IfIcSweeney's Yellow- jacket baseballers won a 3-2 victory over the Pat- terson preps, Friday, March 15, on the loser's diamond, Turning in a sterl- ing performance, Harold Hale, Hilmar sports star, was the outstanding play- er of the day. Ralph Kling, dimunitive second baseman for the locals, romped in for two of the Yellowjacket's runs while Ruben Nilsen brought in the other one to make it three. This was a clear cut victory for the locals as they outsmarted the Tigers throughout the fray, but the Tigers brought in their scores on Hi1mar's three errors of the afternoon. By Yoshito Fujimeto Henry Spini, booming tackle for the local grid squad, gained a first string berth on the Modes- to Boe's mythical sll-oon- ference team as announced December 12 by the Bee, Big Harold Bartseh, guard and Jim Crawford, full- back, came out in the second team.

Headed by Coach R. C. Berry, these Yellowjacket gridders revealed some of their true colors in the last game, when they thoroughly outclassed the champions, the dreaded Patterson Tigers. Although leading l3-O at the fourth quarter, a glaring weak pass defense, which was the cause of many a defeat earlier in the season, spelled doom for the fighting Yellowjackets in the closing minutes of this thrilling fracas. i K 1 , .- i sf 9 . : 3 M fl , 't I M Y .

'Q Ein S f . . - L Y O Yellowiacket Cagers Have Hard Time Although the local Yellowiacket Hoopsters did not turn in a remark- able cage season this year, most oi the encounters were close enough to make them all very exciting affairs, With only a handful of green pros- pects to start with, Coach Bob Berry had a tough assignment on his hands, but by mid-season he had rounded into shape several depend- able players. Captain Charles De Salles and Carl Turner, tall center for the locals, were leading scorers of the Yellowjacket squad. The varsity finished the regular Modesto Sub League in fourth place.

Defeating Linden and Newman, c h a m p i o n s of their respective leagues, the Bees captured the Mo- desto Sub League title for small schools. A 27-21 victory over Tuolumne, Mother Lode Champions, gave them the right to meet Rio Vista for the Central California High School Ath- letic League crown, but the locals were swamped 42-19 in this titular game.

A very cold C team was swamped in the titular play-off l6-8 by the smooth working Modesto five, and thus Hilmar had to be satisfied with a second place position. Playing reg- ularly were two Freshmen, Wallace Swanson, center, and Kenjiro Akune, guard, The other three were vet- erans Charlie Pata and Roger Kling, forwards, and Manuel Amaral, guard, Although not seeing as much action as the regulars, Iohn Franges received a small block for his ef- forts as a substitute guard.

Boys Enjoy Varied Minor Sports With physical education a requirement in all California high schools, all the boys take part in some form of athletic events during P. E, hours. ' The physical education classes may be divided into two groups, those participating in major interscholastic sports, such as football, basketball, baseball or track and those out tor minor sports such as tennis, handball and volleyball. Since all the boys are not interested in the interscholastic team events, there are always minor athletic events to indulge in. Minor sports, this year, included tennis, handball, volley- ball, touch football, basketball, track fundamentals, badmin- ton, horseshoes, golf and swimming. These events were taken up according to the major athletic seasons. During the exciting football period these minor sports- men, numbering about 40, all participated in learning the fundamentals of track events under Track Coach B. I. Simon- tacchi. As the gridiron season died off and basketball rolled around, touch football was also introduced to take in some of the retiring gridiron heroes. This group came in under the baseball coach, E. R. McSweeney. With the coming of the two important spring sports, base- ball and track, we find a depleted group of minor sportsmen getting their share of tennis, handball, badminton, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pitching and golf. Coach Bob Berry kept these boys busy while Coaches Simontacchi and McSweeney took over their share of the major sports happenings.

Cedenia Austin, who turned out a superb performance throughout the season, scored 8 points for the victors, while Helen, displaying strong defensive work, held back Do- lores Maze and Patricia Austin with Z points each for the losers. In the preliminary playoff game, Patricia's team trounced Donna Klint's sextette, 21-6. Intramural tournaments were played during Physical Education classes for eleven out of the 14 Weeks spent in basketball. The first three weeks were spent practicing pivots, juggles and seven different passes. Miss MG SWS and Speedball Performance ls Given Mrs. R. C. Berry, . In a fast game of speedball Alaire Vosti's team walked off with the championship by defeating Dorothy Rudes team, 6fO, on November 9 at the Girls' Athletic Association assembly. With the whole Student Body witnessing this exciting tour- nament game, it was especially marked with well executed kicking and steady passes. Refereed by Dorothy Pearson and Mary Amaral, the play- ers in both teams put up a good fight. Pour weeks at the beginning of the first quarter were de- voted to intramural speedball games. Prior to these games, two weeks were spent practicing dribbles, passes and the two ways of picking up a ball. In the preliminary practice games, the referees were trained for their important jobs.

Two Teams Win Tournament Oriel Twol Now over the netl The players must hit the ball at least three times before it goes over the net. Using this new rule in volleyball this year, the girls physical education classes had intramural tournament games throughout the three-week season. Each of the four teams played two games during class every day, After the first games the two winning teams played and the two losing teams played. A plus was given to the team winning both games while the team losing both games received a minus. Cedenia Austin's and Betty Weilburg's teams were winners in the first and second period classes, respectively. Y if 1 Ai' wi 'P ' Left to right, Patricia Edminster, Patricia Fleshman and Violet Kumimoto. Girls Minor Sports Number Five X Archery and hit-pin baseball opened the physical education season, but very little 4 time was spent in these sports. y Wednesdays were set aside for rhythmical exercises. After learning the funda- mental movements the girls worked out original patterns to individual music. A demon- stration of the accomplishments of the year was given at the program for Open House April 12. Beginners in tennis didn't have a chance to play as instruction in tennis wasn't given this year. Tennis and badminton tournaments were played only on playdays. fs4c::::::::::::::::::::v GREETINGS FRHDI-I I.
