Glover were other former Lion stars who showed they were ab| to stay with the best. Coach Paul E. Mickey was the squad ' s mentor. Coach Mickey has put out some of the finest hij ' school and jaysee outfits in the Southland. Yancey. Minami, Sweet, and Captain McKenzie will 1| lost to the squad through graduation. Still there will remain the nucleus for a squad next year whii should be as strong as the five of 1 930-3 1 . Junior College Varsity Seventy-Six ddi ' -u-qdr COMPTON 52 - LOS ANGELES 49 LASHING AN ERRATIC but promising offense. Coach Paul Mickey ' s jaysee cagers opened their conference schedule with a loss to the Cubs of Los Angeles junior college. Compton ' s faltering and dis- -rganiz-cd defense was entirely unable to halt the speedy thrusts of the wonder-team that was later to rise 3 the supremacy of both the Ea stern and Western divisions of the Southland circuit. Los Angeles, always iood in basketball, was invincible this season. Spider Myers, one of the best all-around basketball ilayers of the region, saved the Tartars from complete down-fall when he scored fifteen points to take he individual scoring honors for the tussle. During the opening half, the Cubs ran wild-, and ran up a ount of 28 to the 16 Compton had been able to score. But Compton came back strong in the following uriod and began slowly to lessen the gap in the scores. With Myers and Sweet doing most of the count- ig, th: Tartars crept within a few digits of the Cubs. However, the Angels stiffened their defensive play, ind slowly but surely r:opcncd the space. leaving Compton rather far behind at the close of the combat. COMPTON DEFEATS SANTA ANA rHE FOLLOWING WEEK the Tartar junior college varsity recovered their equilibrium sufficiently to wallop the touted Santa Ana Don basketeers. The Dons, who tied the Tartar football champs, ' ere eager to cleanse the slate with a strong victory over the triumphing Tartars. The battle was closely ought and both outfits struggled to gain and maintain a winning margin. However. Compton ' s super- 3T floor-work and more consistent markmanship settled the problem, and turned the tide of victory for he Tartar quintet. From start to finish the encounter was a mad scramble of aroused opponents, with ' he steadier and more polished Tartar team taking the game with an evening of brilliant basketball. The Tartars started with the opening whistle and maintained their fast pace for the duration of the tussle. The fast well-aimed passing of the Comptonites netted a number of valuable setups. As usual Myers was 11 over at once with his peerless floor-work and basVet shooting. Minami, mighty mite of a forward. gain shone with his clever and dazzling all-around floor work. Seventy-Seven i£iJ COMPTON 40 - FULLERTON 29 LED BY that stellar court ace. Burton Myers, the aroused Tartars crashecl their way to a decisive victor over the Yellowjackets of Fullerton. Myers was again high-point scorer of the melee. He was every where at once seemingly. The game was hotly contested and became rather rough, many penalty sho being awarded. The Hornets took the lead in the opening moments of the game, when Foltz, FuUerto premier athlete, pushed in a handsome set-up shot from the tip-off. So well was the play executed th; Compton hardly knew where the ball was. This woke the Tartars up. and they began a scoring flurr that kept them well in the lead the of the game. Myers ' eighteen points was nearly half of the Tart; total. Minami. midget forward speedster, and Courtney, dusky center, contributed nine and seven poin: respectively to swell the Compton score. Billy Shaw, fast running guard, kept the Hornets up in the a with his clever floor work. Courtney, new center from Jacob Riis high, starred with his work under th Yellowjackct basket. Foltz of Fullerton was leading scorer for his outfit with eleven points. COMPTON 53 - LONG BEACH 4 2 I LED BY two brilliant forwards. Osborne and Whiteneck. the Norsemen of Long Beach staged a lasi quarter rally to take the game by a rather thin margin of nine points. The pair of racy Viking for wards tied for individual scoring honors with a dozen digits apiece. Myers and Courtney headed the Tarta column with eight points each. The game was one of the roughest of the season, forty-one person; fouls being recorded. The Vikings had a fast, penetrating passing attack and a close, impenetrable five man defense. The Beach City quintet had a slight edge in the opening stanza to finish the half with two-point margin, 13-11. In the third quarter the Tartars came back strong. With Myers, Yancey, an Courtney doing exceptional shooting the locals stepped out ahead by a two-tally advantage with twelv minutes to play. Then Myers and McKenzie were sjnt out ofthe game via the four personal foul routt With Myers went the backbone of the Tartar offensive machine, and the Vikings swept on to build u a substantial lead. They chalked up their winning baskets in that hectic final quarter. Minami Canfield McNeil Glover Seventy-Eight 1 dd u-qdl COMPTON 30 - PASADENA 46 wasn . yjEETING a far more consistent and cooperative team than themselves, the Tartars bowed to the Pasa- ' dena Bulldogs in another torrid conference struggle. Courtney. Compton center ran off with rening ' s scoring honors, sinking seventeen points. Smythe and Hoenc. Crown City forwards, were close n his heels with fifteen and twelve digits respectively . Pasadena ' s sharp-shooting forwards and their tow- ring dusky center, Jones, who led his two teammates with ease and ability, were the key to the scoring rgy staged by the Bulldogs. The Tartars opened the game with their customary spirit and fight, and ntil half-time the game was still in the open. Both outfits were rather conservative in the opening eriods. and the Bulldogs led by only 14 to 10 at the end of the initial half. However, the height ad- antage and superior passing and shooting of the visitors soon began to tell with certainty. Early in the jcond half, the Bulldogs ran up a ten point margin that remained more or less intact for the remainder of he battle. Compton did not give up until the final gun and had climbed to within six points of the foe. COMPTON 4? - GLENDALE 56 i LASHING one of the most brilliant shooting exhibitions of the season, the eagle-eye Glendale Buc- caneers took the Tartars into camp by an eleven point margin. 5 6-47. High scoring merits went to Courtney, stellar Tartar center, who put nineteen points thru the hoop. Captain Berry and McDonald if the Bucs each tallied a total of fourteen digits to take second place honors. Myers of the Tartars was lose behind with thirteen units. The first half was a close battle and an even one. Glendale ' s slightly letter shooting netted a them six point edge when the period ended. 22-28. The Buccaneers started the ast half with a spirited series of handsome shots. In three minutes they had raised the count 34-26. Tom that point on the lead was always in the bans of Glendale. Twice Compton fought their way to within three points of the Bucs. but were then unable to overcome the final few points between them and ' ictory. The Tartars were somewhat better in their floor work than the Glendale five, but as Courtney nd Myers seemed the only men able to shoot consistently, the Tartar floor work was ineffectual. Seventy-Nine 193 High School Varcity High School Varsity Basketball I ALL IN ALL. the Compton high school varsity basketball team had a very successful season. Playing their first year in the big and powerful Coast League, Compton ' s Tartars came thru splendidly to take a third place. Long Beach Poly and Woodrow Wilson, both big city schools, tied for the title with no losses. Then Wilson downed Poly in a play-off to enter the Southland finals. Glcndale ' s strong Dynamiter quintet took second place, slightly in advance of Compton. Also, these three teams were the only ones which were able to defeat the Terrible Tartars of 19 30-31. Compton won four and lost three conference battles to end the season well above 500 percent, in fact with 571 percent. Compton ' s offense was consistently good, and often exceptionally so. The Tartars became fast and accurate passers and dependable dribblers as the season advanced. The shooting was not generally what it might have been, but considering the strong defense systems met up with it was quite good. The best shooting of the squad was done by Hunt. Noble, and Coates, the regular center and forwards. The Compton defensive play was not as tight and effective as might have been possible, but the individual players fought for all they were worth and show:d up very well. The spirit and gameness of the squad was perhaps the key to their success. At no time or in no game did they lay down on the job or give up in the least before the final whistle. The Tartar ' stall play among other fancy and effective plays, a-j chieved fame throughout the circuit and more than once proved its value in saving the game or confusing the opponents. The Tartar squad included some of the classiest players in the whole conference. Noble, blond Tar tar forward, was one of the cleverest and cagiest floormen in the loop. His skill in handling the ball an ' l on defense was not excelled by any man in the region. His consistently spectacular play was often the reason for a Compton victory. The work of Dan Hunt, big center, was also of stellar caliber. His ability on the tip-off and his classy work under the net marked him as a worthy opponent for any of the league centers. Davie Coates, at a forward position, was one of the best shooters on the squad. Captain Glad; Mastain was one of the best passers and shooters on the team. Crain and Thorne were also splendid re serve forwards. The ability of Noel Eckersley. who graduated at mid-year, was of the highest. Prob- ably Eck was Compton ' s surest net marksman. His spectacular long shots were usually sure to go His floor work was also above the average. In Weber, Compton had a running guard par ex cellence. His offensive and defensive ability was remarkable. Not many Coast league guards were even his equal. At standing guard were two alternating stars. Fred Schleibaum and Kenard McLaughlin. Both were brilliant and consistent performers. Their ' s was a stiff job. and they did it well. To Coach Frank G. Powars goes much of the credit for the success of the team. His coaching ability made much of it possibile. He developed a fast, workable system and organized his men well His patient work brought good returns when his proteges took a high place in the powerful, new Coast league in their first year of membership. Eighty ddi ' -u-qdi COMPTON 2 1 - LONG BEACH 44 MEETING ONE OF THE STRONGEST fives in Southern California in their first league battle, the fighting Compton high school varsity went to a 44 21 downfall. The Beach City squad was the outfit which later tied Woodrow Wilson for the conference crown. Long Beach had one of the classiest offensive combinations in prep basketball in recent years. The Jackrabbit defense was also staunch and enduring. Compton ' s Tartars fought gamely every minute of the tough struggle but were unable at any time to seriously threaten the Green and Gold cagers. Red Howard was the star of the game. This flashy Long Beach forward took the personal scor- ing honors with 16 tallies. The first half was a splendid exhibition of shooting with Poly coming out on top. 22-6. Captain Mastain and Eckersley lead the Tartar scorers with seven points each. Compton looked promising against the Jackrabbit marvels, and showed possibilities of a very good season. Eckersley was Compton ' s stellar player. He was seemingly everywhere at once. His classy floor- work and exceptional shooting were one of the bright lights of the game. Captain Mastain and the rest of the squad were right there with the stuff all the while too. With more practice and experience, the Tartar squad should round out into a very smooth-running outfit. COMPTON 50 - SANTA ANA 26 SMARTING from the 44-21 defeat handed them in the conference opener the week before with Long Beach, the Tartar high school varsity came back with plenty of power to fully redeem themselves with a smashing victory over the Saints of Santa Ana in the second battle of the season. The game was as closely contested as any during the entire season. The Saints began the game with a fierce attack which they maintained thru the course of the game until the fourth quarter. The first half was a struggle to see who could stack up a lead that would put them safely ahead. The Santa Ana quintet managed to edge ahead of the fighting Tartars at the half but the Tartars scrambled valiantly into the lead in the closing moments of the tussle. Battling to revenge themselves for the defeat by Poly, the Tartars came thru the game to take the game by four points. This game marked Compton ' s rise to superiority after the crip- pling loss to Long Beach the week before. Offense and defense were vastly improved over former games. The Tartars showed excellent co- operation and spirit. They kept fighting every minute and allowed no let-ups or slackening of pace. Coach Powars may well be proud of his squad for the strong victory they scored over the Saints. All the Compton men were battling with skill and persistence. They show- ed great future possibilities. COMPTON 55 - ALHAMBRA 25 r TARRING NOEL ECKERSLEY, dead-eye basketeer the Comp- vJ ton high school Tartars swept thru the Alhambra Moors for the second Coast conference win of the vear. Eckersley was everywhere on the floor. His shooting was the big event of the evening. Alone he ran up a total of twenty points to take the individual scoring honors of the game. His marksmanship in this game, and through- out the season in general was one of the brightest spots of Comp- ton ' s shining season. At no time the Moors endangered the Tartar score, being completely over-whelmed by the stellar floor-work and shooting of Eckersley, one of Compton ' s all-time, all-school heroes. The defensive and offensive work of the rest of the team was splen- didly done. The passing was smooth and accurate, the defense tight and lasting. In this battle Coach Powar ' s Tartars certainly showed the high quality basketball they were capable of producing. G. Mastain Grain R. White K, McLaughlin Eighty-One i9i COMPTON 20 - FULLERTONi? T ED BY THE BRILLIANT DEFENSIVE work of Dick Weber. L stellar Tartar running guard, the Compton high school quintet swept to their third straight conference victory when they triumphed over the Indians of Fullerton in a torrid tussle, by a score of 20 to 17. The first half was slow but not uninteresting, with both sides playing a steady safe game. The Tartars missed a good many long shots but seemed to be able to break thru the Redskins ' five-man defense with apparent ease. Altho both outfits were obviously sparring for an advantage, the Tartars, by steadier and more consistent play, came out ahead, seven to three. Dave Coates, ex-Oklahoman, made his first appearance with the Tartars in this game. He overcame his stage fright, and soon after the opening of the second half, dropped two field goals neatly thru the hoop. This advantage stirred the locals to still greater work and they soon chalked up a considerable margin over the Indians. However, a late rally by the Fullerton five necessi- tated the famous stall play to save the game for the Tartars. Coates was the leading scorer of the occasion making a total record of five digits. Weber and Noble, Tartar running guards, and Stall, star for the Indians, were next in line with a score of four points apiece. On the whole, the Tartars were showing greatly better form than at any time earlier in the season. COMPTON 20 ■ WOODROW WILSON 29 COMPTON LOST their second Coast league battle to the highly favored Woodrow Wilson Bears. Th e Bears later took the confer- ence title, and advanced as far as the Southern California play-offs. Doped to win easily, the Beach outfit got the surprise of their lives when they encountered the fighting Tartar quintet, and had to ex- tend themselves to take the game. The Bears started off serenely in the opening minutes to play what they fondly supposed to be a cinch game, only to be startled into intense action by the success of the scrappy Tartars. Playing an excellent game and fighting all the way. the Compton team were only a few points in the rear when the half ended, score 15 to 11. Dan Hunt kept the Tartars in the running with a number of well-timed shots. In the opening minutes of the final period, Wilson came to life and began to run a sizeable edge, being at no time after, seriously endagered by the Tartars. Dan Hunt. Tartar center, took high point individual scoring honors for the fray with a count of thirteen points. He and Noble were the only Comp- ton men to do any scoring during the battle. Wilson had a classy scoring trio in Brande. Schmidt and Redfern. some of the best in the Southland. These three did most of the scoring for the Bears. Captain Droopy ' Masterson and Pete Long. Wilson guards, com- pleted the air-tight Bear defense. As the score indicates, the battle was close and thrilling from the first whistle and the fighting spirit displayed by the Tartars in this encounter produced teamwork that the Fullerton players were unable to cope with. EigMy-Tico ddr-u-qd COMPTON 26 ■ PASADENA 22 HAVING LOST ONLY to the league-leading, undefeated Bear and Jackrabbit teams, the Compton Tartars swept on to their fourth conference victory, downing the Bulldogs of Pasadena by a score of 26 to 22. Taking an early lead, the Tartars maintained their fast pace and were at no time headed. The Tartars played a fast breaking game with snappy and expert passing. They con- sistently outplayed the Bulldogs. Working with skill and precision, the Tartar quintet stepped out ahead, and at half-time were two points to the good, with count Compton 12 and Pasadena 10. The second period was much like the first, but it was even better. The Tartars kept up their stellar offensive play and their stout defense. Fast, accurate passing and quick breaking enabled the locals to con- tinually show their superiority to the Bulldog cagesters. Hunt ' s under-the-basket work was the high light of the occasion. Dan led the shooting with a personal score of nine tallies. Noble and Weber, two clever floormen. also ran up good individual totals. These two men are stars of the first magnitude and rank among the best in the conference. Captain Glade Mastain and David Coates, at the forward berths, shone with their passing and floor work, putting thru the set-ups that enabled the others to make the baskets. Coach Powars ' Tartars were certainly performing like the stars they were. COMPTON 2 1 - OLENDALE 36 M ATCHED by the stellar sharp-shooting of Captain Nibley and Foss of the Glendale Dynamiters, the Tartars went down in their third conference defeat at the hands of the Glenale five, runners- up in the final league standings. Swamped by the extraordinary shooting of the two Glendale marksmen, the Tartars were not able to threaten seriously, altho they fought every minute of the game. The offensive style of the Dynamiters was fatal to the Tartar defense. Nibley made set-up after set-up. being passed to continuously by his team-mates. The Glendale five had a considerable advantage in their height and reach. Foss controlled the tip-off and made almost all of his shots on following tosses. The visitors started strong and over- whelmed the Tartars immediately. They ran up a wide margin of 23 to 9 by the time the first half was brought to a close. Foss scored all his shots in the opening half, with Nibley adding nine digits to swell the total. In the second canto. Noble was assigned to guard Foss. He did his defensive work with such skill and thoroughness that the elongated Glendale center was held scoreless. Meanwhile Nibley made eight more points. In this period the Tartars came to and did enough scoring to make a good appearance. Nibley with 1 7 and Foss with 14 were the highest scores of the evening. Hunt with 7 and Noble with 6 lead the Tartar scorers. The tremendous speed and endurance of the Tartar proved the undoing of the Pasadena Bulldogs who were completely snowed- under by the blinding playing of the Tartars. While the score was close enough, the passing ability and footwork of the Tartars were outstanding. Weber F. Schleibaum D. Hunt Eighty-Three 931 High School Middleweights High School Middleweight Basketball PLAYING THEIR FIRST SEASON in the powerful Coast league, the Compton Tartar Middleweights came through to take a strong third place, being beaten only by the two teams finishing above them, Woodrow Wilson and Pasadena. It was only a crippling mid-season slump that lost the Tartar Babes those two battles. Compton had one of the best systems in the conference. Their passing was generally accurate and fast. Their breaking was timely and well-directed. Their general floor work was speedy and purposeful. Their shooting was of the best. Their defense was strong and lasting. The plan of attack used by the Tartar Middles was without superior in the circuit. Starting out strong the Tartars easily downed Long Beach Poly, Santa Ana, Alhambra, and Full- erton with decisive victories. Then came what amounted to a titular encounter with Woodrow Wilson which netted the Tartar Bees their first loss of the season. The offensive and defensive slump which caused this continued another week and enabled the Tartars to lose to the second place Pasadena Bulldogs. Then the Compton five pulled themselves together and romped on Glendale to close the season in a fitting manner. Captain Rex Dixon, Haby, Williams, and Schleibaum were the leading scorers of the squad. God- frey and Haby were two of the classiest Middleweight forwards in the entire loop. Their floor work and shooting was as good as that of any Coast league player. At center was elongated Chuck Williams probably one of the few l eading B ' class tip-off men in Southern California. He had control of the tip-off in almost every game. His beautiful work under the basket was without better. At running guard was Captain Rex Dixon. Dixon was two years an all-Bay league running guard before the Tartars joined the Coast crowd. There has been no better dribbler, passer, or floor general in middleweight or light- weight basketball for a good many years. His shooting was also in keeping with his generally stellar performance. Billie Schleibaum was one of the most versatile and consistent players on the squad. He started the season at standing guard and proved himself to be one of the best with his brilliant defense. Later in the year he was moved to forward due to his dead-eye marksmanship. Here he kept up his ex- cellent work and again showed his full worth. Orr. center. Klepfcr. guard, and Anderson, forward were three classy reserves who saw a lot of service. Coach Powars was also mentor of these Bees in addition to his high school varsity charges. He did outstandingly splendid work with both squads. He developed one of the strongest systems in the entire Southland. His proteges showed the value of his system by placing high in their respective classes in the new and mighty Coast league. Manager Frank Dibble, one of the most experienced in his line the school handled the managerial affairs for the squad. Eiqhty-Four ddi -u-qdi COnPTON 25 - LONG BEACH POLY 2 1 REACHING splendid early season form. Compton ' s middle basket- bailers downed Long Beach Poly by a score of 23 to 21 to start the season — right. The guarding, passing, and shooting of the Tar- tar Bees was altogether too much for the Jackrabbits. The fast play of Compton put them well ahead of the bewildered Jackrabits early in the fray. Compton rolled up a substantial margin and finish- ed the first quarter, well ahead, nine to cne. During the second quarter the Poly five solved the Tartar attack, and cut down Comp- ton ' s lead 15 to 11. Compton did not score in the third, and Long Beach was enabled to deadlock the count at 15-15. In the closing period both teams fought valiantly to make up the narrow margin and get definitely in the lead. Compton kept their small edge and the pame ended. Compton 23-Long Beach .71. Captain Dixon and Williams were the stars for the Tartars. Williams being high point man. COMPTON 28 - SANTA ANA 24 THE SAINT game was the closest game of the season for Comp- on ' s Bees. The Santa Ana team put up a struggle that kept the locals on the go all the game. It was nip and tuck from the start to finish with neither team ever more than a few points in the van. Throughout the opening half both fives fought to gain the upper hand and the advantageous moral asset of being in the lead at half time. Back and forth, up and down the court the two teams struggled, with neither getting decisively ahead. At the half the Saint five narrowly ahead with the count at 13 to 12. During the first part of the last half the Tartars kept fighting and the Saints were unable to enlarge their edge. In the closing minutes of the titanic. Captain Rex Dixon left the game via the personal foul route. Red Anderson dim- inutive forward reserve, took his place and soon put in the two win- ning field goals to win 28-24. COMPTON 26 ALHAMBRA 15 THE MOOR BATTLE coming so soon after the hot Saint en- gagement, was an enjoyable let-down. Continuing to flash their fast offense and tight defense, the Tartar Middles walked away with the game, scoring twice as much as their opponents. Chuck Wil- liams, handsome, big Compton center, was the high point king of the festival. Practically everyone on the squad saw service in this game. The second string was well able to run up a large count without the aid of the regular five. Alhambra was swept from their feet, and what was to have been a close game, turned out to be a walk-away track meet. The Tartar Bees performed with their consistent, ex- cellent form, passing fast and accurately and breaking cannily and rapidly. The Compton plays were too much for the Moors, who could not kecD up with the fast pace set by the Tartars. Coach Powar ' s Tartar Bee class cagesters certainly displayed real championship form against the mediocre Alhambra Middles. Regulars and reserves were running smoothly and doing some of their snappiest work of the season. The Tartar offense featured fast break- ing and dead-eye shooting, while the defense was strong and effective during the entire game. R Dixon WIlliams W. SCHLEIBAUM HaBV Eighty-Five 193 COMPTON 29 - FULLERTON i4 STILL LEADING the strong Coast League, Compton ' s classy Middles took their fourth straight conference win, in a decisive vic- t ' ory over the Fullertcn Indians. Compton. as usual, started right out to play basketball and soon had a seven to one lead over the visitors. This was largely the result of Captain Rex Dixon ' s shooting. After these bewildered opening minutes, the Papooses woke up and staged a belated and not totally effectual rally which brought the score to eleven to nine at the half with the Tartars still in the van. The opening moments of the second half was the exact reverse of the in- i tial part of the first. Compton was now the one that did not seem able to do anything. Fullerton took a small lead at this time. Then Compton aroused themselves with a time-out and came back into the fray determined to regain their edge. This they did, with every mem- ber of the team scoring. They easily ran the Redskins into the ground in the spirited closing quarter. Captain Dixon took individual scor- ing honors for the game with a total of nine points. Haby, Godfrey, and Schleibaum of Compton, and Jordan and Switzer of Fullerton all tallied five digits apiece. Williams, flashy Tartar center was close behind with four units. Compton ' s passing and shooting and play in general was of the highest championship caliber. The Tartar defense was strong and the offense exceptional. The Compton Bees were certainly showing classy form in their series of stylish victories. The Tartar passing was vastly improved over early season games, and the floor-work and shooting were better The Tartar ' s defense had become a purposeful and lasting system. The famous Tartar stall play had played havoc with the well- thought out plans of many handsome systems. The individual abil- ity and clever cooperation of Coach Powars ' Bees was the key to much of their success. Anderson Klepfer COMPTON 1 1 - WOODROW WILSON 20 HALTED by an impenetrable five-defense planned for their small court, the Tartar Middles bowed to the Bear Bees of Woodrow Wilson in the first conference loss for Compton this season. The Bruins had worked out a protective system for the narrow court that spelled disaster for the Tartars. To this effective defense plan, the bears added a fast-breaking, fast-passing offense which proved to be the final blow to the Tartars ' titular hopes. Victorious in the four previous games, the Tartars were leading the conference when they were side-tracked by the Wilson Cubs. Compton started the scoring procession when Captain Rex Dixon sank a long field goal. Then Wilson came back with plenty of fight and led the Tartars by four points at half-time, 10 to 6. The Bruins kept up their fast, air-tight game in the second half, and were at no time seriously endangered by the Tartars although Dixon sank a couple of long tosses and missed a few more by a hair. Stubblefield and McKinley were the chief offensive stars of the Bears, Stubblefield taking individual honors of the game with seven points. Most of Wilson ' s defensive power was due to the work of Jameson and Cann. Captain Rex Dixon was the leading Tartar sharp-shooter. The many foul shots which the Tar- tars missed might well have won the battle, and incidently the Coast loop crown. Eighty-Si x ddr-u-qd COnPTON 18- PASADENA 23 r HPRESSED by a mid-season slump that lost them, the Wilson - game, the Tartar Bees dropped their second straight defeat to the Pasadena Middles, holding the second place standing next ' below Wilson. Compton started out well enough but they were unable to maintain the rapid pace, and the Bullpups slowly but surely crept up on them and finally passed them. Compton did the first scoring of the evening. The first quarter ended with the Tartars ahead, 9 to 1 . This was largely due to the snappy shooting of Schlei- baum who dropped three baskets in the opening moments of the game. Then the Pasadena five began to kick up their heels, but the Tartars still held on to come out at half-time, 11 to 8. The BuUdops started the second half with determination and spirit, and soon the Tartar margin melted away. From that time on the Crown City quintet began to enlarge their edge and finished the game well ahead Brandtley of the Bulldogs took the evening ' s high point laurels with a sum of eleven tallies. Schleibaum led the Tartars with a record of seven digits. Brandtley was the chief cause of the big Pasadena score. His shooting was remarkable in the line of field goals, but he made only three out of fifteen foul trials. Bad passing and loose defense were the greatest reasons for Compton ' s downfall. The loss to the Bulldog Middleweights was the second Tartar loss of the season and relegated the Compton quintet to a third place, following Woodrow Wilson and Pasadena, the only fives to conquer the rampant Tartar cagesters COMPTON - 32 OLENDALE 20 RETURNING to their splendid early season form, the classy Tar tar Middles swept thru the Glendale Bees in a walk-away win to cinch third place behind Wilson and Pasadena in the powerful Coast league of 1930-31. Coming out of their slump , the Tartars decisively trampled the Dynamiters by a twelve point margin in the closing conference game. The Tartars started their second string which soon rolled up a good lead of 5 to 1. Then Glendale made a determined stand and the first team was sent in. This outfit broke the tie and forged well ahead to end the half at the long end of a 1 1 to 8 score. The Tartars went on in the next half half as in the first, scoring a large lead which the Dynamiters were at no time able to imperil. Later in the game the second string was put into the game and Glendale managed to put in a few lonesome scores. Billie Schleibaum. formerly one of the squad ' s best guards, played the game at forward position and again proved his great skill and versatility Haby as the other forward was also playing a stellar game. In fact. the entire squad of two teams was playing an exceptionally classy game of basketball. Greenlee of Glendale was practically the whole team for the Dynamiters. He led his teammates with ten points and was a constant, if ineffectual, offensive threat. The Tartars ended their season properly by decisively whipping the mediocre Glendale Dynamiters. This game showed that they had overcome their crippling mid-season slump and were again play- - dixon ing top-notch basketball. Milledge Eighty-Seven 93 High School Lightweight Basketball COMING THRU their tough schcduk ' splendidly, the Compton high school lightweight or C class basketball team won two out of seven games in the mighty Coast league of 1930-31. The squad was composed of veterans from last season ' s Bay league championship Cee and Dee teams and from a number of fine inexperienced players. The squad was developed into a splendid outfit which should provide plenty of classy material for future Compton weight basketball teams. These Ccc class cagesters went thru their hard schedule with fighting determination to always do their best whatever the scores might be. They certainly accomplished this, winning two hard games and giving all of their competitors a torrid battle. Coach Bill Flannery, Jaysee court star of 1929 and 1930, directed the squad during the first sem- ester. This former Tartar guard was a very able instructor in the fine arts of scoring more baskets than the other side. Working with a squad that was largely inexperienced and unorganized, Flannery formed a bacis for future work. He started these fellows off on what will doubtless amount to fame for many of them. During the majority of the season, that part in the second semester, a new mentor was p rovided to replace Flannery who transferred from school. This new mentor was none other than the famed Rat Eckersley of Tartar A class fame. Noel was perhaps the leading high school basketeer of the season. He graduated at mid-year, however, and played only the early games with the Tartar heavy- weight five. Ranking with the classiest marksmen in the Southland. Noel Eckersley made an excellent leader for the Cee class outfit. His interest and cnrouragement was a great help to the aspiring Light- weights. Being, as he was, a very fitting example qf what a good basketball player should be, Eckersley was a priceless asset to the Tartar Cees. Captain Peach was the 19 30-31 Tartar Cee class captain. Ranking as one of the cleverest Light- weight performers in the new Coast league. Peach was an excellent model for his men to follow and emu- late. His floor work was unsurpassed in the Cee class circles of Southern California. His shooting was of the best. His floor generalship was heady and cool. Mouse Gravitt, diminutive forward veteran from last season ' s Dees, was one of the squad ' s leading players. Although somewhat handicapped by size and weight, he was faster and more agile than most of his opponents. His shooting and floor work were dependable and high class. His speed enabled him to shadow a man as few others could. Fisher, a stellar forward performer, was a scrappy, clever cage- ster. He shot, passed, and guarded with skill and consistency. Nichols, Hanna, and Gamble were other steady Tartar players. Their work was capable and steady. Vincent Schleibaum, one of a long line of marvelous athletes, was a regular guard who did his work with brilliance and finish. He has good possi- bilities ahead. Raney. another guard who saw much service was a stalwart on the defense and a heady player on the offense. Eighly-Eight nkr vol TSliT Track 931 Junior College Varsity Track I COACH HERSCHEL SMITH ' S Compton junior college track and field squad had a marvelous season. The Smithmen. although smitten with their full share of injuries and ineligibilities came thru their long, tough season in great style. The Tartars won the dual-meet and all-conference meet crowns with few close rivals and no equals in the entire Southern California junior college conference. Compton was never defeated and never tied at any time during the entire track season of 1931. They beat Long Beach and Pasadena, their nearest competitors by the same score. 79 to 5 2. Los Angeles, also a strong team, was beaten by thirty-seven points, 84 to 47. Thus they consistently and convincmgly showed their superi- ority to any junior college in a dual-meet. In the all -conference fracas, the Terrible Tartars went even farther and beat all the jaysees of the Southland, more than doubling the score of their nearest rival, the classy Viking cmder-path stars of Long Beach jaysee. In this big meet the Maroon and Gray speedsters set five new conference marks and tied a sixth. They also took seven firsts and tied for another. Certain- ly no jaysee has ever had the aggregation of stars that the Tartars boasted in this season of victory. The 1931 squad also managed to tear down nine of the forimer school records, and spent much of the sea- ' son breaking and rebreaking their own C. J. C. marks. | In Coach Herschel Smith, the Tartars had one of the ablest track and field mentors in the West, bar- • ring no one. His brilliant work as coach brought th: Tartar institution the dual-meet title and a close second in the conference fray last year. This year h: improved on this enviable record and took both the dual-meet and all conference meet championsh ps for 1931. His capability and leadership were im- portant factors in bringing those two crowns to Compton. No praise can be too great for this bashful but brilliant Maroon and Gray mentor. Wally Minch. the leading miler in the conference last year, was put out of the running for the j entire season by blood-poisoning early in the year. However, his teammates recognized his stellar ability and awarded him the captaincy of the squad. He will be able to compete next year, and should be in prime condition. Compton had a choice array of dash men. Warrincr. from Manual Arts, and Morales, from Redon- do, were the best. Morales pulled a leg muscle early in the season and was able to compete about half of the time, and then under a handicap. Warriner took both dashes in the dual-meets, except for losses, to Berry of Pasadena and to Skinner of Long Beach. He was unable to enter the all-conference due to a leg injury. He was consistent at 10 flat and held the school record in the 220 at 21.6 seconds. Hicks was the classiest of the middle distance stars. He was ably supported by Hassen. Courtney, Tatar, and at times by Lawrence. Hicks set school records in the 440 and 880 with times of 49 flat and 1:59.3 respectively. Hicks, Tatar, Courtney, and Hassen combined to form a four-man relay quartet that was equaled only by the Long Beach Viking four. Lawrence was without a peer in the mile. He was the most consistent winner in the conference. Black of Long Beach nearly caught him in the all-conference when Lawrence set a new mark. His best was his school record of 4:29.6 made at Long Beach. Stanley Sweeney was undisputed king of the low sticks, and one of the foremost contenders in the conference in the high hurdles and broad jump. His versatility was remarkable. He netted 110 points to take high point honors for the year. His school mark of 24.4 in the lows is the record that tied the ' famous Jeddy Welch ' s time in the 220-yard low hurdles in the jaysee conference. Sweeney also holds the school broad jump title with a tremendous hop of 22 feet 6 1-2 inches.

