At the Long Beach Relays came more first places, including the annual Southern Pacific A.A.U. Relay championships and some notable achievements by the distance men. In the triangular meet with U.C.L.A. and Santa Barbara. Occidental ran U.C.L.A. a thrilling sec- ond in the most colorful meet of the year. A dual meet sent Pomona down in defeat, and in the Oxy-Tech-Whittier event which occurred on the Patterson Field the scores of eighty-one for Occidental, fifty-six for Whittier, and twenty-four for California Institute of Technology speak all too clearly their own story. By losing the San Diego seventy-eight-and-one-half to fiftv-two-and-a-half, Captain Jerry Isett ' s track team lost the Southern California Conference. Then they put their spikes in suit cases, and to the mid-west and to the east-coast went Coach Joe Pipal, Captain Jerry Isett, Claude Kilday, Stan Langsdorf, Walt Middlcton, and Paul Sampsell to carry galloping school colors through the Kansas and the Penn. State re- lays. Only in Kansas they were sick, these sun-baked southern Californians, and not very much happened. But at Penn. State they were well again, well enough to place second to Texas in both the loo yard and 440 relays over such notable competition as Army, Columbia, Princeton and Dartmouth. Emerging from any category that might tag them minor sports by virtue of their formid- able opponents, the Occidental swimming team was spot-lighted throughout California this season as they traveled and met U.C.L.A., Stanford, San Jose State, Athens Club of Oakland, Hollywood Athletic Club, numerous junior colleges and a full conference schedule. Swimming, paddling, splashing their way into special mention in this issue of La Encina were Russel Bay, back stroke; Baily Abbot, diver; Henry Wood, Jim WTiitney, Darrel Miller and Howard McGrath, relay team; and James W-Tiitsell, who provided a certain aquatic ver- satility by diving, swimming or relaying wherever and whenever needed. The tennis team, with an abandonment to the leisure of its sport that is every gentle- man ' s perrogative, lost most of its matches against unusually strong competition. Playing a smooth and fairly consistent top man was John Houghton, while Charles Bosworth, Bill Heideman, William McClintock, James Kruelish and Frank Hardison donned white shirts and slacks often enough to keep equally white balls bouncing back and forth over nets on every afternoon when the sunshine and air proved too nice for scholastic endeavors. Finally finding adequate home lands amidst the lovely surroundings of the Annandale Country club, the varsity golf team early in May settled down to a month of collegiate com- petition. Warren Fellingham, Frank Hardison, Glen Dumke and Virgil Sandifer offered strong opposition to all comers— though this last statement may be a slight exaggeration with only one match having been played, that a tie with Pomona, as La Encina goes to press. 27

Losing only four games, and two of those to undefeated San Diego neophytes, Oxy ' s freshman basketball team romped to second place in the Southern Conference. High-point man on the Occidental team was Bill Walton who fought hard for that honor on a squad which boasted of more high school captains and stars than Occidental has seen in a good many years. Potentially one of the best intercollegiate ball clubs on the Pacific Coast, the Oxy horse- hiders early in the season developed a state of lethargy from which they never quite emerged. • And so with spring fever replacing spring practice, the baseball team owed its single scin- tillation to Captain Hersh Lyons whose batting average of 450 and often phenomenal pitching gave the team its single vestige of serious purpose.

Around and within the cinder path, the Occidental track men dug in spikes with re- sults and endeavors sufficient to focus the spotlight of public attention upon them. It all began with a handicap meet with U.S.C. which the Bengals had the audacity to win. But then, what could the Trojan do against 440 relay team that ran 42.8 seconds composed as it was of Kilday, Middleton, Johnson and Langsdorf? Against 350 athletes from thirteen universities, colleges and junior colleges, Occidental emerged with top honors in the open and second in the college division. Relays again proved to be the chief emotion evoking events where the excitements of the crowd were concerned, with the glorious surprize of the mile baton team ' s winning first place. 26