Sanchez, who ran off with a first in the all-conference meet, set the highest Compton mark of the season with a jump of 6 feet. Masonheimer was another reliable. It was in the field of the three weight events that the Tartars showed their greatest and most ex- tensive strength. In the shot put and discus throw, Wall and Harper usually alternated, with Wall taking a first in the discus and a second in the shot, Harpjr a first in the shot and a second in the platter-toss. Harper set a new school record in the shot put with a Herculean heave of 46 feet 8 inches, but neither he nor Wall were able to better Charley Orr ' s old mark of 137 feet 4 inches in the discus. Eugene Von Breyman. two-year holder of th: jaysee conference record in the javelin throw bettered his own mark to chalk up a new school distance of 176 feet 3 3-4 inches. This he did in the close S.

Compton tied unofficially with Occidental of the Southern College Conference for the open class leadership. Although somewhat hampered by ill-fortune in a number of events, the Tartars swept on to show their real titular form. Harper, Tartar man-mountain, started the afternoon off right by taking first in the shot with a toss of 44 feet 7 1-4 inches. In this event he got revenge over Shuler of Cal- tech, second place winner, for Shuler ' s clean sweep in the weight events in the Caltech-Compton dual meet. Wall took third, and this ended Compton ' s scoring in the field events. The Tartars took a close sec- ond in the four-man two-mile junior college relay, with Lawrence and Hassen running 2:03 half mile aps. Warriner with a bad start and Morales with a pulled muscle lost out in the hundred. With a mixed relay four of a sprinter, a hurdler, a half-miler. and a quarter milcr. the Tartars tied for first with Los Angeles junior college in the 440 relay, and then took a clear win in the half mile baton-passing event. Thus early in the season the Tartars showed their truly great form. They exhibited their versatility, numbers, and individual ability. Compton stacked up a total as great as Occidental, Southern leaders, in the open events.

The Tartar superiority was so marked and so great that the Compton squad totaled isai nearly twice as much as their university opponents. Besides the many Tartar first-place men, were a goodl)ip r number of men who took seconds and thirds in this and other meets. It is to these worthy earners ol valuable points that such tremendous and consistent victories are often due.

Hicks is the leading middle distance ace of the Southland. He performs witlt; t the best in the dashes also. He has no near rival in jaysee ranks for versatility, consistency, and pure speed His long, easy stride has taken him thru many wins that meant also victory for the Tartar squad Sweeney, persistent high point man of the dual-meets and all-round trackman and athlete, clicked thrJ the 220-yard low barriers in the very good time of 24.8 seconds. Warriner in the century was clockec at 9.8 and in the 220 at 21.6 seconds, the former a tie with the old school record, the latter a better mark i This was the meet which saw Coach Herschel Smith ' s Tartars well under way on their title-chasin; race. The ability of the second and third place men gave promise of a powerful and well-balanced squad Jiinmy Lawrence sprang into prominence as an able jaysee miler to replace Captain Wally Minch, oiit fof the season with injuries. Hicks and Warriner loomed brilliantly as coming champions in the middle dis tances and the dashes, respectively. % I Ninety-Two ddi -u-qdi« ly HAT WAS EXPECTED to be a W very close meet with L. A. J. C. Cubs turned out to be a complete rout favor of the Tartars who ran off with the day at the long end of an 84 to 47 count. The afternoon was a con- tinuous series of sensational events. Lawrence ran a 4: ' 5.6 mile, the fastest .his year, to take an easy first. Warriner, j f Manual Arts ace. took both sprints with Reeder Bateman Swiestra Krueger Sanchez :imes of 10 flat and 22 flat. Hicks, ver- atile flat race star, took a fast win in the quarter and finished right behind Warriner in the 220 to add ight points to the Tartar total. Hassen and Tatar finished one-two in the half-mile. In the eight-lap un Swiestra and Bonham nabbed second and third places. Harper and Hall swapped first and second n the shot and discus. Compton. with Von Breyman leading, made a clear sweep in the javelin. The Tartars took the relay easily, and placed low in other events. ' t r- ,gSj T ' ? ? ?t ' ■ COMPTON 84 - LOS ANGELES 4? COMPTON - 91 SANTA ANA 4o ENGAGING IN ANOTHER of their overwhelming overthrows, the Terrible Tartars of Compton, - downed the Dons of Santa Ana 91-40. Warriner ran another ten flat hundred, against a stiff breeze. Jweeney turned in a fast 25.8 mark in the low sticks. Tatar, doubling for Hicks took the half-mile and ied with Hassen in the quarter. Lawrence ran a slow mile to take a win over the sensational Donahue )f the Dons. Wall and Harper again traded wins in the shot and discus. Beatty of Santa Ana nosed ut Breyman in the javelin. Sweeney shone with a first, second and third respectively in the lows, highs nd broad jump. Brandt took the pole vault at 12 feet, with Smith getting third. Masonheimer managed second place in the high jump with the Don stars. Reeder nabbed a close second in the broad jump. COMPTON 61 - U. S. C. FROSH 65 yiEETING the strongest opponent of the season. Compton ' s marvel track and field squad fought their VI way to the fore and overcame the exceptional versatility and power of the University of Southern California Frosh outfit by two and a half points. Norman Paul, former Santa Ana one-man team, massed nine points with a first in the broad jump, a second in the 100. and a third in the javelin. Warri- ter was not pushed and won the century in ten flat and the furlong in 22.1 seconds. Swiestra, running gainst Ashcraft. set a new school record of 10: 24.8 in the two mile run. Harper took first in the shot lut with a toss of 46 feet 8 inches. This meet was the closest engage- ment of the season. The Trobabe squad N ' .as one of the best balanced and strong- est outfits among freshman competitors on the Coast. In this meet Williamson of Trojan Frosh and Geno Von Brey- man met in a javelin tossing duel. Will- iamson ended up a couple of inches in I lie lead, but Von Breyman broke his 1930 record with a magnificent throw of 176 feet 3 3-4 inches. The Tartar luar-tosser again improved on his own ijcord later in the season with a heave of 182 feet to take a strong third in the I resno Relays. Great things are ahead Warriner Nose! out Paul of S. C. Frosh tor this Strong-armed performer. Ninety-Three II 931 COMPTON 105 - FULLER.TON 28 SCORING their biggest win of the 1931 season, the triumphant and duly terrible Tartars trampled the Ful- lerton jaysec Yellowjackets in an over- whelming conference dual-meet victory. Winning by a tremendous margin of seventy-five points, the Tartars were simply not in the same class with the stingless Hornets. Fullerton, long desir- ous of entering the weaker Eastern divi- sion, found added reasons in this smoth- ering triumph. Ranked by many auth- orities as next to Stanford and Southern California among the track and field giants of the Pacific Coast, the Compton Tartars showed great potential and numerical strength. The squad, admittedly known as the most powerful in Western junior college ranks possessed a bevy of stellar performers such as are seen only in the great universities of the country. Nearly monopilizing the weight events, the Tartars garnered most of the points in the other events. Compton completely out-distanced the Hornet outfit, chalking up a total of nearly four times as much as the result of the Yellowjacket efforts. Reverend Hicks, Tartarl middle distance ace without equal, entered the two dash events and was clocked in the excellent times of 22.4 in the furlong and 10 seconds flat in the 100-yard dash. Harper, one of Compton ' s stellar perform- ers had little difficulty in nabbing both the shot and discus. The size of the score does not indicate the superiority of the Tartars over the Fullerton hopefuls. Smith Brandt Sweeney Bonham COMPTON n - LONG BEACH 52 MEETING the Long Beach junior college Vikin Tartars again showed their championship for tracksters, 79-52. All sorts of wild pre-meet conje this bitterly contested affair. Four Tartar records w pressed by Black of the Vikings. Hicks took the ha hurdle events, took the broad jump with a new scho pleasing upset of the day was Compton ' s win over t Beach ' s first defeat in their favorite event in two yea century and a second in the 220 dash. Brandt an took all the firsts and second in the three weight eve man took an unhindered first in the javelin thro the high point man of the meet with three firsts fo gs in one of the hottest dual meets of the season, the ' m by convincingly defeating the Black and White ctures were made as to the probable final outcome of ere broken. Lawrence ran the mile in 4:29.6, closeiyj If in fast time at 1:59.8. Sweeney, after copping both I ' jj, ol record of 21 feet 7 1-4 inches. Perhaps the mostii he Vikings in the relay in 3:27.8. This was Long rs. Warriner, Tartar sprint ace. took a first in the d Smith tied for second in the pole vault. Compton, nts. Wall and Harper again trading wins. Von Brey- I w. with Groves in second place. Stan Sweeney was 1 r fifteen points. COMPTON ?9 - PASADENA 52 ' ' OMPTON MET another of the conference ' s strong teams the next week and downed the Pasadena — Bulldogs by the same score that the Tartars had run up to whip the Vikings. This was the meed that cinched the Southern California jaysee dual-meet championship. Hicks took the quarter in 50.6, and then tied with Hassen and Tatar, both of Compton, for first in a 2:02.6 half-mile. Berry, Bulldog dash star, nose out Warriner in both sprints. Lawrence won as he pleased in the mile run. Sweeney took the low hurdles, but bowed to Reed and Bock of Pasadena in the high sticks. Sanchez took thd high jump at 5 feet 10 inches. Barndt and Smith, tied with Prior of the Bulldogs for first in the pol vault at 12 feet. Hueston Harper and Elliot Wall again annexed the two head places in both the shot anc discus events. Harper took the shot with a toss of 45 feet 10 inches and the discus with a heave of 121 feet 1 inch. This last record was only a half-inch better than Wall was able to do in his pet event. Von Breyman again took the javelin. Compton easily cleaned up in the four- lap relay. Ninety-Four ddi ' -u-qdi COMPTON91 -GLENDALE39 -pHE UNDEFEATED Tartar track 1 and field squad finished a handsome lual-mcet season with a land-slide win )ver the Glcndale jaysee Buccaneers. Two more school records were smashed n this battle. Running the half-mile vith the same smoothness and ease with .vhich he ran fast mile races, Jimmy awrence bettered Hicks ' 880 mark with time of 1:S9.6 for the two laps. j Montell Morales Warriner Kelly iwecney cut down the high sticks mark ' ith a sensational race of 15.8 seconds. He also took the lows and the broad jump for high point honors. ' v4orales and Hicks traded first and second in the dashes. Kelly took the quarter easily. In the mile Tatar ' nd Smith of Compton took the first two places. Brandt took the pole vault at 12 feet 3 inches, with vcnyon Smith second and Diebold third. McLaren and Wall together took fourteen points in the shot Sarr,;|jnd discus. Von Breyman easily took the javelin with a toss of 167 feet 8 1-2 inches. LliliQ pt[f« yI JUNIOR COLLEGE CONFERENCE MEET see amassed 5 5 1-2 digits to run rough-shod thru what was supposed to have been a close All-Con- erence meet. Eight records were smashed and another tied as the cream of the Southland junior college rack and field stars joined in the premier jaysee meet of the year. Lawrence opened the meet with a win ti the mile. He beat blond Bill Black of Long Beach by about an inch. His time was 4.32. not as good s he did in dual-meets but plenty fast enough to better the existing Southern California junior college onference mark by two seconds. Hicks romped thru the quarter in 49 flat to establish another conf erence ecord. Courtney took a close third. Earle of Long Beach took the half in the very fast time of 1:58.7 or another new mark. Berry of Pasadena upset the dope and took both sprints in the splendid times of 7 and 21.3 respectively, with Warriner out with injuries. Morales came thru to take a valuable fourth 1 the furlong. Johnny Sanchez staged another surprise by nabbing a first in the high jump. He was he only entrant to clear the bar at six feet. Sweeney, usually high point man in the dual meets, repeated lis pet habit and took a second in the broad jump and the high hurdles and a first in the low sticks for total of eleven digits, the best individual record of the meet. His 24.4 low hurdle mark tied the old ecord. His 22 feet 6 1-2 inches broad jump bettered the old school mark by about a foot. Von Brey- lan ' s 174 feet 5 inches mark in the javelin beat his own old conference mark. Harper took the shot at 6 feet 5 1-2 inches and the discus at I 29 feet 3 inches, both new conference records. Wall took a second [1 the shot and a third in the discus. Berry and Saunders of Los Angeles tied Brandt, Tartar star, at 1 2 feet 1-2 inches, in the pole vault. Compton ' s only near competitors were Long Beach with 17 1-2 points, .OS Angeles with 19 1-4. and Pasadena with 22 1-4 digits. This meet was the crowning glory of an exceptionally successful season. It cinched the jaysee supre- lacy of Coach Herschel Smith ' s Tartar track and field outfit. It was the most impressive victory that he jaysee conference meet has ever seen. Even with Warriner out with injuries, the Compton squad was triumphant over the pick of Southland junior college athletes. Thi s meet marked the peak of the season ' s success, altho the Compton team entered the West Coast Relays at Fresno and copped a close fifth place. It was at Fresno that Law- rence permanently squelched Bill Black of Long Beach when the Tar- tar ace beat him in their half mile lap on the two mile relay. Lawrence re- ceived the baton about ten yards be- hind Black. Then Lawrence made up that ten yards and added another five or ten yards to win in a walk-away Warriner. Hicks, and Morales all place in 220 rmish. Ninety-Five 931 High School Varsity Track COACH HAROLD LOVEJOY ' S high school varsity track and field squad had only medium success in their first year in the powerful, big Coast league. Compton, with only a small suburban area from which to draw talent, showed up splendidly with a wealth of material and a number of individual stars. Long Beach Polytechnic high school took the Coast league dual-meet championship with a record of all straight victories. The Jackrabbits defeated San Diego in their final double-meet to conquer the only other previously undefeated track and field outfit. As a team, Compton was no match for such pow- erful aggregations as these yet they often gave their opponents the scare of their lives by forcing many close wins. The Tartar squad possessed a number of the classiest individual stars in the conference. These stellar performers with the many other dependable point-earners put up a great scrap in the titular Coast loop struggle. Mentored by Coach Harold Lovejoy. one of Compton ' s best track and all-round coaches, the inex-; perienced and experienced of the early season days were brought together under a head of veteran track andi field performers. His work in developing the Tartar squad of 1931 is outstanding, and will be felt more and more as these men advance onward in future years, building on the firm foundation given them by Coach Lovejoy. The patient, skillful work of this welMiked sports director is well worthy of highest praise. The Tartar varsity track team ot 19M was 1, ' d by the brilliant George Boone, versatile performer. Boone did his best work in the pole vault. He was Cjmpton ' s best and steadiest entrant in the bamboo event. As a leader he was very good. This is Boone ' s last year and his loss by graduation will be sorely felt. Plato Smart, dusky Tartar star was one of thj outstanding performers in the Coast conference. His versatility was astounding. He was one of the speediest sprinters in the circuit. He has been clocked offici- ally at 10.1 seconds in the century race, and was capable of 10 flat if pushed hard. Smart was beyond a doubt the most brilliant low hurdles performers in high school ranks in the Southland. His fast timt, of 26.1 seconds in the 220-yard low sticks bettered all others. Smart also showed up exceptionally weL in the 22-yard dash. In this flat race he took first at Long Beach at the beginning of the season in th(| good time of 23.5 seconds. Smart also ran the anchor lap on Compton ' s stellar relay four, the team thai set the best dual mark of the season. Heacock, another Tartar speedster, was the regular Tartar entrant in the 220 and usually competec in the 100 in addition. He registered a number of excellent marks. His speed could always be dependec upon to bring in a few necessary points in almost any meet. He also was one of the crack four-man half- mile relay team. tJrW High School Varsity Track ddr-u-qdr Miner was Compton ' s outstanding star in the quarter- mile. Miner was the ranking Coast league entrant in the one-lap race. He was clocked at 5Z..8 seconds, bettered only by Arguello of San Diego and Snodgrass of Alhambra. Phiffer and Pohl were Compton ' s two best men in the 880- run. Displaying speed and consistency throughout the entire season, these two Tartars were always certain of nabbing a number of points in every meet. In the mile was the Tartar tour-lap star. Chaffee, veteran of many wins. He showed splendid form all season and chalked up a lot of points with his steady, space-eating pace and cast-iron endurance. Chaffee turned in some fast times during the season that ranked him right up with the best of the league. Russell White is one of the two or three outstanding high stick artists of the Coast loop. He has done the 120-yard high barriers in 16.5 seconds, bettered only by Culp of Long Beach and Anderson of Alhambra who have both done the course in 16.2. White was one of the most consistent point-earners, and placed in the Coast league preliminaries. In the high jump Compton had a number of good men. but no outstanding entrants. Smart was one of the most consistent. Adding this event to his others proves his successful versatility. Nuzum, Noble. and White also engaged in this event. Henry Nuzum was the premier broad jumper of the Coast league in the 1931 season. Nuzum ' s tre- mendous hop of 22 feet 8 inches would put most jaysee and college jumpers to shame. He certainly has every earmark of becoming one of the best broad jumpers in the state at his rate of developement. He easily won his way into the loop finals. Captain George Boone was the leading Tartar pole vaulter. He was always reliable at 1 1 feet 6 inches in the bamboo event, and ran up a good total of points in his favorite event. His good form and general consistency were great assets to his team, and he copped many firsts in his event. Kenny Carpenter and George Boone were the most reliable Compton entrants in the shot, and rang up a lot of places between themselves. Carpenter ranks next to Darracque of Fullerton as the best shot putter in the Coast outfits. Darracque put the ball 49 feet. Carpenter shoved it 47 feet 4 inches. Boone was never far behind making many good tosses himself. In the discus throw, Carpenter and Jimmy Hutton were the leading Tartar entrants. Carpenter had no superior and no equal in this event in the Southland prep ranks. His 1 29 feet 4 1-2 inches toss in the Glendale dual-meet was the best of the year. Nuzum Smi rt R. White Left: G. Boone Right: Miner. Carpentfi; Ninety-Seven 931 High School IVliddleweight Track ENGAGING IN THEIR FIRST SEASON in the mighty Coast league, the Compton Middleweight track and field squad enjoyed a moderately successful season. Meeting such big schools as Long Beach. Woodrow Wilson, and Pasadena, the Tartars showed their fight and ability, completely satisfying their supporters. A number of new stars were developed or uncovered during the course of the year and all the team made fine showings. Fighting valiantly all season, the Tartar Bee class tracksters gave their oppo- nents stiff scraps, and no competitor ever won without experiencing a close-contested and hotly- fought battle with an abundance of thrilling moments. The Compton Bees included come of the classiest Mid- dleweight performers in this part of the state. Despite somewhat erratic form the team as a whole came thru to show Compton that they had the stuff and could produce it when need be. Headed by Coach Harold Lovejoy. who enjoyed considerable success with his Tartar high school varsity squad, the Bees went thru their season with a good record of hard work, honest effort, and good sportsmanship. Coach Lovejoy discovered some very classy performers during the 1931 season. His skillful coaching work was rewarded by the success of his men in sctitng new league records and school records. His work on the Bee squad will provide next year ' s varsity crew with a goodly number of rap- idly advancing track and field stars. Eddie Tatman. star half on the Middleweight football championship team, was the outstanding Tartar dash man. His performances in the century were without a superior. He ranks as one of the greatest Middleweight dash stars in the Southland. He was very consistent around 10.3 and 10.4 seconds in the 100-yard dash. He was very ably seconded by Art Leeming. another Tartar sprint ace of the highest class. Lecming was never more than a split second behind the brilliant Tatman. In the 220-yard dash. Leeming, Glaze. Lay, and Shunk did most of Compton ' s running. Leeming was by far the most consistent, altho the others ran fast races at times, and all four stacked up a good- sized total in the event. Sutherland was the steadiest Tartar winner in the 660-yard run. He always navigated the lap- and-a-half in fast time, and made his full share of points in his favorite event. This 660-yard run was comparable to the 880-yard or half-mile middle distance race of the varsity and jaysee divisions. f I I High School Middle- weight Track Ninety-Eight ddr-u-qdr Aparis was the leading Maroon and Gray contender in the 13 20-yard run. He turned in a consid- erable number of fast times. He was consistent and had a steady, easy stride that got him places. He was accompanied in this three-lap affair by Hastad and Shunk. two other good Tartar runners. This 1320- yard or three-quarter of a mile run in Bee class competition is comparable to the mile event in the varsity meets. The stellar and versatile Fatman. again showed his enormous capabilities by achieving recognition as one of the leading 120-yard low hurdlers of Southern California Middleweight ranks. Always con- sistent around 14 seconds flat. Tatman cut down his time to 13 seconds flat for the 120-yard trip over the low barriers. Manier. Anderson, and Gascon were the leading Tartar contestants in the 70-yard high hurdle races. These men came thru splendily. winning a number of valuable places in the dual-meets of the 1931 season. In the broad jump event Compton had two very worthy entrants. Miller and l,aws shared the Tartar honors earned in the broad jump. These two men were quite reliable around twenty feet in al- most any meet, running off with plenty of places. Gordon Orr was Compton ' s leading high jumper. He was quite depenadble for well over five feet. Miller. Cee class football captain, was another leading Tartar high jumper who registered some good jumps. Anderson. Miller, and Gascon, all very versatile track and field stars, were the leading men in the pole vault event. These three ran up good-sized totals in the bamboo event, for much needed points at crucial times. All were quite certain of marks above ten feet in any meet. Spaulding, Williams, and DeHetre, all stars of the Tartar Middleweight football champions of the Coast league, were among the elading participants in the Bee class weight events of the season in the Coast loop. All had distances of well over ninety feet. Few other entrants in the conference were able to better such a goodly array of weight-tossing talent as these three men presented. Williams and DeHatre will be back next year to compete probably for the varsity squad. Williams and DeHetre monopolized the shot put and were usually able to nose out any and all Middleweight opponents. Both men were consistent with tosses of around forty feet, altho both did much better in a number of meets. Thus displaying a raft of talented stars, the Compton Tartar Middleweight tracksters succeeded in carrying out a very successful season amidst new and very powerful Bee class competition. They kept doggedly at their work and came through to satisfy the rooters completely. Ninety-Nine 193 High School Lightweight Track C PORTING TWO of the classiest performers in thhe conference in their favorite events, the Compton v high school lightweight track and field squad went thru a highly gratifying season in the newly- formed and exceptionally powerful Coast League. Starting, largely, as a bunch of green-horns in the early season, the Tartar Gees climbed rapidly in strength. By hard work these little fellows advanced as rap- idly is actual proportion as any other squads, high school or junior college. The Lightweights began the season with very few experienced men. The majority of G;e class candidates were willing and eager but entirely untrained. It was with this Gee class squad that Goach Lovejoy probably did his greatest basic and construc- tive work. Goach Lovejoy not only directed the lightweights, but also the high school Middleweights and the high school varsity track and field outfits. Yet he somehow managed to find time to develop one of the leading Gee class aggregations of the mighty Goast circuit. By steady, purposeful work Goach Love- joy brought order out of chaos, and developed a smooth-running, versatile, group of cinder-path enter- tainers. His Gee class squad of 1931 will doubtless form the nuclei for many another Bee class or var- sity squad of the coming few years. Harold Lovejoy certainly deserves a lot of honest praise for his dili- gence and patience and personal interest in developing three separate sets of track and field teams at the same time. The success of his stellar performers is certainly a splendid indication of Lovejoy ' s success. Furman is one of the classiest if not the very best lightweight pole vaulters of recent years in the Southland. Furman was without any serious rival this season and continued to show high form all season long. He has been two seasons under the tutelege of Goach Lovejoy. and bodes well of becoming a lead- ing vaulter as he develops still further. Furman was highly instrumental in many of his team ' s victories. His first in the bamboo was always forthcoming. Fisher, one of the leading broad jumpers in Gee class circles in the Goast league, got off a number of stellar hops in every meet. He was dependable and showed highly developed form. Ranking with the best, he was one of the main-stays of Goach Lovejoy ' s Gee class scoring machine. Fisher has more high school competition ahead of him, and he bids fair of becoming a very nifty broad jumper before he graduates. Lovejoy ' s Light- weight Track Group I ■i One Hundred Baseball 193 I Varsity Baceball Team Junior College Varsity Baseball FEATURING a heavy hitting Murderers ' Row and graced with a flashy array of fast fielders, the Tar- tar baseball nine swung into action with Southern California as its first victim. The team rapidly click- ed off victories against the Southern California Dentists, Banning. San Pedro, California Tech, Engineers, Woodbury ' s College, White Sox, and then concluded a successful practice season by defeating the Whit- tier Poets by top-heavy scores. With the hard working, genial Coach Smiling Eddie Suggett at the hefm, Compton almost ruined the opponents by their terrific hitting and clean fast fielding. At the present writing, the Compton nine appears to have an excellent opportunity to bring home to Compton the third major sport championship to fit in with the pennants already won in football and track. The team seems to be well in line to carry thru to the top of the pennant scramble. Coach Suggett has developed a team this year which is an outstanding threat to other pennant aspirants. After shifting his team about. Coach Suggett has found his strongest lineup and appears to be well on his way in the chase for the flag. Captain Frank Star Schleibaum, the Tartar third baseman held down the hot corner admirably and is a player of outstanding ability. He is one of the outstanding third basemen in the league, fielding excellently and hitting well over 350. Star is a made over shortstop and carries on Compton ' s traditions, the captain is another third-sacker to the Compton nine. Johnny Bladel. catcher, was one of the best men on the team until he was injured and was forced to discontinue playing. Eugene Carlson is also a catcher who fields and bats well. Rosy Gilhousen is one of the first-string chuckers of the team. When not engaged in pitching. Rosy plays the outfield and makes life miserable by breaking up well-pitched ball games by his timely hitting. Lefty Rittenhouse is perhaps the best pitcher on the Compton team. James has an exceptional smoke ball and possesses excellent control. He was a little late in attaining condition, but is now among the best in the league and is all set to wind up his junior college base ball career in a blaze of victories. Brownie Chambers is a relief chucker and appears to be ready for better things. Brownie was a bit slow in conditioning but now appears to be ready for fast company. Howard Chief Newman developed a sore arm just when he appeared to be ready to take a regular turn in the box. James Sunny Jim Hall appears to be among the best first basemen in junior college baseball and seems destined for the All-conference ball team. I One Hwidred Tivo ddr-u-qdi Mart Iriyc. second baseman, again will be the all-conference second baseman. This is the unanimous verdict of all baseball judges after watching Mart perform on the diamond. Mart seems to do everything well, he fields excellently and is a dependable hitter. Howard Krueger. Compton ' s left fielder, fields well and hits with the best. Kruegcr is the fastest man on base in the jaysee conference, often beating out hits that seem cinch put-outs. Compton ' s horsehiders opened their baseball season by trouncing the Southern California Dental aggregation uo the tune of a 16-5 lacing. The Compton team scored runs in all but the third and lucky seventh innings. Compton made a joke of the game by parading all of the local pitchers. Rosy Gilhous- en. Lefty Rittenhouse. and Chief Newman, to the mound to show their prowess in the season ' s opener. Compton jumped into the lead in the first inning and were never headed. The Dentals came back strong in the latter stages of the game, but. as the score indicates, fell short by twelve runs of annexing the ball game. Rosy Gilhousen gets credit for the victory, having chucked a heady and excellent ball game. Can- field. Schleibaum, Bladel and McAughen led with the stick, Canfield poled out two long homers. With Rittenhouse chucking, the local ball team walked off with an easy 8 to 3 victory over the White Sox. With Canfield, Gilhousen, and Hall leading the Compton hitters, and Rittenhouse holding the White Sox well in leash, the losers made a vain attempt to break the spell, but were unable to over- come the lead. Iriye, Canfield, Schleibaum, Hall and Bladel fielded excellently for Compton. The White Sox had downed the strong Los Angeles jaysee cubs the day before by a count of 7-5. Later, a week before the Cub-Tartar fray, the White Sox walloped the Cubs 10 to 1. With ' Sunny Dell Canfield, diminutive Compton shortstop, leading the attack, Compton went out to avenge the previous defeat, and forced Southern California Frosh to suffer the consequences. Rosy Gilhousen and Lefty Rittenhouse shared the hurling duties between them as the Tartar nine drove the Southern California Frosh baseball team to cover by means of a barrage of base hits. As usual, Iriye, Bladel, Hall, and Schleibaum starred in the field and Canfield and Iriye featured the slugging attack with Canfield getting four hits out of six times at bat, and Iriye connecting with the apple for three hits out of four tries. And then came disaster with Compton ball players losing a torrid battle as the Los Angeles Cubs eked out an 8-5 victory over the toothless Tartars. The heralded Compton batters were over- come with stage fright and were unable to connect with any solid hits, except Dell Canfield, who, in order to atone for some miscues in the field, hit a terrific homer over the distant center field bleachers in the fifth inning. This game was featured by some miraculous play in the field. Both Sturm of L. A. J. C. and Iriye had a field day to determine which was the better. Both made several ' impossible ' stops and easily walked off with the day ' s fielding honors. Gilhousen was hit hard and Rittenhouse was rushed in but too late and L. A. J. C. walked off their field with the victory of the first league game of the season. As if to atone for their previous defeat, Compton went forth to Pasadena, and led by Bladel, Hall, and Iriye, who starred in the field and at the bat. Compton defeated Caltech by a score of 7-2. With both Gilhousen and Chambers pitching, the Tartars were well-nigh invincible and the Engineers found this latter out to their sorrow. Krueger. Hall, and Schleibaum played well for Compton. Using Bladel as a lead-off man to set off the spark of a terrific Tartar attack, Compton defeated Whittier, a hitherto undefeated nine, in a torrid slug-fest. This wild and woolly game terminated with a score of 9-8. Splendid fielding and heavy hitting featured the game. Sinatra and Edwards featured the Whittier attack with the latter straightening out one of Chambers slants to give it a ride to the far dis- tant climes for a totality of four bases. The damage was doubly acute as the long-distance clout scored a runner ahead of it. However, Bladel, Iriye, and Isiri nullified the effects by their barrage of hits and led Compton ' s Tartars to victory. The Poets had the strongest team in the Southern college conference. One Hundred Three 931 High School Varsity Baseball - ' OMPTON HIGH SCHOOL ' S baseball squad had a rather unsuccessful season. This was the first , year of competition in the newly assembled and revised Coast League. Such metropolitan schools as Long Beach Poly. Woodrow Wilson. San Diego and Pasadena, with their larger student bodies to draw material from, were members of this powerful and overlargc conference. Not getting the support that football and basketball received poor baseball had to struggle along with what few fellows who were earnestly interested. Playing to small crowds, the horse hiders got but little encouragement. The game has declined almost to the status of a minor sport. Thus those few fellows battled on all season, playing in a sport that did not receive its fair share of popularity. These dozen or so men who were carried on the squad fought hard and played excellent baseball all season. As individual players they were of a quality ranking them with the best in the conference. Directed by Coach Paul E. Mickey, the diamond squad battled on gamely. 7 he mentor of the nine worked hard and skillfully, producing a team that was capable of great things, whatever the effect of chance, ineligibility, or injury. Mickey developed, during the short season allotted baseball, a well- rounded out team with good hitting and fielding abilities. However unsuccessful the year, Coach Mickey deserves the highest of praise for accomplishing good results under handicap. Captain Billie Schleibaum. usually playing third base but capable in any capacity, was one of the few really experienced horsehide ' ns from last season. One of a great family of athletes, more especially baseball players, Billie kept up the old traditions and proved himself one of the best diamond stars possible. Schleibaum had an accurate peg. was a fast and clever infielder, and batted with consistency and a high class form. Another Schleibaum, this time Fred or Aimee ' saw a lot of service as regular catcher. His work behind the bat was dependable and consistent. At the plate Fred was a steady batter, laying out some valuable hits at crucial moments. At first was Bill Verbeck, regular first-sacker from last season. Bill did splendidly in the Bay League and no less so in the Coast League. He was a clever, heady player at his base, and could always be depended on to do the correct thing at the proper time. Besides his excellent infielding, he was a hard hitter at the plate. Verbeck is one of the steadiest first basemen that Cotapton has had for a long time. Jennings, alternate regular catcher, performed with skill and dependability behind the bat in many of the conference encounters. He was a clever and steady catcher. Miller, an experienced player from last season saw much service in the infield at second base. Here, as in the outfield, where he also saw considerable action. Miller was regular and dependable. He hit and fiielded well. Brockman, who played One Hundred Four ddi -u-qdi much of the time at third base, was as good an infielder for the hot corner as could be desired. He also act- ed as a reserve pitcher and was a chucker of no mean ability.. Brockman. in addition to these many classy points, was one of the best hitters on the squad. Another regular was Oklahoma David Coates. sleepy and lankey short stop star. At his job in the close-in pastures, he was one of the classiest men in the con- ference. His work was spectacular, yet constant. At the plate, he was on Compton ' s few really stellar hit- ters. A good many times during the season his bat gave the ball a long ride which enabled the Tartars to bring in a few runs. Coates. also a stellar basketball player, was one of Compton ' s most valuable men. Clarence Pearl, regular twirler. was a star on the mound. He pitched steady and brilliant games throughout the season. As a classy and dependable chucker he had few equals in the Coast Circuit. When I not on the mound spent most of time in the field where he performed very well. Herb Leisten. an- I other old reliable, was a valuable man in the outfield. His fielding was done with a high finish. His bat- i ' ting was up with the very best. Gregory, stubby fielder from the outer pastures, was one of the cleverest 1 fly-chasers in the Tartar aggregation. His fielding was of the very best. Phene Bonnett, reserve twirler, saw much service where he showed up very well with his work. Throughout a season of seven tough engagements. Compton was unable to win a single game. This !. was due quite largely to repeated errors. To take three of ti:e later games, the ones with Pasaciena. Fuller- ton, and Woodrow Wilson, would give a good birds-eye view of the trend of the season. The Tartars dropped their fourth league game to Fullerton, 9 to 7. In this battle the Tartars totaled a dozen hits to a sum of ten for the foe. Two homers by the Indian hitters in the first part of the tussle seemed to settle the outcome. The lead was too much, although Compton rallied late in the game in a futile effort to forge ahead. Coates and Leisten lead the Tartars stick-wielders with three hits out of five trips to the plate Against Wilson, the Tartars fell down to 7 to 4. The Bears put over two runs in the opening inn- ing, and Compton was unable to tie the count until the fifth. In the seventh Wilson brought in three cir- icuit trips to nab a large lead. In the eight innning the Brums sewed up the game with another pair of runs. Compton rallied in the ninth but were only able to score two runs to fall short by three. Billy Schleibaum. Leisten. Coates. Bonnett, Weber and Brockman netted hits. The Pasadena encounter was another sad story for the Tartars, ending in a 6 to 1 downfall to the Bulldogs. Howard Cosbey. stellar Crown City twirler, was the star of the game, holding the Tartars to three scattered hits and a run. Compton ' s only score came in the seventh w ien Verbeck got first on a field- ers choice and was scored on Bonnett ' s triple over the center field fence. The prevalence of avoidable errors all over the lot accounted in large for the generally unfortunate season for the erratic Tartars. The hitting was really quite fair but the fielding was not as coordinated [and consistent as was possible. Often the Tartars played exceptionally good ball in the field only to break [down and allow a string of runs to pass over the plate on indifferent catches or wrong throws. With a longer practice season and more wide-spread interest much of this would have been avoided. Th e hitting, on the whole, was good enough, but chuckers which Compton met up with was an im- portant factor in the Tartar down-fall. Some of the best prep twirlers in the state were pitching against the unsteady Compton crew. What hits were knocked out were too scattered to accomplish much in the way of stacking up a big score. Some of the Tartars were very good batters but the hitting habit was not prevalent enough to net the Tartars many scores. Back in the Bay league a more equal set of pitchers will bring the Tartar batting averages up where they properly belong, that is among the very best. A number of horsehiders will be lost to the squad by graduation and withdrawal, but there will still remain a strong outfit to form the nucleus of the 1932 Tartar stick-wielders. A number of men sprang into the limelight this season after enjoying only a mediocre degree of ability and finish last year. The same procedure is due to repeat itself next year as in other days. i The competition will be more Compton ' s speed when the Tartars re-enter the old Bay league of Iwhich Compton was for many years a member. Compton showed up well in the gigantic Coast league, ;but still the Tartars were badly outclassed. They met such metropolitan schools as Long Beach, Pasadena, and Glendale. These institutions have a considerably larger enrollment than Compton and hence have imore material from which to select. In the revised Bay league the high school will have foes of a more ' nearly equal strength. Santa Monica. San Pedro, pnd ossibly Fullerton will be Compton ' s Bay league com- Spetitors in 19 32. With a number of men returning and more coming stars soon to enroll, the Tartar base- iball prospects of next year are again reaching imposing possibilities. One Hund red Five 1931 Pederson Zackheim Godfrey Yell Leaders Pall Semester SAMMY ZACKHEIM, enthusiastic Compton favorite, reigned during tl:)e hectic days of football, aj yell king. His never ceasing energy found Compton students willing subjects, who responded with all that was in them, to his exhortations to shout forth their loyal and triumphant cries of Tartar victory. Sammy, assisted by Pete Pederson and Wes Godfrey, carried this self-same pep to the assemblies, sending the loyal Tartars away, eager to see and cheer the coming fray. Caravans to the Santa Ana and: Pasadena meets, made up by the rooters, who formed a long procession in cars decorated with flying ' colors of maroon and gray. Maroon and Gray, symbolic of the Tartars and the fighting spirit, which won for Compton its share of championships, waved from the goal post and bleachers. As kings of pep, they kept the crowds at an intense pitch of excitement by their cheer leading, and by the stunts which they staged between halves of the game. The fall semester was rich in glory and pep and much praise is due Sammy, Pete, and Wes for their loyalty and never ending enthusiasm. One Hundred Six A Minor Sports 93 Junior College Wrestlers Junior College Wrestling Team COACH BILL KIMBALL ' S junior college wrestling team came througli to a flying finish in their tough mat season. Meeting all the toughtest bone-crushing teams of the Southland, Kimball ' s Tar- tar wrestlers went through a season marred by no ties and only one loss, the defeat at the hands of the pow erful San Diego Athletic Club ' s array of amateur stars from high schools, colleges, and ex-navy title holders. At no time was any other mat outfit in the same class with the Tartars. With Pasadena a; their only serious rival, the Compton squad swept majestically through the Southern California junior col lege circuit, and in addition took on some of the classiest amateur teams in the region including athletii clubs and colleges. Coach Bill Kimball proved to be a most successful mat instrutor. Kimball was a star wrestlei at Whitticr high school. In 1929 he swept through all competition to take the coveted state title ir his class, defeating some of the best in the country. Kimball came to Compton jaysee last fall. He wa one of the classiest wingmen in the state as a member of the 1929 state jaysee football champs. Thei he took up the burden of turning out a lot of raw recruits into first-class wrestlers. How he succeedec can be measured by the success of the two teams he mentored. His jaysee outfit took the jaysee ma title and his high school squad finished high in the seasonal standings. Not all great athletes are gooc coaches, in fact the dual-combination is rare. But Kimball was probably one of the very best wrestlin; instructors on the Pacific Coast. He knew the sport as few people ever will, and he knew men and hov to handle them to achieve the best results. Starting the season with very few mat veterans in the jay see corral and none in the high school bunch, Kimball went ahead to create out of this green materia two of the best sets of bone crushers in this part of the country. 7 he fact that he produced two class teams at the same time is an added credit to his ability as a coach and wrestler. The jaysee ' s first meet was their overwhelming win over the strong U. C. L. A. Frosh matmc: under Coach Hollinsworth. Then the Tartars downed the mighty L. A. A. C. outfit by a count o 18-17 in what was probably fheir best win of the season. Later in the season the Fullerton jaysee wa squelched to the tune of 28 to 15 by a triumpant Tartar squad. Pasadena jaysee. the only otht really strong member of the jaysee loop was the next Compton victim. Compton also beat ' Whittie high school, whose forte is wrestling, by a score of 15-14 in a slow match. Thus the Tartars wo their won their jaysee dual-meet wrestling title for 1930. Then they swept through the Souther California junior college conference bouts victorious, taking three firsts and five seconds. The un limited. 165-pound, and 145 -pound classes were clean sweeps for the Tartars. Ostling. 1929 chamf Captain Mel Addington. and Valenzuela took first places in these classes respectively. Ikebasu, 192 fly-weight title-holder, was only able to take a second in the 115-pound class, competing against th California prep champ of 1929. Limerick funlimited ) . Grove;; (165). Dakin (155). and Burnsid (145) also took seconds. I )ne Hundred Eight J ddr-u-qdr Back Row Kimball Limerick OSTLING Addington Dakin burnside Valenzuela Front Rom Kitada Miyamoto Ikebasu Kiyomura id Bill Junior College Wrestling Champions ' ' OMPTON HAD A STRONG array of wrestlers in all the divisions. The team was well filled- — out and very nicely balanced. Jed Ostling. 1929 jaysee heavyweight champion, and Ikebasu, 19 29 15-pound title-holder, were a couple of returning veterans. Captain Melvin Addington. last year ' s ompeting coach, was about the only other returning wrestler of outstanding ability. However, there vas plenty of capable material that needed only a little instruction and experience to put them up with he best wrestlers. In tne heavyweight division were Clark. Limerick, Hall, and upon occasion. Ostling. Clark, vho competed only until the end of the first semester, was the best in the class. He weighed over 200  ounds and was a skillful manhandler. Limerick, another novice, developed into one of the leading heavy- weight performers in the Southland. Limerick took a good second in the conference matches, losing mly to the veteran matman. Ostling. Ostling who competed in both heavy and light heavy bouts, was ne of the best wrestlers in jaysee ranks of recent years. It was in the light heavy or 175-pound division that Jed Ostling showed some of his best form, ' ed was a clever matman who performed consistently and well. Carl Shupp. sfellar tackle on the state hampionship football team of 1929, was another capable 175-pound man. Captain Mel Addington was the premier Tartar wrestler in the 1 65-pound or middle-weight class. del was an experienced grappler possessed with a great deal of skill and determination. He showed his lass by grabbing the conference title in his class. Groves, who took a second in this class in the confer- nce matches, was another stylish bone-bender despite previous inexperience. Dakin and McCormick were the class of the welterweight matmen. Both were steady winners in be dual meets. Dakin took a second in the jaysee loop bouts at 155-pounds. Neither of these entrants ad any real previous experience, but came through to show that they were among the best in the outhland. Valenzuela. Burnside, and Hobbs lead the Tartar 145-pound contenders. Sunny Valenzuela, ar footballer, took the gold medal in his class, with Burnside nabbing the silver award. All three men ' ere steady wrestlers. Townsend. who knew nothing of the finer points of the game before the season, rapidly developed ito one of the gamcst and cleverest grapplers on the squad. Meeting veteran wrestlers, Townsend lowed his grit by coming through to meet his opponents half way. Kiyomura and Miyamato, two snappy Nipponese speedsters, did the honors in the 125-pound di- ision. These two men performed with skill and exceptional speed, and showed fine form all season png. taking a number of strong wins. Ikebasu. in the 115-pound set. was one of the classiest fly-weight matmen in the Southwest. In le jaysee circuit meet he defeated the Illinois state champ, a runner-up for the Olympics, only to se to last year ' s California state prep champ. Masa Kitada, a flashy little light-flyweight, went through a very successful season. He had a hard me finding opponents of his weight who were willing to match his skill, speed, and strength. He ranks on of the best in his class. One Hundred Nine 1931 High School Wrestlers B High School Wrestling Team ' EGINNING the season as a bunch of inexperienced men. the Compton high school wrestling squad de- — ' loped rapidly into a well-balanced outfit with plenty of outstanding performers. The team met some of the strongest teams in the region and made an excellent showing throughout their schedule. This squad of lower division matmen was coached by Bill Kimball who also mentored the jaysee- bone-crushers in their titular campaign. Kimball started with no experienced men and quickly built up ai strong squad of clever grapplers by mid-season. His work this season will probably be best felt next year when his charges of 1930 take their places among the champions of Southern California. Even this year three men placed in the high school Coast league big-meet. In the heavyweight class.r Juarez, a 155-pounder, took a fourth place in the conference fray. He spotted bis man fifty pouncis, yet he made an exceptionally good showing. Harryman was the regular contender in this division in most of the dual meets, and was a heavy winner in more ways than one. Doug Hinesley was the outstanding contender for the Tartars in the 175-pound set. As a light heavy-weight. Doug took a strong second place in the big Coast League finals. Hinesley was a dependable and clever grappler. He scored a number of impressive wins in the dual-meets to rank with the leaders in his division. He will be back next year to strengthen the Tartar wrestling team. Hedgecock was an- other fine light ' heavy who came through splendidly. He also placed in the Coast loop matches. Like; Hinesley he was a strong, brainy matman. and will return next season. Jaurez. Cox. and Swan were the leading contenders in the 158-pound division. All were previ- ously inexperienced, but learned rapidly and well, lliey all turned in classy season records. They were all game and became seasoned veterans by the close of the sason. These men too will return next season. Sorenson was the leading Tartar battler in the welterweight class. He displayed exceptionally steady and skillful form all season, taking a goodly number of strong wins. Neale. in the 13S-pound class, was a steady and ranked high as a prep lightweight grappler. In the 125-pound division, the Tartars had a strong entrant in the person of Liggett. He went through a splendid season of classy performances, and ranked high as a prep featherweight grappler. Mallone was Compton ' s chief entrant in the 120-pound bantamweight class. He learned rap- idly and developed quickly into a first-rate man. Bonhart and Hanna were the leaders in the 115-pound flyweight division. They were both in- experienced men who developed speedily into clever wrestlers. Ruby was the chief 105-pound competitor for the Tartars. He showed exceptional developmeni as the season progressed and came to be a leading contender at his weight.

Is a lis bis, l: Ti «i jtm ' ii -dopis Junior College Golf Team OMPTON JUNIOR COLLEGES golf prospects, at the time of this writing early in the season, do not look exceptionally hopeful. The team is composed of a number of capable and rising young airway-excavators who take a great deal of interest in the game and are rapidly developing into serious ontenders in this ancient and honorable Caledonian sport. However, the student body hardly knows ihat such an energetic squad of divot-diggers has been organized. Thus this unrecognized and little Lnown sport is pursued only by the few who have it as a hobby. The student body as a whole does not )roperly support this worthy and growing minor sport. Capably mentored by Mr. Ed Brunton, faculty advisor, the Tartar tee-cup squad enjoyed a mod- rately successful early season in the small junior college conference. Brunton. a San Diegan who grad- ated recently from Redlands University, has been an avid follower of the royal sport for some time. le was capably assisted by Huncey Gildner, the manager of this fast growing collegiate competition. Finding courses and opponents difficult to arrange conveniently, the Tartars were forced by circum- tances to do most of their preliminary practice work among themselves. The Tartars took a set-back at the hands of Long Beach junior college Viking club- wielders in the nost important practice melee of the early part of the season. The Tartars began their Southern California junior college conference schedule with the Los Angeles [ubs. The L. A. J. C. sport, suffering from lack of support more than the Tartars, was forced forfeit the match. Fullerton junior college was also among the blindly disinterested, and Compton ssumed another win by forfeit from the Yellowjackets. At the date this was written there were two lore regular conference engagments to be carried through. These were the matches with Pasadena and ong Beach junior colleges, two of the most interested followers and participants in this great game. The jaysee rules called for five entrants from each college, each man to compete with a man from the nether school. Thus the institution winning the most individual matches also takes the inter-collegiate latch. The regulars on the squad were as follows, according to their play: Junius Bell ------ First Man Herman Schiller - - - - Second Man James Mahcr Third Man George Little ----- Fourth Man Cash Stall ------ Fifth Man Bart Dunn ------ Sixth Man One Hundred Eleven 931 Back Rmv Burton Brenneman Herbold Saitman Griffin Didlake Bishop Tapper Front Row burnside Hanson Gold Handcock Wyatt Junior College and High School Gym Team CLIMAXING A BRILLIANT SEASON by defeating the U. C. L. A. Varsity in Decker Gym on April 24, the Compton gym team in the first year of existence romped home with the Inter-Collegi- ate Gymnastic title of the Pacific Coast. Under the able leadership and coaching of Captain Jimmy Bur- ton, the Tartar squad was considered one of the strongest team s in the Southland and after the victory over the Bruins, their true strength was established. Jimmy, besides being a coach of renown is the world ' s champion rope climber and great credit is due him for the fine and intelligent way in which he handled the team. The manager, Don Tapper, proved to be a manager of no mean ability and always kept the athletes in the limelight. Through his juggling of dates, dual meets were held with strongest teams on the West Coast. Kenny Griffin. Captain-elect of next year was high point man for the Tartars; in practically every meet, and this former Manual Arts star and captain is certainly a worthy leader fori the new term. Dick Bishop, runner-up for the national title on the rings was always a dependable first and Dick is considered one of the most outstanding ringmen in the country. Cameron was always re- liable for some points and usually ran neck and neck with Griffin for the all-round event. He also won first prize on the rings at the Southern California Junior meet. Les Saitman one of the finest rope climb- ers in the Southland was also a consistent man in this event. Opening the gym season on April 6. by visiting Franklin High School in Los Angeles, the local contingent took everything in sight coming out with the long end of a 77 3-4 to 37 1-4 score. Griffin was high point man by annexing five first places, while Cameron. Bishop. Burton and Saitman had many points to their credit. The following week entered but three men in the Southern California junior meet held in the Turnverein Germania Hall and copped fourth place against such sterling teams as U. C. L. A. , Turnverein Germania, and the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Burton, Bishop, and Saitman. sterling Tartar gymnasts, were eneligible to compete in this meet because of previous wins in the nationals. Cameron, wearing the, colors of Maroon and Gray, garnered a first in the rings and a second in the parallel bars to lead the ' Compton squad. Copping seven out of a possible nine first places, the gymnasts defeated the highly touted Manual. Arts High squad on February 27, by the decisive score of 72 1-2 to 26 1-2. This was the third set-back) ever received by the Toilers, who have been state ch ampions for the past six years. Griffin was higt point man with three firsts, while Bishop and Burton nabbed premier places in their respective events. One Hundred Twelve ddr-u-qdi -; c GymnaUs Myers Brenneman Traveling to Pasadena jaysee for a meet on March 13. the locals fairly swamped the Bulldogs by the overwhelming score of 87 1-2 to 19 1-2. Led by Griffin, who annexed four firsts, three seconds, and one third, the Tartars copped seven out of a possible nine first places, and placed at least two men in every event. A clean sweep in the free exercise, the rings, and the long horse also featured the Compton victory. The Los Angeles City Gymnastic meet took place in Hollywood High on March 20, and Compton grabbed third place to the L. A. A. C. and Turnvcrein Germania. Burton, was barred from entering his favorite event because of a previous win. Dick Bishop, however, the iron-man on the rings took first in this event. Cameron copped a third in the same event, while Saitman took third in the rope-climbing. Coach Graves of U. S. C. came to Decker gym on the evening of March 17 with his Trojan gymnasts for a scheduled meet, but on account of the illness of his star performers, the contest was called off. Without these two men. the Tartar score sheet would have showed a total of at least one hundred points. The evening was spent as a general work-out by both squads for the Tartars were aiming at the Uclan engagement the following week. Featuring the Annual Exhibition in Decker gym. the Bruins came to town on April 24 to meet the hitherto undefeated Compton squad. Both teams had unprecedented records for the year, winning all their meets by large scores, and were determined to settle the much-discussed question as to the strong- est collegiate team on the West Coast. Needless to say. Cece HoUingsworth ' s proteges fell before the all- round strength of the locals by the close margin of 47 to 43. to again unfurl the colors of Maroon and Gray for a state title. The meet aroused much interest in the Southland, and in spite of the threatening weather, a crowd of approximately three thousand were on hand to view the many events. The Blue and Gold men literally walked away with the Minor Sports Carnival between the universities of Berkeley, Stanford. Southern California, and California at Los Angeles held during Easter vacation at Berkeley, and were heavy favorites to cop on the 24th. Going into the last event of the evening, the tumbling, the score stood 41 to 40 in Compton ' s favor. Had the Westwood lads taken first in this event and the locals second and third, the result would have been a 46 to 46 tie. However, the home team garnered a first and third to clinch the unofficial Inter-collegiate Gymnastic title of the Pacific Coast. Griffin was again high point man. winning the free exercise and horizontal bar. Dick Bishop nabbed a first in the rings. Gold the tumbling, and Burton the rope climbing to end a most successful season. . One Hundred Thirteen i9i I Back Row NIELSON A.

Losing the first match to ' Los Angeles, the team won against Santa Ana. followed by losses to Fullerton and Long Beach. Two matches remain to be played with Pasadena and Glendale. Four lettermcn who graduate this year are- -Captain Earle Sweet, first singles; Sam Minami. second singles; Al Smith, third singles; and Richard Petterson, fourth singles. The team will be materially weak- ened by the loss of these men, but it is hoped that some new material will enroll next year to bolster the remaining lettermen. Bertisch and Kimbrough. first doubles team, will return next year, and since they make a powerful combination, should have a most successful season. Sekely and Klein, second doubles, will also be eligible for another year of competition. They have shown much improvement and should give any team in the league a hard battle. The squad will lose four splendid singles perfomers by graduation. These men showed excellent form all season long and will be very hard to replace They all had a number of years of experience which made them valuable men. As steady, clever net-men they ranked with the best in the conference, giving their opponents a good score even when badly outclassed. New material next year will have a hard job supplying the vacancies left by these veterans. Fortunately for Compton junior college, both of this year ' s classy doubles outfits will be back for more competitions. After their showing this year great things are hoped for them next year. This was the first year of competition for these four net stars in the powerful Southern California junior college tennis conference of 1931. With still another year of hot jaysee matches ahead, these Tartars have a great future. To Coach Oakeshott. Manager Nielson. and Captain Sweet goes much deserved credit for having played important parts in developing the material at hand.

Mastain McLaughlii Tennis HIGH SCHOOL ALTHOUGH going through a very poor season, the lower division tennis team did succeed in defeating their old rivals from Woodrow Wilson. With Rex Dixon, first singles: Albert Peacock, second singles: Ray Collins third: and Thompson and Meitheimer alternating at fourth, the singles line-up was fairly strong. Glade Mastain and Max Dixon as first doubles were consistent in winning their matches. Kenneth Mastain and Shephards played second doubles with superior team work. Since Glade Mastain is the only member of the team to graduate, next year ' s outlook is very fav- orable. The players gained much experience this year, and with consistent practice should be near the top of the league when the standings are compiled at the end of next season. With almost the entire squad returning. Compton is promised a successful season in 1932. This year the stiff competition of the mighty Coast League was too much for the Tartars who had only a small turnout of material. Again entering the old Bay league, of which Compton was a charter member, the Tartars are getting back to competition that is more their size and pace. Such schools as Woodrow Wilson. Huntington Park and Redondo will be the Tartars ' 1932 opponents. Rivalry which was begun long ago with these schools, will be renewed in full flame. Provided, as they are, with excellent players the Tartars should just about run rough-shod over the Bay league teams. For a long time tennis, a neglected minor sport, has struggled along without attention. Now how- ever, the game has brighter prospects ahead.

Out of a liking for this sport grew an en-j thusiasm unsurpassed. The teams worked steadily; under the instruction of their coaches and managers,- closing the season with a battle for the school, championship. As managers of both upper and lower divis- ion hockey, Eleanor Manley and Annie Larsen have carried their sport through its season with; Upper and Lower Division Squads j j j . combined thirteenth and four-,; teenth year team, which tied for first place with th: eleventh year group included: Madeleme Barkdull luth Brown. Rozella Cobb, Pauline Cooper, Ann Donaldson. Margaret Eastman, Mary Edmondson, Ruth Geery, Gladys Harvey, Gladys Hermann, Delia DeHoag, Roberta Lyons, Eleanor Mauley, Ruth McBride, Gwen Moreland, Dorothy Robertson, Carroll Spear, and Thelma Wigle. The game between the thirteenth and fourteenth year was as exciting as a fooball game. 1 he play- ers on both teams worked hard on the field to prove themselves better than their opponents. The final whistle cut the action short and the teams stood witth an equal score. Another decision game was nol played but the teams were placed together in first place and claimed co-partnership. There has been a great deal of enthusiasm shown on the field this year and the hockey coaches, to- gether with the young hockey enthusiasts look forward to a bigger year in the field.

A. ar to be complimented on the spirit which their enthusiasm has instilled in the women of this institution As captains of one part of our ship, they have produced many teams, each of which might have said, ir the words of Julius Caesar: I came, I saw, I conquered, for they have fought and they have alsc won. Likewise Mrs. Neubauer and Miss Rutherford, advisors of the G. A. A., deserve much credit fo the ardor with which their teams have played and gained so many honors. These two, who together wit! their teams constituted the other half of a boat ' s crew, have often led their groups through hard fight; and real battles, to arrive at a harbor in the Port of Success. Mrs. Neubauer, Miss Rutherford, and Mrs. Edith Eales are experienced captains on our ship. Miss Doris Tennant is rather new to the sea and has been getting the feel of the ship. In point of variety of activities introduced and carried on in the women ' s athletic department, Compton ' s fair sex is ex ceedingly fortunate. For this our coaches are responsible. A varied program of sports, dancing, gym work, and corrective training, is provided, offering each girl her right medium of athletic endeavor. As a testimonial of the enthusiasm with which this work is carried on, one has only to visit the gymna- siu ' m and athletic field at any time of the day. We, the women students of Compton junior college, doff our hats to these our coaches. One Hundred Twenty Two ddr-u-qdr ' ItOtki ntrtisi J led siij; low([ in unit L SilSOJ t and it!

In the past season, however, volleyball has come out. along with some of the Ibther women ' s athletics, on top. Under the sponsorship of Coaches Edith Eales and Florence Jeubauer. the women interested in this sport. leveloped a fine technique, and an invincible kill and accuracy. The upper division group Creager Venter Geery Cooper ijarticipated in numerous games with volleyball steams of the lower division, one of the latter gaining the school championship. I t Under the managership of Gladys Hermann, a combined team consisting of members from both the thirteenth and fourteenth grades, represented the upper division in all games during the season. The ' all-star eleven included Madeline Barkdull. Ruth Brown. Aurelia Cantwcll. Pauline Cooper. Margaret lobertson, and Maybelle Venter. HIGH SCHOOL r ECOND on the list and next to basketball on the athletic program this year, came volleyball. As has I- ' always been the case before, this sport experienced an excellent turnout, especially exhibited by the iiumber of this group in regard to this activity, its coaches were responsible for a great deal of the spirit jimong these women. The coaching for this sport was doubly diff icult this year because of the employ- (nent rules which had been somewhat altered. Some of the regulations for men ' s volleyball were incor- [)orated in the set of rules for the women. Miss Tennant and Miss Rutherford did more than their bit this year toward arousing interest in olleyball. As coaches of the tenth and eleventh year groups, respectively, they could not have had a !nore successful season. After a series of playoffs against the various other teams on the campus, Miss ' lutherford ' s volleyballers gained the school championship, defeating their opponents in a close game. ! iB With Neva Odette at the helm as manager of lower division volleyball, a number of school practices |vere arranged for after school, under the guidance of Mrs. Neubauer. At the all sports playday held at Whittier.

Since the volleyball team was composed of all-round athletes, women who participated in all sports offered, it is no wonder that the high school women proved victors of the interclass volleyball tournament, in which competition was given by all classes of both the upper and lower divisions. One Hundred Twenty Three 93 T ' Eales E ' iSTMAN, Robertson, Cooper Edmondson, Barkdull, Cantwell Basketball JUNIOR COLLEGE HIS YEAR, basketball has held its own in tb parlance of the popular sports. The members of the first and s;cond teams practiced faithfully und.T the direction of Coach Edith C. Eales, and .onsequently. through the help of manager Aurelii Cantwell, these women were able to uphold their parti of the Compton standard in regard to athletics. In a series of games with the high school, the fourteenth year placed second. The first team, composed ol Madeline Barkdull, Aurelia Cantwell, Pauline Coop:r, Margaret Eeastman, Mary Edmondson, and Dorot thy Robertson, have shown its true Tartar spirit and enthusiasm, and helped to make the basketball sea son a great success. A second team with Ruth Brickey, Ruth Brown, and Harriet Coulter, also support ed the fourteenth year group. The thirteenth grade basketball stars were: Ann Donaldson. Ruth Geery Gladys Harvey, Delia De Hoag. Ella Sailer. Eleanor Stevens, and Mary Zweifel. , ' ti Early in the fall, before the athletic conference, the fourteenth year team met the various lowe; division groups in preliminary playoffs for the championship of the school. The final outcome proclaimec the eleventh year team the casaba stars of the campus, while the upper division group assumed the rol of runners-up. HIGH SCHOOL ' , BASKETBALL in the lower division has proved itself worthy of considerable recognition a m o n j) women ' s athletics this year. Josephine Mulcahy has displayed great capability as manager of thi sport and through her enthusiasm, coupled with that of the team, and also the latter ' s finesse in the game the eleventh year group came out on top, gaining the laurels, and thereby declaring themselves all-star ) One of the main events in which the women have taken part was a playday held in Whitticr. at whid f basketball was among the outstanding sports.

The participants were: Peg Cuningham, Gladys Harvey, Ruth Geery and Barbara ireager, as first, second, third, and fourth singles respectively. Carolyn Firkins. Lorraine Dennis. Ann Donaldson, and Mary Edmondson played in first and second doubles. Another event was the interclass tennis competition, held early in April, among representatives from he thirteenth and fourteenth years. The result was a tie. Tennis Tournament HE annual tennis tournament, including members from both divisions, took place in the spring This event began with the round robin idea against each other during the regular gym period, the scores f their matches being carefully recorded by Coach Eales. Then came the big tournament, in which there vere 5 3 entrants, with about an equal representation from both divisions. r After many matches, the scores of which were, , t times extremely close, four women remained in the emi-finals. Margaret Dunbar defeated Frances McKay, and Peg Cunningham then lost to Margaret Dunbar, the singles championship, for which accomplishment she was awarded a silver loving cup. Peg ' unningham was presented with a set of tennis balls. Coach Eales has been faithfully working with both lower and upper division women to train them ii tennis from the ground up. Tennis is being recognized more and more by the individual student as an invigorating and restful astime. Thus has the number of our tennis enthusiast been steadily increasing. The girls are trained in competition and sports- lanship and take an active part in tournaments with ver increasing interest and enthusiasm. Although this ear of tennis has been a great success, the department ; looking forward to an even more successful year in 932. Both winners recieved their awards at the sports anquet held immediately following the close of the •nnis and hockey seasons, at the Pathfinder ' s clubhouse. Managers of tennis have planned to make an an- ual women ' s tennis tournament another one of the tra- itions. which Compton junior college has been estab- shing this year.

Huntington Park invited the lower division group to participate in a baseball playday on May 23, i Huntington Park. The four best teams from this section were chosen to compete. It has been customary at the termination of the season for each sport to hold a banquet, dedicated t: that particular activity. The baseball spread assumed the form of a baseball beach day. which th members of the Girl ' s and Women ' s Athletic Association enjoyed. :iW itos. Swimming Although this sport has not projected itself into the limelight this year, the mermaids of Comp ton included about 75 women from both divisions. These students were exceedingly faithful in attendin ' the swimming class held every Friday at the Long Beach Y. W. C. A. At the playday, held at Los Ar ' geles Jaysee. May 2, Compton entered two women in the dash-free style for the length of the pool; twl for twice the length of the pool: and one for under water swimming. Those participating were: Virgin!; Brockman, Aurelia Cantwell, Mary Edmondson, Carolyn Firkins, Gladys Harvey, and Roberta Lyons, j The swimming classes were new t his year. The class in the Long Beach Y. W. C. A. pool wi held every Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Women ' s Athletic Association and our own Y. ' C. A. The women who attended these classes received complete swimming instruction during the tiirj they attended. The instruction was given by the Long Beach Y. W. C. A. swimming instructor. Oppoi tunity was offered experienced swimmers and unexperienced swimmers alike. Although Compton hi not yet participated in intercollegiate swimming matches, we hope to be able to within a few year Swimming is an up and coming sport in our college although we have to go several miles to take advar tage of it. silJtk Tk k Left Compton Mermaids Right Cantwell Barkdull One Hundred Twenty Six ddr-u-qdr Interpretative Dancing Lvoci Tumbling JNDER the sponsorship of Miss Doris Tcnnant. interest among women for tumbling has steadily in- creased during the past year. Her classes have performed on several occasions before assemblies and at laydays. The main event in which they took part was the program presented at the Girls ' Athletic Feder- ation of Southern California, held at Compton late last fall. Although tumbling is classed as a minor sport, those working in it have been interested and en- husiastic. The performance of the tumbling class at the athletic demonstration was enthusiastically re- ieved by a vast audience. Miss Doris Tcnnant who is responsible for their success hopes for even greater nterest next year. It Loj 1 1 Dancing ., ,1 Another activity which has added to the enterfainment of the institution is dancing. The three principal types, namely, folk, clog, and interpretative, have contributed much to the success of dramatic iresentations. assemblies, and playdays. The natural dancing and the mtcrprctativc dancing have received a great deal of interest from the ' mtside. The dancing class has thoroughly enjoyed this year of work and hopes to produce bigger and letter performances next year. Hiking I Hiking, although only a so-called minor sport, holds an important place in that section. Under he direction of the upper and lower division managers. Elizabeth Williams and Virginia Shaffer respec- ively. several hikes were sponsored. Points toward the earning of numerals, letters, sweaters, and stars, ]re earned through the participation in this sport. Hiking seems to have been an athletic pastime in the women ' s athletic department. Although most f the hiking trips are taken over fifty miles from Compton we are willing to admit we do a great deal f hiking on the campus. It simply isn ' t enough for some of us. Demonstration On May 8, the women of Compton Junior College held an athletic demonstration in the women ' s ym for the entertainment of their parents and friends. Most of the sports were represented in individual kits, the exhibition terminating in a tableau scene, including reference to all sports on the campus. )utstanding among the various divisions of the program, were the natural and clog dances, which were xceedingly well interpreted. Another was the six-minute basketball game, which truly displayed the bility and skill of Compton ' s casaba stars. The event was an appropriate climax for the women ' s thlctic activities of the past year.

Working for harmony between both divisions, the officers and ad- ministrative heads created a governing body to comply with the demands of the proposed 6-4-4 plan. A feature of the assembly program of the fall semester was the presentation af awards and the acceptance of the Southern California championship football program, the winning of which brought honor and fame to the local Jaysee. One of the special problems was the revision of the constitution concerning athletic awards. Under a new clause a limitation has been placed upon the number of letters, which an athlete may be awarded. Gray sweaters and maroon stripes, and maroon sweat- ers with gray stripes were the final decisions made by the council concerning athletic swearers for upper and lower division athletes. The upper division championship football team was the first to receive awards under the new system. Besides receiving sweaters, each member of the squad was presented with a gold football inlaid with pearls. The student body further showed its appreciation of the athletes wonderful showing by honoring Compton jaysee ' s State Championship football team with a banquet, held at the Elk ' s Tenple in Los Angeles. January 23. Prominent among the many social events of the semester were the two dances in honor of the Taft and Menlo football teams. They were informal affairs and greatly enjoyed by the honored guests and the students attending. Assembly programs were of the highest caliber. Noted speakers brought messages that proved beneficial as well as entertaining. Professional and amateur talent appeared before the student body on several occasions. The council spent much time in the establishing of school traditions. A successful campaign to clean up the campus, and keep it clean, was sponsored. The appointing of class presidents to council member- ship was another important ruling made in the fall semester. Selection of the Tartar Ten list was one of the most difficult tasks of the student council of 1930. After much deliberation over eligibility and means of election, the council cut the list to be voted on by the faculty and student body to a select few. Compton was represented at the ninth Semi-annual Presidents ' convention, held December 12-13 at Sacramento by the president and vice-president, George Little and Stanley Sweeney. Problems of the school finance, assemblies, and junior college Gre ek letter organizations were all discussed in the business sessions included in the two day program. The local delegates were enabled to receive many ideas which aided the student council during its administration.

Plans for the organization of the Tartar Knights, which will serve as an auxiliary group of the Tartar Ten, were made this semester, so that there will be no delay in forming the organization at the beginning of next year. Included in the program of traditions was the dis- cussion concerning the holding of Hell Week for the freshmen. Moving its office to the student store building, the second semester council began its term with enthusiasm. A questionaire containing valuable information concerning all the junior colleges of California, was compiled. Both the governmental plan and a list of accomplish- ments were included in the pamphl et, which was sent to all the Jayses of the state. This plan enables each member to keep in contact with others of the California Junior College Association. The office of Commissioner of Men ' s Activities was brought into the lime-light this semester by the work :;ccomplished in conducting and planning men ' s assemblies and intra-mural sports. According to the new ruling made by the fall administration, the Commissioner of Men ' s Activities shall also include the chairmanship of the athletic managerial system. He works in conjunction with the department of physical education in the scheduling of all athletic com- petition with other schools, as well as assisting with the distribution of athletic awards. Jack Rosenblum President Student Body Because of the ruling made by the fall semester council regarding the distribution of awards, several athletes who ordinarily would have been presented with sweaters failed to receive them. The necessity of adopting the new plan was great, however, since the old ruling which allowed one student to receive three or four sweaters, lowered the student finances. Compton ' s second consecutive track championship came into the Tartar camp during the concluding semester of the school year. By winning the all-conference meet, the track team, crowned Southern Cali- fornia dual-meet champions, brought high honors to Samarkand, adding more trophys to the collection of the student body. Plaques were presented to the junior high schools in a formal ceremony by the president Jack Rosenblum. Each plaque bore the insignia, which provides the nickname of each junior high. The for- mer emblem of Compton Union High School, the Lion, was handed down to the Compton Junior High. The spring semester student council is to be congratulated upon its successful administration of student affairs, which were so systematically organized by the first group of officers.

Issues of the weekly included a greater variety of front page stories, a wider record of campus sports, a better representation of college organizations, and a more interesting editorial page. Of special interest to the student body have been the columns of Fred Palardy and Jack Rosenblum, known, as Samar-Kandy. and Jack Scz.

The Champion Tartar Shield IN REVIEWING what has probably been the most successful year ever en- joyed by the journalism department of Compton Junior College, several phases of the past term ' s activities stand out in sharp contrast to other years. With the inauguration of the 6-4-4 plan last fall, a surplus of trained journalists were a- vailable for the first time on the college weekly. Consequently, the securing of a staff position or even assignment as a reporter were awarded on the basis of This resulted in a higher standard of jour- Although working with a small staff, the well-regulated machinery of the organization produces a more than presentable sheet. The taking of three out of five first places in a state newspaper contest this year in which thirty-five California Junior Colleges ' publications competed, was the peak of success of the Tartar Shield. The prizes awarded the Compton journal at the Pasadena convention were the first places in front page make-up, sport page make-up, and news story contest. Leland Phillips engineered the prize winning front page: Don Mack created the best news story, and Isadore Rosen was responsible for producing the best sport page make-up in the state. What success the Tartar Shield has enjoyed during this year is directly responsible to the willing- ness ' to work attitude of the staff members; to the cooperative spirit of Miss Marian Peterson, journal- ism advisor, and to the technical advisory opinion of Edwin Comstock, printing instructor. Written and dummied by the staff and printed by the junior college printing classes in the junior college plant, the Tartar Shield has appeared regularly every Friday of the school year. The journal, an eight-column four-page weekly, has enjoyed a free circulation of two thousand copies at each publication during the past year. Two special editions, a Christmas number, and the Tartar Squeel , a razz edi- tion, were additional issues.

Smith, a well rehearsed cast, composed of junior college students only, presented the college hit, The Poor Nut , on the evening of February 13. Built around its chief character, John Miller, the plot of this play presented a varied assortment of types found around college halls. The campus vamp, cut-up, grind, prominent athlete, and good fellow were all included besides the groups of fraternity and sorority members. Joe Snell portraying the most successful part of his junior college dramatic career, brought forth gales of laughter by his characterization of John Miller, the Poor Nut in Elliot Nugent ' s three act comedy. As a college student, whose life was made unhappy by a highly developed inferiority complex, Snell ' s performance was equal to that of a far more experienced actor. Never once during his almost con- stant appearance on the stage did he depart from the character of the meek Poor Nut , who wrote love letters to a college co-ed. telling her of his track victories. Charm was lent to the comedy in the person of Marjorie Blake, portrayed by Patricia Coates. She played her part whole-heartedly and convincingly. Marie Nettz, as the beautiful blonde, Julia Winters, and Rex Volheim as the captain of the Wisconsin track team, made life miserable for the Poor Nut and Miss Blake throughout the play. Bill Heath, Fred Banks, and Carl Blume were entirely fitted for their parts, as were Lea Anderson. Marie Smith, and Lu Verne Peterson. The naturalness of the lines, combined with the cleverness of the plot made this play one of the most popular ones of our junior college record of successes in the past three years.

Pigs. by Ann Morrison and Patterson McNutt. the twelfth i year class introduced upon the stage a clever cast before a record attendance, in the auditorium. April 17, 1931. Pigs, selected because of its adaptability to youth, is a new and successful comedy, having just been released for amateur production. The story is both charming and humorous, being concerned with an eighteeen year old boy and girl, who, being desperate for money which to get married, buy two hun- red and fifty choleric pigs to cure and sell at a large profit. Florence Carpenter and Harvey Hanson portrayed their leads with an assurance, which won well deserved praise. Miss Carpenter played her leading role with such unusual ability, that the audience quite forgot she was creating a character part. With a role fitting her natural stage personality, plus her natural stage presence, hers was one of the best characterizations ever presented in a senior class play. Dorothy Beatty, the mother, did remarkably well in her role. Her acting was especially fine during the scene in which she presented her own engagement ring to her son. Russel White was successful in the difficult role of the father; while Beulah Parker, his mother, was extremely amusing as granny . Both Fred White and EUena Wolfskill as the intriguing lovers added to the intricacy of the plot, which was unravelled through the assistance of Harry Heacock, a scheming business man, and Chester Grain, the country veterinarian.

A comedy, a serious play, and a farce, composed the trio of pro- ductions which opened the junior college dramatic season. December 1 1. Thursday Evening. a comedy, presented the humorous situations in which a young couple was Dlaced. when their mother paid them a visit on the maid ' s night out. A Wedding is a farce, which produced many laughs over the excitement created through the loss of the bridegroom ' s collar button. In sharp contrast to the others. The Finger of God was intensely dramatic. It is an interesting olay in which a big business man turns crook until h: meets the girl. Directed by Mrs. Avalon Metcalf. the group of plays presented by the eleventh year class, was a finished performance.

With the ' merging of the Junior College and High School, the council was presented with a knotty problem as to the status of fraternities in the new Junior College organization; however it was decided to leave fraternities and sororities in their former positions. Membership was limited only to the two upper years of the institution. The inter-fraternity council was established in the fall of 1928. At the suggestion of Mrs. Tibby, then dean of social activities, each fraternity and sorority sent two representatives to a joint meeting at which plans for the council organization were form?d. The purpose of the council was to set a legislative body, ruling and arbitrating on problems that arise among fraternities. The presidency is a non-elective office, passing automatically from each soror- ity and fraternity in the order of their establishment on the campus. THE ' til if tilt ( Uacb Sii One Hundred Seventy -Eight ddr-u-qdi Back Row rosenblum Price Cowan Little Stevens Palardy Inlerfraternity Council Spring Semester OFFICERS Aileen Oliver ---------... President Chase Stevens Secretary npHE SPRING SEMESTER ' S activities of the intcrfraternity council were climaxed by the final adop- tion of the constitution. Work on this consttution has been in progress, since the very beginning of the council. In order to make the constitution inclusive of any possible situation which might arise in the future, considerable research was involved. Under the jurisdiction of the intcrfraternity group are included all rules of rushing . At the begin- ning of each quarter, a certain period is to be voted upon to be devoted to rushing . At the termination of each rush season, all bids and acceptances must be cared for. Also, it is the duty of the council to prevent initiation of any pledges, who have failed to attain an average of a C grade in their classes. Since there was such splendid cooperation am.ong the local Greek letter societies, the council has not found it necessary to take definite action against any of the groups. Because of lack of time an interfraternity drnre. which the council hoped to establish as a tradition, could not be held this season.

Compton again proved victorious when Marian Bills and J ames Petterson placed first in the annual Shakespearean contest held in the Touchstone theater at the University of Southern California. April. 25. Competing in the largest division, which consisted of high schools having an enrollment of less than 1500. the local representatives were judged winners in both the girls ' and boys ' sections. Since neither a second nor a third place was offered this year, the Compton students were the single winners in their respective groups. Marion Bills ' selection was taken from a Midsummer Night ' s Dream ; while James Petterson read from Two Gentlemen of Verona . Morocco bound volumes of Shakespeare were awarded as prizes. At the Anne Hathaway luncheon served in the Student Union Building. R. Douglas McClean, noted Shakespearean actor, gave selections from The Merchant of Venice. and As You Like It . Dr. Rufus B. Von Klein Smid. president of the University of Southern California, also spoke to the contest- ants. During the afternoon the winners presented their selections at a program in Bovard Auditorium. They later appeared before students of Garfield high school in Belvedere Gardens in a program with Mr. McLean, at Huntington Park, and Hoover high school in Glendale. Mrs. Avalon Daggett Metcalf, coach of the local representatives, accompanied them to the various schools. In the junior college division under the direction of Miss Leona Victoria Smith, a selection from Taming of the Shrew by Marie Smith won second place: while Joe Snell. won third place with his reading from Hamlet . Public Speaking Recital nrHE ANNUAL PUBLIC SPEAKING RECITAL was held on the afternoon of May 6. with members i of the verse speaking choir appearing in a program, presented in the auditorium. Under the direction of Miss Leona Victoria Smith, the students have been coached throughout the year in the art of public speaking. It has become a tradition that at the close of each term, outstanding members of the speech depart- ment entertain at a special assembly. Those participating were: Bart Hodak. John Woodward. Kenneth Payne. James Petterson. Ruby Johnson, Agnes Butrum, Mary Louise Freer. Anita Flippin. Marjorie Logan. Thyrill Savage. Albert Buss, David Gaddis. and Stuart Betsinger. Women Assembly Speakers DR. BARBARA BURK, famous California Geneticist and Director of Research at Stanford University, gave an interesting forty-five minute lecture, January 6, in the audit- orium. Her talk dealt chiefly with the problems of heredity and environment. Bringing in her message to the students of Compton Jun- ior College the characteristics of ideal American manhood and womenhood. Mrs. Rene Basil Clark, one of America ' s fore- most women orators, spoke at a special assembly held Tues- day, May 5. She told her experience in receiving the thanks Hy ,JfJ % of Belguim when the Santa Claus ship of toys arrived from America. Verse Speaking Choir Two Hundred Two ddi ' -u-qdr Women ' s Quartette APPEARING in seventeen programs this season, the Women ' s Quartette has been of great service in contributing to the enter- tainment of both Compton junior college and many service clubs. Two outstanding programs were those held before the Teachers ' Insitute. held at Pasadena during the fail, and the annual Southern California Shakespearean Festival, recently held at the University of Southern California. Thorgrimson Spurgeon McNeil Rake Other programs were those presented before: the Pathfinders ' Club, Kiwanis Club of Watts. Ki- wanis Club of Compton. Y. W. C.

Surprises. was pre- sented in the junior college auditorium, during the fall. The revue was entirely a student production. Originated and directed by Don Tapper, of the upper division, and supported by a cast of local school talent, the performance was highly successful. Between acts, Fred Banks ' orchestra entertained with popular numbers. Carl Blume. assisted by a dancing chorus of ten girls began the entertainment with a song and dance number. Steppin ' Along , followed by Tenor solos. If I Could be With You . sung by Charles Dorshkind. A comedy act was presented by I Pearl Ginsberg and Jack Rosenblum, who sang a group of four selections. Harry Roth and Harry Geller in a variety act. proved a program in themselves. Larry Kent ' s eccentric dance, and Walt and Muriel ' s exhibition waltz, combined with the assistance of the dancing chorus, gave a wide variety of new steps. Members of the chorus were: Irene Browning. 1 Oleta Quinney. lola Mahnken. Viola Mahnken. Betty White. Edna Bynum. Lila Nestor. Gladys Wood- ;ard. and Mary Carr. The final surprise of the revue was the appearance of Arthur Lake in several dance performances. Radio Program Members of Revue CECIL AND SALLY, as played by Joe Snell and Lea Anderson, featured the Thanksgiving assembly program, given Novem- ber 26. Harry Roth and Harry Geller were the other two enter- tainers. Both skits were cleverly presented. Behind the big curtams. Cecil and Sally broadcasted over the public address system in a manner similar to that of the originators of the act. famous over station K. F, W. B. To many it seemed as though the creators of this skit were themselves on the stage hidden from view, the famil- iar Sally gurgle being so realistically interpreted by Lea Anderson. Harry Roth and Harry Geller, called ' Roth and Geller for short, gave their familiar novelty numbers, including the ever pop- ular Mississippi Mud. This pair has appeared on the Orpheum Circuit. Two Hundred Three 931 containing real human interest. Delta Psi Omega THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS DELTA PSI OMEGA, honorary drama fraternity, gave three one-act plays, before a special assembly in the auditorium. May 1 2. The first play presented was a popular racketeer story written in Hollywood. The Ace is Trumped . The part of the Ace , who considered himself one of the cleverest gunmen and alky-kings, was played by Jack Rosenblum. Eddie, pal of the Ace, who tries to save the life of his friend, but fails, is played by Joe Snell. Marie Smith perfected the part of the waitress who outwitted the Ace and forced him to walk into a volley of machine gun shots. Her part in fooling him into thinking he had eaten poison food, was cleverly played. The Constant Lover was presented as the second play. Walter Reynolds enacted the part of the young man, who was constantly falling in love with numerous girls. However, his policy of Love ' em and leave ' em did not go over so big with his lady friend enacted by Lu Verne Peterson. She was the girl, who thought for a moment that she was in love with this dreamer, but discovered that her idea of love did not coincide with his. The final play of the program. The Undercurrent. was the fea- ture of the entire performance. Having been put on at Northwestern University and billed with the Orpheum Circuit for one year, this fam- ous play which placed first in a Chicago contest a few years ago. has a high recommendation. Portraying the family life of a German jan- itor of a Chicago building, the cast was able to give the students a play Joe Snell. one of Compton ' s most experienced actors, took the part of the Chicago janitor, who be- lieved that children should be brought up under an iron hand. Mr. Snell was very successful in this role, which was exceedingly difficult. Ma Fisher, who sought to protect her son and daughter from their strict father ' s wrath was played by Patricia Coates. Miss Coates. although a newcomer at Compton. this, year, has already won much recognition for her stage ability. The part of Miss Page, the charity worker who aided Mrs. Fisher in helping Annie, the daughter, was taken by Marie Smith. Lucy Belle Eraser as Annie was exceptionally good in her role of the way- ward girl. Lu Verne Peterson was the snoopy neighbor who tried to get Annie in trouble by interfering with the business of the Fisher household. Bill Heath as the son. completed the cast for Undercurrent. All students taking part in the plays are members of Delta Psi Omega, having had much previous experience in dramatics. Members of the fraternity plan to give a similar performance annually, making it one of the traditions of both the fraternity and Compton junior college. The directing of the three casts was in the charge of Miss Leona Victoria Smith, who is both spon- sor of Delta Psi Omega and instructor of drama in the upper division. Two Hundred Four ddr-u-qdi School Daze P RESENTING for the first time at Compton a take-off on the activities of jaysee life, a forty-five min ' utc musical comedy, School Daze , was given before an enthusiastic audience in the auditorium on May 20. The clever lines brought an immediate response from the students assembled. Few things were overlooked by the authors in searching for material to burlesque, the library and the class-room daily bulletin receiving particularly vicious thrusts. The program, which was entirely original, was an all-student production. Jack Rosenblum wrote the lyrics, while Harry Roth composed the music. Members of both upper and lower division took part in the show.

Vaughn Soil and Marian Bills, students in the advanced Drama Class, were allowed to select their own plays, cast them and direct them, working under the supervision of Mrs. Avalon Metcalf. Hot Waffles was the play selected by Marian Bills. She also took a part in the cast. Hot Waffles was presented at a Girl ' s League assembly, and was well received. It ' ll be All Right on the Night. was selected and directed by Vaughn Soil, and was enthusias- tically received by the students upon its presentation. The cast, made up entirely of boys, comically interpreted each humorous scene. So successful was the local presentation that a request was granted for its repetition before the Pathfinders ' Club of Compton. Tivo Hundred Five 1931 Men ' s Gym Team COACH EARL PINE presented the second annual athletic exhibition in Decker gym on Friday, April 24. For this event, the gymnastic meet between Compton Junior College and the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles was selected as the headline fea- ture. The Tartar gymnasts entered the fray as under dogs. The highly touted Bruin squad expected to encounter little trouble in trimming the jaysee team. However, the Maroon and Gray had other plans as to the outcome of the meet. When the smoke cleared, the Tartars were on the long end of a 47 to 43 score. As a result of the victory over the U. C. L. A. team, the Comptonites were given the mythical inter- collegiate gymnastic title of the Pacific Coast. The losers had beaten the teams representing Stanford, California, and U. S. C. by overwhelming scores. Coach Burton is to be congratulated on turning out a championship team in the squad ' s first year of ex- istence. The introduction of this minor sport at Comp- ton this year is due to the efforts of Mr. Robert Gill- ingham. Registrar, and to Jimmy Burton, who read- ily agreed to coach the team. The meet drew a crowd estimated at between 2500 and 300 people. Although the exhibit was primarily for parents of the Compton Union High School District, it attracted much attention. When it became known that the winner was to be consid- ered the strongest dual meet squad on the West Coast, the eyes of the gymnastic world of the Southland were turned upon it. Many leading gymnastic coaches were in attendance that night, among them Graves, of U. S. C, Cece Hollingsworth of U. C. L. A., and Price of the L. A. A. C. Using the loud speaking equipment to advantage, the large crowd was kept in touch with the name and event of each contestant, and as to how the score was mounting. The gym was decorated for the affair in the Tartar colors of Maroon and Gray for the visiting par- ents of the district, and in Blue and Gold for the Bruin supporters. Don Tapper, in collaboration with Coach Pine, was responsible for the snappy way in which the events were run off, and for the smooth manner in which the whole exhibit was presented. Women ' s Athletic Demonstration nrWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY girls participated in the athletic exhibition held in the men ' s gym ' the evening of May 8. The annual May fete was replaced by this demonstration. The program of the evening was divided into several parts. The first part put on a number of natural gymnastics, including a teamster ' s warming, lunge, wood-chopping, jump rope, steam boat, trunk bend, swimming and prone fall. The section division of the program included the various phases of dancing, the upper division dem- onstrating the clog and character dances, and the lower division presenting the interpretive art. demonstrat- ing child rythms, and folk dancing. An exhibition of corrective gymnastics was next given, with methods of overcoming round shoulders foot troubles, and round and hollow backs. Sport work was represented by relays, a basketball exhibition, and tumbling stunts. Athletic poses served as a finale for the affair. This exhibition, the first of its kind here, proved highly successful. It is hoped that the Women ' s gym department will sec fit to repeat the program annually, for it served as an inspiration to many who witnessed the event. 1 i Two Hundred Six OTHE ion stai Tb(S( :i.

SUGGETT ddi -u-qdi Athletic Directors of Tartar Teams Coaching Staff T O THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS many thanks arc due. for through their efforts our teams have won state wide fame. Under the guidance of Coach Earle Pine, the junior college varsity tied for the state junior college title, having previously won the Southern California championship. Frank Anthony assisted Coach Pine with the line. The Southern California track title was brought to our halls by the team coached by Mr. Herschcl Smith. This is the second year of its stay in Tartar hands, having been won last year by a Smith coached team. Besides the jaysee track, Mr. Smith also handles the high school vasity football squad. A middleweight high school title was wrested from the Coast league by Mr. Harold Lovejoy ' s pro- teges. Coach Lovejoy also handles the high school varsity track team. Mr. Paul Mickey coaches the junior college basketball, and high school baseball teams. Both the teams have had successful seasons. Coach Powars looks after the ills and accidents of all the athletes. He is the trainer for all the teams. Besides officiating as trainer, he directs both the varsity and middleweight basketball teams. Jimmy Burton, a fourteenth year student, took over the duties of coaching the gym teams, and met with phenomonal success. He holds the world ' s record in rope climbing, and is therefore well-qualified to hold his position. Jimmy ' s picture appears else where as sub-division head for minor sports. Clark Christopher, another student coach, took over the boxing duties this year. Two years ago Clark Christopher was Pacific Coast amateur welterweight boxing champion. Having successfully coached the jaysee team last year, he was asked to do so again. A word should be said about the splendid athletic field. Ramsaur field has few equals among ath- etic fields possessed by rival institutions. The modern drainage system makes it possible to hold games, r to practice comfortably immediately after a rainstorm. The field is equipped with radio and a ' mpli- iers for use during athletic contests, making it possible for all to listen to the game play by play. Two Hundred Seven 193 Print Shop ONE OF THE BEST equipped print shops in the state, is the boast that can be made, honestly, of the printing plant of the Compton Junior College. Under the instruc- tion of Edwin Comstock. printing instructor, students are taught to handle the various types of equipment, which includes at present: the big power four roller Miehle press, a ver- tical Michle press, two platen presses, three composing machines — an Intertype and two Linotypes, a metal saw, electric stitcher, elec- tric 34 1-2 inch paper cutter, punching mach- ine and a stereotype casting box. Of these, the last three were added this year, making the plant capable of handling any printing job. Production has reached a high peak this year. The weekly Tartar Shield, and bi monthly Junior High News, were published throughout the year, together with numerous programs and other printing needs for games, plays, dances, announcements and invitations of all kinds. The junior college catalogue and the high school hand book were issued during the spring term. As a climax to the year ' s work, the junior high annual and the Dar-U-Gar were set up and run off. The girls of the print shop classes gath- ered and folded both of the publications, thus saving time and expense at the bindery. Student Store nr HE STUDENT STORE has been more popular than ever this year. With Mr. Edwin Brunton in charge, the student assistants have diligently performed their duties of handing across the counter drinks and supplies. George Von Breyman. as student manager of the store, is deserving of a great deal of credit for the efficient way in which he has handled his duties. He has assumed his responsibilities and dispatched them with an ease and good nature that has created much admiration. Maintenance Department THEY may be janitors, gardeners, maintenance men, but to those who know, they are the unsung heroes of our campus. For. it would be difficult to find a more obliging and willing crew, always cheerfully meeting the requests of a demanding student body. Under the direction of Mr. A. P. Mattier, these men look after the appearance of the school, and its transportation needs. C. GiLLEY. Head janitor F. Sloman, Head gardener H. Ch. ffee, Bus garage J. HOLMAN. Night watchman Top Row W.

The Campus Life Editor L 193 ff History of the Year ;1 .,, |1| THE OPENING EVENT of the current year was the student body election. A split in the Republican party which divided the votes between Warren Webster, creature of the public utilities interests, and Robert Jordan, Progressive, allowed Tammany Hall to sneak its candidate, George Little, into the presi- dency. Rosenblum, Prohibition candidate, came a bad last. Joe Snell. Boss of the Ring, chortled with gL e at the outcome of the election. This administration was marked by much graft. Little was seen driving a Whippet to school. He swore it was his father ' s but most of the school began to ask the question. What happened to the money I paid for Assembly tickets. ' ' Little blushed when asked this question and asked to see his lawyer. Athletic superiority was characteristic of the first semester. With Sammy Zackheim leading yells, the football team went through an undefeated season. Fullerton and Long Beach yelled that we were subsidizing athletes but they gave us the championship cup anyway. We had to pawn the cup to pay the team but it was worth it. Yancey, Clark. Wingard and Schleibaum received the $20 bonus for making All-Conference teams, while Canfield, McKee and Prosser received $10 each for making second All-Conference teams. Other bonus winners were: Krueger, $17.75 (for scoring eight touchdowns at two smacks each in the Conference games. The $1.75 was a donation for interference work.) Slagle, $6.50 (Voted by team as most valuable man in Menlo game. Won $1.50 in bus on way back from Riverside. Myers. $ .60 (ran sixty yards to touchdown against Fullerton. One cent a yard. ) Shupp. $1.28 (For being such a good Joe in general.) Ostling, Season passes for his father, mother, and little brother. The lower division team won little in the way of bonuses. However, several of them were recom- mended for an increase in salary. The school went broke and could not pay Primo Carpenter the captain ' s extra five bucks. The outstanding thing of the lower division was Leo Lawrence demanding a raise in mid-season. When he got it the rest of the team went on strike. However, this got them nowhere. The team licked Glendalc but were otherwise unsuccessful. _ Other features of the first semester were Cash Stall ' s failure to abscond with the footbal profits. This is the first time the Com- missioner of Finance failed to get at least a new Ford out of his work. Porky Smith stayed eligible the whole season. Jed rediscover- ed Effie, and viceversa. George Little and his brother-in-law both made the Tartar Ten. Betty Stockwell also looks good in her leather jacket. The second semester started off with a bang. With a lot of bangs, in fact, mostly shots at teachers who flunked people in the first semester. The loudest bang of all was the starting in the Poor Nutt. Nuff said. You saw it. The Republican party got back at the Dems in the second semester election. Ro- senblum and Webster grabbed the chair and the vice. A few Mugwumps. I mean Mirm- irateneans. slid into several offices, win- ning their election on sheer votes. This is the first time there ever has been a Republican regime at Compton. The Little-Snell-Cowan Tammany Ring has controlled graft, prohibition enforcement and offices for the first seven semesters of C. J. C. ' s existence. Election was marked by the famous ' | SIGN SCANDAL, which the newspapers |. were full of for weeks. It is alleged that U Pigeons. Mugwump leader, tore down signs i Two Hundred Ten ddr-u-qdi of his leading opponents. He was also accused of spend- ing too much money in his campaign fund. Webster was also accused of buying votes. On the day of his election, it is said that the Kappa Epsilon. his henchmen, went over to Enterprise junior high and offered an ice cream cone to any Enterprise student who would come over and vote for Webster. This was very successful and he owes his election to the fact that White ' s did not run out of ice cream. Compton also maintained its athletic supL ' riority by winning the wrestling championship of the confer- ence. Jed Ostling again took the heavyweight title by using that hold he learned in a Ford coupe in the moon- light night of February 12. Pasadena protested that Bill Dakin was a professional wrestler because he was going steady. However, M. E. come through for dear old Compton and gave Bill his ring back on the spot. That shows the kind of school spirit our girls have. March 1 3 was a great day in Tartar history. It was one that will go down in the history of Comp- ton. perhaps never to be repeated. The Tartar Shield came out on time. When Coach Comstock heard the news he fainted and had to be revived with a fire hose. Heel-and Phillips, the editor, said on this mo- mentous occasion. I owe all my success to the dili- gence of my staff. We will resolve to do worse in the future. f) There were other famous events of the new semester. Jack Rosenblum moved to Compton. On March 24, Elmer Prosser was seen not walking with a girl, and last reports said the track team seemed well headed for a title. The annual beauty contest resulted in the Masked Marvel winning the prize. Miss Wanita Landsberg. Miss Atlantic Heights last year attempted to defend her laurels, but was defeated by the unknown beauty. Dar-U-Gar offers ten dollars to anyone knowing the prize winner, with an extra five if a date can be arranged for ye Campus Life Ed. The Honig-Rosenblum-Webster regime started a Greek letter clu because the purpose of the organi- zation was Greek to everybody. Leonard Mallus was pledged to the new elite group on January 29. The requirements for him being initiated were an A average (like Rosenbluim and Honig). learning to do the Balboa and having six dates with six Compton girls with six different complexions. May 18 was the date set for his initiation. When the date came around. Mallus was so exhausted from his pledge- ship that he was un able to attend his initiation. This is the White Elephant song. Come on and fight. fight, fight for apartment two Lead our team to victory Hit ' em hard: we ' ll make ' em black and blue Our spirit will never die Come on out and shake those legs For we ' re the RazmahTogies We ' ll beat those woozy yeggs. And they shall never pass us by. Tish! Rah - rah - rah . The first semester found the Tartar Shield staff winnmg the state title under the leadership of Dap- per Don Mack. California, which is too highbrow to subsidize their athletes, heard of the success of our editor and immediately proceeded to lure him away from our halls of learning. Don grabbed while the grabbing was good and the result is he is now a hot shot at Berkeley. Don had a great liking for fraternities and sororities even if he wasn ' t in one. He had an especial liking for Greek names and always regretted that h: wasn ' t born in Athens. Plip-flop Phillips was the editor in the second half and his record was coming to class twice in this semester and writing 150 words. The Tartar Shield, after three consecutive state championships struck a snag in the person of Los Angeles J. C. and Phillips flopped miserably. Sweetheart Little was the menagerie editor. This is another reason for the slump in quality. The staff did pull off a real brawl, at that. Ttvo Hundred Eleven 93 t Two Hundred Twelve ddr-u-qdr Football ' THE TARTARS had one ' ' ' their greatest seasons this] year. They defeated such teams | as L. A. J. C Pasadena, Fuller- ton and Riverside and tied San- ta Ana and Menlo. , After win- ning the state championship, the batthng Tartars were challeng- ed for the championship of the Southland by U. S.

Tartars, 0. Muckee caught the kickoff and ran it back to a touchdown, but the play was called back for violation of City Ord- nance No. 1234 Section V. The doughty cap- tain was so mad he was ejected from the game for calling the referee a meanie . He was re- placed by Ralph Snitch. The half ended at this point. Lippy Lila Nes- tor, midget Terror quar- ter, entered the game at this point. She walked up to Bug- house Chalk after the first play and said, Are you the great Chalk, all-conference guard? Chalk was outraged and said. You got me wrong, baby. I ' m not only all-conference guard, I am also all-state. Nestor said, Well, I counted you, big boy, and you only counted one to me. so I ' m going to make a touchdown over you. Two Hundred Thirteen 931 Nestor began battering the heavy Tartar line. Her first lunge laid Biglard cold on the field. The Terror team went into a hud- dle and began crying. The Terror stands began yelling, We want Biglard. he ' s the only one we can gain thru. Biglard was removed from the game. He was replaced by Chambermaid. Bucky O ' Donnell. Terror halfback, tried an end run but was tackled hard by Sweet Will Wimble. Where did you learn that grip, fella? she asked him. Will modestly admitted he was a rassler. All the girls immediately began to fight as to who was to carry the ball around Will ' s end on the next play. Benny Clarice Friedman came into the game at this point. Lila continued her assault on poor Chalk. He became so groggy he could hardly stand up. Fed Gosling, the ladies ' man. replaced Chalk who could dish it out but couldn ' t take it. Compton stands began chanting their ballad l ime Out For C. J. C, the Fullback wants his sal- ary. Dangerous Disastrous Dell enters the game and proceeds to score on a Statue of Liberty play. Slo5,her told Flo. the best center of the Carpenter family, the story about the Staute of Liberty while Dell ran thru her for a touchdown. Snitch, who could kick about anything, converted for the extra point. Score: Terrors. 13; Tartars. 7. McKay, Terror guard is removed from the game in crying convulsions. A flock of Terror subs come into the game, including Landsberg and Ruthless Rogers. Friedman takes the kickoff and makes a beautiful runback. Margaret Dunbar, the Long Beach Limited, is kicked off the field for back-seat driving. Time out for a little G. N. L H. (See bottom for explanation.) Soon the Tartars began a great drive down the field. The game is almo:t over. The stands are in an uproar. Dell goes for eleven yards. Shavetail is injured. He is removed from the game with a hangnail. Re- placed by Marshall Shawfield. The Tartars keep up their attack. The game is nearly won. Finally Snitch puts the ball on the one-yard line. Consistent Hoggy Schmidt is called to carry the ball over. Ruthless Rogers, with only two eyes to give for her country, rolls them. Hoggy forge:s everything but them there eyes. Marie grabs the ball for the Terrors and streaks to the final score. Bluster Webster, speedy guard, almost catches her, but gets a run in his stocking and has to go to the showers. The game ends. The score: Terrors, 19; Tartars, 7. After the game the Martyrettes came onto the field in Austins. They surprised everyone with their clever toe and ballet dancing. A sudden twist and they are in the famous Terror Serpentine. A rush, and they had unearthed the south goalpost. Waving this over their heads, the frenzied rooters next attacked the north goal post. This, too, they up- rooted and carried. Then they attacked the grandstand. The astounded Tartar rooters were no match for these fighters. In their usual fashion they battered down all opposition. A quick thought saved Tartardom from annhil- ation. Sunny Valenzuela, called Sunny because he was so bright, phoned the Last Natural Bank and a flock of armored cars saved the Compton team and rooting section from the frenzied Martyrettes. G. N. I.

It had everything: five men on the team, a regulation basketball, a regulation coach, and even a regulation court to play on. But the boys on the team were so tender-hearted that they couldn ' t even shoot baskets. Nor fowls. It is rumored that Coach N4ickey lost his book on How to Play Basketball and used his Hygiene text instead. He is reported to have applied his famous Rules of the Game and told his players to get plenty of sleep. They followed his instructions and got plenty of sleep on the basketball court. Coach Mickey stated that he thought the trouble with his team was that they couldn ' t sink baskets. Clever man. One thing that can be said, however, is that the boys were in th.-re trying all the time. But what they were trying, nobody knows. You guess. Their motto seemed to be Thou shalt not pass . If one of em was fortunate enough to get the ball, he holds on to it so long, that even if he wants to get rid of it. he can ' t, because it adheres to his hands. I must say that these boys have got Stick-ToTtiveness. The boys can ' t wait until they get their hands on the ball, and when they do, they ' re so happy over the fact that they have got it, that they hate to give it up. Parcheesi pARCHEESI is rapidly overtaking Backgammon as a national sport. The word Parcheesi is derived 1 from two sources: par being taken from golf (African) and cheese from the grocery store. Jordan high school won the national championship last year but most of their players had been four- star lettermen in grammar school. The game is principally one of numbers, seven a nd eleven. Compton jaysee entered the junior high school league and defeated every school but Enterprise. But then Roth and Rosenblum wrote a musical comedy. School Daze and Enterprise was beaten on the stage. Lorraine Turner starred for the locals and dev Joped a technique in rolling the dice known as the Turner Twist . She was mentioned as a probable candidate for the All- American team. However, she was restricted from this All- American honor because she was a foreigner by birth, having been born in Compton. Loaded dice were given to Coach Art Honig ii appreciation of his services as coach of the parcheesi players. He modestly blinked and stated that it wa no work at all. Aw, it just comes natural. I guess, le blurtingly said. Two little dimples smiling peeked out of the corner of his chin. Tiddlywinks TIDDLE ' WINKS had its greatest year in Compton ' s history this year. Fullerton and Pasadena were so incensed over the beatings w gave them that they protested to the conference officials that we were subsidizing athletes. Howard Clark was the star of the team, having scored six chuckers and a field goal in six games. The night before the L. A. struggle, he was duped away from the campus and not allowed to return for the game. Only inexperienced Winko Carpenter was available for the game. Wes Godfrey opened the game with a beautiful wink at Lucille, but the um- pire ruled Compton offside. However, with cheer leader Darwin Dixon leading a frenzied Tartar rooting section and Aileen Oliver protecting the cup as if it were a nickel, Compton ' s goal was never in danger. Brownie Chambers made Compton ' s first touchdown, catching a pass from Glade the Grade and pushing it in with his nose. Birdie Hall thought it was a game of Spin the Bottle and ilso made a hit by turning out the lights. A large crowd witnessed the cham- pionship meet. Two Hinidred Fifteen 9i Keep Baseball for the Base CHALL WE ABOLISH minor sports like Baseball? Shall we keep passing out sweaters to people - ' who wave a husky stick at a harmless little ball three times, then go over to a bench and rest from their exertion? The answer is, ---well, yes and no. Yes to the fi-st qutstion and no to the second. At least those are the answers any normal person in their right senses would give. However, professor Sub Normal endeav- ored to refute our conclusions with these statements. Ladies and--ahem--gentlmen. in answer to tb: above statements, they are all right in their way but they don ' t weigh enough. Haha. I got a fast one from a boy in my philosophy class. He got it from the Tartar Shield. I think the Shield got it (Here we took time to steer the professor back on the track). Well , he said. In every institution of any size there are a certain number of imbeciles, morons and idiots. As you know, some baseball games draw as many as eleven spectators. This shows there are at least twenty imbeciles, morons and idiots in th: school. I arrived at that conclusion by adding the number of spectators to the number of players. Eleven and nine make twenty. Simple, isn ' t it. ' Now, all men in this land are created equal. You were created equal to Henry Ford ' s son, or Jackie Coogan or anybody. You have as many rights as they have. (I maintain that even Jack Dempsey has only one right.) Well, these morons get a kick out of watching a silly old ball slide between somebody ' s feet, or seeing a harmless umpire get eradicated. We mast consider these people ' s rights and let them kill a few umpires once in a while. Point number one of my case is proved. The professor stopped to clear his throats. He continued, Now, zoologists tell us if it wjre nut for carnivorous animals, the rodents would soon overrun the whole earth. And in the same way, if it were not for the baseball fans, the umpires would overrun the whole earth. Consider my second point proved. We listened spellbound. Lastly. he said, insane asylums cost mone . Think what a burden it would be for the state if it had to maintain asylums for all the baseball fans and baseball players. Why, let me see, take Compton as an average. There are twenty addicts here. There a e about a thousand schools in California. Thus we would have to build asylums for twenty thousand p:ople. The state would go broke. It is even better to have such dangerous specimens at large, as long as you do not cross them. Besieds, think, we would have to build many schools for the blind for all the unemployed umpires. That, friends, is why I take the stand as I do on baseball.

Two Hundred Sixteen ddr-u-qdr Track B ' WINNING A CLEAN SWEEP in the pie-eating contest and first in the potato race, Compton won its eleventh athletic title of the year. The potato race was a thrilling duel with Long Beach. Captain Minch. the non-participating captain, was the real hero of the conference meet.. Long Beach led for the first three laps and when it looked like the race, the title and the cup were to be theirs, Cap Minch sub- siiiuted a red hot roasted potato for the regular Viking vegetable. Haden, the Long Beach anchor man. pkkcd up the hot spud, which he immediately dropped. In the meantime. Hicks, the Compton star, passed M.ukn and cinched the meet for good old Compton, .Jimmy Lawrence was the star of the pic-eating contest. Bill Block., Long Beach jaysee luminary was leading the pie-inhaling contest by a bite when Jin. my began his famous gobbling sprint down the crust. Black attempted to fight off the fighting Tartar, and they reached the last cherry pit at the same time. Some said Block had won. Some said Lawrence had won. Some said it was a dead heat. The judges, however, had seen Bill take an extra chew while Lawrence had let his last bite slide down whole. Jimmy was awarded first place. Compton had one break in most meets, with Bud Holdsworth shooting the gun. In the 100 and 1220. he would shoot the Compton boys from behind, thus assuring |them of better starts than their opponents. One of his buckshot fin- ally hit George Warriner in a vulnerable spot and punctured his con- Iceit putting him out for the season. Then Babe Morales, known o the girls as Richard Dix took over the duties of Compton ' s leading printer. Stan Sweeney was known as the Tartar Iron Man . Stan en- tered the running high dive, the low jump and the fat-chewing contest fevery week. He was always a cinch winner in the last event. Coach Harold Lovejoy ' s lower division team was also a winner. Hal had a good two-man team. You might almost call it two-and-a- half, due to the presence of Primo Carpenter. Primo won the league bull-throwing contest with a toss of over 48 feet. He won it with that story, now that time when---. Primo also took second in the discussion contest. Plato Smart hired five timers and cracked the conference record in the hurdles. Plato says he owes all his success to his having to hurdle fences after watermelons all his life. Before the 100-yard dash, Plato was in the dressing-room and Coach Lovejoy told him to come forth. Plato obeyed instructions and came fourth in the 100. Hand in hand with the track and field meets were the Hakespear- ean contests. These contests were held on the track in between events. The reason for this type of double contests was the track team were not drawing a crowd so the authorities decided to give this added attraction to the performance. Budge Petterson and Marion Bills were the stars of the Hamlet squad (so called because they were ham actors). Joe Snell and Marie Smith were other all-conference stars on the Tartar squad. Joe was official dogchaser for the outfit. At least he was always saying, Out, darned spot. Wally Minch was the prop man for the aggregation. Marion Bills, in one of the assembly talk- fests said, Night cometh. Minch, asleep as usual, immediately turned off the lights. Then, remembering this was his big chance to become a hero, lit a match to brighten up the auditorium. Wally was officially voted a wet sardine for his courage and services. Budge Petterson. after a year ' s practice on Hc kespeare, went to the Southern California finals. Against an outstanding group of rivals he won first place. For a prize they gave him a volume of Hakespeare. Reminds me of the time Dave Coates was in the pic-eating contest back in Oklahoma. He got up in the morning and et and et. Pie after pie vanishi ' d down his Joe E. Brown mouth. Contestant after contestant dropped from the race. Dave kept stuffing pies into himself. Blueberry pies, cream pies, lemon pies, all disappeared into his gaping mow. At last, at 5 o ' clock in the afternoon, his last opponent gave up. Dave turned around and started for home. Where you going, my boy. asked the judge. I ' m going home. Ma ' s got some gosh-awful good pie ter supper , replied Dave. Two Hundred Seventeen 93 Sigma Row nOW.

Needing some more writers for Dorothy Del! Doak ' s famous Meeow column, the Sigma Row fra- ternity was organized by her and some more foreigners. After Clark Christopher was elected president the club began to accomplish things. They wrote features for the school daily bulletin. Finally, they put out a humor book called the Lance .

These kind woids were uttered by Syd Ramsaur in adage about the pitcher who went to the well once too oft Rittenhouse, or some other screwy pitcher. Anyway the Vesta Club are a group of girls who wear only vests, it being to warm for coats these days anyhow. Carl Blume also took the Vesta Club as his activity, or so he told Mrs. Byers on May 12. The hospital received a new patient on May 13, and it was not till June 1st that Carl pulled thru his crisis. Proving a horse can be driven but a pencil must be led. AT THE FIRST of this year there was a group of students Very bright and dappah That joined up with Phi Theta Kappa. To join this group it was necessary to be superior, wear horn-rimmed glasses and let your hair grow. The name was derived from a Greek fruit stand in L. A. Pi stands for Polish (Pxlyzisfii in Greek). Thayta stands for The (Thpsqstlm in Greek). Kappa stands for Apple (Klmnottqrst in Greek). The whole group lives and dies by this byword, Polish the apple . The key is symbolic of the org. To tell the truth it is usually the key to someone else ' s car. It is representa- tive of the key to a teacher ' s heart, however. Language Cluhs THE COMPTON LANGUAGE CLUBS — French, German, Spanish and Latin were organized by some bright pupils for the prime purpose of getting grades. These :lubs have two fundamental aims. First, if you can ' t get your grade in a language course any other way, go to club meeetings. There things are cussed and discussed, most of them having nothing to do with the language at all. Second, if you can t join anything else, if your grades won ' t let you into a fraternity, and you ' re not nice enough to join the Y, or tall enough to join the Longfellows, you can always join a language club They are only to glad to pin a badge on your shirt and collect your dollar a semester, only too glad Sometimes tC30. people join a language club to get their pictures in the annual.

They are very partial to Alpha Tau girls and are seen with them at social functions — including the Thursday after- noon dances in the gym. Make it their point to pledge all those with any possi- bility of becoming big shots. They never fail to pick the proper material even though some of them only turn out to be assistant-assistant tennis managers and hold other such important positions. Like their sister organization, the A. T. ' s. pledge mobs and then pray that at least three will be eligible. Then the bright members burn midnight oil to keep their less fortunate brothers in a state of eligibility. In the second semester, they lost control of the student council. This is the first time in Compton ' s history they did not hold the presi- dency. It is rumored that they had a cryfcst at the MacKenzie back alley mansion. The Better Pies believe in being easy on pledges. Outside of making them walk the plank, carry onions around the school, wash and simonize cars and take members ' girls to dances the pledges don ' t have to do a thing. Well— well.

Considered the boys that rate on the campus and co- eds would much rather say I was out with a Beta Phi last night than just a K. E. or Al- pha Sig.

Two Hundred Twenty One 5i Kappa Epsilon AN ATHLETIC fraternity. Organized in the local pool . hall by the billiard athletes. Re- stricted to first string football men and other brutes.

They also have a very impressive ceremony when their men take the chair. Rushing is limited to lifers and any fraternity caught rushing men in death row are liable to lo5e their charter but they can steal another one. The K. E. ' s became prominent on the campus when Buster Webster made Phi Theta Kappa and was elected vice-president of the student body. Then Earle Sweet came along and copped the senior class presidency. They ' ve had every football captain during the existence of the junior college and the cap- ' taincy in just about every other sport except of the girls hockey team. They left! that to another fraternity, the Delta Psi Epsilon. ' Socially, the K. E. ' s stand in with the elite. They are seen at local sorority functions drinking tea with the best of them.

I bring before you that group of creatures, half man and half beast. They walk. They talk. They play poker. They shine at sorority meetings. In short, they are almost human. They range from the imbecilic type like Roseblum and Glen Smith, down through the dangerously insane like Heart-breaker Honig, :lcar down to the groping gripers, the dregs of hu- manity, like Chuck Smith. In the middle of the semester, one of the almost human of the Awful Sicks sat next to a Mirmira- thenian in the library and got an idea, namely that. If we go to sorority meetings, we may get to rate with the women something no Awful Simple has ever done before. So one night, these simps dropped in on the Deity Katty Picfaces with disastrous results for both sides. The Deltys were so dumbfounded they never got over being found and they still are dumb. The Awful Sicks became goo-goo and and gaga with : the idea they were women-killers. They began coming to school in knickers with S. A. written will over f them. This marked the final step in their downfall. The never will outlive it. To make matters worse, the A. S. C. ' s decide.d to enter politics. They did this by running the notorious baby-kisser. Noseinbloom. for president and Dare-all Price, confidence man, for Commissioner of Finance. Price was caught stealing candy from a tenth grade baby and the school refused to seat him in the berth that buys financiers new Forcis. Rosenblum managed to get himself into the presidency on the grounds that Al Smith was a wet. The Awful Six became very ritzy in their rushing toward the end of the year looking for more prexy prospects, which they didn ' t get. Before that, they pledged anybody in school, including Sweet SvNa ' elcy and Darwin Was Right Dixon. However, all hope the Alpha Simple guys will be back at their usual low level next year. The most famous of all the Alpha Sigs is the g:nial Eddie Comstock. their heart-breaking advisor. He ordinarily receives notes galore from the co-eds who are constantly languishing for the ' It man of Comp- ton. With his cigar, his genial smile and his bluff, breezy manner, no Tartarette. or any other girl, can resist his wiles. A typical note filched from his private stock reads.

However, in everybody else ' s opinion, they are just a bunch of telephone girls trying to get along. They live up to that old saying. The three fastest means of communication are Tele- phone. Telegraph and Tell-a- woman. The requirement for being rushed All-Talkie in the first semester was to have been out with a Compton hot shot. It was then that the A. T. ' s got the name of Compton ' s 400 by getting 400 pledges in this semester. They had to rent the Coliseum to hold their Monday talk-fests. The A. T. ' s have a habit of giving bids to girls and then, if they go to some oth:r sorority, denying they ever gave the b-.d. That is good for the reputation, but awful bad on the morals. Noise Leese is the most famous of this tribe of Sirens with Dot Kinsilly and Jo-jo Manley next. Dotty Dell Doak is the leading publicity-getter of the All-Talkies. As society editor of the Squeal, she made it her business to see that the words Alpha Tau got in the paper 9876 times in one semester. In the back of the above photo, arc two A. T. ' s with boyish bobs. One of them, Wilhelmina Heath, is a charter member. The other, Elmira Pros;er. was one of the best All-Talkie catches of the year. He was rushed by the Beta Phis, Delta Psi Omegas. San Pedro Police Force and given the bum ' s rush at the Apex Night Club. Hurray for Alpha Tau. Alpha Tau is very lucky in its choice of advisors. Miss Boardman has all the boys, particularly the track captain, fighting to sit by her in assembly. The usual Alpha Tau It. The Awful Tall girls go for Beta Phis as much as possible, as witness the Stall-Delaney and Cowan-Burgcss amalgamations. Also Bobbie Lyons is affiliated with the whole Beta Phi fraternity. Dot Kinselly and Effie Guil. however, break the All-Talkie tradition by going K. E. Anyone who knows as many holds as Rasslin Jed Ostling gets Effie ' s vote every time. For a time Dorothy went steady with the whole Kappa Epsilon fraternity but she finally narrowed her choice down to Balboa Bobbie Greene, the dance king. Any other dirt will be appreciated.

Once central gave them a wrong number and they got San Quentin. Next day the jails were full. The Deltas affiliated themselves with those Awful Silly Guys the first semester and have been try- ing to live it down ever since. They elected Aileen Oliver president, but that didn ' t help any because she went Alpha Sig too. Then the Deltys were in a fix. The Katties surprised themselves and everybody else this year by getting two girls that were highly-desired by the Alpha T--s. (I dare not spell the name out.) These were Vernie Peterson, who does naught, and Jo McKcehan, who does less. There is a story connected with pledging of Jo McKeehan. Somebody went and told the Deltys they were getting high-hat so they pledged Jo McKcehan to prove they were democratic. The Deltys pulled another fast one, too. They began to resent the publicity the Tartar Squeel gave the Awful Tails. Immediately they had their brainiest member, Eileen O ' Donnell placed on the staff. To help matters mit they also gave a job to that airy bit of Huntington P.irk Sunshine, Phyllis Sills. This plan was extremely suc- ..ssful, to say the least. The Deltys are wondering who they ' ll get next sem- ester when Marie Smith is gone. Who will they get to win ticket prize contests for them. ' ' Tivo Hundred Twenty Six ddr-u-qdr Sigma Delta Chi HERE ARE THE LEADING CLIMBERS of our social tree. Here is the formula for how they climb. First, you put up your best-looking girl for student office. 7 hen you throw a dance. Then you pledge Lucy Belle Eraser and Mary Zweifcl. Then you start going around with Awful Simpla Guys. First thing you know people can ' t tell ycu from All Talkies. There is one difference between Simply Getta Guys and the All-Talkies, however. While the A. T. ' s are all tall and skinny, the Sigma Dclts go in for the short, squatty type of female. And do they get them ,■ As for the title, Simply Getta Guys , the Sigmas framed that by hiring a big-time Ambassador orchestra for their jig. Immediately, some of the fellows thought the sisters must have money and rushed them to death. Most of the S. D. C. ' s grabbed while the grabbing was good. The girls in Sigma Delta Chi are beginning to rate boys with Auburn cords and everything lately. Fellows crowd around their meeting-places and won ' t even give them a rest. Late in the year the Sigma Delta Chi broke into Alpha Tau territory (San Pedro) and pledged Marguerite Oligreen. News of this outrage ran thru the school, subjecting the S, D. C. ' s to the anger of a raging school and the revenge of the powerful Neese Black Hand gang. How any of them survived, I don ' t know, Lynwood is the Sigma Delt home stamping ground. Babies there are taught at their mother ' s knee the traditions of Sigma Delta Chi. Mary Edmondson and Gin Brockman are the only two Lynwood girls in recent years who have escaped the clutches of this sorority. Virginia was going to jump off Brook- lyn Bridge when she missed, but it was too far away, Mary figured she really didn ' t live in Lynwood anyhow, only Atlantic Heights, The Sigma Delta Chis got one feather in their hat this year when they got Frankie McKay elected Commissioner of Social Activities over an A, T, This dropped a bombshell into the All-Talkie camp and the two sororities were hardly on speaking terms for a while. The Sigma Delts lack the publicity penchant of the other sororities. They have no one on the Shield staff, the Meeow column (First with the Worst) or the Bar-ar-Rar, How can they expect to get ahead Two Hundred Twenty Seven 931 Delta Psi Epsilon JUST A BUNCH OF GIRLS who took the Keep your school girl complexions ads seriously and decided the only way to do so was to live on out-of-door life. They carried out the out-of-door plan by cutting classes as much as possible. They can be seen any day turning handsprings on the gym field, playing hockey, or swimming in the local slough. They have produced several boxing champions and are rumored to have a member in the organization who can throw the shot farther than Harper. However, this is only hearsay and you know what kind of a guy he is. When the Delta Psi ' s pledge girls, they are not interested in their social standing or how many motifs they can carry out, butthey dotry to find out just how far they can throw a baseball and if they know the difference between a hockey stick and a knitting needle. One thing we could never ascertain is how Tuffy Cantwell escaped becoming a member of their organization. The only thing they may have against her is that she went out with a boy once. Nine-tenths of their sorority (or should we say fraternity) are Phys Ed majors and the other tenth is trying to break the record for the Australian crawl. We think that the only reason Compton fellows are afraid to take Delta Psi Epsilons out arc because one of their girls once broke four of a guy ' s fingers while holding hands with him. After all, you can carry a thing too far. If you want to get a Delta Psi Epsilon mad. just confuse her sorority with Delta Psi Omega. They have challenged the Omega ' s to a hockey match and the Omega ' s have retaliated by challenging the Ep- silons to a one act play. The administration has stopped this feud between the two sororities before it went too far. The Delta Psi Epsilon, or D. S. E., got their name from their motto. Do Psome Exercise. They are one organization that lives up to its motto. TheD. S. E. ' s go in strong for Gardena girls. Also girls from Atlantic Heights. Proving there must be something about these places conducive to athletic activity. Tivo Hundred Twenty Eight ddr-u-qdi Signa Phi Nothings THIS is the newest of Compton ' s Greek Letter organizations. It was started as a Silence Club or Anti-Everything . Members of the club are not supposed to chew gum. smoke pipes, make noise in the halls, go out with the opposite sex, cough in the li- brary or commit other grievous faults. Wally Mincemeat, president of the club, says, There is al- together too much rumpus around the campus. Although I am one of the quiet type, I notice many things and I promise to see that conditions are improved. Filbert Gregory, vice-president of the fraternity, says, I really am not able to handle the duties of a vice-president as I do not know anything about vice. However I will do my best. I have noticed the trouble some of the men have been making for the people at the stand and I am heartily ashamed as I know that anyone with school spirit would never do anything like that. In all my years at Compton, I can truthfully say that I have co-oper- ated with the Student Stand to the best of my ability. Warren Webster, head of the Weighs and Means Committee, says, It is a shame the way the scholars act in the library, I realize there are few perfect students like I, but everyone should do his or her best to keep order in the library. One of the proudest days in my life was the day when our librarian came over to me and said. Warren, you arc the best-behaved boy we have ever had in the library. Faculty advisors are Miss Elizabeth Kneel, Paul Mickey and Ed J. Brunton. Charter members are Georgie Sullivan, Burdettc Bovee, Art Honig, Florence Carpenter, Sid Lovett, John DeHatre. Stanley Fin- negan and Billy Schleibaum. The fraternity is sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Marie Smith, charter member, gave a long speech endorsing quiet in general and silence in classes in particular. Marie says. I owe all my good grades to my never speaking out in class. To start the org off right, the Silence Club rented the Compton Mausoleum and gave a social func- tion. President Minch said necking was taboo, dancing was null and playing games was void. It was the first party given under the Modern Trend. Don Tapper, our genial, congenial master of ceremonies planned the affair. The quiet calm of this party was so different from usual whoopee parties, that the fraternity now wants to go national and have a convention at Grant ' s tomb next year. The professors highly favor this plan, hoping the convention will be in Eu- rope. One of the most noticeable things about the party was how early it broke up. Not that they didn ' t have a good time. Oh. No! Only that Marie, Minch, Gregory, et al had to get home early to study. What is this modern generation coming to: Next year the Sigma Phi O ' s are thinking of pledging the student body president, the Vox and the Tartarettes, as Feather DeHctre. chairman of the membership committee, says. Two Hundred Twenty Nine 193 Delta Psi Omega O ' GANIZED immediately after the presentation of the scorching revue. Mistakes of 19 1 in order to prevent recurring of such an ' error ' . In other words, Delta Psi Omega was established to bring Compton dramatics to a higher plane and stop this plane from going into a nose dive every once in a while. Joe Snell. noted Thespian, was chosen to pilot this plane and Marie Smith, Lucy Belle Fraser, and Janet Nichols supplied the wind to keep it flying. Bill Heath was admitted into the order because they needed a female impersonator and Rosenblum was taken in because he wrote for the Tartar Shield once in a while and such an organization thrives on publicity. They were going to present The Clod but they decided not to because they knew this play must contain some dirt in it. Finally they planned to give Parlor, Bedroom and Bath because it was the only clean play they could find. The Delta ' Sigh Omega have crossed Eugene O ' Neill off their playing list because he is too com- mercial having written Strange Innertube an advertisement for the Western Auto Supply; also, they insist that he writes too many low-brow comedies like Lazarus Laughed. The dramas they have presented have touched every national problem. They gave Fanny and the Servant Problem, a play dealing with the unemployment situation, especially among servants. Then they gave The Poor Nut, which dealt with the recent nut crops in Kansas which were attacked by the goober fly and destroyed. Delta Psi Omega is doing a good work on this campus even if they only prevent such mistakes as the Mistakes of 1931 from happening again. They can further their Purity and Cleanliness cam- paign by keeping the grounds clean at noon. Mimirathenian T ISTEN, my children and you shall hear of that unbelievable qroup of students, the Mimirathenians, ' - ' how they live, where they live and why. We could find no answer to the last question. The best we could do is get in on an initiation of these mystic myths. Highest Supreme Potentate of the Universe. Gjorge Q. Muster entered. Is you ready, scum. ' ' he bellowed. The trembling neophytes signaled assent. Muster thundered on, Then the Supreme president of Vice, Maid Masten, will you tell your un- worthiness and the necessary requirements. Highest Supreme Quarterback of the order. Frisky Fred Horo- witz, will lead you into the pledge room where you can regurgiate on your past offences. I ' m regusted on you. The deed was did. Highest Supreme Scribe Helen McSpeil followed the pledges into the side room. There was the motif of the organization, a large apple being polished briskly, with an arrow and an A set above it. The ideals of the order were imprinted in this motif. There is only one requisite to get into the great lodge, said Miss McSpeil, There is only one or- deal you must go through. It is a hard one. Ninety-nine out of a hundred fail to pass the test. Are you ready for the question. ' ' The slaves answered. The question! Miss McSpeil said. Spell Mimirathenian. The pledges filed sadly out. Tivo Hundred Thirty ddr-u-qdr The Big House nr here was a shuffling drag of feet--- - -Numbers, numbers, everything done by numbers. As one sweating in- mate put it, We ' re not names in this hole, we ' re just numbers. Thank Gosh I ' ll be out in seven years. Grim -faced watchers paced relentlessly with all-seeing eyes stationed at the best vantage points to prevent a dis- turbance Pale victims sat with downcast eyes, dead tired, fearing the fury of the guards if they should relax for an instant. Once in an eternity a bell would ring and one group of these pallid inmates would rise and shuffle from the room in quick machine-like steps. All the victims worked mechanically, fearing, fearing, fearing Suddenly a chair creaked in the back of the room. The remaining unfortunates shivered for the wretch who had made that noise. They began to work more furiously than before for they knew that the wrath of the head warden was soon to fall upon someone. What dire penalty would he inflict upon that unlucky one. ' ' The head watcher, grim and raging, rose from his easy chair. With a frosty, ferocious glint in his eye, his shary voice rang out in clipped, relentless syllables. Quiet, people, or you will have to leave the library! Vox ' T ' HIS IS THE STORY of one of Compton ' s greatest politicians. Bob Pridgeon. It will tell how he overcame early hardships and how his grit made him the man he is today. The Bar-Ar-Rar reporter went to this modest young man and humbly asked him for an autobiography. Here it is: (By himself.) All my life I wanted to be president of something. In grammar school, I nominated myself for class president and was defeated. In junior high. I tried to be prexy of the honor society and missed it by one vote. My high school days passed fast. I made sergeant-at-arms of the Latin club, and scribe of the Scribblers. I joined every club in the school to try to be president, but alas, fate was against me. I never could be a president of anything. I used to go home nights and cry in my pillow. But all that is over. My ambition is realized. When I entered Compton junior college, I was in the lower division. I ran for Commissioner of For- ensics. Nobody knew me, so nobody voted against me. I was elected by a huge majority---five votes, I think it was. I then decided I would even like to be vice-president. So I got myself nominated. To make my election sure, I tore down all the T signs of my leading opponents. I stole down in the -f dark of night and did the deed. Imagine my em- barrassment when the ungrateful school defeated me for the office. I was heart-broken. I resolved to end it all. Then as I lay on the railing of the bridge, trying to gain courage to throw myself over, a great idea came to my head. I would start a club and elect myself president. Of course I would have to have other mem- bers to be president of, but that could come later. Then none of them could defeat me for my office. I did this, calling the club the Vox, as Vox means voice and that is my chief qualification. I had a hard time limiting the club so that only my friends could get in. But I finally did this and now my ambition is realized. In conclusion, let me say that 1 owe all my suc- cess to my motto, Let there be harmony between the two divisions. Tivo Hundred Thirty One 193 Hall of Shame s TAGE CREW — See the pretty boy? What is he doing? He is sleeping. Why is he sleeping? He ' s on the stage crew. Simple, yes? Miss Ryan has her hands full with this bunch of lumber-jacks. But they stay awake long enough to build some pretty good sets. Sometimes they have night-mares. A-hem! FRANK SCHLEIBAUM — Just one of the Stars in the firmament. If there ' s an athletic team to be made a Schleibaum will make it. Here you see Frank in a placid mood near Lake Placid. Note the suppressed smile. He ' s cither going to kiss the photographer or kill him. The vehicle he ' s standing in front of is not a baby carriage. It ' s a sled. MISS LEECE — Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, Beta Phi, Kappa Epsilon and the non-orgs. A member of the Talpha Aws: in fact they elected her president when she became eligible. Also affected with Hi-therc-itis . Has a bad case on someone or other. HEART HONIG — Is a firm believer in sleep as a builder of men. Look at him. Responsible for increase in heart palpitations among Compton women. Dunn and Bradstreet rate a date with Honig more than a date with the Prince of Wales. Ask him. ROTHANGELLER — That famous team with Roth pitching and Geller playing first bass. Made ha- cha--- ha-cha-- known internationally. Make the Rhythm Boys look sick and feel that way.

She lives down a back alley and insists that all the obliging he-men drive her home. And they do. Known as A student. A what student, you say. Guess. STAY WHITCOMB — The one worshiper of the Student Council. He thinks the sun rises and sets on the council. It may set on them, but it don ' t rise on them. They don ' t stay up that late, and they need to be set on anyway. Stay thought all athletes were bums until he went out for foot- ball and lost six teeth the first night out. Proving, ail men are created equal after all REX DIXON — Known as the traveller. Can be seen at Davidson City any night in the week. Nobody knows this power he has over women, I mean babies. Was captain of the middleweight basketball team and can sink a basket from any angle but the right angle. Will be a big man some day, if he grows a lot. BART HODAK — Better known as the Compton Dance King. Bart is so graceful they call him a gazelle, or maybe it ' s a gazoo. One of those All-Talkie productions you have in every school. Spends more time at White ' s than he does in class and also owes a bigger bill there. Played right tackle on Smith ' s eleven and did a good job of it — so he says.

Now when I had my blonde. said Jack, And used to dance each night Unless I ' d lick a bloke or two I didn ' t feel quite right. Then up spoke George the Little Why listen, pals. said he, I cleaned a fight for an appetite When I went on a spree. A stranger staggered into the group. He rested his weary chin Upon the bar, as for his hair. Uncombed, uncut and thin. I crave a drink, he sadly said. But money I do lack Then up spoke Roth the Harry, You ' re looking rather slack. But I ' ll treat you to a root beer If, aft listening to our tales. You can tell a true one better, One that makes our stories quail. Agreed, then cried the stranger, I ' m not Schneller by name If I can ' t tell a story That will put your tales to shame. Then up spoke Budge, the Fetter ' s so n, ■When I was in my prime There was not a man in fifty miles That could beat my time. I had a girl on every hill A blonde in every town And each went steady with only me If not, well, blow me down. The next was Bovo Red Burdette The auburn Viking ranty. There never was a time, he said Yours triily didn ' t ante. I ' ve played lot of cards, me lads, In a long and sinful life But never have I done a trick To cause such scorn and strife. Flops said. There was once a time I poised on ruins brink I went to Tia Juana bad But never took a drink. The room was hushed in quiet calm It was the stranger ' s turn To tell his story straight and true To the root beer earn.

The trip was a very great success. Many crabs were found including - -. The annual W. A. A. walking contest was voted a tie between Flo Enna Jettick Carpenter and Marie Walkover Ban Voven. The three leading contestants are seen resting after a laborious hike from the faraway print shop. The third contestant dropped out from corns, bunions and ingrown toenails. The good ship Tartar Shield won the annual Tartar slough sailing contest. A wire mesh com- _ _ bination skiff and fly-swatter ■ - , was awarded Mary Lou Jones. ' the lucky winner. She intends to enter the Olympic crew con- test next year. W o r k i n g his way is Pinky Goldstein ' s contribution to the social season. He is posed in a customary position. In fact he poses in that position eight hours a day. Wottaman. Betsy and three other good looking young ladies make up the girl ' s quartet in the lower corner.

Eileen is saying to her- self, I must win, I mus; win for Delta Kappa Phi. However, she soon fell out. leaving the two Hi girls, Marie and Janet to battle it out to a finish. Jan- et won by a fall in the fifty- sixth round. Of course a few thousand dances were held during the year. Each week some club would hold a 15c dance in the Wom- en ' s gym. Usually Earl Burt- nctt ' s orchestry was there. Once the German club even got Rudy Walley and his Royal Comedians. These dances were very informal affairs. Only cords of the dirtiest and prints of the plainest were allowed. Corsages of cauliflower and dandelion were also in order. The upper division and the lower division had a prom battle in May. The lower division did thmgs Rite at the Scottish Rite. No upper jayscc students were allowed, not even Verrill Townsend. With Verrill not around to protect her Roberta Hamlin had poiple punch spilled all over her dress. The upper division retaliated by holding their prom at the Oakmont Country Club and allowing all the lower division kids to show how a real prom should be run off. Some Columbus discovered the grounds outside and then how quick the floor emptied. Result, -no decision. Tivo Hundred Thirty Seven 9 C Terrible Ten OACH PAUL E.

Gets enormous pleasure out of sticking pins in stu- dents just to test their reflexes. Students would get enormous pleasure out of sticking pins in him. MISS LEONA V. SMITH — Believes Public Speaking is essential to a ditch-digger. Some of her students have promise of going into that profession. Offers a free course on the History of Northwestern along with her Speech and Drama courses. Has made Shakespeare understandable even to us morons. E. W. COMSTOCK — Believes in the nickel cigar as an American institution. Has a broad Texan accent which he acquired ridin ' the Texas ranges on his good horse Pinto.

She has a certain boy friend who is interested in her with the following specifications: Height, 6 feet 2 inches: weight,. 210: and a mighty powerful right arm. Was chosen Helen of Troy at the University of Southern California in her senior year and has yet to live it down. Instead of going into the movies like all beauty contest winners she decided to teach school. Too bad for Hollywood! Tico Hundred Thirty Eight ddr-u-qrf Assemblies T HIS YEAR Compton junior college was fortunate in having some of the best sleep producing assem- blies in captivity. The First assembly was the lecture of Mayor Shaw-Bell on Wild Fawns and Flora Among the Rockies. He told a very interesting hunting story on How to Get Little Dears Half Shot. Next in line was the reward assembly when the Commissioner of Finance was rewarded with his annual graft. The president demanded the usual 50-50 cut and was refused. The third program featured Carl Blumay in a pair of carpet slippers and an utsnay vocabulary. The less said about this one, the better. A little Hollywood tap dancer was the main attraction at aud. call No. 4. And how she could at- tract! Babec! (Address. Santa Monica Mtns. No. 4. Phone No.. Beware 0000.) This little girl did such a good job that only 786 students ditched the next assembly. A lecture on ants featured the next one. Uncles were also mentioned. A new machine called the Respirationcr . tallied 1.234,567 snores in assembly this week. The lecture ended as an endurance contest, continuing until 2:45. To make worse all Biology, Botany and Zoology profs called for reports on this lecture the next day. As everybody slept through it, there were loads of blank papers turned in. You couldn ' t copy off your neighbor, as he didn ' t listen either. Last, best and most important, School Daze climaxed the year ' s assem- blies. This musical comedy had everyone in a daze from start to finish with its fast action, et cetery. The Fight Song of ' School Daze follows. For anyone who doesn ' t know it. Sock ' em Compton. sock em hard. Kick em in the pants, Talk em out of everything Don ' t give them a chance. Do re mi. Bite their ears off. Tear their hair Biff them in the eye. Slap their wrists, but not too hard We ' ll win this game or have an alibi. Plays L ED by a dashing 440 man. the Compton jaysee track team was lucky to come off victorious in the meet with Ohio state for the Southern California junior high championship today. Led by the Poor Nut , as the leader is so aptly called, the Compton aggregation pulled a close win out of the fire. Anyway, this play is about a track meet, and the writeup given above IS the one Izzy Rosen printed on his page in the Tartar Shield. Rosen missed the first two acts. Carrying his class motto. Never on time , to the play, he only got there in time to see the relay race and thought the show was the first night track meet of his career. Well, the play. The Poor Nut got its name from the guy that paid six bits to see it. (That was I me) . Most o fthe school got to see the play, because, beeing thtre weren ' t going to get a crowd, they got I me) . Most of the schol got to see the play, because, since the cast wasn ' t going to get a crowd, they got in a play and their people came to see them cheer for good old Ohio state. Pigs , the other school play got its name also from the ticket-buyers, saying they were Pigs for [punishment. Fred White showed his technique on the stage, and every girl in school had his phone number the next day. Proving, it pays to advertise. The play concerned going into the hog business on a large scale. Now that ain ' t modern. A modern boy would pick something clean and easy, like insurance or bonds, if he wanted to go into business quick. And if it was something he had to stay up all night with, he sure wouldn ' t take a flock of Pigs. There was one thing good about the production anyhow. It gave Florence Carpenter a chance to excercise her Sex Appeal without anyone stopping her. It ' s an ill wind that blows nobody good.

He ' s Barnacle Bill the student. Exit girl and Phi Theta Kappa. Enter Winfield Scott dressed in tuxedo with white gardenia in buttonhole, wearing white gloves, spats and cane. Winfield — Well. William, how ' s for you and me to trip the light fantastic tonight? I have two box seats for the opera reserved and we can go to the Biltmore for supper later. What say, old chap? William — I ' m sorry, old bean, but I must study for a gosh-awful test tomorrow. I ' d love to go. Winfield — Well, Will, I wish I was more like you. Industrious and all that. But I must have my fun. Toodleeoo. Enter Kenyon Smith As Smith enters, he calls — Willy. Willy. Shaw (exasperated) — What do you want? Smith — Come on out and play. Shaw — Can ' t, gotta study. Smith — Oh. pshaw. Shaw — What? Smith — I asked your pa and he said you could play until 9:30. Shaw — Gowan away. Nobody can take me from my work. Enter Wally Minch and Junie Bell. Wally and Junie (singing, though nobody could guess that fact) — Sock ' em. Compton. sock ' em hard Wally — Come on. Bill. Let ' s go to the big rally. Bill — I ' m sorry. (Breaks into dance) . Bell — What ' s that? Bill — That ' s the dance of the flowers. I ' m studying botany. Wally — But haven ' t you any school spirit? Bill — Yes, I have. I care enough for my school, not only to die for it. but to study for it. Bell — I, too, should study. I must maintain my fraternity average. Wally — Me too. I must get eligible. All singing as they leave — We ' ll keep our nose to the grindstone, for students gay arc we ACT II — Scene — Typical classroom. Students chewing gum in unison. Elliot Wall throwing chalk. Lea Anderson telling about her latest conquest. Patricia Coates late as usual. George Little pol- ishing the apple. Teacher — Well, Kidlets, I hope you are all ready for your test today. Chorus of Coates, Anderson, Wall, Smith, Scott, McKee, etc. — WHY YOU DIDN ' T ASSIGN ANY TEST! Teacher — Why I distinctly remember assigning a test for today. It must have been in my other class.
